Mini Event: A Little Piece of Home
Hello Bastionites!
We mentioned a little while ago that Bastion was hitting about it's mid way point for the over-arcing plot of the game, and it is with that in mind that we are going to break away from the heavy things recently revealed as well as the hunt for Cores to bring you a sort of mini-event shortly following the current expedition and Core retrieval.
Most of you will probably recall, to some extent, that when your character arrived they were on a portion of land connected to the Skyway that had portions of their previous world scattered around them. It was rarely ever anything much, but enough to alert the character that had landed that something had obviously gone wrong with their world, whatever that "something wrong" may have been. The only exception, of course, being the Vatheon transplants who arrived in the Scrap Yard within the transports from the experimental under water city that were supposed to be taking them to the main land.
Since then, it's merely been hinted that other portions of the worlds everyone hails from exist somewhere out there on the Skyway (again the exception being the one time Night and Rin stumbled across remnants of True Cross early last year) that have simply not been discovered. Like Caleondia and the Terminals, which were destroyed from below and launched in to the sky where they remain as shattered parts today, the worlds belonging to the other survivors were equally shattered and dragged in to the sky that was once above Caelondia, hovering out there somewhere in the Skyway waiting to be discovered.
But power has been needed to reach these areas, as most of them were shot even further out than the pieces of the homes of the Ura and Cael and the Bastion simply didn't have the energy to get people out that far.
But with the arrival of this next Core, that power has finally been given to the Bastion.
And this is where you come in.
The next few weeks will be devoted to finding these parts of other worlds, but it's up to you to decide what locations will be found. The locations discovered will be in various states of broken and ruin, and most places will not be fully in tact. Things like castles and large buildings and areas will merely be pieces of their former glory, and bigger areas will be parred down to much smaller seconds and remnants.
But that said, these things will not be merely devoted to breaking the hearts of your PCs via ruin and tragedy. This will also be a chance to recover items in these areas free of shard charge. Whatever they can grab, carry and reasonably return to the Bastion with (that isn't ridiculously huge or powered to the point where it's game-breaking) will be theirs without the need to spend shards to gain.
However. These things will only be available during this mini event. Strangely enough, should anyone decide to return to these locations after their logs have been posted and done with, it will be as if the places were mysteriously raided of items... Hm. How strange. :|a
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.
ACT NOW, AND YOU WILL HAVE AN ADDITIONAL BONUS TO YOUR WORLD'S LOCATION.
Namely, that of other creatures. Yes, if your world has creatures of any sort, be them monster or demon or animal you will be allowed to contribute them to your world's section and have them arrive on the scene to wreak havoc or simply be A Thing that happened to be there. Of course there will be limitations as with the items recoverable:
*Nothing world breaking, ridiculously over powered or something that could conceivably smash the Skyway to bits
*Things like Koal Tar from Ao no Exorcist or Shadow Heartless from Kingdom Hearts, which are common, weak, and often come in mobs can have more than one appearance, but will be limited to three or four within the encounter. No Thousand Heartless Battles here ok.
*To take weight off the shoulders of the mods, none of these creatures will be NPC'd by us. It will be up to you to get them involved (or not) as you see fit.
*If you decide that you'd rather not have a creature from your PC's world arrive, common Skyway monsters can be encountered or not encountered at your discretion.
And some final things to note!
For our Bastion Cast, since this IS their world, they will be restricted to areas that have yet to be discovered, including the Proving Grounds.
No plot tokens will be found in these areas, not even the Bastion related ones. This is all about YOU and YOUR PCs. It's a break from the current plot and a chance to focus on the lives our survivors had before this place.
Also, only one location and one creature PER CHARACTER! All comments will be screened, and the locations will go up at random in logs. If some one should choose the same location/same creature (multiple cast members and whatnot) they will be combined in to one.
So to the comments with you all! Go forth and give us your locations!
