Act One: Sudoshard
This is where our heroes will begin their adventure. Expect many rapid changes of location and situation, so we can keep this thing interesting.
Location: Sudoshard is a large township nestling against the southernmost point of Wall Victus, the first wall of Equestria.
Trade: Its general export is forest wood, select minerals from mines and farm produce. The import is usually manufactured materials for the outer wall, from factories behind Wall Everfree: the second wall of Equestria.
Population: Estimated 170,000 living in Sudoshard and outside of the town walls, in the surrounding countryside.
Current Time: It is just after midday.
Weather: The sky is clear but for a few chance clouds, but the atmosphere is muggy and full of heat. A storm is coming.
Setting: Sudoshard. The southern streets that are closer to the wall is a likely area to be located.
Scenario: The source of the sound and the light earthquake that followed only just became evident when the ponies turned their gaze upward. For a brief second all that everyone could see was what appeared to be a colossal red hoof. It rested on the wall, unmoving and mysterious. From behind Wall Victus, clouds of white steam pumped into the sky. All was quiet, and then the head appeared, it burst through the steam and examined with critical eyes those who watched below. A few shocked gasps and shrieks emanated throughout the city, but most were frozen in their own world of terror. A few loosed words of denial as they gaped at the Titan beyond the wall. Intelligent eyes gazed at the frightened mass of flesh below. What a pathetic race, but so delicious. Slowly, it lifted one front hoof off the ground and swung it back deliberatively. The people in the town felt the ground shake, wondering what was happening, some already having worked it out started to walk backwards at a fast trot. The Colossal Titan swung its giant foot forward... CRASH! A massive cloud of dust rippled out from the wall and heavy boulders rained down upon the houses, the streets, the ponies, crushing whatever they landed on. Through the dust, light shone. The wall had been breached.
You are among the other ponies in the crowd. You watch the Colossal Titan make the hole in Wall Victus. Now what do you do? Do you go home and check on your family? Do you stay to help a fellow pony injured by the falling rubble? Do you find a friend?
The end goal for this scenario is for all players to reach the evacuation point at the eastern docks. However you do it is fine by me, just remember to interact!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Confusion and panic had spread out across the old town of Sudoshard, the part of town that was closest to the wall. A gaping hole had appeared in Wall Victus, through which there emerged titans. One awestruck blue Pegasus brushed a few auburn locks out of her face and froze in shock, staring at the towering monsters as her mind went straight into overdrive. Titans, as it turned out, were terrifying to behold; giant creatures in the shape of an equine being, but completely devoid of any bodily hair. The blue Pegasus shivered inadvertently as she caught a glimpse of one's face. It had lank brown hair and a rapacious grin that reached seemingly across all of its face. Two long rows of innumerable teeth drank in the light of the afternoon sun, and then they parted to release a dull roar. As the Pegasus watched on in horror, the grinning titan lifted a screaming unicorn high into the air, and for a moment paused to watch the terrified pony struggle in its hands.
The blue Pegasus' eyes widened. Unable to look away, she watched the grinning titan place the Unicorn's tiny neck delicately between its teeth, and then bite down. A dark fountain of blood painted the grinning Titan's features; it multiplied the fear that the Pegasus already felt. "Fleetfire! Come on, we have to get out of here!"
The Pegasus looked away at the sound of the name being called, for it belonged to her. "Fleetfire, we have to go."
The desperately high sounding voice came from a small black Pegasus colt. He stared at her with dark eyes full of fear. Fleetfire could tell by the strain on his face that he was on the verge of despair, so she lifted him onto her back and galloped down a shadowy alley. A voice, shaky and thick with tears emanated from behind her "This should not be happening. Why? Why is this happening? Is this... is this a dream? Pl- please let this be a dream!"
Fleetfire snarled in anger, "Crin, please. Give it a rest already!"
The Pegasus called Crin went silent, except for the sound of panicked breathing. Fleetfire felt cruel, but she had a distinct feeling that if she and her younger brother Crinkles were to survive through this... this madness: she had to be strong. She kept her speed as the sound of screaming and the throb of heavy hoof-falls coalesced around them. "Listen, Crin. We have to make it to the Eastern Docks, but first, we should go and find mother, alright?"
A choked sob was all she received in reply, so with a decisive nod of her head, Fleetfire dug in her hooves and doubled her pace. The first place she knew to check would be the allotments, as that was where she usually found mother in the afternoon. The alley opened out onto a cobbled street strewn with rubble and bodies. To the left side of the road, a ten metre class titan trotted lazily towards them. They were gone before it noticed, down another dark alley opposite the previous one.
Smoke and dust tainted the sky above, turning the town around them into a large monotonous graveyard, given contrast by the blood pooling in gutters and dripping down walls. Fleetfire exited the alleyway with explosive force, barrelling leftward down a small road devoid of titans. Just above the roofs of the three-storey houses, Fleetfire could see the heads of a few lofty twenty metre class titans. In her distraction, she almost tripped over something. When she glanced around to see what it was, Fleetfire immediately regretted doing so. Half of what remained of a male Unicorn lay dead on the ground, a gory mess of what looked like his innards had been strewn across the street. His face was a picture of pain and fear in death. Fleetfire noted this mentally as, with a sick feeling in her stomach, she turned away and galloped even faster than before. On her back, Crinkles whimpered forlornly. "Crin! We're gonna get through this," Fleetfire shouted, wishing she had just spoken. "Just hold in there, you hear me?"
Just ahead, on an opposite street corner, was the entrance to the allotments. Rectangular plots of land bought out by townsfolk all over Sudoshard. Most of the ponies grew tomatoes, pumpkins or cress, but not their mother. She grew a vast array of beautiful flowers. Often, she would bring a bunch home and leave the place smelling aromatic. Heavy clouds had appeared above their heads, darkening the atmosphere appropriately. As they entered the allotments through a rusted steel gate, Fleetfire began to plead fearfully to nobody in particular. "Please. Let mother be okay. Let her... let her be fine. Please!"
