better study up
Who: Everyone
What: The monthly info share!
When: Several days after the new moon
Where: Inn Lobby
Warnings: Mentions of child death, past life talk, discussion of body horror, mentions of live burial
( after everyone's had time to rest after "forest quest", eventually felicity will, one by one, tell everyone to meet up at the inn at 6 pm. by the time they get there, she'll have several snacks out- cookies, breads, and chocolate croissants alongside fruits and vegetables and cuts of smoked fish- and a giant pot of tea and another of coffee ready with the fixings. it looks like she's got a whiteboard out? but no, she's mostly just 'writing' in the air just in front of a wall to make notes. she's already got a summary of what they've already learned and shared previously. )

THE LOCALS
HEIMR - runs the general store, a sad dad. "gave up his name" to the forest, which is why he's a shadow person now.
YDALIR - runs the trading tent, able to access other worlds??? "gave up her name" to the forest, see above.
RUSTY - a very good dog. be nice to him or else
ZAHLIYA - a gargoyle who's been brought to life. able to deal with corruption on a certain level. likes cheese. guardian of the grove, has many titles. good for him.
NENE - add's kid now, dealing with heavy corruption. guides people from the garden back to safety. say hi to nene she's here somewhere. if she ever brings you back to the grove, listen to her.
MODER - the big moose lady. used to be evil. she's cool now.
PLACES
INN - You are Here. Several rooms on the bottom floor can't be opened, give a heavy sense of dread when approached. You may have noticed an odd sense of familiarity otherwise.
ALDRIC'S MANOR -Contains at least three children, one dead. Elsword discovered a map and a journal there. Currently unable to get past the walls. The children inside are conducting a ritual, the details unknown.
PEOPLE FOREST - A part of the forest where the trees look like actual people. Very fucked up.
THE RIVER - Home of the river guardian, who Elsword and 9S (not here anymore) freed. Return the remains of any fish you eat to the river, as it's requested. Also it made us an apple tree. Underneath the river were previously the remains of dozens of people who had been buried alive. Unsure if this has changed since the original monster has been defeated.
VOLCANO - ???? FUCKED UP
THE GARDEN - Those who die or experience fatal injuries are brought here to recover both body and soul. filled with flowers and an ethereal mist. remaining in the garden after recovery leads to risk of degrading into the mist itself. to leave the garden safely however you are forced to pay a toll (permanent physical injury confirmed, memory loss, skill loss, ect. claimed)
CHURCH - ??? Nene used to live there.
THINGS
ALDRIC'S JOURNAL - contains information about how the grove used to be, including the fact that "we" used to live here. hold questions, this will be discussed further. Many pages are missing, and it's presumably not the only journal he's kept.
OLD PHOTOS - pictures of us that have been scattered around the inn. presumably of our "past lives". fucked up if true.
THE FOREST
A childish monster that's managed to take over the entire forest. Must be asked nicely to get wood or to enter long enough to forage or hunt, and thanked nicely after. Will throw tantrums so hard that it thunders and lightning strikes. Has a plethora of cursed plants and mutated or mutilated fauna ready to attack. Able to infect people with cursed plants also. Dangerous, petty, able to inflict curses for a time. Do NOT engage if possible. Threats include Carnivorous Flowers (able to absorb abilities of people it feeds from), wood wolves, patchwork "werewolves" made from various creatures and people, and more.
OTHER
THE MOON - changes in the sense that it's literally a different moon every night. sometimes it's one that's already "visited" before.
THE SEA - shown on the map, mentioned on the journal. it looks like a cliff overlooks the waters. there's notes of unusual happenings but it's unclear if it's just normal but weird fish or legitimate sea monsters.
( ... yeah, it's. it's a lot. felicity eventually "caps" the "marker" she was writing with and steps back. )
Sorry if I missed anything, but- this is what we've got so far. I'll be adding to the board as we go- or share the marker as needed. And please remember, every bit of information helps so if you know something, please say something.
( please put information in separate toplevels, labeled and warned for clearly in the headers. only let the character who did the discovering reveal their new information. threadjacking may happen given the nature of this info share mingle.)
