Timeline Summary

Backstory

You have been contacted for contract work in Ostfold. You've been told to report to dock 9 at the docks in the northernmost United Province city of Greenville. From there you will receive transportation to Ostfold and instructions on the ride to the country.


Quest 1 - Cold and Coal Dust

Having been contracted for work in Ostfold, Iota, Luffy, Cassia, Mike West, Streea/Michael, and Drago show up at the docks in the UP city of Greenville in the early morning of 4 November 2322. They're escorted to a boat by Levi Strossbourg, who explains that something big is going on behind the scenes between Ostfold's three main resource companies, and it's messing with TTT's supply lines from them. He tells them to investigate ORC (Odin Resource Company) first.

The boat arrives in the Ostfoldian capital city of Jotunheim and head for the ORC building. As Levi instructed, they sign up to be guards to protect the miners, so that they can gain their trust. They meet with a man about this, and he prepares to test if they're up to the task by fighting them.


Quest 2 - Mikhail & Iota End Kold Var

Michael/Streea and Iota take up the fight by themselves, beating up the Not-Ruskie and winning the Cold War. The group asked to investigate the Sloughgaarden Mines.


Interlude

The original group breaks up after this, the investigation soon cancelled, leaving the miners unprotected. In the weeks and months to come, a mysterious rainbow-colored ore is found, and people begin turning up dead, leading Strossbourg to get back whoever he could and hire new people as well.


Quest 3 - Mine Mayhem

Months later, on 5 June 2323, Levi attempts to reform the group. After only being able to re-hire Luffy, he hires a new group (Godfrey, Anne-Marie, Molly, and Celice) to join Luffy in the re-opened investigation into the Sloughgaarden Mines. After Minecraft jokes definitely don't happen, they are told that a few months prior the mine workers had discovered a type of warm, rainbow-colored crystal in a cavern system that works as fuel, and workers sent to mine it kept turning up dead or missing, leaving the group to find out why. The group comes across a group of mutated miners, who attack them. They defeat the mutants, and a giant worm creature comes after them. They are forced to retreat.
