Notes

• If you attempt to adventure here with less than 3 levels of Hot Resistance, you get this message:

  You can't even get close to that thing dressed the way you are. Get yourself some fireproofing!

• If you attempt to adventure here while falling-down drunk, you get this message:

  You're too drunk to do something so ill-advised and dangerous.

• If you attempt to adventure here with no remaining adventures, you get this message:

  You haven't got time to fight fire.

• 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 13, 2012, about a week after adventurers began noticing some strange occurences in Cobb's Knob. Every so often, one of the following messagers were 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 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 pick up and moved her The Cake-Shaped Arena to the Right Side of the Tracks.
