Plot So Far...


Ice Age - Survival After Impact

Impact.

That's what the survivors called the event that lead to the death of billions across the planet.

The year is 2020, and the world we knew no longer exists. It was a freak asteroid impact that sealed humanity's fate. Astronomers had been studying the skies for decades, looking for asteroids on the scale that could wipe out life, but they missed one. Then again, considering how little of space we actually know, maybe it shouldn't be a surprise. Either way, they missed it until it was too late, on a trajectory course with Earth that left little time for anything but trying to escape the impact zone. When it did, it triggered seismic activity that led to numerous repercussions.

Like the ash that fell from the sky when Yellowstone erupted.

Like the sun being blotted from the sky for a year.

Like vegetation all over the world dying off as their main source of food and energy was no longer around.

Like animals dying in droves as the world suddenly went from plentiful to meager.

Like people across the globe suddenly finding themselves scrambling for the basic necessities.

Like governments trying and failing to control a panicking populace as shortages became commonplace.

Like people dying as starvation set in and the once-bountiful agriculture we became so dependent on suddenly couldn't keep up with demand.

This... This is the world now. We are a dying species, humanity, since literally we cannot support the population we used to have. I'm not sure of the current state of the world, as technology collapsed when the governments fell. Communication is virtually non-existent in this time. All I know is that to survive, we need to get to one of the only places that is still accepting refugees. The shelter known as Haven. From what I heard when the last bit of communication fell, it was located in the mountains, and was one of the few places that the government had managed to set up to save something of the world before.

It's the last place that probably has food and shelter.

We are headed there, to try and survive. We probably aren't the only ones, but it sure feels that way sometimes. Everyone else seemed to be in a mad dash to reach somewhere safe and abandoned the cities to go south. We, unfortunately, were unable to do so and now are forced to trek across the frozen wastes that we now call home to reach Haven. The asteroid changed us though, since some of us can do things that no one else could do. We're just using those gifts to help us out along the way.

We're nearly there though. I know we can make it.

I just wish that it wasn't so cold...

Timeline...


Day One - THIEVES!
The two groups take stock of the supplies they have. The main group is able to note that they have enough to get to the sanctuary, but no more than that, as they haven't been able to scavenge much from the area around them. However, unbeknownst to them, they're not the only people in the area. A group of scavengers has also come, and are eyeing the supplies the main group has as they are running dangerously low. The Scavenger group plots to sneak into the main group's camp to steal the supplies they have. It seems everything for the main group is going smoothly. However, when they go to check supplies, they find them missing! Cue a mad search to find the culprits and get their supplies back. The scavengers have hidden nearby, figuring that they might be able to find out where this group is headed since they seem to be mobile and trying to reach a destination. Observing the group, they are discovered and an argument breaks out over the stolen supplies. When it's revealed that the main group is heading to Haven, a truce is called since neither group can survive for much longer out in the open and it's agreed that they can probably get there better as a group rather than separately.
Day Two - The Traveler Cometh
The group heads out and are discovered by someone searching for the source of the magic in the world now. Intrigued, the group decides to let him come with them to the shelter, which seems to be a strong signature of the magic. When they reach it, it's discovered that there is a fragment of the asteroid that hit the planet at Haven for study. This fragment seems to be what the man needs, and an agreement is reached to give it to the man in exchange for helping to get them to Haven (perhaps a teleport spell was in use here?).
Day Three - Crossover Bit - Ahh, My Goddess!
A thief has stolen an artefact from the Pirate queen in the Global Warming world. They have escaped into Haven through a portal, and Tiamat has decided to follow. There is a confrontation with the goddess, as the people are distrustful of someone just appearing out of nowhere, but when it is discovered she is trying to track down a thief, the group agrees to help. As they search, it is discovered the thief has gone out of the safety of Haven and into the freezing wastes outside. The group, better equipped to deal with the frigid temperatures, venture out to stop the thief, and are able to recover the stolen artefact. As a result, Tiamat presents a gift to the people of Haven that helps them to better weather the current climate (be it an object that provides warmth for the caves, a spell to possibly make the area around Haven able to provide for the community, or whatever). The group is then able to breathe easier, as they see the possibility of surviving what has happened to their world.
