L24.183 Soreflesh Ascetics

-

 A group of ascetics devoted to the path of the Soresaint - said to have attained a transcendent physique through a rigorous process of self mutilation by strike one's body against bark repeatedly until sores formed, followed by meditating within pools of natural acid to cause these sores to be maintained and hardened to the point they form a layer of protection across the body. 

Due to the lack of a consistent scripture - as the Soresaint never spoke a word - there are many schools of Soreflesh across the Spoke which interpret the asceticisms of the Soresaint differently. The largest of these schools is the Brairflesh Sect, which recommends drinking a concoction of highly concentrated Bramblemint whilst attempting to withstand damage from jumping down great heights, which is recorded by many to cause the development of bristly soreflesh - one of the sacred characteristics of the Soresaint's body.

These master riders seek larger prey from hunting Mudtoads at the lower strata of the Stalks.

Untamed Wilds - Session 1

Hi there! This is my first solo-RPG log that I made using RStudio and RMarkdown, building upon RPGTips' R library for various handy tools that make creating Solo RPG logs a breeze. As RPGTips' original library was modified recently to probably remove copyrighted stuff, I decided to build my own set of tools to facilitate my games, while using some of the tools that remain in his library. If anyone wants to use my tools, do let me know in the comments and I will try to set up a Github repository to share it. The character I am playing was first used to playtest one of the adventures I designed "Caverns of Ublad" that I am currently running on Rolegate, so I will probably avoid sharing that adventure for now since it might lead to spoilers for the players. As for the system, I am using an original system that I devised for fun and plan on building it and adding my own artwork and publishing it for free someday for everyone's enjoyment.

L24.7 Scintrose

-
 A terrible illness which causes flower-like marks to form on the skin of the infected. These flower-like marks emit colored light which is considered a bad omen by many civilisations save those of the Shrouded Nest whose Saintess was said to have Scintrose across and within her body. As the disease advances, the marks become more detailed, until the point actual Brightflowers actually bloom upon the skin of the infected. At this point the flowers release an infectious pollen which spreads by air to infect others.
