Well, I now understand the nature of the Archaic Curse…

Terms, Effects & Errata posted:

+Archaic Curse
Each round there is a 10% chance a rune will appear at the character's feet. One round later, a Soul Flayer will spawn at the rune's location.
The spawn may act immediately. This effect does not proc in the guild.

If another character is adjacent to this character when the spawn chance roll is being made, there is a 40% chance the Archaic Curse will spread to them. This effect does not proc in the guild, or on a round when the character enters a mission map via an portal.

Shiiiiiiit.
I concur, though it could be worse. Unfortunately, this is beyond my means to unravel. An Abjurative would do the job, but alas I don't see any of those lying under the couch.
Well heck. Sorry guys, guess you gotta pack up your poo poo and get going. Keep in mind the noble sacrifice you make for the good of others, yadda yadda.
Let's not be hasty. There is another option, it's just a little less conventional. With the right knowledge, Divine Reliquaries of sufficient power can be used to ease apart a curse knot, though they're gradually consumed by the process. We would need to retrieve one and bring it here so I could use it to decurse the afflicted. Danaz, do you think that you could find someplace with something suitable for our needs?
...Huh? Oh.. I ca- I can have a look. Sure.
Fantastic. Of course, nobody is going to just let us take their reliquary and essentially defile it, so it'll fall to the rest of you to 'persuade' the current owners to part with it. I assume you understand what the added emphasis on 'persuade' means.

Yawwwwwn

Slag half-falls, half-rolls out of bed to examine the new recruits, knocking over an empty bottle.

Above the bed a chalk bullseye has been scrawled across the wood, scattered with tenuously embedded knives.

Their presence is announced by the smell of fermented grapes as they study Ghorg oddly.

Buy Steel Waraxe for Ghorg (they just made space)

Slag shoves the weapon into Ghorg's hand and wobbles back a few steps.

He frames the specter between his fingers and just says "Art."

Ashti checks the fasteners of her new ("new") greatcoat. It was restricting, but that was worth it -- and worth accepting the loan, at least for a while. Ideally, she'd prove herself soon and earn this sort of gift properly. Although...

She cleared her throat. "I don't want to beg" -- and she didn't, she truly didn't -- "but if anyone's got anything for finding and disarming traps going spare, I wouldn't mind it. Help me help you, yeah?"

Simple enough. They seemed a jolly enough group; hopefully they wouldn't hold any little acts of charity against her, once she proved herself. Which had better be soon.

Ghorg blinked.

"I'm... Not entirely sure what just happened, but alright. Probably going to end up in the thick of things one way or another."

Ghorg takes a few test swings, comparing it with the sword.

"A bit heftier than what I'm used to, but it'll do the trick."

"Anyways, have you... Oh. Hm. Already gone."

Shrugging, Ghorg turns back to the empty bookcase. Empty bookcases are always a shame, but perhaps Ghorg could do something about this one. Maybe.

HEY!!! EVERYBODY GET IN HERE!!!
All right, it's time to get off your asses actually make some money! …And I guess desperately seek escape from the tangled web of an ancient deadly curse or whatever. Danaz! What have you got for us?
Um… Okay.. so … I have.. uh.. a few places, that look good. Also I M-managed to find a reliquary… The best news is, that it's outside the Sea of Corruption's reach, so.. there won't.. uh.. they can take their time retrieving it. It's a temple to.. some kind of minor ocean god.. Not of hu-humaniod make.. I think the Seagrym build it. The Seagrym.. They.. uh.. They live in the water.
Wow. What earth-shattering insight. Okay, where else have you got?
Two of the areas we hit before are A-available again. The sea's moved back out and we can go back. If we.. uh. .want.
I found a few more re-- uh.. relatively safe areas.. Another shallow cave like the first we went to… Also a sea cavern.. popular with pirates, once.. a system of.. uh.. deep tide pools, called the Brine Cauldrons.
Also a few places a little. to- um.. tougher.. an old necropolis from before the war… Hopefully.. without.. um.. without whatever is was that cursed you l-last time… Probably a lot of traps in this one too, though...
The last is.. um.. It's an old gnomish factorium… Dr-drowned by the Sea like most of them were.. Probably just the golems left down there n-now… and those things hit .. um. P-pretty hard… Um.. Gnomes aren't much for hidden traps. They still have traps. They.. um.. they just aren't hidden. Uh.. maybe bring disarm kits. …And pickaxes to break down barricades…
Sounds wonderful. Alright, I'm sick of making the tough decisions around here, and-or feeing guilty whenever you idiots get yourselves cursed to death or whatever, so you all figure out where you want to go.

===== MAP VOTE! ====
We can have maximum of 4 maps open at once, so this is the first of 4 votes. We are only voting on the FIRST map to open. The rest of the votes will be spaced apart by a few days.
(Please do no indicate that you'd like to join the map yet, that will be a separate thing tomorrow, and will go according to the prio list.)
Every player that has a character can vote. (even if they are on a mission)
If you want to change for vote, please edit your original vote post to reflect your new choice.
Vote will remain open until 24 hours have elapsed, all players have voted, or a clear majority has developed.
The map with the most votes wins.

--- Map list / difficulty range ---
Locations marked with a '#' are not available. (The Sea has yet to retreat)
the number of 'x' at the end indicates the number of times the location has been visited.
Difficulty ranges are based on the kinds of enemies likely to be encountered, but are mostly gut feelings on the part of the GM. Some rare mobs may be outliers on the difficulty range.
Difficulty does not always match up with the XP values of mobs in a location, so you can consult the GM on whether a given map would be likely to grant worthwhile XP to a character that goes there.

Honiko Bonik

With the needs of their newest recruits more-or-less sorted out with the help of the guild's Storage lockers, Honiko found herself starting to feel antsy right before Tozi raised the announcement for a guildhall gathering.

Honiko hustled through the guild's corridors past several others to be at the front of the pack so she could hear every last detail from the boss and Danaz. Honiko was second only to Klombo, who'd thought it wise to stand centered on the summoning circle before any of the teleportation rituals had been performed on it.

When their options had been laid out for them at last, Honiko spoke up.

"We have to get that Reliquary, obviously," Honiko spoke, clearly bristling at having so many of the accursed standing so close to her, "and if the Altar of Tides is where we can find it then that's where we'll have to go."

"That said, speaking of cleansing corruption..."

At the next breather in the discussion, Honiko nipped over to the guild's shop to make a quick purchase - an investment for later.
