Ice Tower MMO Land

An Ice Tower in MMO Land, an unsurprisingly it is incredibly cold as you near it. You will need gear. There are some buried supplies and shelter close to it at "blah" curtesy of Glenn, Dana, and Aeolous. The tower is made of ice, will regenerate. Little Ice elementals hover around out side. Inside are ice armored warrior with ice spikes. Up winding stairs an other level with warriors, up another level found Goblin found frozen touching an Ice Orb next to a backpack full of weed - Doc Fulton, Alex KInley, Dana, Glenn. Also chest with 3 locks that need to be picked in a certain order. Inside were non-magical blue gems. and Ice Torcs.

- rumored to have shaman (under a sleeping curse by an evil dragon) that makes magic healing smoke

## Ice Orb

doing it's thing, freezes what touches it. Has a link with the wearers of the Ice Trocs and has the power to suggest repayment for the power of the torcs. May explode the head of the wearer if they refuse.

3/21/2019 - Glenn James - The Ice Torcs from the Ice Tower - I see no reason to assume that the orb is omnipotent.

## Ice Torcs

seem to be able to multiply . necklaces that become invisible. can cover the face of wearer making them unrecognizable. gives a huge resistance to cold. gives ice armor, and ice spike abilities. cannot be removed or it will explode the head of wearer probably. gives a physic link to the wearers. Glenn and Dana briefly wore ones, didn't feel the presence of the Ice Orb. Could take them off in the presence of the Ghostwheel, walked the pattern with them off, but on their person, and afterwards the connection to them was removed.

## Torcies

The younger generations of Kinleyville (normies) that mature with at the accelerated rate of MMO Land who have put on the ice torcs and used the abilites to demand a change in the government to be more democratic. were given torcs by adventurers, not Glenn or Dana

## Notes

3/20/2019 - Aeolous - The Ice Torcs from the Ice Tower - I had a look at them with my magic-seeing glasses (seriously – everyone needs a pair of these) and found out some interesting things, particularly one bit… I figured you may want to know about this before deciding to put one of them on. I decided against it until more information can be gleaned.

The torc can become invisible at will.

At will, you can encase yourself in magical ice armour. It works the same way as other regular magic armour except it is very weak against fire, offering no protection whatsoever against it and instead increasing the amount of damage you may take. Against cold effects, the magical armour offers additional defence against being damaged by it on top of the regular magical defences.

Small spell tree available: make ice spikes and then shoot ice spikes. I can only assume what those do.

Normal cold (even Canada, etc) will not bother someone wearing the torc whether it is armouring them or not. Heat and warm weather continue to suck, however. Note, this does NOTHING to help your moving speed and such.

Allows instant, silent communication with anyone else wearing a torc. (Can be in different zones).

Once torc is on, it's fucking on. Can't be removed by normal means.

Magic - so effects in non-magic zones variable.

And last but not least…
Sometimes the thing powering these may demand you do something - if you don't (or don't do it fast enough), it will cause the torc to explode which may cause your head to come off.

3/23/2019 - Aeolous - Moving the Ice Torcs - Some of the people in Kinleyville wanted some ice torcs, so we gave them around 15 (because for some reason they multiplied? What). Later when we came back, there were more people there going through them trying to take some and we told them no, you need to pay. They refused and we just told them to fuck off essentially. Anyway – it appears they are no longer showing the same level of respect that they used to. We may need to either secure the house a bit more or stop storing sensitive items like that in it. I suggest taking them to a magic null zone such as Alien Postapocalypse and storing them there until we figure out what to do with them. Another thing that crossed my mind is that if too many people get their hands on them, this could turn into a giant problem as the entity who "controls" the torcs will essentially have control over the population unless they want their heads to get blown off. I can easily see this spiralling out of control. It only occurred to me after we gave them a few. So, again, I highly suggest we move them someplace else and potentially figure out a way of getting them off without doing harm.

3/23/2019 - Joshua MacKay - Precious Gems from the Ice Tower - Dana, Glenn, Alex & Doc . I've relocated the gems from our house in MMOland to the Australian Embassy. We discovered people going into the building in MMOland and looking through our stuff. Also noticed that one of the gems has gone missing (there are now 9).
Please note at time of writing the twins are holidaying in MMOland so the guards at the Embassy will not let anyone besides me access the safe and even that is a struggle due to my new body.
I can relocate the gems or hand them to someone else if you wish.

4/1/2019 - Aeolous - Precious Gems from the Ice Tower- I inspected them. They are not magical in any way.

4/1/2019 - Aeolous - Things which need doing - About 30 or so people who possess the ice torcs in Kinleyville attacked the city. The guards managed to drive them off, but it's only a matter of time before they are back. The rest of the torcs which were in our house have been buried away in Alien Postapocalypse where magic is null, however the torcs that are still out in MMO Land may continue to replicate. Perhaps destroying the sphere in the Ice Tower that powers them will cause all this to stop. The identities of the people carrying out these attacks is unknown due to the ice armour covering their faces, but we believe them to be late generation Kinleyville people. We believe the root cause of all of this is the ever-growing distaste between the DORAs and normies (DORAs live for ever, normies do not, etc). The people with the ice torcs wish to overthrow the current government and take their place. Lastly, when one of the ice torc wearers was killed, they did not die. They simply disappeared and we believe that perhaps they possess some sort of resurrection capability. In any event, dealing with the ice torcs themselves and then the inner conflict in Kinleyville is important if we want things to remain stable.

4/9/2019 - Dana Zuul - Moving the Ice Torcs - The ice tower is still standing. Its immediate threat seemed to be that it was controlling "normies" wearing the torcs into attacking Kinelyville. Joshua, Glenn, and I check in with Darius there who is saying how the class conflict has increased a lot and that the torcs don't seem to be controlling them, but rather giving them enough power to have hope in a social upheaval attempt. Buildings are getting burned, but the torc wearers have their faces obscured with ice at will and then melt back into the crowd. They also nailed a list of demands to the door which Darius wasn't keen on, because it called for baby steps into democracy that where I come from would have already been given. We advised that he should meet the demands and he agreed along with the idea of original settlers moving out for a long while. He wants to go to a different realm (not just down the road, Burlyton gets visited by MMO a lot) and live in safety and comfort (no dino jungles or Canada) and keep the group together (goblins and elves must be accepted). So we were like, ugh don't know where that would be, yet, but get out of there, please. Ice tower not visited itself, mostly because threat seemed to be misunderstood for now, and frankly we didn't have the skills to try nuking or like the risks for a sneak. I'm also a big fan of not just killing the "torcies?" especially since it's so insidious we'd just end up witch hunting for eternity because, oh yeah, they don't really die anyway. So we left it as Kinleyville being now governed by ice torc powered normies who aren't a current threat, but do want respect.
