next up is a detailed description of how redwake slowly died out from all the fish in the jaws dying out, until a desparate fisherman who left to find food, got infected, and used his fractured memories to navigate the jaws and infect the population since they were too weak to fight back.
Got inspired by KNDY2009’s stuff so here’s my take on how Frostmill would handle the invasion.
Atlanteans might first pop up through the underwater entrance to the ice mines if they can swim there, killing the ice smugglers before moving on to the rest of the populace.
Most people would try and flee, but some like the frost brigands (and Iris, if she happens to be there), would try and fight back. However, they eventually become overwhelmed and have to either flee or risk being infected/killed.
Enizor would try to help out, but since he’s not really a fighter, most he can do is brew potions to help people. However, the influx of magic energy would cause him to awaken his snow magic, using it to try and fight back, but he would eventually end up getting infected during a battle.
Enizor would flee up to the higher levels of the island, allowing him to absorb even more magic as he mutates. His snow magic would go out of control as he turns into a sea-lion type creature that patrols the island, hunting anything he encounters.
you guys are literally the coolest
just the fact that you’re already playing off of each other’s ideas and expanding a barely fleshed out AU so quickly is so astonishing to watch in real time!!
also WWWWWW ENIZOR NOW HE’LL NEVER DIEEEE
thanks! always wanted to do a scenario like this
i am disappointed on how fast and short i was, but i am proud of what i made… hope you guys enjoy it (check new posts)
anyways its very late and everyone in the house is asleep, i will see yall tomorrow
And while we’re here, let’s have a look at how Palo Town fell during the invasion.
Palo town might get a bit of a warning beforehand as places like the Stepstones would be hit first, so an evacuation might be set up by the Grand Navy. However, the Atlanteans arrive much quicker than expected, leading to chaos as the people try to escape on the Grand Navy ships.
While some are able to flee, many fall and are either killed or mutated, now stalking the once prosperous town. Mayor Tilly unfournately fell during the invasion, becoming a cuttlefish-like creature capable not only of camouflage, but also of mimicking people’s voices, using it while hunting at sea to catch unsuspecting sailors off guard.
Commodore Kai aided in the evacuation and was able to escape, but was unknowingly infected during a clash, leading to him steadily mutating as he infects the rest of the crew as their ship drifts aimlessly towards Whitesummit…
Everything is so connected together, like a horrific line of dominos. I really need to take some notes from you guys in writing in continuity, cause if you haven’t noticed my plots have been all over the place
The Fall of Redwake and The Jaws.
at first, the citizens of Redwake thought they’d be safe from the invasion, surely the Atlanteans couldnt navigate the Jaws, not to mention Pelion Rift would block half of the Dark Sea they could come from.
when their fish began dying out they realized they were wrong.
heavy fighting from Shura’s attempts to break out of the Jaws, only to end up infected himself, and would pollute the waters whilst fighting other Atlanteans for food would cause the waters to be too acidic for fish to survive.
the Spire Bandits had also made an attempt to escape, though their puny rowboats couldnt stand against the acid water, and they were trapped on the island. eventually, an atlantean sailboat crashed onto the island, and the Spire Bandits were either killed off or infected.
when Redwakers came to the Silent Ire in hopes of harvesting apples from the trees, they found Atlantean Shura fighting Atlanteans for food and most of the force there died.
when Redwakers came to the Spire Bandits camp in similar hopes, the first ship that landed on the island was swarmed, and the other Redwakers fled upon seeing this.
their food stores lasted them a while, and rarely any Atlantean reached Redwake, with any that did simply falling into the acid water and melting after it crashed into it.
however, when food went low, fights broke out. people desparate for even a scrap of food began to eat whatever they could find, no matter how rotten or old was, it could’ve been the worst food in the world, and they wouldve still ate it.
eventually, even the most rotten and disgusting food ran out.
people resorted to eating the dead. what other choice did they have at that point? sons ate fathers, fathers ate sons. some, at the brink of insanity and starvation, even killed others to eat.
that period wouldnt last long, as a fisherman named Thorbjorn would set out in a desparate attempt to find fish. in a longboat named the Shark’s Nemeisis, he would set out alone and managed to exit the Jaws from the west.
he would soon catch numerous amounts of fish and was elated. however, he was soon bit by one of the fish he caught. thinking nothing of it, he returned to the Jaws, slowly and unknowingly turning into an Atlantean. he couldnt tell he was losing his mind at that point, people having lost their minds had become the norm.
but as the beast had finally made it into Redwake in the dead of night, there was no humanity left in Thorbjorn.
he would sweep the town, rapidly infecting the weakened populus, with the only people able to fight being the guards of shark hall, Lord Orgumleidi and Chief Alfarin, who would put up a valiant last stand, but were overran by the atlantean horde, and soon would become one of them.
all mutants from Redwake have been said to have mutated to become Redwake’s nemesis, the shark, and all of the Redwake mutants have been observed to have a nigh insatiable hunger, devouring all prey that come their way. they also inherited the blood smelling abilites of sharks, being able to smell the scent of blood from miles away.
Redwake was soon abandoned by the mutants after every soul in it was infected, all left upon ships to satiate their hunger. wherever blood is spilt, the ships of Redwake will arrive, and carrying the ever-hungering souls that used to inhabit it.
Keep letting her cook you should make your own posts on this cuz this is straight fire
HOLY SHIT
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
guys I mightve went too hard with these one
nonsense this is peak
Nah, its in the perfect point between unnecessary gore and too light
I’d imagine his mutated form might kinda look something like a manta ray mixed with a pufferfish that constantly drips acid from its spines
made a silly little no swimming sign for the AU lol, i can imagine triangles scratched into several different surfaces to warn survivors of Atlanteans nearby
That’s so cool, we can have like a whole system of symbols that survivors can use to indicate whether an area is safe or not or if it has resources worth extracting
I think Poseidon’s presence will protect Mount Orthys from the Atlanteans
Everybody loves Ruby Roger
He must survive
He is that one side character that is somehow alive after godknowswhat he’s been through
My take on Othrys,
Ravenna would obviously be among the first to fall, many citizens fled into Mt Caesar’s many cave complexes and mines. The rest of the people who didn’t die would either trek south, seeking refuge at Silverhold and the rest would make the painful journey north to Othrys.
Those who decided to go to Othrys, guided by a handful of old and experienced sailors, were attempting to make their way to the Titan Caverns entrance. Their temporary hope for an impenetrable safe haven would be short lived as Atlantean ships pouring in from the North slowly started blockading Othrys, sensing the many survivors who tried to go there.
Most of the people guiding groups of Ravenna refugees to Othrys would soon die in their unprepared ships. Atlantean Frigates and Man o’ wars would shred anyone coming in from either Sameria or Ravenna.
Of course, before the Atlanteans made it, some people managed to enter the Titan Caverns but many would die in the large and horrific caverns, dying like rats in the dark. Those who survived would attempt to make a colony on top of Othrys, isolated from the world and their fate unknown. (for now!!!)
I wonder what the Othrys survivors are going to be up to, I can definitely see them having an advantage due to their elevation. That added to the mystical environment of the mountain aiding them, they could really have a good shot at survival
