JANUARY PLOTTING.




It's great to have all of you here. We hope you enjoy this quick update on what's going on in the game!

State of South Sister

Currently, the worst of the cold is behind us! The snow levels lessen as there is intermittent bouts of rain and slush, making it so it is barely a few inches, and at times, only an inch or so off the ground. It still gets cold at night, and there is an icy fog that hurts to breathe in at night. But, with a little central heat for the houses and fireplaces in the cottages, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Location Changes

This month will be an exciting one though! There are many features that are being added to the map this month. This includes: a dojo for practicing fighting, a library for books and various types of media, as well as a cave system that opens up on the Northern edges of the island, near the woods! More on that will be covered in the plot description below.

This month, we’re going to do something a little different. While the library will be free to explore, the caves will initially appear shallow and uninteresting… until the discovery of cursed books in the library teleports some Wickies deep into the cave system! Look to the comments below to sign your character up for being Trapped in the caves, or Rescuing those entombed within.

Those that are trapped within the tunnels will, for the first few days, have no way out, and only a few water sources here and there. There will be a film of darkness that seems to go over any light source, and the tunnels themselves are a confusing labyrinth with many dead ends.

There are two additional dangers: firstly, holes which, if climbed into, can cause Wickies to crush themselves to death, and secondly, wendigos that have been trapped within the cave system for some time. These beings crave flesh and are difficult to fight against, as they can trick their prey with mimicry.

Rescuers will be able to break through into the tunnel system and free the survivors by the middle of the month. Unfortunately, this will allow the wendigos to escape and start hunting on the surface. Other monsters will be seen as well: familiar-looking figures struggling and grimacing in what looks like a straight jacket made of their own skin.
These monsters have warnings for gore, cannibalism, and body horror. The caves also hold a warning for claustrophobia and crushing, so if these are not for you, please exercise care!

Information on the dojo has been added to the locations page. The caves and library will be added on January 9 when the event goes live. If you have any questions about the event, please hit us up below. Otherwise, have fun, and feel free to start plotting!
