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."

What kind of splitting are we talking about? Strictly soil or are boulders a possibility?

[bearsperminute]

Fissures in the ground big enough to slam enemy Armor with. So, yeah, most of the time I end up shifting bedrock.

... Only in an Armor, mind. On foot, I can just about manage to breach a bulkhead.

[blessmefather]

Impressive!

Even if we can maintain a barrier around the village for the length of the landslide, there will probably be stray rocks. If you can redirect them or at least break them, that would go a long way towards minimizing the damage.

[bearsperminute]

Sounds like a plan, though-- you say there's a retaining wall?

[blessmefather]

Yes. It goes the full width of the mountain side of the village and reaches up to the rooftops of the houses, but it's an old wall of large rocks and clay. It will help a little but it's not something that will keep this much debris back.

[bearsperminute]

Hm. I'll want to take a look, make sure it's still whole, if it's old as you say it is.

[blessmefather]

It's generations old so you'll definitely want a closer look.
