We were able to get word out soon enough and there's a contingency in play regarding shipping fresh water from the rest of Thanalan, but there's definitely casualties.
Well, what is being gotten at is the fact that well...some places are gotten from Natural Resources and from ground water. I mean, yes, the Goblet has the large artificial waterfall but I'm pretty sure it's drawing from either or both ground water and the ocean.
If Jin'li's gotten to ALL of them, everyone is literally fucked. You can't just easily decontaminate that type of thing. No one can be drinking anything or even using anything because they've all been poisoned and that type of thing is a complete disaster. Hell, if it's something that will still have ill effects even with dilution, La Noscea is fucked too

If it's a natural spring or river, it will eventually decontaminate itself as the water continues to flow from the source, washing everything away. Will take time however.
Any man-made source is 'effed', though.
I agree it's a complete disaster. Thankfully it was only the city, and not the outlying villages that were contaminated, so there should be other sources nearby that can send emergency water rations.

Â Will take time however.Mass murder is not a "disaster". Okay, its not a "natural disaster". The consequences of this should really be thought through.

Fortunately from what i've seen, every residence in the Goblet has at least one hot tub. So we can drink from those for a while.

The plot is supposed to run for a month or so. Large sources of water are lost to the city, setting the distraught tone for Phase 2. Everyone is restless and thirsty and tired. I don't think Askier meant that the entire world is fucked, just that there's enough damage and casualty to give the city some severe tension. Those of us who are on the Good Guy Brigade have a week of moving bodies, fending off riots and rationing water to work with going into the next session.
I kind of like it. Phase 1 is just applying the DoTs before the DPS starts in earnest for Phase 2.
Disclaimer: Not talking for Askier, just pointing out how I see it.

*sees Aya about to have a drink while on break*
*Time slows down*
*dramatic leap while screaming NOOOOO*
*slaps glass away from lips just in nick of time*

For an OOC look on what Franz/Merc knew ICly, a lot of the bad guys weren't told what was happening. We were just hired to cause a diversion.Â
Needless to say, some of the non-collared bad guys *cough cough* may want to do something about it. It will be interesting to see how he hears of the poisoning, you know, living with Kage and Nat.

I think "Atrocity" would be a good word for what's happened to Ul'dah.
For her part, Hornet's out of the action for a while as she considers whether she should involve herself further.

We're basically a sitcom.

I think the consequences for all those that were collared and willingly took part in poisoning of the waters to result in hundreds unaware that would/could die from it...
I think *that* is what I am looking forward to the most at the end this.
Yes. I absolutely think there needs to be consequences for every action taken in RP. Else nothing holds weight.
I am super excited to see how things play out.Â

Yeah, there's not going to be a lot of sympathy for the non-collared. Even the collared folk Hornet thinks should have taken their own heads rather than do what they did. But she's a hard-ass like that.

This is definitely going to leave large, sweeping lines in the sand once it's said and done. I see lots of reformed villains and broken heroes by the end.

Well we don't have to say we were there~ Though the truth will come out eventually. Nat was ordered to infiltrate Jin'li organization, though she doesn't have the stomach for it anymore now that she knows what she inadvertently helped do. Draaaaamaaaaaa.
