vivalaWho: Open to all Corsair characters
What: Evacuating a village and prepping for a landslide. Then the landslide.
Where: A small hidden village in the forest at the foot of a mountain
When: Backdated to the 4th of March
Surveying the Area
Those who have influence over the elements, or know how to calculate a way to divert some of the impending landslide will want to explore the village layout and the area around it. The village is a humble circle of stone and wood buildings surrounded on all sides by old, towering trees, with a few trees in between some buildings. The ground of the village has been leveled, but upon reaching the edge of the village on the mountain side, the ground makes a steep incline. An old stone wall a little taller than the nearest hut was assembled on this side of the village to divert falling rock or water, but there's no saying something only so tall and worn with age will stand up to the kind of disaster Matt has been warning of.
Evacuating the Residents
Matt has visited this village before during his travels and has good relationship with the elders. It will take some pleading, but the elders will eventually agree to evacuate on the off chance the disaster really comes. Most of the villagers follow their leaders' words, and start packing some supplies and cherished belongings. While it's a small village, some people unintentionally slow the process. Some have pets or livestock to wrangle, others have mobility issues, and there are those who just can't decide what to bring and are having trouble thinking clearly due to panic.
Convincing the Stubborn
A few intentional stragglers insist on staying in their homes. Their neighbors plead with them to come, but they insist that the village wall will hold. One or two might even believe the Imperial propaganda that that Corsairs are up to no good. Do the Corsairs trust their plans to protect the village will protect the stubborn, or do they try to convince them? Or do they take different measures to get them out?
The Landslide
Matt warns all the Corsairs of the time arriving. Within the next ten minutes, there's an unmistakable crash of rocks up the mountain, and the avalanche begins. Any last evacuations must be completed and those using magic or tools to protect the village must hurry to wherever they deem most fitting for their part. Sure enough, a massive wave of rock and dirt tosses up dust as a frightening chunk of the mountain gives way above.
Note: Due to the scale of the challenge, this is being treated like an event, and players may tag each other and post top levels instead of just interacting with Matt's top levels.

Looks back at Tau.
If the trees here don't talk, how come Tau was chatting with one?

Date: 2025-03-31 03:54 am (UTC)Two can play that game, Link.
Tau looks flatly at the other, folding his arms.

Date: 2025-03-31 04:23 am (UTC)Tau arches a brow as he continues to look back as well. He's not really sure what he wants, and while he can be patient, it depends on the situation. This, he has no patience for, not when he has things to do.
After another minute or two he huffs, turning abruptly to venture further into the woods.

Date: 2025-03-31 04:25 am (UTC)Well, that guy's weird.
Link's not going to worry about it, though. Instead, he just climbs the tree again - and soon, Tau might see Link paragliding off of it into the distance.

"What a weird guy."
