Event // June 2013
That's right, it's time for El Sera's first event!
Setup
While the summer temperatures have been mild thus far, El Sera is going to hit record lows for the summer come Monday evening. Once the sun sets at about 8:30PM temperatures will abruptly drop, falling from the high 80's to the high 60's in less than a hour. As the night wears on the temperatures drop further and further, finally falling to an uncomfortably chilly 20°F (-7°C) at around midnight.
As the night gets colder, the normal citizens of El Sera start to get sleepy. Very sleepy. Falling asleep waiting in line at the grocery store sleepy. Though only one or two at first, half the town will be in dreamland by 10 o'clock, and nearly the entire city will be under by midnight. Unless, of course, someone does something to stop it.
Enemies
This isn't a normal cold snap, not at all. A pack of ice pixies, about two dozen strong, are the culprits. Once night falls they can be found fluttering about the city, using their magic to drop temperatures around the city. They tend to gather around bodies of water both small and large but as the night gets colder they'll venture towards the sleepy citizens of El Sera and try to freeze them solid as well.
All of the magical boys and men will be able to feel the stirrings of magic in the air, even the untransformed ones. Those that have never transformed before will feel compelled to get outside and do exactly that. The magical energy of the pixies will be easy enough to hone in on once they are, though those with powers related to ice, fire, or sensing magic will have an easier time pinpointing their location.
The pixies congregate in groups of three or four but aren't terribly difficult to deal with. They're extremely vulnerable to heat and fire and will run at the first sight of either, even if it's just a thermos of coffee. In the face of those without fire magic they're very reckless and arrogant, but getting in a good solid strike on one of them is enough to make them turn tail and flee, disrupting their magic in the process.
Rewards
While they can be chased off without being killed, melting a large enough chunk of one or hitting one hard enough to shatter it is worth the effort! When killed, each pixies will drop a small ice-blue marble. Though inconspicuous at first glance, they thrum with magical energy when picked up. A pixie marble can be kept indefinitely and used later on to repair a small amount of damage done to whoever holds it. They can heal cuts but work best on burns, and are at their most effective when it's below freezing.
The post for the event will go up on Monday morning, though ICly it will occur Monday evening.
