Taint.

[avian]

Fear no more citizens!
For the knights of the holy order are at hand.

We heard of your pleas against the devious taint or "Night Crawlers" as you've called it and are at hand to destroy it!

For the Emperor!

We've begun with a small outpost on top of a previously tainted site.


And we shall expand and destroy the taint.

Our weapon of Choice.
[I've pm'd Evil and he's allowed me to use this weapon.]
[And if it sucks it's not my fault. I'm bad at paint.]
[But playing around in Photoshop lead to some pretty satisfying result. If I may say so myself.]


The Lightbringer
+0 to rolls.
+5 to rolls against Taint.
It's a one handed silver blade.

Our second conquest!
We've successfully managed to reclaim and convert a ruined building into another outpost for The Holy Empire.




Good job men!
The taint has successfully been eradicated!
However.. Rumour says a new form of the Taint is emerging..
So be on your guard!

OOC: How. Do. You. Have. That. Much. Silver.

gimme.

[avian]

OOC: We found a huuge vein of Silver.
And I mean HUGE.

Give you what?

We've actually expended most of it now.
That's why there's only two outposts.
Yet there were plenty of tainted sites to build on.

OOC: A vein of silver? just like that? Dayyum

I intend to prepare a holdout area against the Taint in my old base and need to know if there's any materials other than magma which can protect our homes.

Request urgent, need answer. The wooden taint has reached it already, so the sludge may be coming soon.

Edit:
There's a provisoric defense up now. In the case you lack an area to rest at or you are being hunted by the vile Nightcrawlers, you may now rest in the second civilian Quarantine Zone. Respect its rules or be denied its protection.



Rules:
1.) NO TUNNELING WITHOUT PERMISSION. In order to maintain the security of the zone, you must not dig tunnels through which the taint could possibly spread. Violation punished by banishment and/or execution.
2.) DO NOT DIRECTLY CONNECT THE ZONE TO THE SURROUNDING AREA. The taint seems to spread only to adjacent tiles and magma seems to stop it. Violation punished by banishment and/or execution.
3.) THE AREA OUTSIDE THE WALLS BELONGS TO EVERYONE. Do not claim the area for yourself alone, as it is for all refugees seeking safety from the taint. Violators will be banished from the QZ.
