The UN-common Cold [devious RP]

[Gharan]

Gharin approaches Harnquist to sell some gold and comes across Haag Nizlreth,she pulls him over to a quiet spot and proceeds to tell him that she thinks Xillix the queen of fools has infact started the plague.Gharin is unsure until he hears janeous shouting the following message around the Plaza:

"You are all fools and pawns,You all grasp to the "good will" of your queen of fools,yet you have shunned me?You are blind to see that -she- has created this plague?Or have you not wondered why she tells you that you must pray to -her- god to be cured.You are being used,and you are to stupid to see it!Maybe you all deserve to die by her hands,or grovel at at her feet like the worms you are!

Is it Xillix or are we being diistracted from the real instigator?

[Kalika]

i think its jsut a distraction

[Coneitic]

[since i have those two...... i would like to make one about your murder and one about your memory of the clue for the plague that could posibly cure a race or something big, i want to role play this out big and i think i can help it grow by being the bad guy.... what do you think i have a whole guild willing to help with this idea.. please oh please help me to make this grow big i think it will be fun]

[Gyerfry Stoemsaber]

*Gyerfry Sat at his desk up at the Stormsaber Palace, he began to write a letter.

Dear Xillix and all the other vespers, and to whom it would concern,
I am sorry I'v been gone for so long, I went back to the mountains to help my clan deputy. He's flooded with work. Well anyway, I'v been hearing about a strange desease in Hydlaa? It hasn't gotten up here, the cold is probobly idleing it. I'll be there as soon as I can to help. I'm hoping my messenger will get there with this letter in time. I should be here in a day or two, (Thanks to my clan for lending me this pteasaur(I know I spelt that wrong)). My messenger should be sticking around long enough for you to reply to this.

You friend, Gyerfry.

PS. Whats this I hear about a magic apple tree? Am I the only one who finds that humerous?

[Please note that the messenger WILL appear in game]

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

Dearest Gyerfry,

so glad you will return soon your aid is needed to tend the hospital and the making of mushroom broth for those not too advanced in their ilness. I am taken up with an investigation at the moment but shall visit sporadically to see how you all fare. I t seems Laanx has granted reprieve from this ailment to the Vespers so you should be ok. if you can raise up some support among Kran to help you they are immune also.

Remember your prayers,

Xillix Queen of Fools

I am not sure if you can change a pet's description. Assume only humanoids are targeted.

[Note: Trying to get PS to work on the regular computer I use during the week so I can play more. Otherwise, I'm pulling out of this RP because I won't be able to get on enough.]

Kae'lith burst into the door of her home, the flask hidden under her cloak still burning with warmth. The strange bottle Peacer had given her a day ago, albeit unable to cure her strange illness, had stopped her constant shivering and allowed her some comfort.  She smiled at Delsabor as she entered; unwilling to allow her husband to be sick, she had allowed them no physical contact for the past few weeks (which was absolutely KILLING both of them), and she missed him dearly. However, now informed of all the "plague's" details, Kae'lith would stop at nothing to find its source.

[Arerano]

well, as long as pet's aren't able to get infected they might be used to send letters.
let's say to keep a safe distance

[zanzibar]

I was targetted in game... is this supposed to be in character?  Because really, sick people don't hang out at Harnquist and sneeze on people.  Unless they're evil.  Or lonely.  Lonely evil people?

[Under the moon]

Indeed. Very lonely people. All people are not grand RPers, so you have to make some leeway for them. Also, I have been to crowded restaurants and stores and have been sneezed on, open mouthed (them, not me). So ya, it happens.

Ingame: Only moments ago at 2:20PM-ish GMT, the plague symptoms seemed to fade greatly in all victims at once. Only occasional sneezing remains.

[rhyanon]

*A conversation between Einnol and Rooyannan that occured at approx. 0500 GMT 10/17 in the Laanx temple regarding a (supposedly mute) female Diaboli named Aeshion*:

Einnol says: Tell me again what happened.
Einnol says: So that I may hear it with a clearer mind.
Rooyannan says: you said that she was trying to tell me something...
Rooyannan says: so i followed her
Rooyannan says: up and up into another part of the temple that I didn't not know of
Rooyannan says: I walked into a room that was beyond my ability to describe
Rooyannan says: I was awestruck
Rooyannan says: the energy was so thick
Rooyannan says: she walked toward the other door and I started to follow her...
Rooyannan says: it was then that she showed her true color and called me a fool and tried to make me touch some stone
Rooyannan says: I think she was trying to get me to forget what I had seen.... heard
Rooyannan says: then she growled at me and I ran
Rooyannan says: it was then that I came back here
Rooyannan says: afraid that she might try to find me again
Rooyannan trembles at the memory

[Allive]

Alliva walks into kadas after a long days investigation and getting no were he orders a beer and hears a cough from the corner were a citizen of the city is sitting. Upon investigation he dosent learn anything new but hears a voice behind him. He turns around to find gwinn standing and she pointed out that einnol had sneazzed on hher and that he was heading for the temple of laanx. Alliva thanks gwinn and runs of in persute upon entering the laanx temple he find einnol and another sitting not wanting to get to close he questions them from affar. As alliva questions him upon certian things he learns the that janeous had once tryed to destroy the laanx order up here on the surface. So alliva questions further and find out that janeous was once a member of a lower laanx temple and assasin of sorts that is hell bent on destroying xillix's group. from as far as alliva could make out to gain followers in the lower levels.

this is all i have although if he has once tryed to destroy xillixs vespars wouldnt it be possible he is trying to do it again this time not with his compulstion glyph but with this cold crying out that the vespars had done it and thats why they are cure. trying to get the ppl to turn on them i urge you all to take this information into consideration as i found that this man was infact a master of poison so it would lead me to bilieve he may well hold the cure.

Ok folks, the time has come to reveal how devious I have been. I have dropped a great number of clues ingame....and here on the forums, thanks to a secret friend. I shall now entwine the threads together for you.

Prelude:

http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24498.0

This is where it began some months back....and was thought to have ended. But someone was waiting for a new moment to strike.

http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=25875.0

This moment. But, at the about same time, something odd had caught the attention of one of our NPC guards:

http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=25874.0 *bows to Weavers for the help, and the lone of the guild*

A little while later....

http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=25876.0 *bows to Phinehas for posting the 'harmless' cold for me* Best way to spread something fast is to make people think they have nothing to fear from it. >

But no...it was not such a common cold after all...

http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=25918.0

Then, when a name was going to be given, and a sight told to Jefecra...

http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=25933.0
http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=26002.0

That brings us to now....and the 'cold' is about to get much worse. Your time is running out. If someone can figure out the key name in all of this, I will clue you in on the Next Act. This is far from over. You still have to figure out where, how, who, and whay yhe plague can not be healed by any known cure. Then, you have to stop it.

Have a nice day.

(ps, a smart person would put any names thay see as 'key' in their buddy list, so they can see when the quest is active. Now, I am not going to give you those names, nor tell you how much deeper the plot runs.)

Question: After you get the virus, how long does it take for the symptoms to start showing up?
