Fracta Crystallis: Addendum

[melodiesmods]

Hello dear players, this post is for you to contact the moderating team and the archfiend players if it is so necessary. As we are nearing the end of the event's second week, multiple groups are about to move away from their starting location, whereas other groups are about to reach the cities shown on the map.


The threads below are so we can give you what information you need to continue playing freely upon leaving your starting location. For the most part this event is player-driven and as such we will give you what information you need to play without having to rely on modly interventions. However the moderators may intervene to play certain NPCs or certain specific elements in locations or interests. Likewise, the Archfiend players can intervene to interact with characters who are close to their territory.

Please reply to the first thread if you want a NPC (most likely an Archfiend though depending on the characters' location it might be someone else) to intervene within your current post if you want to have your characters encounter someone without reaching one of the cities or locations. Refugee Camps can be used for that.

If you are about to reach a location and want the Moderators to give you more details so you can play it out, then please reply to the second thread. Some locations may be partially played by the moderators or archfiend players, which we will tell you if so.

Thanks for your attention!

World Of Ruins Locations

[melodiesmods]

Please reply to this thread to request information about a location your group will soon reach.
We will give you enough information so you can play it out yourself. However, should the location be plot-sensitive or be home to specific NPCs, certain parts will be directly modded or played by the Archfiend players.

<b>Group:</b> The characters in your group. <b>Target Location:</b> The location they are about to reach. <b>Others:</b> Anything you feel is worth mentioning.

[scriptrix]

Group: Levy, Tsubomi, Kaji, Rukia
Target Location: Soul Divider
Others: They're just about to enter the forest.

[melodiesmods]

The Calamity Forest will be much, much harder to go through than usual. Not only the monsters are stronger, but they're also more numerous and more aggressive. They will see the corpse of the Shumi who used to live there, along with the corpses of researchers and soldiers who must have been trying to get to the Soul Divider.

A NPC will encounter them at a random point during their journey through the forest.

Upon reaching the tree, the situation will be even worse and the corpses will be more numerous. Please contact a moderator upon reaching the final room before the core of the soul divider.

[pole_position]

Group: Pyrrha, Jaune, Ruby, Elenaor
Target Location: Aerilon II
Others: Nothing I can think of.

[melodiesmods]

The city will be very similar in terms of activity and population to the former Aerilon upon reaching it. Traces of the former Downapolis will be gone altogether, asides from the buildings of course. O'aka lives in Aerilon II. Tear's Moogle lives in the city and mover her garden there. Half of the Assassin's Guild is also based within this city.

If and when you reach O'aka, please contact a moderator as this NPC will be modded.

Re: World Of Ruins Locations

[jadethenecromancer]

Group: Jade, Anise, Selphie, Sonic
Target Location: New Mysidia
Others: The group has been heading there to check out the Calamity Simulation. As soon as they realize there are people around, they'll be wanting to find whoever is best equipped to give them information.

[melodiesmods]

They'll be greeted by heavily armed soldiers and adventurers on the first few floors who might just think they are ghost and try to kill them, with half of them equipped with the Ghostbuster Job. Upon clearing the confusion, they'll be greeted by Moglin who will explain to them the tower is now called New Mysidia, as the city was attacked and abandoned shortly after the Apocalypse. The remainder of the tower is far more peaceful and akin to a bustling city.

They'll be told Cid and Mograma both live in New Mysidia. The former has been stuck in the tower ever since the communications with other continents were cut two years ago whereas the later is under the surveillance of soldiers who were once under Sephiroth's command. Cloud's Doppelganger, Akane's researcher friend (and rabbit) and half of the Assassin's Guild live in New Mysidia. They won't be told as much, but can find them if they explore the place.

They will be told Cid is likely to be the one who can explain the situation to them the best. If and when you go to the 30th Floor to meet Mograma or the 80th Floor to meet Cid, please contact the moderators as these two NPCs will be modded.

Re: World Of Ruins Locations

[ninjainviolet]

Group: Sheena, Albel, Twilight Sparkle, Nanami
Target Location: Stiltzkin Castle
Others: Nothing right now...It's a castle! :)

[melodiesmods]

Stiltzkin Castle will be very similar to the way it was prior to the Apocalypse, aside from the monsters now being their Calamity Version. The characters in the group will be able to see the damages caused by the Calamity Monsters, as well as the corpses of three dragons, from when the Heroes of Light explored the place two years ago. The corpses of the dragons will be completely, though for some strange reasons they're not decomposed as they should be.

