BAD EVENTS
1 – Divide and Conquer: Visit each norn and move each to an isolated location. By the time you are finished, all norns should be alone, in different parts of the map.
2 – A Pox on You: The norn with the highest health is fed or injected with a poisonous substance that will make him or her sick. – USE
3 – World-Breaker:
C1/C2: A COB that was used to renovate the world previously gets removed, altering it back to a previous, more dangerous state.
C3/DS: Either the same instance above, or remove a metaroom that you may have added to the run at random.
4 – Idle Hands: Visit every norn in Albia or on the Shee Starship. Every toy in the vicinity of a norn gets moved elsewhere, where no norns are.
5 – Double Trouble:
C3/DS (docked): Export both grendels and allow another pair to hatch, then re-import the grendels that were exported previously. When one or two of the grendels die and are not replaced, you cannot add another pair unless this event is rerolled.
DS (undocked): Assuming you have no grendels due to being undocked, import a single grendel into your world. If this is not the case, refer to the C3/DS (docked) directions above.
6 – Dumbing Down:
C3/DS: If any language-teaching machine is on and can be turned off, do so. If any of them can be moved, place them somewhere few to no norns can access. Those that cannot be moved or altered, such as the C3 knowledge stones and the DS Meso vocabulary infuser, must be blockaded if at all possible with agents.
7 – Fruits of Temptation: Inject 6 extra weeds or badplants into the world (or the edible products of said plants) and add them near six randomly-selected norns. If you have fewer than six norns, then place one near each and the remainder of the plants in random locations (if desired, roll on the appropriate random-room generator below to select where to place them).
8 – Solitary Confinement: A norn is chosen at random and moved to an area of Albia or the Shee Starship that is currently uninhabited by any other norn (if desired, roll on the appropriate random-room generator below to select where to place them–and if a room where norns are already present is rolled, reroll). If the randomly-selected norn is already alone, then reroll for a different norn.
9 – Ticket to Heck: Take a randomly-selected norn that’s otherwise in a good spot (fertile garden, etc.) and move them to a more dangerous location. Depending on the game, you may have a number of options.
NEUTRAL EVENTS
10 = Matchmaker: Randomly select one male and one female norn. Export them and re-import them at the hatchery area. If you don’t have one of either gender, then I send you my condolences on the fate of your run.
11 = Norn Regroup: Export every currently-active norn and re-import them into the world at the incubator location. (If a norn had previously been exported for any reason, don’t re-import them until another event dictates otherwise).
12 = Grendel/Ettin Regroup: Export the grendel(s) and ettin(s) and re-import them into the world at the incubator location.
13 = Luck of the Draw: Select a COB or agent to add randomly, regardless of whether it’s good or bad. If it’s a world-builder or -breaker COB or agent, or an update that had previously been added, select another at random. (And, of course, if it’s a COB or agent that crashes your game, don’t add it.)
14 = Hazel Thumb: Inject 3 extra weeds/badplants and 3 extra herbs/fruits (or the edible products of said plants) into the world and sprinkle them about randomly. If desired, roll on the appropriate random-room generator below to select where to place them.
15 = Find-It: Inject 6 toys in the world and sprinkle them about randomly. If desired, roll on the appropriate random-room generator below to select where to place them.
16 = Redistributing Wealth: Select a norn at random and take away a portable object in their vicinity, one that they are actively holding or using if applicable. Then select a second random norn and place that object near them.
17 = Misplaced Care Package: Inject three random, portable COBs or agents and place them in the areas specified for each game. Granted, not many norns will be able to enjoy these treasures… but at least the banished grendels and lonely ettins will be happy!
C2: The little, ecologically-sustaining dome that’s under the coconut tree.
18 = Trading Places: Randomly-select a norn and then make it switch locations with another randomly-selected norn in a different part of Albia or the Shee Starship. If the second randomly-selected norn is in the same place as the first one, then reroll for the second one.
GOOD EVENTS
19 + Feed the Masses: An additional food vendor is entered into the area of the feral run that, at the time of the event, has the greatest number of norns.
