PLOT & ROLL

---

Hey guys! Getting the plot show on the road, ahead of the 12-13 March update — some of the big-picture mission objectives available:

■ finding the babe-eating serpent woman mentioned by Taksui

■ looking into the dark well waters

■ finding out the village links to the feral Beastmaster

Beyond that...

There are three mod-assigned plot rolls/objectives available — — comment here by 23:5 GMT on 11 March to enlist your character.

You can also sign up for a RNG selected conversation with either corrupt village leader Hok-Shinn Weisi or with mysterious blind priestess Hyang-Tai, also by 23:5 GMT on 11 March. The expectation is to try to finish a thread with them by 20 March, if your character is selected — and to share findings with the group, after.

ANCESTRAL CURSES

Regarding ancestral curses — your character's atonement can be as specific or general to the curse story as you want.

Example: if your character is making amends for the wrath/indifference of a daughter-in-law who quietly suffered the nonstop criticism of her new family, until one day she snapped and took an axe to them: you could do story-specific acts of atonement, like finding the remains of the woman's family and making offerings to silence their aggrieved spirits or cleaning the last drop of blood from their decaying house, midway-specific ones like teaching new brides patience or how to cope with nagging in-laws, or more generic solutions, like promoting pacifism worldwide.

Generally, curses are just meant to prompt characters to exit their comfort zones and ice break some new CR — have fun!

As Anduin discussed with Taksui (still can't believe they are semi in agreement on this), he is definitely wary that something else might have happened to these missing children and that the villagers are so wary of everything semi-supernatural that they are pinning it on this snake woman. He'd want to investigate around town a bit and gather more information with regards to the circumstances behind their disappearance, as stated above: who they were, when were they last seen, were there any witnesses to this supposed child-eating, are these people actually all that believable....

Also yes, investigating the well itself, Anduin will be very handy! He can help Levitate people as stated above, and also heal... If it comes to that...
