Hades 💀 Plot 1 - Planning Phase

[blessmefather]

Matt sends a message out on the network to his new allies at the beginning of the new month.

"I need a group of you to accompany me to a forest village at the foot of a mountain, population of about 200. We'll be leaving by airship on the fourth. We're either evacuating the town and taking them to join the refugees, or saving their village from getting crushed.

As I said before, this world is at risk of breaking down. In the case of the mountain we're headed to, it will crumble and crush the village at its base if we don't intervene. I can try throwing a magic barrier up around the village, but my power won't be enough alone. We'd have to take other measures to be successful.

So we need to decide; one, do we focus only on evacuation? And two, if we try to save the village, what approach are we taking to protect it from the landslide? Let's all discuss together. I'm open to suggestions."

How long are we talking about for an evacuation? And do you know how the locals feel about it?

My magic will let me move some earth around, but I'd need guidance on how to most effectively build up something to redirect that sort of landslide, if the trees aren't holding it. And, honestly, even then it would be where solid stone needs to be in place, and having non-magical labor where earthworks will do.

Oh, we helped evacuating a bunch of miners! They would be good people to ask if we wanted to save the town. Or even if we needed to buy more time for an evacuation.

We're leaving as soon as the airships are available because the sooner we get those people out the better. I'd rather not evacuate them at the last possible minute. About 200 people onto a couple airships shouldn't take long to physically move onboard; it's the compliance and moving belongings I worry about. When I was last in the area, the people were friendly and welcoming to a lone traveler. But they've lived in this village for generations. Anyone would hesitate to walk away from their home, not knowing if it will still be standing when they return.

It sounds like we have one volunteer who might be able to encourage the trees to cooperate to some degree. If we work together, maybe the trees can take care of part of the effort and you and the others with earth magic and levitation magic can look after the rest. I can make educated guesses on what to reinforced based on the leftover Gods ether in the soil and rock but it would help if we had someone along who can survey the area or even calculate the trajectory. Is that something any of the miners might be able to do? Or another Corsair?

[spacetogrow]

We can ask the miners. There also might be a Corsair who can. I know we have people who work as scouts and such.

[blessmefather]

Right. I'm starting to realize it doesn't hurt to ask about any specialty among the Corsair ranks. There are all kinds of talents involved.

Anyone you personally recommend for the job?

[spacetogrow]

I'd have to ask around. I didn't get a chance to meet people in depth.

[blessmefather]

I appreciate your help with that. Thank you.

[spacetogrow]

You're welcome.
