POLL #6: RESULTS

[expiationmods]

Thanks to all who participated in the event and the poll! Here are some of the immediate changes after the end of the event:

THE MONSTER

Thanks to William's coordination of the Chosen, as well as Toph's rock-made prison, the team facing the monster is able to capture it, rather than killing it outright. It struggles against its binding for a while, but soon, characters may notice that the black streaks that cover its body start to recede. After about a day, the "monster" turns out to be this. It'll squeeze out of the cage Toph built for it and get back into the water, spooked about the cage, the oxygen, and all the humans that keep Looking At It.


The octopi that The Chosen fought also disappear after a day or so, strangely enough. There's no trace of them, not even streaks of corruption on the ground from their presence.

THE CORRUPTION

With the main source of the corruption gone, it begins to recede from the earth. Thanks to character help and resources, everything will be fairly normal by the end of the month.


Food isn't scarce, but the limited crops for the time being will make fresh things briefly less available. There's still storehouses that have food stockpiled and game to hunt, so Chosen will be able to get through any shortage mostly intact.


The corruption begins to recede from the buildings, as well. There are some homes/buildings that have indeed crumbled, but as there are a lot of player-owned businesses and homes in Aldrip, the Mod Team will let the players decide how much (if any) damage their buildings took in the event. The Inn and City Hall remain untouched through it all anyway, oddly enough.

THE WORLD

The Chosen have done quite a lot to help the locals of Aldrip, and thanks to their efforts against the monster and its minions, the locals have warmed up to the nicest they’ve been since October’s events. They're not worshiping the Chosen again, but they are being very kind to them. They'll help rebuild, but some of the more aggressive NPCs will very strongly make the case to Chosen that they would like even more help to get the city back in order. They do realize that Jinx had committed violent acts against them, but if asked or the subject brought up, they'll grimly mutter about how the Council will deal with her.


The animals that were scared off during the event begin to come back several days after the attack, making hunting easier starting about one week after the event. Hunters may need to trek a little further away from Aldrip to get some wildlife... but it begins to come back now that the event's over. Some aggressive monsters remain that need to be taken down, but those are fewer and farther in between at this point.

That wraps this event up, and any other changes to the world will happen after the SOTG! Questions are always welcome, and you may leave them down below.
