CW for arachnophobes: Cartoon images of a spider ahead!
The flavor-text for the weapons introduced in 2015 often had miss messages such as "(username) aims her raygun at (monster), but misses and accidentally sets a rose bush on fire." or "(username) swings her battle axe, but only manages to chop down a tree." This was seized on by the userbase and so many jokes were told about accidental deforestation as a result of the goblin battle that replanting the forest we ruined became the central plot for the following year's Epic Week.
Not only had there been an ecological impact because of the battle of 2015; it turned out that the forest was also haunted because of the battle that had been fought there.
To stop the haunting of Forum Forest, we had to awaken the three great Forest Guardians, who had gone dormant after our battle had devastated their lands.
We successfully awoke two, but then...
A massive spider creature, towering even above the trees, attacked! She was the one who had been stirring up the ghosts and zombies in Forum Forest, trying to claim it for herself. The community named her "Blightcilla" given the effects of her sting.
All seemed lost, until an old friend returned to pay us back for the kindness we'd shown her/her/him/it in our previous year's adventure.
With help from the Many Headed Cyborg Dragon, we defeated Blightcilla and brought balance back to Forum Forest.
With the third guardian finally awakened, we had ensured peace once again.
