[atrb=background,http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk264/hybridpenny/Background.png] So we have a weather plot in development. We would like your ideas, your complaints, or just your thoughts in general on anything we have written here. So far we have: Season not decided : A hurricane comes through the valley, melting the snow, creating mud slides, over flowing the lakes and rivers, creating strong wind damages to the trees and the plains, etc. For this plot to effect each land here is a description that I believe could happen (please add to it): Ileai's Lands: The lake will increase in size dramatically, pushing the Ileai out of their den sites. Trees will be getting knocked over by the strong winds, and a good amount of swamps could happen due to the blockage of the trees and the lakes over flowage. This could create a problem for the Ileai because their dens will be damaged and gone, the food will decrease due to the flooding, and a disease can increase because of all the insects that will be seen by the new swamp lands. Imperium's Lands: The snow could melt due to the temperature not decreasing to make the rain turn into snow, which will create a good amount of water running down its rivers. Mud/rock/snow slides could easily happen, trapping any path that leads to safety. Caves could clasp because of the slides, but also could provide safety. Flat ground would be the best choice to stay out of danger. The problems this could cause for the Imperium wolves are the following: Food will decrease due to death of mud/rock/snow slides, 50/50 chance of being isolated or separated from pack or lands, Dens could also have a 50/50 chance of surviving, and being blown off the mountain is also a possibility. Making the mountains the most dangerous place to be during this hurricane. Aquene's Lands: The rain will be heavy where it will be hard to see 30 yards in front of you. The wind will be more damaging, making you lose footing and maybe even throw you back a good 50 yards. The only safety in the land is the rolling hills, but that won't stop it from having a few mud puddles here and there. A few sinking spots are spotted close to the river, as the river slowly develops into a pond, also seen in the rolling hills. A tornado is a high cause of most damage in the open lands, as it throws live prey and few objects that can cause fetal damage to any creature who gets hit by it. The problems that could occur for the Aquene is: Hunting will not be the best thing to do while the storm is around, if near the tornado you have a 40 percent chance of getting hit by something, mud puddles are also something to worry about because they might not be just a normal mud puddle, which those can still be around after everything is clear and dried up making them the most thing to worry about after the storm. Insects with a disease can be seen around the new pond that is created. Making Aquene the most safest place to be during the storm. Summer : Heat Wave isn't a large plot idea compare to the Hurricane. It will just cause the lakes to decrease, food to decrease, and a few crazies. For the effects for each pack/land: Aquene's Lands: The river will become a dry piece of land, as only a few spots here and there have a small puddle of water. With the large plains, animals will be dropping dead, making it easy to hunt but not all to wise to eat. Disease can be uploaded, as the spoiled food will be infested with insects. The grass will become almost like a thicket as it is rough on the paws, the plains becoming more of a desert. The dens will be the only place of shade, but that will only drop the temperature by 2 degrees, or even increase it if there are to many wolves in the one den. With all the illusions this could cause a few wolves to go out of their minds. Aquene dangers during the heat wave are: Starvation, Dehydration, Lost of motivation, & insanity. Making the Aquene most dangerous place to be during the heat wave. Ileai's Lands: The lake will become low, but still have enough water to survive the next few weeks. The population of food will increase, because of the lake having enough water to go around. The shade of the trees block out most of the heat rays. Only damage that could occur in Ileai is the fact that the dry meadows and dead trees can easily cause a fire, damaging the whole land plus part of Aquene. Ileai dangers during the heat wave: Aggressive prey, and a wild fire. Imperium's Lands: The snow will melt creating a river that will end at the bottom of the mountain. Throughout the valleys the river will be a roaring rush, with live fish swimming up stream. Only a few parts of the mountain will be dead, as the rest is filled with live. The only danger seen will be the violent river, that can easily wash you away and let you fall off into a large pool of water with sharp rocks at the bottom. Imperium danger during the heat wave is: The violent river and waterfall, and the strong winds. The temperature only gets to about 80, making Imperium the best place to be during the heat wave. If you have any other ideas on any other natural disaster please share in this thread.

We should have a poll, I mean if no one else as any other ideas. I myself am sort of tied between the two choices, but I don't really have anything useful to add. During the Heat Wave for Imperium, the water will probably erode some rock ledges and make them unstable so the pack might have to find different paths to get around, but that's kinda minor.

[Snow]

Sure thing, i will add that to Imperium.. See i was thinking for the hurricane.. it will either be a snow storm on top of the mountain, or a water storm.... I Guess i will let talen decide that one.

[Talen]

we could have a meeting of all three pack leaders again once the disaster starts. It would happen on different land depending on which disaster. Maybe the three packs could decide to work together to get through it.

[Snow]

True... i think it would be better if they have the meeting, like the whole pack comes with the leader... when the storm is really bad.

