current plot info!!!
Hello Hadrielites! I thought it might be helpful to pull together the info we have on the current plot to go along with Wash's post, especially for new players who may not know what's going on. Please help me out, because I'm certain I've missed things!
12/26 - At the beginning of the stampede event, Keith and Steak report that they (and Harlan, who was killed) were attacked by "weird tentacled creatures" with armor and thick shells. They were able to escape and make the post, and Steak drew a masterpiece.
12/29 - Hope returns and posts to the network. Nick and Wash take the opportunity to ask about the tentacled creatures, and are later told that 1) they resemble the Host species that used to inhabit Hadriel 2) the gods can communicate with them.
(About a year and a half ago bone and shell fragments were discovered at the bottom of the lake that Hope confirmed were from an "allied" species.)
12/31 - Harlan is resurrected and posts a summary of his encounter to the network (fight run down is here), confirming that they're intelligent creatures with emotions but he wasn't able to communicate with them. They see us as a threat and their beaks are deadly, but he was able to get a picture, which Wash will later send to Name and Hope.
12/31 - Wash asks Name if it recognizes the creatures, it does not on its own but says that the Null have records and that they once inhabited this planet.
1/12 - Wash posts to the network after speaking to Nick about organization. His goal is to get people behind the idea of capturing one of these creatures should they return, so that the gods can try and speak to it, as well as getting the Guard some support for defenses. He at this point believes them to be host species or descendants of the host species that either survived the genocide OR turned their back on the gods to some degree. He is also curious about the bunkers in the ground outside of the city.
1/21 - Peter posts to the network announcing that he was ambushed/attacked by four of the tentacled creatures, and that they did not try to communicate -- just went for the kill immediately. He advises that no one leaves the city or goes anywhere alone, because his spidey sense didn't detect them sneaking up on him. He managed to get a selfie with them as he fled, and got a chunk out of one of their shells.
Additionally, for host-related antics, this summer Ravine stirred up the host souls and Caedra tortured one for information. Not much solid info but worth a look!

Which brings me to the second part of this post! There are four headers in the comments, for ooc organization and inclusiveness. If you can comment on Wash's post, awesome, but if not we're happy to hand wave that to get you involved! We may not be able to do anything with this due to the nature of RNG encounters (I'll ask once I have an idea of who wants in) but it's a CR opportunity at the least.
Plot Sharing: did I miss something vital that should be added to this timeline/does your character have more info? I will edit it in!
City Defense: would your character (whether they're in the Guard or not) join in an organized effort to defend the city from a nautilus attack/do they have any special skills that they think might be useful against these guys?
Creature Containment: does your character have any skills that might lend well to trapping a tentacled thingymabob safely, so that the gods can try to have a chat with it?
Other Plotting: would your character do something else off the wall you think the game at large should know about?
I hope that this is helpful!
