August Monthly Mod Post

August Monthly Post

As the day dawns, there’s something different. Waking up (or at exactly midnight if you’re not sleeping), there’s a now familiar ping and then a blue panel:

Stratum 1: Emerald Grove, F2 UNLOCKED!


Opening the menu, you now find a new option unlocked: MAP

Clicking ‘MAP’ gives you a map of the first floor of the Yggdrasil Labyrinth and on it, somewhere near the back, there is an icon indicating a set of stairs going down. If you had been in that spot previously, there would have only been a dead end. Go there now and you will find a set of stairs going lower.

As you step into the second floor, you will find that the map for this area is completely blank...and you will also find new things to explore...




Here is August’s Monthly Mod Post! As of this post, Floor 2 is now unlocked for characters to explore! There are also the very first Quests available at the Golden Deer Pub! Just talk to Fontayne to see them! Remember that Quests along with Labyrinth Encounters are listed under ‘This Month Only’ because they are only available this month! Enemy information and Scavengable Items remain forever. Labyrinth Information Page will list information that is consistent every month.

The form for Activity Check this Month is here still and the spreadsheet for checking it is here. We will continue to only ask for half AC since our numbers are still very low.

For anyone who might be concerned that the only other event so far is very similar to the sort of stuff listed in this post, in the future every new floor will be similar to this format with events being related to certain quests but different from our first event.


Floor 2 Information:
Notable enemies:
Some mole like creatures with poison claws can cause poison effects.

FOE:
Ragelope: a monster that looks like a monster deer. This monster wanders the floor sedately but will chase after any attackers. There are three Ragelope on floor 2, if you wish to fight this FOE, feel free to do so. However, if you want to defeat one of these FOE, please contact a mod and we will let you know what the requirements are.

Scavengable Items (aka things you can find lying around without fighting things):
Blue Clover that when eaten makes you giggle uncontrollably.
A ceramic ocarina which seems to attract cats when played




August Only:
Labyrinth Encounters
ENCOUNTER: Two magical statues, one always tells the truth and the other always lies. Behind them is three chests: one with treasure and the other two with monsters. There is only one key in the clearing that can open any of the chests but can only be used one time.

Quests
Go to the Golden Deer Pub to receive quests! Fontayne will let you know that as per Expedition HQ requirements, quest can only be undertaken by parties of two or more people! No dungeon diving on your own is allowed.

Quest 1: A guarded aristocrat named Alian seeks a company of adventurers to discover the fate of a caravan of exotic goods lost in the Labyrinth. All he wants back is the gold-edged flag hanging on the side that he says is a family heirloom.

Success Conditions: Find the remains of the caravan in Floor two and bring back the flag!
Failure Conditions: Don’t bring back anything. Or bring back things other than the flag.

Quest 2: One of the visiting merchants are deeply interested in learning more about the different creatures in the Yggdrasil Labyrinth. Hearing rumors of a new type of monster resembling a reindeer, she wants someone to go in and make a sketch of the creature. Once characters are close enough to a Ragelope a timer will show up once it runs down a sketch will mysteriously appear on the paper you were given! The sketch will only be as good as the combined art skill of whoever went on the quest. But watch out, if the Ragelop gets too far the timer will stop then restart...but get too close and you’ll be attacked!

Success Conditions: Get a sketch of the Ragelope!
Failure Conditions: Fail to get a sketch or get trampled by the Ragelope!

Quest 3: There’s a new species of mole in Floor 2 with poisoned tipped claws. Ceft is requesting samples of this poison for research purposes and she’s given you an extraction kit...which is basically a glass vial with some plastic covering it. Just get the mole to pierce the plastic with their claws and venom will drip into the vial. For those taking on this quests, moles will not disappear immediately upon being defeated so you will need to deal with a possibly angry mole! Two people are required to do this quest, one to hold the mo

Success Condition: collect a vial of mole poison!
Failure condition: don’t collect enough poison or collecting poison from the wrong creature.


Quests should be reported here.
