Glacial Expanse[Plot] Suseptible Character Types: All in the marsilion area Plot Overview: Approximatly 7PM on December 29th an eruption of icy blue light came from the eastern side of the lake. With this light a tidal with of firely energy of the same color rolled over the lake and the eastern side of the town, changing the people and objects there. A large structure has appeared over the eastern side of the lake itself. Weather has been changed considerably.Plot Information: Changes to landscape The effected region is large, covering most of the lake, the easern side of town, ranging to the mountains far east. With the center of it being on the eastern lake shore.The lake is frozen over in ice, this ice does not melt from ambient heat, though local areas may be melted by articial means. This ice is three to five feet thick. Trees in the effected area are replaced with ice spires, down to leaf shapped plate ice. Wildlife in the effected region has transmuted to either arctic wildlife for mundane creatures, or cold themed but non sentient mythic creatures. The weather has changed too, effecting both the transformed region and surrounding areas. It never raises above 5 Celsius and while snowing often it never gets beyond a foot thick, except in character made piles. Changes to town Building in the blast radius are changed too. Most buildings are now made of a thick stone, northern wood, or even densely packed snow. While the shape and function of most buildings hasn't, several have. Extra fire pits have appeared int he changed zone, along with thick cobblestone for the streets. Crystal ice, that is a quartz like crystal resembling ice, has replaced all glass and spires have grown up attached to buildings while genuine icicles, some dangerously sized, hang off building overhangs.Notable building changes - Community center: No longer has pools, having been replaced with geothermal hot springs. Made mostly of stone. Modern lighting replaced with wall mounted fire torches. - Tech Cafe: Most furniture made of Crystal Ice, walls made of packed snow. No central heat, only heat from devices and central fire pit. - Skywolf camp: Cabins replaced with large igloos - Warf District: Ships docked replaced with giant sleds - MAF Base: Most buildings now made of snow and crystal ice. Vehicles reduces to sleds and snow mobiles. Aircraft insides filled with ice and inoperable - Town square: Fountain removed for instead the statue of a an unknown maiden made of crystal ice. Changes to Characters Characters, normal and NPCs alike, in the altered zone are changed. Instincts change too, though levels or proficiency. (An expert fire mage with ice powers would find themselves an expert ice mage. A novice fire elemental would now be a novice ice elemental)Characters are free to come and go from the changed zones, though no further changes will take place. If an altered character is magically examined it will seem as though this is their natural state. Characters with extra plot elements will receive instructions from GMs that may contradict the above. All effected characters do not feel cold Ice Fortress On the eastern side of the lake has risen a large fortress like structure made of opaque ice. This is not crystal ice though it does not melt and does not break. The fortress is the size of an old English castle, though lacks any windows and the entrance archway over the edge of the lake is barred. Any perceived openings are covered by an invisible barrier the freezes what touches it.Attempts to teleport into the fortress are in vain, as anything attempting to teleport inside returns to where it came, encased in solid ice. Crystal Chest A stereotypical chest, 3 feet wide, two high, and two deep. Made of a rainbow of crystals and a gold band around its rim, this gold band has seven gemstones of different colors, two on the left side, two on the right, two in the front with a large diamond int he central front and a large sapphire on the top. The chest does not open, and attempts to remove it from the effected area result in the chest hitting an impenetrable invisible wall.Reversions The effected area has been shrinking as spirits have been dealt with. Some characters are eligible to change back if their player wishes.Weather Break The town is back to normal, and the snow has stopped though the temperature isn't any better yet.Characters:
Postplot Information: After the last spirit has been destroyed the mysterious energy wave that started this rolled over the town in reverse, undoing most of the changes. Some places of packed snow construction or crystal ice remain. Some architectural changes linger, though most have reverted back.Character in play after the plot starts may not be signed up without expressed GM permission due to circumstances. However it is not a victory without cost. There is a large deathtoll about hundred and fifty, and half of the injured, some critical. Its is a time to mourn, recover, and move on. (OOC: If a player wants to get rid of a charactrer this is a good time to do so) | |
