Sir Lawrence Missing, Marketplace In Danger!

[Veheer]

Hello citizens, I bring ill tidings on what was to be a glorious day of merriment. Sir Lawrence is missing, and our marketplace has been beset by the spawns of Shavarath. Reports of some devils in the marketplace, as well as my study of the infernal graffiti which appeared in the marketplace, indicate that the threat is upon us. The situation looks dire. The devils are quite displeased that we sent their General back to Shavarath. Additional research needs to be done to further decipher the graffiti, and see their true intention.

All able bodied men and women are asked to assist the city guard in hunting down and killing any Shavarath devils they encounter. To aid in this effort, the magical wards on the marketplace have been weakened to permit spell casting citizens the needed support to vanquish these foes. Those wishing to avoid the dangers of the Marketplace may seek out a member of the Twelve, Zoth Naylte. He will usher citizens to other wards of the city safely by way of teleport. Citizens should not travel alone as they navigate the marketplace streets, for the dangers of these Shavarath devils is not to be under estimated. We advise any citizens with less worldly experience in combat to seek out the protection of more experienced adventurers if they attempt to enter the marketplace. Be safe, and be vigilant, I will bring more information when I can.

Ha, if it hadn't been for the brave members of The Mature Adventures Club on Khyber, the portal might have gone unoticed and who knows what havoc those devils would have done?

Sir Lawrence maybe missing, or in leauge with the monsters of Shavarath!

There will be blood in the streets of Stormreach these days!

[Tobiase]

Several creatures were swiftly defeated on Sarlona not ten minutes ago. We are doing our part.

[Brianius]

DOOOOM! I am watching this invasion now. The resident sorceress is combating these devils now.

Um, nothing on Thelanis as of yet. I think you've been blessing the forest a bit too much lately...

[Sertrynus]

ok ok, hands up who believed that the situation was well in hand

Sir Lawrence is missing and presumed scared

[PCNONSENSE]

We have 40 lvl 16's and get 3 devils. Comon id ratrher be slaughtered.

This is just the beginning young warrior! We must prepare for a bigger strike tomorrow.

[Ghoste]

How do I enlist with the devils?

[Garth_of_Sarlona]

Ah this is why he had no comment to the story leaked earlier!

Oh it happened on thelanis..you missed it...portal opened...orthons and devils came out after about 10 mins..we killed them..portal dissapeared

[Veheer]

Well of course! These measly devils are but fodder... a distraction from their true intentions. Do not let them lull you into a false sense of security. If you are not for the protection of Stormreach, you are against it!

Be vigilant, be prepared, and we will put an end to the meddling of Shavarath!

[Kisaragi]

You know, I've been around a long time. Every time one of city big wigs say 'Invasion' it ends up being smaller then a scouting party. I have a craving for blood. If it's not the devils, then I'll have no choice but to start spawning undead to go after humans.

You shouldn't fear the devils, you should fear the Drow...

[Ghoste]

If you are not for the protection of Stormreach, you are against it!

Precisely! And where exactly do we find this sign up sheet for being "against it"?

[Big-Dex]

Any predictions on how massive this invasion is going to be?

[ArkoHighStar]

Oh it happened on thelanis..you missed it...portal opened...orthons and devils came out after about 10 mins..we killed them..portal dissapeared

you blinked and you missed it on argo, they lasted about 10 seconds as 50 lvl 16's basically cut them down. Very frustating as we had 6 marketplaces going, and you had to be at the right place at the right time otherwise you missed the 10 seconds of combat

[Kisaragi]

Given the size of the previous ones, six trolls and a kitchen sink. There's never been massive invasions. Not that they'd last all that long even if there were. Plus, given the technology they have, they can't spawn hundreds without crashing the server. So probably no more then forty in the marketplace at max.

You're only going to get to kill em if you're unbelievably lucky.

[Sertrynus]

so far the event seems like the Beta World Changing event

[Veheer]

Precisely! And where exactly do we find this sign up sheet for being "against it"?

If you are "against" the protection of our city, and we meet face to face, I will see that you are banished beyond the city walls.
