My First 50 on Exalted Comes with a Price: Massacre at Ghoul Hotel

I am proud to announce I finally hit 50 with a character created on Exalted. My first Corruptor yet (beam rifle/ poison).

Here's a screenshot of my character hitting 50. I got tired of the usual grind, and joined a rather -massive- Trick or Treat League.

This hotel is known for its cheap rates, terrible food, zombie guests, and of course... REALLY stinky pool water:





This is perhaps hardly newsworthy to the heroic community on the forums but there's more to the story...

As the League was well into 'arresting' the unsavory, half dead clientele at the Ghoul Hotel, someone from the league (and an alleged 'friend') went out of their way to drag something all the way to the hotel.

Here's where the carnage started.....





It turns out the League member had an alternative plan for League. Was he over run by Zombies? Perhaps mind controlled by Witches?

These things pretty much came wobbling in from the parking lot. I saw them first and hovered back. Before I could type anything, 3-4 people were dead. Within 2 foot stomps, another 2-3 people died.

The only reason I had my wits to take a screenshot is I was planning on snapping one as I hit 50.

The reaction to this event is what really cracked me up though. Some people, like myself, thought it was funny. Some others however did not. The group leader promptly kicked the league member from the team, declaring him a heretic. (Perhaps justifiably so)

Some league members were pretty upset, one saying something to the effect of: "How could anyone do that? I could see it if we were in Atlas spamming for power-leveling, but this is terrible!'

I will not mention the 'heretic' league member's name. He is someone I casually know in game. I know him to head up some fun events so I thought I should defend him!

It turned out after talking to him, he did in fact do it. I laughed... I mean what is debt like compared to years ago? It's nothing. The 'heretic' told me he meant it in fun... and it was funny... I'm not sure how you could get too upset at that.

I personally was surprised how bothered some people were by the heretic's actions, but for me it made a rather 'typical' Trick or Treating night quite memorable.

So my first 50 Corruptor on Exalted comes with a price: A league member goes heretic. I hit 50 as 5-10 people were stomped to death by monsters, another 2-3 went down to become the Ghoul Hotel's buffet meal the next day.... Yes it was quite a memorable 50! I won't forget it anytime soon.

The 'Ghoul Hotel' owner was later quoted as saying, "I've seen a lot of things managing this here hotel. I've seen headless people eating heads. I've seen zombies in swimming pools, and I've even seen werewolves trying to use my vending machines... but I've never seen three plant monsters trying to get a single room rate before!!!"

The Ghoul Hotel owner was promptly arrested for serving 'monster mushroom soup' the next morning.
