august activity + taravast, quests, game chat, admin... and BADGES
ACTIVITY CHECK | ARHA | TARAVAST, QUESTS & EVENTS | GAME CHAT? | BADGES
Hi guys! The activity check (AC) is handled by Ye Olde Modde, and you do not need to do anything unless I couldn’t find activity proof for your character and they’re on the below list. Please don’t forget to use character tags for posts and logs you tag into — it helps fish out your activity.
Regular activity requirements are one of the following during the AC month:
Activity counts whether conducted on either the game communities or character inboxes.
In July, I couldn’t find sufficient activity for...

Quite a lot has been unearthed on the past of Lady Hatisse, Lord Arha and his ghostly battalion — leaving their fate uncertain.
What we learned in recent days:
- Arha’s stone tomb is among those revealed for exploration following the Allison-led incursion into the harpies’ nest. It remains unopened and can be accessed by everyone.
- Opening the temples released ghostly figures of a previous merchant caravan, slaughtered by Arha.
- Attempts to reveal his demise have driven Arha unhinged, pushing him to float the prospect of carnage. As one does.
- At the core of the harpies are bone pieces collected from the tombs of the buried ghost army.
- Lady Hatisse attempted to dissuade Arha’s rescue efforts, then led her lover into the murderous hands of her sisters and their former enemies, when he continued his military advance.
- Arha’s stone tomb is among those revealed for exploration following the Allison-led incursion into the harpies’ nest. It remains unopened and can be accessed by everyone.
Arha plot wrap...!
- Most of the August calendar remains subject to update once Arc II has been set up, but you can find loose indications here. The calendar will be updated, likely next week.
- The location setup for Arc II, “team” and identity assignments and a small event will go up 6-8 August. Thank you for everyone's help with assignments — now no longer taking input.
- Some characters will receive individual quests/aftermath instructions, following on mod talks or events in Arc I and the Stairs of Sighs. At this time, they are Five, Archeval and Eleven. Two other characters are slated for optional quests based on Taravast’s setup — Zhou Zishu and Wen Qing. Their agendas haven’t been forgotten, and all that info will be laid out when we hit Taravast. Bear with me!
- If there is a longer-term character arc that you want to work on and need some environmental or mod help with, hit up the player suggestions area!
- Moving forward, the Story So Far page will (hopefully) be updated with summaries on a monthly basis, to help our newcomers.
- Lastly, given the clue and plot-oriented nature of Eastbound, some folks have asked about a potential game Discord chat. While I’d be happy to set one up, I’m not currently in a place where I could actively moderate a chatroom — if you have thoughts on how we could go about making a non-mod-led one happen (or if you feel one is needed to begin with), happy to hear them!
- Most of the August calendar remains subject to update once Arc II has been set up, but you can find loose indications here. The calendar will be updated, likely next week.
We now have a slew of new Interlude Arc: Stairs of Sighs badges that can be added to your collection. Check’em out below!
To the newbies among us: character budges are optional OOC fun times markers for what you feel represents your character’s activity or milestones in an Arc. They are purely for laughs. You can pick, choose and display them as you see fit — here is the archive of general badges and the Arc I: Sa-Hareth set. We also have code for a badge wallet to showcase them.
STAIRS OF SIGHS BADGES
And a new general badge, beloved by all:

Five was also fully prepared to pay Xue Yang gold to manifest Hatisse as plan C, the man-child is loaded. But if he does it for free on his own, you know-! That's great, take that initiative friend.
no subject
fun, angry ghosts, that's worthwhile
no subject
If bribing turns out to be useful, he's not above working with Xue Yang is all I'm saying. There were all types with his former employer, it's fine. You just have to learn how to point them in the right direction.
no subject
He does think not hiding the crazy is more fun though, try it some time.
no subject
Anyway this is good. He'll keep an eye on tasks as needed I'm sure it could be a fine working relationship at some point. If he needs to distract him with a cool explosion in the meantime, well. Fine.

Ask Xue Yang who killed him one day.
no subject
I can't see why that wouldn't come up in natural conversation though.
