The Cosway Hotel

"You are standing outside the Cosway Hotel, a fire-damaged grey-stone building split by a large, diagonal crack" The Cosway Hotel was one of those places that, in the early days of the Outbreak, caught fire. It was saved from burning down, but repairs were never even begun, and so a goodly portion of the building has been lost to fire and smoke damage. It was quickly abandoned, and, as most buildings in Malton did, served for months as a waystation and a bridge to other buildings.

History

Early in 2006, it was found by a trio of tired travelers, who decided to set up there semi-permanently. One of their number soon left, but the others stayed, and soon gathered allies who helped to repair, defend and maintain the building. At one point they even had running water, so the Cosway's inhabitants briefly smelled much better than the rest of the building.

But a period of sudden, extremely heavy zombie activity drove all but one of the Cosway inhabitants from the building a few months later. The majority returned by the month of June, but much of their hard work had been destroyed during the zombies' period of dominance in the suburb. However, in the usual Maltonian life-cycle, this group of survivors regrouped and went about fixing their home back up to their old standard once again. By fall they were once again well-established in the area, and as winter began to descend upon the city, they dug in for a long winter stay.

Barricading Policy

The Cosway is to be kept as heavily barricaded as possible at all times. An entry point may be found 2 north at Creedy Way PD, when zombie activity isn't making it difficult to enter. Try also: Egbert General Hospital (2NW), Bythesia Auto Repair (1NE), or the Saffyn Museum (1E).

Status

• The Wulves and most of the Cosway Crew have left this hotel abandoned, but KTFE and now 5-year-old Casey are still keeping the building in good repair for the winter. AGT can be spotted in the surrounding areas, attempting to make contact with other survivors willing to trade food and supplies for a warm place to sleep.
  • All three characters share Dual_Nature_Policy MO's with a strong emphasis on In Character role play -- AP are spent to further in-game relationships and fuel dramatic tension, rather than to accrue XP and level up, or to provide tactical game-play. If you have a character with which you'd like to spend action points to roleplay, visit us and drop a line. - Dray 03:44, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

• Finding the Hotel abandoned, the paramilitary group Wulves has begun to use it as an advanced outpost for operations into the adjacent suburbs to the north and east of Wyke Hills. EHB, Gen on site but with a Military blackout enforced DO NOT REFUEL YET PLEASE.--Belisarius17 19:24, 16 October 2009 (BST)

• Four o'clock and all is well! We'd like to introduce our youngest resident, one Casey, daughter of AGT and KTFE, born on April 7th 2007!

The Cosway is getting on track again as residents have returned to help clean the damned place up. Zombie activity is low, but so is survivor activity... there aren't a lot of people marching through this part of town. -- Dray 23:44, 26 May 2007 (BST)

• The hotel and the surrounding area have been effectively taken over during a wave of zombie activity, probably caused by the Mall Tour '07. All those who are not committed to defending the Wyke Hills area are advised to fall back to the East, preferably by two or more suburbs. Dray 02:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

• The Cosway and surrounding area have been seeing a record low in zombie activity. Surrounding buildings are being taken down to Very Strongly Barricaded where deemed appropriate.

The Cosway Hotel's residents are currently participating in making Life in Malton more fleshed out. Please feel free to contribute with character sheets, journal entries, stories and other information! - Dray 16:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• The Cosway has been retaken, and we are doing our best to keep it and the surrounding resource buildings safe for survivors. -JKatkina 17:03, 22 August 2006 (BST)

• The Cosway has been sacked, along with the rest of the suburb. The culprits appear to be the De-vivification Experts of Malton. Enter at your own risk. -Camo Hog 08:34, 25 June 2006 (BST)
