Okay, thanks for letting me know.

Okay, so I know from @Neurotic's post on the Discord that he's modifying his spell list. And, @MetaVoid has chimed in for going in to The Gloom right away. There seems to be a consensus, so I'm going to assume you guys are all good to move on. This means that the inevitable won't be going with...

Since I forgot to use the rules for taint at the ruined temple, then I'm going to say Maur suspected he'd need more protection from The Gloom and prepared the appropriate spell.

Post added. Note that you have several gems available but no pure jade. There is a Red Garnet that is worth 160 gp. That would be valuable enough to use assuming the PCs can purify it first. It will only last half as long, however. So, 3-1/2 days of protection for that one gem once purified.

Aureus listened intently to Rikiron's words about The Gloom and its dangers. 'What did Bastiaan say', she thinks. The androsphinx's story about the knight mentioned that the the man's squire had fallen due to the corrupting influence of the The Gloom. 'I wish we had asked him what that meant.'...

Okay, so no where in the conversation do I write the word 'taint'. But, Bastiaan did note that the lands around demiplane have been infected with the corruption of The Gloom and that the demiplane is a dangerous place that corrupts all who enter. As I noted earlier, I forgot to use the rules...

I'm not sure if I had Bastiaan hint at the idea of Taint. I'll go back and reread that part. Regardless, I'm sure that The Hermit's journal would have something to say on the matter and Caerth would have written a warning down for the characters, at the very least.

Taint-Absorbing Items

It is still very early in the day. The distance between Ralix's Cross and the barrier was only a few miles. With the horses and the extra speed that Caerth magically added to them, it would have taken you hardly any time at all to reach the barrier.

Posts have now been added. That is all for me tonight.

Part two "Yes, travelling through The Gloom will be risky. Do not eat anything that grows there or drink any water you find unless you are certain your magicks can purify what you find," Rikiron replies to Locke. "There will be creatures you encounter that will not detect as evil but that are...

This is post one of two. Rikiron first points to the battle site marked in the The Hermit's journal as Boots' Hill. "I did fly over this spot. There is a very old looking large tree there. Its limbs are twisted and covered in thorns. I did see what looked like discarded and rusted armour...

Okay, so I'm done writing my reply and will be posting it shortly. It is quite long, so I'm going to post in two parts.

I noted on the Discord that it got very cold here last night. (I woke up feeling chilled.) We're in the middle of an Extreme Cold Warning. I need to sleep more this afternoon. 🥶🥱

I posted a note on the Discord early today that I wanted to get a new IC post up tonight. It's going to have to wait until either late tomorrow night or sometime on Monday. I'm spending tomorrow with my sister and mom.

Also, a reminder that any undead that rise on the demiplane have +2 turn resistance. This is in addition to any turn resistance the creature normally has in its stats block. I'm fairly certain I mentioned this around the time the PCs were interacting with the androsphinx, Bastiaan.

I missed this line in the SRD regarding Taint: When a character casts a good spell in a tainted area, treat the caster as -1 caster level for spell effects that depend on caster level.

The Wraith: This low craggy mountain is always shrouded in a haze, even when the temperature is blistering hot or the wind is gale force. Caerth noted in The Hermit's journal that Stratesus and Boots explored the mountain's lonely peaks but found that is was haunted by wraiths and other deadly...

Here's the updated map of the Gloom. Details to be posted about the numbered locations in the next post. EDIT: And, I just realized I didn't note The Wicked Hills on the map. :rolleyes:
