Brushfires

This page is about the Brushfires event in 2012. For the Brushfires location, see Brushfires (location).

A series of Brushfires were mysteriously found in The Nearby Plains. The fire-based monsters encountered here were unusually resistant to everything but Cold Damage. The exact cause of the fires is still unknown.

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 have been steadily increasing every day, despite the best efforts of the FDKOL and Adventurers.
• The way commendations were awarded for fighting brushfires changed on the second day of fire-fighting. The initial method is still somewhat unknown, all that was known is that there was a cap of 10 and possibly some sort of logarithmic scaling. On day 2, the formula was changed so that the number of commendations awarded was floor(log(damage done))+1, making commendations easier to achieve at low levels.
• 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 Smouldering Fortress appeared in its place.
