The Alner Household

When the outbreak first occurred, the Alners--like most residents of Malton--fled the city. Their household staff, however, was not so lucky. They attempted to continue their duties, maintaining the mansion, but eventually the barricades broke and the household was dispersed throughout Malton.

But now, after years of the mansion periodically falling into ruin thanks to the ever-present zombie threat in Roachtown, a new hope has emerged. It is time for the Alner Mansion to be restored to its former grandeur. Granted, the mansion has a bit of a spotty history, thanks to the odd tastes of Lord Peter Alner and his descendants, but time washes away all spots, doesn't it?

Through a four-phase operation, The Alner Household will restore the Alner Mansion, and develop the surrounding blocks of Roachtown, for the benefit of all.


History

Paul Derleth grew up in the ghettoes of Roachtown, dreaming of one day living in the Alner Mansion he passed every day but never entered. After the outbreak, he wandered Malton, avoiding zombie attacks. Despairing of all hope, he found himself back home in Roachtown, outside the then-ruined Alner Mansion. He dedicated himself that day to restoring the mansion to the status it rightly deserves.

Phase 1: Repair and Barricade

A ransacked mansion is an unhappy mansion. The first phase of the renewal is therefore to repair any building damage. And because damage is unavoidable without barricades, it also requires barricading the mansion to EHB, with surrounding buildings kept as EPs.

Status: Completed/Ongoing- because of the frequent zombie attacks, repairing and barricading the mansion is never fully completed.


Phase 2: Restore the Mansion

A repaired, but empty and lifeless mansion is still a sad one. Thus, the second phase is to install generators in all corners of the mansion and keep them fueled; it also involves securing decorations for the mansion from surrounding museums. With light and artwork, the mansion will feel a little more like home.

Status: In progress. Some generators and decorations have been procured, but more are required.


Phase 3: Restore Surrounding area

The spirit of the Alner family is best served by paying attention to the surrounding area. This includes repairing the buildings around the mansion and barricading them to either EHB or VSB++ (for EPs).

Bold text: Ongoing. Because of frequent zombie attacks, and the darkness in several surrounding buildings, this is a continuing trouble.


Phase 4: Operate Revive Point

Roachtown has several revive points, one of which is adjacent to the Alner Mansion. The Alner Mansion will demonstrate its dedication to Roachtown by running an active revive point to aid all survivors.

Status: In development.
