ST PATRICK'S DAY EVENT | MOON MARCH MADNESS | 2026
The atmosphere on Monria is getting thick with more than just lunar dust. The "Cthulhu Effect" is a nasty bit of business ... telepathic interference from an Elder God tends to turn "quirky neighbor" energy into "unstable cosmic threat" energy pretty quickly.
If the Leprechauns are starting to trade their pots of gold for dreams of R'lyeh, our St Paddy’s Day parade at Forensics might be less about shamrocks and more about tentacles and madness.
The Current Situation on Monria
To help you prepare for the festivities (or the fallout), here is a breakdown of the escalating risks:- The Leprechaun Shift: Originally refugees seeking peace, their proximity to the core means they are likely the first to "tune in" to Cthulhu's frequency. Watch for erratic behavior, glowing eyes, or a sudden lack of interest in rainbows.
- The Cultist Factor: Decca and her crew are already organized. If they decide to hijack the parade as a ritual for their sleeping master, Forensics will become a literal crime scene.
- The Unstable Locals: When the average citizen starts hearing the hum of the Deep Ones, social order breaks down. Paranoia is the first symptom.
Survival Tips for the St Patrick’s Day Event
| RISK | SYMPTOM | RECOMMENDED ACTION | ||
| Telepathic Bleed | Hearing rhythmic chanting or "whispers" from the moon's crust | Increase volume of festive music; do not engage with the voices. | ||
| Leprechaun Aggression | Traditional tricks becoming malicious or violent. | Keep your distance. A "lucky charm" won't save you from a madness-induced shillelagh. | ||
| Cultist Infiltration | Anyone wearing green robes instead of green shirts. | Report suspicious gatherings near the Forensics crater immediately. |
A Note on Forensics: Parades are meant to be linear and joyful. If the parade route starts forming non-Euclidean angles or circles that shouldn't exist, evacuate immediately. |
It’s a race against time to see if the holiday spirit can outweigh the cosmic dread radiating from the core. Let's hope the "luck of the Irish" has some resistance to Great Old Ones.
NOTE ... be sure to follow ShadowDragonV's 10-Day Countdown to the event here ... learn about the odd behaviors of the Leprechauns, and other weird happenings.