[Shay]

So does this mean we're cancelling the Mawla plot altogether? I don't mind either way, ust double checking.
Also, I'm trying to decide on some new characters to make, so if you need anything specific for upcoming plots, just let me know. I want to be more active and get some new wolves in anyways.

[Snow]

Yes, sadly we are cancelling the plot.. I Don't think mawla can become active.. Unless we have someone take over mawla's spot.

[Lanie]

I think if we did the hurricane, then the meeting should be in the plains due to it having the most salvageable land, and for the heat wave then the forests will probably have enough food and water to support the three packs.
Another thing is that maybe the loner lands are also affected, so they flee and find the three packs. The packs might be kind of wary of the loners and vice versa, but the loners don't really have anywhere else to go. I don't know, maybe just a way to get the loners involved.

[Snow]

True, I will try to think of something to write in the loner section for the plots.
Or do you have something you have written up? (that i can just add)

But you also have to think, for the heat wave, it might have enough water and food.. But would there be a forest fire? Or should that come later? ... And tech. how i wrote it, Imperium could easily just stay in the mountains since they are pretty safe. I mean they could get a few rock slides at first. but i believe their valleys are safe

[Lanie]

I could write something up for the loners, but I'd have to do it tomorrow. I'll check up as soon as I can and check, and if no one else has been on and posted something for the loners then I'll get on it.

I think that most of the packs could get by in wake of the disasters though, but for the sake of simplicity we should have all of the wolves together for awhile. 'Together' meaning on the same territory, or at least able to interact without going into the loner lands. It would be great for sparking inter-pack relationships or sub-plots.

A forest fire is possible, but I think it would have a big effect. Unless the fire only affected a small portion of the forest, which seems unlikely, then it would basically leave Ileai a wasteland. They could relocate temporarily, and we could say that things started growing back again in a season or two or something. Or we could just say that it only burned a portion of the forest.

[Snow]

Yeah i would say portion... and to think about it Lythium has the gift to grow plants and stuff, so it could actually grow that day So the whole forest could go down...

[Talen]

that would be a good idea to get lythium in the plot, because I remember her in the thread with koer and kohana and she was all "I know my power will be useful some day..mwaha.."

Tamyran wouldn't like leaving her mountains especially with the effects of the hurricane not being so bad for them. She'd rather keep the pack there. But maybe someone gets hurt on a rock slide and Nevar mentions Squall's healing gift and she agrees to go only because it would help her pack member.

[Snow]

haha you mean the heat wave Mountains are most dangerous in a hurricane i believe.

But yeah that works too! maybe we will do both plots... Just the hurricane can happen next like Winter or fall or whatever... (still need to decide that)
And do the heat wave since it looks like we can get plots going for that.

Like how it starts is that maybe Mongri finds the Aquene pack laying almost motionless near the river. So in fear of her old friend (nevar) She goes and gets Carger or something. And that can get Aquene to be on Ileai lands. Or something in those nature, then we have Hybrid in the plot.
OR
Nevar just goes to Carger in fear of losing his pack to the heat wave, when he notice the water is pretty much gone on his land. and only will need to be there until the first rain fall.

[Lanie]

Alright, so Mongri finds the exhausted Aquene pack and gets Carger's help. Carger rallies the rest of his pack to get the Aquene to safety on Ileai lands.
Maybe Mongri or another wolf goes to find Tamyran and alert her of this, where one of the Imperium members has been injured in one of the rock slides or fell in the river or something. She knows that Squall can heal, so she agrees to come to the forest just long enough for her injured packmate to heal.
And then the leaders of the three packs have a meeting about getting through the heat wave and maybe other disasters coming.

Something optional is that either throughout or after that series of events, the forest fire rages through the forest, so maybe they move into the mountains temporarily? I'm not sure the definitive limits on Lythium's strength, but either she just grows the whole forest back or she can do it in sections.
The only thing with this is that if she had to do it day by day or something, where would Ileai be? Just hanging out in one of the mountain valleys?

Another optional thing is that the loner lands grow literally bone dry, with the little vegetation dying and the river turning into dry mud. The loners in turn trespass onto pack land to survive, and then...that's open to interpretation.

[hybrid]

Just an idea, throwing it out there:

The pack lands are/have always been the lush and beautiful environments, what would happen if these natural disasters turned the loner lands in the lush areas full of prey and safety, and the pack lands into harsh almost inhospitable places. It would turn the whole idea of the Loner lands as being nearly inhabitable, to desired. It could cause problems amongst the packs, having to fight for what little prey they had left, drought inflicting not only physical but mental distress. It would just be strange to see how everyone would cope with having their worlds being turned upside down.

I also like the Idea of Mongri stumbling upon one of the pack leaders, especially if they wound up on what she believes are 'her' lands.

Let me know what you think =]
