Your madness prompt for the day is "Cold, unmerciful" (edited)

"God has spoken, he has demanded sacrifice in order to spread his influence to save this city, i shall go to the mastic walk's docks, it should be peaceful enough and with the boat traffic, easier to get my hands on people that are visiting, should keep some of the heat down, they won't understand if they find out about this. But sacrifices have to be made so the rest of us can be saved, i take no pleasure in doing this, but it's all for the greater good" Blaine will move to Mastic Walk (docks) and perform corruption rituals with human sacrifice, as discreetly as possible of course.

Great, what about your servant? It technically gets its own actions

Though you could just keep it with you if you prefer

Blaine Greatheart 15-Nov-21 07:31 PM

....i don't know if i would want it walking around freely in the church though xD

feels like a bad place to have it waltzing around considering what the priests might like to do so yeah, if i could have it with me i would do that

but incase i can't pick it with me i would have to leave it at base, wich means i would order it to not attack/ bother the other preists, wich i know might backfire horrible

Cindurion 15-Nov-21 07:35 PM

Yeah, its options are limited at this point. I guess it can spread corruption back at your base (level 5 was max I believe?) Or just stay near you. I imagine you have a lvl 1 corruption aura around you so you can always sustain it near you

Blaine Greatheart 15-Nov-21 07:35 PM

alright

level 5 corruption is max yes

Cindurion 15-Nov-21 07:36 PM

So for now you're attempting to take it with you?

Blaine Greatheart 15-Nov-21 07:36 PM

yes

Cindurion 15-Nov-21 07:36 PM

I suppose it could aid you in the ritual?

Unless you would prefer to keep it docile

Blaine Greatheart 15-Nov-21 07:37 PM

it definitly could

nah, let's try and keep it active while i'm doing the good lords mission!

Cindurion 15-Nov-21 07:37 PM

Great!

Soon, everyone at the docks will get the pleasure of reading Madness News!

Blaine Greatheart 15-Nov-21 07:38 PM

yeeeeees

would be hillarious if someone's base is there xD

Cindurion 15-Nov-21 07:38 PM

Hehe, yep :P

Cindurion 15-Nov-21 10:43 PM

Hmm, there doesn't seem to be any written info on the corruption effects on a zone. Do you remember what we decided on there?

Blaine Greatheart 16-Nov-21 11:51 AM

lesse, the higher it goes the more moraly corrupt the people living in those areas get, turning into more darker verisions that they normaly are and if the corruption levels goes hig enough the terrain and buildings starts showing signs of corruption, like beeing darker and becoming more twisted. like if a person is very kind and helpfull, the more corrupted he gets the more opposite his morality becomes

Cindurion 16-Nov-21 12:23 PM

Right, so nothing mechanically affecting other players aside from at level 5 they get to read Madness news?

Blaine Greatheart 16-Nov-21 12:24 PM

yes i belive that is what we agreed on, i think there was someting but don’t remember fully, could have just been in regards to them interacting with corrupt NPC though

Cindurion 16-Nov-21 12:25 PM

Well, if it isn't written down then I guess it wasn't important :P

Blaine Greatheart 16-Nov-21 12:25 PM

indeed

Cindurion 16-Nov-21 11:35 PM

You and your Servant move to the Docks of the Mastic Walk with purpose, and you begin your ritual to “Purify” the district. Your maddening scrawls and placement of objects go splendidly. Corruption in the area is now level 2. As you return to the Church, you are called to a general meeting by the Envoy of the Gods. The Envoy explains how an ancient tradition called the Mage Wars have begun here in Maineral, and how it is always followed by destruction and chaos. He had been contacted by a scoundrel of ages past called Davey who apparently had an ‘offer for him, but naturally the Envoy declined the offer and sent Davey’s messenger to the afterlife.* He then explains that you all need to be on your toes, and that you should not do anything to take part in the Mage War, even if a Mage begs you to. “This war is for them, and we will not take part! And should they be foolish enough to try and force our hands, we will destroy them!” (Is it just you, or has the Envoy seemed a bit… eccentric.. Lately? Oh well...) (edited)

"Now that my gods command has been fulfilled i shall try and re-assure the people worried about doomsday coming, i hade not heard it from god but perhaps it's all part of the plan. People tend to put allot of faith in money these days, i shall therefore travel to the place where they store it and leave my gods blessing with them so that he will protect what's important to the un-initiated, thereafter i will spend my time aiding those less fortunate then me. I have asked my guardian angel to look over the docks and help those in need" Blaine will travel to Downtown (bank) and place an infused corruption item to passively increase corruption levels in that sector. Servant will remain in docks and spread corruption.

Cindurion 20-Nov-21 08:21 PM

(Btw, if you prefer you could probably have your servant place one of those as well, just so you know)

Blaine Greatheart 20-Nov-21 08:21 PM

(hmmm, would be nice to sorta try and future proof some spreading so sure)

Cindurion 20-Nov-21 08:22 PM

(Cool. Basically, your servant can do most, if not all things you can do, so think of it as an additional character you control, except when it disobeys you :p)

Blaine Greatheart 20-Nov-21 08:23 PM

(okidoki! ^^)