20 + Heal the Sick:
C3/DS: Find a norn that looks unhappy or hurt and place them in an area that’s fertile and growing lots of food.
21 + Albian Expansion: An extra COB or agent is injected to renovate a part of Albia or the Shee Starship that is dangerous and make it a safer place for norns. If “World-Breaker” was previously rolled, then add back the removed COB or agent specifically.
22 + Bread and Circuses: Visit every norn in Albia or on the Shee Starship. Every norn that does not have a toy in their vicinity gets a toy COB or agent added and placed near them.
23 + Pest Control: Transport the grendel to a part of Albia where they cannot bother the norns and “lock” them there using whatever COBs you have available, if needed. When this grendel dies and a new one is born, you cannot do this to the new grendel unless this event is re-rolled. If “Double Trouble” was previously rolled, move all grendels to this location. If you want to be extra merciful, you’re allowed to give him or them a food vendor and/or a toy as well.
24 + Vocabulary Boost: Employ the following for the necessary game. If “Dumbing Down” had previously been rolled, move the displaced language-teaching devices back to where they were previously, re-enter the words into the non-portable machines, and/or allow access to learning materials (and, if in C2, you can now re-register norn’s names again).
DS: All norns that haven’t learned from the Vocabulary Infuser should be coaxed to press it as best as possible. Don’t waste your breath if a norn or two won’t push it, though! Those that don’t within 15 seconds or so of coaxing can be moved back to their original positions. – JUST USE VOCABULIZER?
25 + Fruits of Abundance: Inject 6 extra fruit plants or herbs into the world (or the edible products of said plants) and add them near six randomly-selected norns. If you have fewer than six norns, then place one near each and the remainder of the plants in random locations (if desired, roll on the appropriate random-room generator below to select where to place them).
26 + A Friend for the Wallflower: A norn is chosen at random and moved to another norn via the methods described below. If the randomly-selected norn is already with one or more other norns, reroll.
C3/DS: Move the norn to the norn’s name next to theirs on the creature menu. If they’re at the upper-right corner of the list, move the norn to the norn’s name on the bottom-left corner. If they’re at the bottom right corner of the list, move the norn to the first norn’s name on the next page of the creature menu.
27 + Free Refills:
C2/C3/DS: Place a single-bite piece of food by every norn, such as a piece of cheese or a carrot.
28 + Ticket to Heaven: Move a randomly-selected norn that is otherwise in an “unsavory” place or position to a location that has fertile land and is growing food. You may or may not have options, depending on the game.
The three continued to put toys in their mouth for a short while and as they did, I wondered if I should lead them to the foresty area. I couldn’t do much exploring myself since I was basically tethered to each of the little darlings, but I was still planning to nab the rest of the gameplay power ups.
Because his location was convenient, I took Jonathan up to the bridge leading to the new area. He was still drowsy, not having an opportunity to sleep since he and the girls started trying to eat toys, but he marched on. I should note that I was happy to let him rest, but he looked like he wanted to just get it over with.
He nearly drowned in this shallow pond but when I came to his rescue, he had a new lady friend. I’ve named her Bella (Magic School Bus, anyone?). Unfortunately, she didn’t last long. I took her down in a lift after forgetting that Frog Norns die if taken too far from their pond.
Eventually, I was able to lure him around to get two more power ups. When he got the Advanced Science Kit I had to act quickly, though. He was a star at pushing implements but he basically flung himself into the Volcano. I was able to use PickMeUp just in time to keep him from colliding with the ground.
Jenny, the youngest female, was the first to get sick. She didn’t infect any of the other norns and she was fine after some honey and a Tomato. Thankfully, the problem wasn’t worse.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know a thing about creature brains so while it’s nice for the sake of completion, the kit did nothing practical for me. Still, to celebrate our return to the incubation area, where the other two Norns were, Clarise decided to have an egg.
After it was laid, I scooped the tiny thing up and put it in a basket. With that, I thought I should add another male. Things were certainly starting to get crowded in the incubator area, but the Norns that were already here might be able to help teach whoever I hatched next.
