Scars
Wow.. just wow. I haven't posted in this blog since October, due to some other things that were taking up a lot of my time.
So very much has happened since then; Uru Live has opened, complete with SIX (I think, I may have lost count of them) brand new ages, another area that had been previously inaccessible is now available, and the introduction of some very interesting other tidbits, relto pages, and Bahro stones.
However, the biggest change happened only last night. Unfortunately, I was busy in another world at the time of the actual incident, but did manage to get most of the information about the situation. For starters, a rather large (new) crack appeared in the Kahlo pub entranceway, and because of worries about the stability of the area, barriers were put up and we were warned to steer clear of the crack. Of course, this meant that the explorers (myself included) just HAD to go look. Some of the explorers have had, let's say, a premonition that someone close to the DRC was going to die, despite their strenuous safety measures. Many of us thought that Whillow "Wheely" Engberg, daughter of Michael Engberg of the DRC, would fall victim to this fate. When she came into the city on a marker quest, many explorers tried their hardest to keep her away from the unstable area of the pub, and succeeded.
However...
Later on she and her friend Rosette were exploring the lower floors of the library, and (apparently) found another new crack. Fearing the worst, the explorers, as well as some of the DRC rushed to the library to investigate, only to find a Bahro standing on the roof, screeching. Several loud cracking noises were heard, and then a low rumbling, like an earthquake. I'm not exactly sure what happened, or the exact timeline of it, but apparently during all of this excitement, Wheely and her friend not only went missing, but had turned off their KIs.
Upon checking the forums today, it seems that Wheely IS alive, and IS in touch with her father, but Rosette is still not responding and is presumed dead. By all accounts, she's telling a pretty amazing story, too; she's in a place with Bahro glyphs on the wall that respond to her touch, and a Bahro touched her linking book and disabled it. Although the Bahro have been much more active recently, I've never heard of one actively disabling an explorer's Relto book, nor of one whisking an explorer off to a strange cave like the one Wheely describes.
Something tells me that this is only the beginning of the adventure, and that the events of last night and this morning will change the Cavern as we know it.
More later, my fingers hurt.
