Welcome to Expiation and come on down! We're thrilled to have you here! This intro entry serves additionally as a CR meme, so you are free to use it to say hello, tell us a bit about yourself, talk about your character, and potential plans for the game.

The SOTG for January is here, with changes and where the game is going for the month. Feel free to browse around if you haven't already, and here's a handy dandy directory below so everyone can check out the info pages:

JANUARY EVENT

QUEST IN THE CAVES

Concerned by the corruption and what it could mean in the spring if it’s left unchecked, Aldrip’s blacksmiths and miners offer their help more freely than they would if not for impending catastrophe. They offer to attach those glowing rocks to weapons, farming equipment, and other tools. They may even make cuffs, anklets, or other adornments that can keep the corruption at bay within a person’s body. So get to the caves and grab some! Once characters have these upgraded tools in hand, they’ll find that when working together, they seem to remove the corruption quickly enough that it doesn’t come back. The sky is the limit for what artisans and blacksmiths are willing to make, in this case, so please feel free to get creative when coming up with solutions.

FROM THE SEA

Stay around this corruption long enough and characters will notice that it seems like these wispy lines of corruption seem to lead somewhere. Those Chosen who follow the path will find themselves at the coast. This trip is not without its perils: the monsters that have been affected around town continue to be aggressive, attacking characters and, unfortunately, spreading more of this problem affliction with the slightest bite or scratch.

Arriving at the coast, characters will find that the monster from November’s event is back and ready for its next meal. This close to land, it seems slightly less dangerous, but what’s more interesting is that the weapons infused with gems from the cave seem to do extra damage to it. Upon closer inspection, this creature, too, is affected by the corruption, its body streaked with it. As characters make contact using the gems, this corruption once again subsides

DAMAGE CONTROL

Aldrip has its own share of troubles during this time. Characters who prefer to stay close to home could find themselves charged with creating barriers to keep out octopus monsters that come closer and closer to town, seeking to take people to their giant hungry sea monster friend. With buildings and structures in danger from the rot, characters may also want to collect and use more of the gems from the cave in order to prevent further structural decay–or they might quickly need to help someone evacuate from a building too far gone and crumbling. There will also be plenty of people and crops that need healing from this corruption.aw
