HUGE breakthough, folks. Will update all the clues and RP tomorrow, as will others. Damn this was a fun night. (played the parts of eight characters, sometimes three at a time.
)
*edit* Forgot to mention that the cold symptoms seem to be nearly completely gone today. Tomorrow, you will know why.
Ok, let me explain....no, there is too much. Let me sum up.
Janeous is now known to be the culprit behind the plague in an attempt to kill everyone opposed to his god, Lannx...who he sees as everyone. He has been using an illegal compulsion Glyph to control the actual common cold and make it deadly. Folks are assuming the only way to stop the plague is to get the Glyph out of his hands.
How it started (as people have learned by TALKING TO EACH OTHER and folloing the clues that I gave to random players):
Janeous used a cloak that allowed him to look like people he captured and imprisoned under the other half of the cloak (as it was really two cloaks) His prisoners were Aeshion and Tria. He used Aeshion's form to spy, and Tria's to START the plague with cold infected apples at Xillix's meeting several weeks ago.
The cold was controlled by magic, as I gave many hints to. That is why all symptoms changed at the same time, and Kran are immune. It is also why the Vespers stopped being sick, because Janeous stopped it in them in an attempt to make the people think that they were the cause of the sickness, and riot. This failed (but could have worked and you would not have a Xillix anymore)
Though a series of multiple paths, several small groups of players figured out the clues leading them both into the DR to read a book that tells them how to see through the Cloak of Shadows, and at the same exact time (damn you people for taking two paths at once xD) following the path that lead them to Tria and Aeshion under the temple.
They also found out that the Cloak robs the wearer of his humanity, and dilutes him to pure, uncaring evil. They also found out the extended use of the compulsion Glyph will rob a person of their sanity. Janeous has bee using the glyph for three weeks steady. You can now guess what kind of foe you are up against.
The neutral half of the cloak was taken off from Aeshion, who was almost dead (and would have been if this was played out wrong *winks at Einnol*) which trapped Janeous under the evil half, due to the fact that he could not finish the spell that had to be cast on the neutral half to release him. He is still under it now, but it only lets him look like Aeshion if she puts her half back on.
That brings us to now. Jane is insane, evil, and bent on destroying the entire population of 'blasphemers'.
The Cold returns to full force today, and healers will be able to see that it has begun to break down the tisues of the body in a way they can't stop. They know they are running out of time...and Jane holds the only cure.
Have a nice day.
(the Hunt of Janeous Creene will be starting soon, and it will be following old school RP rules. Stay tuned.)
