Day 12: Marching
Day 13
Location: The Edge of the Shadowlands
As you march southward, the landscape begins to change. Lush jungle is eaten away by corrosion, leaving a partially blasted landscape. The only plants that survive are trees that seem twisted and strange versions of the native trees you saw before. The leaves have taken on a sickly green-purple hue, and an oily black substance seems to cling to their roots and crawl up their bark. What undergrowth is left has acquired considerably more thorns that have to be navigated carefully for fear of poison.
Traveling through this area without jade requires a TN 10 Earth roll in the EM. Characters who fail this roll acquire 1 point of Shadowlands Taint.
Shugenja casting spells using blood magic in this area risk drawing the attention of kansen instead of kami, corrupted elemental spirits who will gleefully answer their sacrifices instead. Shugenja must make a TN 10 Earth roll when they cast or acquire 1 point of Shadowlands Taint. Jade grants a +10 bonus to this roll.
Shugenja also have the option of deliberately calling on these spirits, gaining a +5 bonus to their roll, but gaining 2 points of Shadowlands Taint with no roll to resist and subtracting 2 Purity Points from the total.
Weather:
The weather stays somewhat wet during your march farther south, but today, it gets worse. Ominous clouds hang overhead during the morning and afternoon slots, and finally break into a heavy rain during Late Afternoon. The rain doesn't last long, but it smells terrible, and is corrosive, mildly damaging any equipment, animals and people that aren't quickly sheltered in tents or under trees.
Anyone caught outside and unable to find shelter in the LA takes 1k1 exploding damage.
Events:
LM: The Ow of Shinsei
LA: The Crippled Bone (this event opens at 17:00 PDT)
EN: Visions of Horror
