Masked Killer!!!! ([personal profile] glencolahandaxemassacre) wrote in [community profile] glencolaaa2023-12-04 04:58 pm

PLAYER PLOT: BURN, BABY, BURN

Aloha, islanders! Just in time for the holidays, the island has a very special visitor. :D

This is Amber, and our gracious mod has allowed me to do a player plot by bringing in a temporary character to help the Glencolan transplants blow off some steam after Boarpocalypse!

Please welcome to the island Jason for reasons of the Glencolans not getting sued, a mysterious masked killer who is definitely not Jason! He just happens to wear a hockey mask, carry several of the handaxes that exist all over the island, and enjoy killing innocent people.

See? Totally not Jason! He's really shy and scared, so please help him get acquainted to the island. 🤗

Our new off-brand friend arrives at the island WITH POWERS and PERMANENTLY KILLABLE. Powers which include:

* Superstrength. No single character can defeat him on their own! Characters will need to work together to take the killer down.
* Superspeed. Uninjured, he moves at double the speed of other characters (i.e., moves two squares in the time it takes normal characters to move one). Fortunately, he's as susceptible to movement penalties as anybody else. :)
* Teleportation. To keep this fair and reasonable, he can only do this once per hour and only up to a distance of 10 feet.
* Super-sealth. Careful! He's right behind you. :)

He also has a Santa hat. Obviously.

Now, what will our pal be doing with his powers?

He will spawn in XI.CC.12 and immediate head in the direction of the Pacairs on the morning of Morning 47, and will continue to be on the hunt for potential victims through Night 49 or until he is killed by the player characters, whichever is sooner. Characters near that area will see and snell smoke, which will get worse the longer the fire blazes.

In order to lure other people to him and quench his bloodlust, our homicidal friend will ALSO be starting a huge giant fire, of course! He's got a flair for the dramatic. The fire will also burn from Morning 47 through Night 49 OR until successfully put out by player characters, whichever comes sooner. Keep in mind that the sooner the PCs get the fire out and kill the murderer, the less the damage to map and the fewer NPCs will die.

Characters can help fight the villain, help put out the fire, or assist injured pacairs! If you would like to sign your character up for putting out the fire, please sign up here with our lovely head mod!

If you would like to have your character fight the killer, you can either let me know in this post or just jump into open mingle log, which will be going up shortly! Please be aware that by having your character in the final fight against the villain, you give me permission to inflict minor to moderate injuries on your character without asking you. I will still ask individual players and get in touch with people for things like severe injury and death.

The goal of the plot IS for player characters to defeat the marked killer in the end, so we'll definitely make sure that happens!

I (Amber) will be tagging/rolling outcomes for the killer fight, and our lovely head mod Thalia will be tagging and rolling outcomes for the fire side of the plot.

Good luck!

FIREFIGHTING SIGNUPS

Want your character to participate in the event, but don't necessarily want to engage with the killer? Want to do a little bit of both? Please comment here with details about what your character is doing to fight the fire in tile XI. This can involve directly fighting the fire or doing fire-related damage control, such as saving known structures/settlements in the area from damage during the event duration. Participation here will heavily affect what the island looks like post-event.

Senku's already over there so he can help with putting out fires! It kiiiind of depends what resources he can find/scrounge up. It's not out of the realm of possibility for him to build some sort of contraption that makes moving buckets or something along easier, but he's really not the "do things by himself" type as we all know so he can't do it alone. Either PC or NPC help is probably required.

I'm leaving this pretty open-ended for the moment to see if anyone else is/will be nearby and want to help. I don’t have a concrete idea of what Senku's help looks like, but blah blah engineering genius who can bossily give orders easier than carry heavy buckets himself (he still will, he's not useless).

I don't imagine Kokichi will be eager to venture back out into the jungle and get directly involved with firefighting, but he'll probably assist in his own way by scouring all the buildings near the airfield for buckets or anything else that can hold a decent amount of water, fix anything that's got holes so they can actually hold water, and just quietly leave them with any other supplies being gathered.
