NEW ISLAND: CHOL

Who: Everyone!
What: There's a brave new world to explore
When: December 14th and onward
Where: Chol
Warnings: Mark as needed!

The Overview: Chol
On the dawn of the 14th, characters will awaken from a brief, rather harried dream with the Storyteller who has advised of a new island accessible through the mana pool. Welcome, adventurers, to the island of Chol.

The edges of Chol are unremarkable, craggy bits of cliff and rock, gradually sloping upward into a vaguely mountainous region. While there's not a great deal of natural life growing here, characters may nonetheless notice the odd prey animal scuttering about, only to vanish in the steep cracks running along the cliffsides.

Once the island's hardened exterior is crossed, the rocky canyon gradually gives way to a gently sloping valley that, the further down you go, reveals an atypically verdant center. The contrast is not sharp to the point of unbelievability, but it's clear that the valley is where the most life is sustained in earnest. The rock dips in an almost craterlike fashion to favor the fertile heart of the island, around which the people who live there has established a rudimentary encampment.

Chol Outskirts: Do Not Break
As described above, the island of Chol is composed of mostly rocky ground, with very little fertile soil. Further examination of this land will prove that the composition is hardly a natural one- the dips, valleys, and sharp rocks reminiscent of craters that scar the land. It's not surprising that no one lives here.


There is, however, still things of interest to find here. Scouting Jormun will be happy to stop and direct characters to camp, whilst others yet may have goods to trade. All will point anyone with questions to the center of the island, where their leader resides- but if you're willing to accompany them in their scouting and hunting duties, you may just find this amphibious race warming to you quickly.

Chol, C3: Just Carry On
At the sloping center of Chol, a veritable village of tents can be found, with Jormun hurrying to and throe. In the center of this point, they seem to be busy building walls and spiked partitions- and surveying all of this is their mighty leader, Muninshhashvark. But please, call her Munin, if that's easier for your less wet tongues. Here, trade is at it's peak, with plentiful interesting items on offer- for the right price. Adventurer's can feel free to wander through the encampment, though try not to get in the way of anyone who looks particularly busy.

Munin however, though in the center of everything, is more than happy to be approached-- by anyone willing to look past the fact that she is an eight foot tall snake.

[ she does wake up, her head tilting in such a way that her cap falls off and on the ground next to her. Blearily, she blinks to life, watching Mickey until he comes into focus!! Oh!! It's a friend!! That's so nice! ]

Mickey! [ she beams from ear to ear. ] Good morning! Or, uh...good...? [ she looks around her. What time is it? ] ...day? Did you bring these for me?

[ her voice cracks a little. She must have been napping for a while. ]

[souris_keteer]

[He stops, blinking.]

Aw, gee, Luna, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you!

[holdmyhand]

[ her droopy shoulders flex toward her ears while she gets in a little stretch. ] Y'don't gotta be sorry!! [ she grins happily. ] I was probably due to wake up soon, anyway! Is everything okay?

[ she pulls her arms under the fronds, relishing in the small amount of warmth they provide...yes, what a good gift. uwu ]

[souris_keteer]

[He nods, deciding to hand over the newest fronds he found anyway.]

Aw, everythin's all right. I was just worried you might get cold like that.

[holdmyhand]

[ she takes it and.....puts it on her head. Because she's already covered in them. They're warm like a hug, and she seems very happy with them. ]

Thank you! [ SHE'D WEAR THEM ALL. She'd be the happiest pile of leaves around, at this rate. ]

[souris_keteer]

[he laughs a little, because it does look kinda silly.]

You're welcome! You never need a hand with anything, you know who to find!

[holdmyhand]

A-actually.. hey. [ she sombers up just a little bit, the leaf falling off her head and into her lap. ]

...maybe you could keep your eyes peeled for someone for me? [ she stares down. It's hard to ask for help. A very childish thing to do. Very adult to be relied upon, very childish to rely upon. Who makes these rules, anyway? She fiddles with the leaves. ] I'm looking for my partners...I feel like they're here, somewhere.

[ she wishes she could show Mickey a picture. :( ] They kind of stand out...a big, red cat-wrestler, a big pink bear, a whale, and a little bee with a scarf. [ she's figured out how to better describe them since coming here-- no one besides Guzma knows what a Wailord is, or the terror that is a stressed Bewear.

She misses them. ]

Y-you don't have to look, but if you see one of them, let me know!

[ Now isn't the time to be distraught. She starts to stand. Lots of island to explore!! ]

[souris_keteer]

[He blinks, and nods along, wondering why she sounds so reluctant about this. Didn't he ask her to help look for his buddies back when they first arrived in this crazy place?]

Why, of course I will! If they're important to you, then they're important to me too. I'll keep an eye out and if I see any of 'em, I know who to look for.
