The Hands Operation In District 82
Under the ashen skies of Midnight Hollow, a covert struggle unfolded as the operatives of the dark corporation, The Hand, advanced upon the beacon of hope that was the rapidly-expanding village. Evelynn, a master of shadows, and her allies clashed with the desperate defenders amidst the rustling leaves of the Black Forest. Echoing throughout the underbrush, the sounds of combat signaled the pivotal moments; from Evelynn's shadow tearing free to slick arrows and bullets cutting through the air. As Carter puppeteered his uncanny mannequin, a fleshformed deserter and Hand soldiers, garbed in dark, sturdy clothes, joined the fray, underscoring the intensity of the battle for the village's precious construction materials.
Harriet, with her mighty warhammer, and fierce Autumn, just as unyielding with her arrows, faced the Hand's relentless assault. A Hand Peacekeeper's bullet grazed Samantha, ushering her untimely departure from the melee. Ultimately, despite the thickening confusion and the burgeoning wounds dealt by both sides, it was Sarah's tenacity, combined with Evelynn's supernatural aids, that tipped the scales. As they outmaneuvered the enemy and secured their prize, the sounds of battle waned under the victorious shadow of The Hand, leaving the rebels of Midnight Hollow to face a grim new reality under the conquerors' reign.
At Sat Jan 6 2024, in a village near District 82
Mission: Get to the designated site and continue capturing (construction materials of) the village of Midnight Hollow until the process is complete.
After elaborate searching, The Hand has finally found a way into District 82 and is quick to capitalize - sending their peacekeepers clad in dark clothes into the Black Forest, to Midnight Hollow, a small village of deserters from the ever-ongoing wars of Hell.
The dark corporation is intent on capturing this strategic location, not far from the Gates, for plans of their own design. The rapidly-expanding village has ample construction materials and is severely lacking in defensive capability. A beacon of hope in the middle of District 82, it certainly won't stay so for long under the iron fist of the Hand. It is pertinent for the other major factions of Haven to stop the Hand from establishing a beachhead and establishing the same reign of terror they have done to the Other. Or at the very least - take as much of the construction materials as possible, both, weakening the Hand's gains and providing valuable resources for future benefit.
