Notes

  • If there is a location that conflicts with a fire, the location will take priority if the conditions for accessing it are met.

History

  • Appeared on June 14, 2012, about a week after adventurers began noticing some strange occurrences in Cobb's Knob. Every so often, one of the following messages was observed:
    • "In the distance, you hear a loud whoosh, followed by the screams of several Knob Goblins."
    • "You catch a whiff of something burning. Which is normal for the Knob, I guess. But you also catch a whiff of something even more burning than usual."
    • "You look at the ground near your feet and see a massive scorch mark -- judging from the heat still rising from it, it's pretty fresh."
  • The fires steadily increased every day, despite the best efforts of the FDKOL and Adventurers.
  • On the second day of the event, the rate at which FDKOL commendations were earned from brushfires was changed.
  • On the third day of firefighting, the FDKOL Tent was set up.
  • On the fifth day of the event, A Super-Intense Mega-Grassfire appeared, and some of the brushfires burned out. To escape the fire Susie picked up and moved her The Cake-Shaped Arena to the Right Side of the Tracks.
  • On the seventh day of the event (June 20, 2012), the fires continued to evolve into Fierce Flying Flames and the brushfires burned out while the Super-Intense Mega-Grassfire multiplied.
  • On the tenth day of the event (June 23, 2012), the Fierce Flying Flames disappeared and A Smoldering Fortress appeared in its place.
  • On the sixteenth day, Lord Flameface appeared in his throne room, and the backbreaking labor of fighting these fires prompted a Kingdom-wide realization that Adventurers have backs.
