Geostigma's Common Knowledge/Chain of Events
Day 1: Eorzean Alliance is attacked by a deranged Muud Suud, at Ala Ghiri.
Immortal Flames Officer Feco Boco
“Took nearly fifty plus to fall the beast, we lost a dozen good men and about another dozen severely injured.This Muud Suud’s was twice the normal size its skin was like armor, those attacks that would break through did not even phase it. I have never seen anything quite like it, perhaps another Garlean abomination. What was most weird is it dissolved before our very eyes into this puddle of black goo. We came back some bells later to clean up and found it was gone. No trace of it.â€
Day 2: Twin Adders respond to an attack on Hawthorne Hut. The situation proving too much for the Wood Wailers and Twin Adders that they called out to the Adventurer's guild in Gridania in need of aid from anyone who would answer the call to arms.
Hawthorne sustained some damage. Fallen tents, broken merchant carts, fallen trees. Four confirmed Wood Wailers dead. Six Adders confirmed dead. 1 Adventurer. Fourteen injured.
Serpent Officer Esinne Kucaux.
“After responding to a call from the Wood Wailers of Hawthorne Hut about a giant wild boar attacking. We brought a dozen to respond. Upon arriving I knew we did not have enough to take this not with our numbers being so scarce with many off fighting for Ala Mhigo. I sent my squad in to lure the Boar from the Hawthorne, while I sent word to Gridania for adventurer’s that a call to arms was needed. Some passersby saw the destruction and came to aid. Some came by requests of the Adventurer's guild as well, even a noble free company Gold & Glory came. Ever am I grateful they did. Had I not seen this thing with my own two eyes I'd never have believed it.
These adventurers and local moogle, all fought valiantly, this boar would barely flinch at their attacks as they would carve away at it. It was bleeding like one would expect but also bleeding this thick black ichor. There was also some kind of crystal or something, I can't confirm as it exploded after the beast died. Let me not forget the part of the beast turning into a puddle of that black ichor, and the crystal turned the rain black killing much of the grass. I had never seen or felt the presence of this thing before.
We came back several bells later to clean up for the moogle and found the black ichor was hard and breaking down blowing away in the wind like dust or sand.â€
Day 3: Northern Shroud Wood Wailer report. “There was massive explosion to the southwest of Fallgourd Float, it lit up the night sky like fireworks. These explosions lasted several minutes being heard as far east as Gridania, and when they did finally stop the sky went dark and lights that looked like stars would shine through but they were this red color it did not last very long, but a weird phenomenon nonetheless.â€
