THE RUNDOWN

Well, with all of you flammable creatures and your need for warmth and heat, it was bound to happen sooner or later. And of course, since we've been on such a good streak of luck lately, "a fire breaking out into an almost uncontrollable disaster" happens to be sooner, rather than later.

On Thursday, September 14th, Rey (circumitus) will- uh, sneeze or trip over something or just generally surprise herself and ignite a smolder in some faraway corner of a room on the northern half of the city (spoiler: this is where a lot of the houses are). Over time and unsupervised, the fire will spread- slowly at first, and then rapidly as it picks up momentum on all of Hadriel's dry, flammable building materials and sends it all into a blaze.

Is your house affected? I hope not. What about your place of work? A great many homes and shops will be lit by the blaze, and depending on how well you all react to it, they may even collapse and be deemed uninhabitable after the fire is finally dealt with.

And how will it be dealt with? By none other than the Fire Brigade, whose inception is definitely not a coincidence with this disaster. The fire brigade has been training for something similar to this and will be assisting in putting out these fires! Thanks, guys!

THE DETAILS

On September 14th, the fire will start in the North half of the city, spreading rapidly to entire blocks of housing. Characters can feel free to evacuate and call the authorities or run for the nearby sink and try to combat it themselves- though that isn't recommended.

The fire will have spread by the time that the brigade is alerted to it, and the resulting battle with this fire will last roughly three days, ending on September 17th with the fire extinguished and everyone a little soggy. After that, it's up to you guys how you want to rebuild and who had their homes or storefronts destroyed in the blaze!

Please ask for permission and let us know if any significant locations on our location page will be heavily damaged or destroyed in the blaze!

And thanks, Rey.

THE OVERVIEW

► September 14th: The fire starts and spreads to multiple houses. Scary!
► September 17th: Luckily the fire doesn't last forever. Hope you didn't inhale any smoke!
