PLOT UPDATE!!
Intro!Early in the morning the first snowflakes of snow began to fall. Within an hour a fine layer of crisp white snow coated the ground and clung to the trees. The air was brisk and cool, crisp and biting. Despite the snowfall the village seems eerily peaceful and serene. Winter has come. As the morning did turn to afternoon, the wind began building and the snowfall became heavier and heavier still. The relaxing calm was rapidly fading, and by early evening the mood had taken a far more serious turn. The snow is heavy and piling up rapidly. The wind is building to a feverish pitch and visibility in the blanket of pristine white snow is near impossible. Familiar landmarks by evening are obscured by the blowing snow, and those few who found themselves outside when the weather turned most foul, sought to seek shelter, any shelter. But once inside and hiding from the cruel hand of Winter, the magic did lock or block their path. Snow sealed them in, banks of snow piled high above the exits. Trapped in their snowy tombs, those who have found themselves stranded must take care. For the magic allows none to apparate. Trapped they are, though they know not yet, for three whole nights. There is no chance of escape. We sure hope someone packed a lunch... Those not trapped in places outside of their homes beware! For while not stranded they have other obstacles to contend with. While Winter brought snow it brought too another surprise. Terrible beasts, who cannot be stopped by means magical or otherwise. Fearsome creatures of great strength will give chase, undo and deter any attempts to free those stranded. Once again the residents find themselves at the mercy of magic, which to none, shows any favor. Guidelines!1. Those who live in apartments 1-8, if they are inside when the storm hits, they will be trapped there. The snowfall will become so rapid, and the magic will multiple the snow that has fallen, causing large banks of snow to snow in those on the lower floors of the building. It is up to you if your character is trapped in their own home. Poke the players of your character's room mates, and see if they are trapped with you. Don't be shy! [Not restricted to those normally in apartments 1-8 can include guests. Make it known.] 2. Apartments 9-and above are accessible. There is not a main lobby in the building people can reach. They are all singular units, and have only ramps to reach each unit. You must go outside, to leave your apartment and reach another. [see 12] If you plan on having other people staying at your apartment that do not ordinarily live there, the magic will allow people to sleep where they like for the duration of the storm. 3. There are monsters about. Read the description above. They cannot be harmed by magic or weapons. But if you try and free those who are trapped, they will attack. So take care. Also just to be sure we don't have any monster slayers about, your magic wont work while you are outside (completely mugglised until you are back inside) Better stay inside and wait it out. 4. The storm will last 3 days. So that means Tuesday- Wednesday and Thursday. We will announce the end of the storm on Thursday. 5. The list of those who are stranded is posted below. Not everyone got paired up with another, but we did try and accommodate as many of you as possible. 6. Those stranded will have only with they brought with them for the first 24hrs. After this, the magic will help them out and give them food. We will post when this occurs. 7. The winds are very high, dangerously so. Flying with brooms or otherwise will be impossible. Also with out magic you can't fly a broom or yourself anyway. 8. Everyone has their journals. There are no limitations on those. 9. It is very, very cold. (-40C/F) Do not venture outside unless you are well prepared. And since you don't have magic to help you (while outside), you'd best stay indoors. 10. No one can be dug out or otherwise saved. The snow is piled two storeys deep and packed tightly, unless a building has a third storey, they will not be seen. The business sector is completely buried. (This includes no sending of Owls! Poor things, care packages cannot be sent outside of the apartment building. All magic is ceased outside other than the villages) 11. Mod approval for daredevils, adventurers, injuries etc. If your character is planning on going outside for more than 15 minutes we need to know why and issue consequences. 15 minutes is not long enough to even get to the business sector from the apartments. The Village is huge. 12. The ENTIRE village is covered in hard packed snow two storeys deep. People are free to organise a group tunnel dig for apartments 9-22 as the Monsters cannot get to them. No one should be tunneling for more than 10 minutes without mod consent for pretty obvious reasons. This must be done by hand or with whatever tools found in the house. Anything transfigured in the apartment to be used as a tool will go back to normal outside. No magic. This should not be fully accomplished on the first day. Stranded!Just to remind people of the locations in the village, here is a link to the locations info.
