Chapter 343 Chapter 343 - Notice of the Fourth Event
"Come sit, Gewari. You're the last person to arrive." - Ian
Nodding towards me, Gewari pulls a chair towards her as she sits in between Stellar and Noah. It wasn't just these 3 here, I called Nina, Howard, and Yor to the Krepost for a meeting. The objective of the meeting is to understand the player's movements, goals, and overall opinion of Everbloom. Nina suggested this meeting yesterday since most of the important figures of HavenFall will be split during the day when players arrive.
"Alright, time for a report. Where do we even start? Noah? Stellar?" - Ian
"I'll start since I was with the followers of Ariel the whole day. Looking at how they are at the moment, it seems like most of them are just exploring the land, with some exceptional individuals who are trying to help either with eliminating monsters or with the village. From a rough guess, it seems that only a few thousand followers have appeared, with the majority venturing to HavenFall, rather than the Krepost, but Stellar can reaffirm this fact.
Robin had to stop a few troublemakers here and there, throughout the day, as well as, manage lines and overall space, since this was an unprecedented amount of people. She suggested that there needs to be an increase of Watchers, which I quickly reassigned to a team of goblins and hobgoblins. This helped with defusing situations before they happened, however, there is still the underlying factor of a lack of Watchers.
Hmm… Other than that, there are a few individuals for whom I recommended a course of action as per your instructions. I told them to seek out monsters in the area instead of doing the quests we put up, and to help them I told them to form a team. From what I could see, they understood the underlying meaning of my words quickly and sort out a team ranging between 3 and 5 people. Right before I left to come here, I saw a few talking to Lime and Maria. Stellar do you want to add to this?" - Noah
"Of course, Noah. I'll talk about the ones who were within the vicinity of Everbloom, while Gewari will talk about the ones who tried to traverse to HavenFall and the Krepost. If you are looking for a more accurate number of followers that arrived at Everbloom, then it is closer to 2381 followers. However, I found it strange because the moment it started to crowd, individuals started to leave Everbloom.
The largest amount of people leaving was during the speech that was given by Noah. A lot of the Shadows saw them moving from Everbloom all around, without regard for their safety. Funnily enough, they were smart enough to make basic weapons out of sticks and stones, with some of them even teaming up with each other along the way. I told the Shadows to keep an eye on their movements, and it seems like they were traveling in a random direction." - Stellar
"Sounds like they might either just be very overzealous players or spies from the other guilds. " - Nina
"Even if there are spies, we shouldn't worry too much about that. Looking at where they are, we shouldn't be influenced that greatly by them until we branch out more. Was there anything else to mention?" - Ian
"Nothing from my end. It has only been 6 hours, I'm sure there will be more information within the next day." - Stellar
"Same here. Don't worry, I'll get a goblin scout to notify you the moment something comes up." - Noah
Looking around the room after confirming Stellar's and Noah's actions, I see Howard with his hand slightly raised.
"Ian, something did happen over at HavenFall." - Howard
"Something bad…? Or good?" - Ian
"Oh, it is something good, don't worry. Let me bring it in." - Howard
Returning quickly, after leaving the room, Howard comes in holding onto a small silver haired wolf cub. Standing up in excitement, I accidentally knock the chair was I sitting on to the ground.
"IS THAT-!" - Ian
"Yes it is. The first Silver Moon Wolf from the Golden Wolf Den." - Howard
"Aww~ It's so cute." - Nina
"It has one shiny coat and a look of nobility." - Yor
"This… This… This little thing hasn't appeared for all this time. Howard, how did it appear?" - Ian
"From what I recall, Lucina was tending to the newborn cubs in the den, when the ray of moonlight envelopes the whole cave blinding her. After the light fades, resting its head in its front paws was this little fella. Why don't you give it a hold? Just be careful with its head, it's sleeping right now." - Howard
Howard passes the Silver Moon Wolf to me, and a few notifications appear at the same time.
[Congratulaions for obtaining a Variant. ]
[Variant of the Golden Wolf, the Silver Moon Wolf will appear more frequently from your Golden Wolf Den.]
[The currently limit of 1 Golden Wolf / 5 Days has been changed to 3 Golden Wolves / 5 days, with a 33% chance of a Silver Moon Wolf appearing.]
"Does it have a name yet, Howard?" - Ian
"I believe Lucina has named it already. Plata, is its name. I believe it is a female wolf? But I'm not too sure. You will have to ask someone else about that." - Howard
"Look no further, Howard. I can confirm Plata is a female." - Yor
"Thank you, Yor. Hahaha!" - Howard

Increasing the stats of the individual, by 0% (at New Moon) and 100% (at Full Moon). Inbetween these two phases the individual will gain partial stats, 25%, 50%, and 75%, depending on the Moon.

In between the individual will have a 10%, 20%, and 30% chance of having the protection of the Moon.
"Amazing… Once Plata is of age, she will become one of the leading figures of the Silver Moon Wolves, just like how Luna is for the Golden Wolves. Howard, tell Lucina to find someone who will care for Plata, during the night. I believe it would be good for her to be exposed to the moon as much as possible." - Ian
"Understood." - Howard
"How about over at the Krepost? Anything happen, Yor?" - Ian
"Nothing to make note of at the moment. We still haven't found where Celine and Kingston have gone, but then again we haven't sent too many scouts off too far from the Krepost in case of an emergency. Raising the monsters has been good as well, with their population increasing bit by bit ever since that unfortunate accident with the Queen of Spiders. However, they are still young and are not fit for battle." - Yor
"That's fine. We don't need them to be combatants at the moment. Focus on keeping them healthy and developing a sense of loyalty to the Krepost before anything." - Ian
"Understood." - Yor
After Yor's report, it seemed like there wasn't anything else to discuss, meaning that the meeting was over. Slowly I ask everyone to go back to their respective stations but as they were leaving, a singular notification appeared in front of Nina and me.