If they venture deeper into the castle, their journey will eventually be interrupted by an Archfiend. Please reply to this with the post in Stiltzkin Castle when it will be posted so the Archfiend player can intervene eventually.

Re: World Of Ruins Locations

[not_most_days]

Group: Mary, Saori, Ira, Lydia
Target Location: Santa's Village
Others: The thing moving away from the village was noted, but finding shelter and better clothing is their first priority.

[melodiesmods]

They will be able to find more about the moving thing before reaching their destination. The Village of Santa Claus will be noticeably bigger and more populated than before the Apocalypse. They'll be greeted by residents of the village, who will explain to them the city has become a shelter for people of all origins after the Continent of Balance was lost to the Heroes of Darkness and the Earthquake.

If they want more details, they'll be told Biggs and Wedge live in the village and that Prajapati is the de facto leader ever since communications with New Mysidia were cut. The population of the village is most made up of former residents of Aqures Ixen, Balicea, Esdham and Trano Golsaucia. Cuppa Kupo, the Chocobo Farm and the McDuck Bank are now in this village. Reno's Moogle lives in this village along with his cat. Some books from the library of Aqures Ixen are in a new library here.

If and when they go to meet up with one of these three NPCs, please contact the moderators as they will be modded.

Re: World Of Ruins Locations

[mindofathief]

Group: Duster, Minato, Lust, Tazendra
Target Location: Mythril Minds
Others: What the outside area looks like/any obvious things to notice. They'll head in and explore eventually to find NPCs.

[revitalise]

Group: Tear, Kyoko, Ace, Sakaya
Target Location: Balicea
Others: The general condition of the place and anything they might encounter, such as monsters and/or survivors. They'll head to Aqures Ixen afterward.

Re: World Of Ruins Locations

[forcegalactic]

Group: Sparks, Barkeep, Midna, Rialynn, Vincent
Target Location: Ruins of Roalie
Others: Can they run into anything in the desert?

[shinrasfinest]

Group: Chrom, Yuna, Rikku, Sephiroth
Target Location: Old Mysidia
Others: After much wandering around in the Swamp of Sorrow the group eventually meander southwards...

[21stcenturyguy]

Group: Kenshin Himura, Aang, Akane Kurashiki, Aoi Kurashiki
Target Location: The Cursed Forest
Others: Mostly they're just glad to be off Death Mountain. They will be keeping an eye out for refugees as they approach and enter the forest. (They are still a little ways off as of yet, but we're going to handwave a bit of the roadtrip).

Re: World Of Ruins Locations

[neverfirstclass]

Group: Cloud, Reno, Dylas, Johnny
Target Location: Esdham
Others: The little group is a bit aimless in their wandering, picking their way along as safely as they can while avoiding hazardous ground and the local wildlife. They don't know where they are so they just press onward in the hopes of finding....something.

[line_piece]

Group: Chiaki, Jack, K'pandolu, Meredy
Target Location: Forgotten Temple
Others: They're probably heading here in fairly short order if they can borrow a shoopuf, so asking for info now so we can keep things moving since our deadline is coming up.

Re: World Of Ruins Locations

[mindofathief]

Group: Duster, Minato, Tazendra, Mary, Ira, Saori, Lydia
Target Location: Village of Santa Claus
Others: They're entering from different directions (south and west), if that will affect anything.

[boomchucka]

Group: Anise, Eleanor, Jade, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ruby Rose, Selphie and Sonic
Target Location: Lunar Gate
Others: We're considering as a group to investigate the Lunar Base but need to confirm if the Gate is still operational among other things.

[terrorfirma]

Group: Sorey, Mikleo, Lailah, Edna
Target Location: Former Research Centre
Others: Technically in the post we fast forwarded to the location already, just wondering if there's anything useful to be found there!

Re: World Of Ruins Locations

[neverfirstclass]

Group: Cloud, Johnny and Reno
Target Location: Esdham Barracks
Others: Dylas is sitting out of the fight but an old feathered friend may come to help

[jadethenecromancer]

Group: Jade, the rest TBA but probably at least Duster, Albel and Sephiroth
Target Location: Fallen Ruins
Others: I'm still gauging interest, but we're planning on exploring the place after everyone's been reunited and we have access to the Enterprise.
