Join eastbound, lostcompass, westwhere and comment to the TAKEN LIST within 72 hours of your acceptance note. A game-wide OOC intro / CR meme and plotting post goes up on 14 August.
All game updates are posted on lostcompass, but you can also follow eastbound. You’ll get a private message with an invite to the informal game discord server, once you comment to the Taken List.
While Eastbound is fantasy-horror geared, if you OOCly have a common trigger that is likely to make you very uncomfortable in gameplay (ex: spiders), please flag it here. Best effort will be made to content warn and avoid pictures of it in event write-ups.
While some participation is expected, your character is exempted from full activity requirements this month.
NOTES
As discussed on the mod contact page, happy for Benedict to keep his Eldritch pokemon companion!
Given Benedict’s death experience, he counts as death-touched in Akhuras — a status that will give him certain dis/advantages with the local undead. This will be flagged in event write-ups, where relevant!
Sounds great about the void portal ability accommodations and getting PC approval for picking up emotions and memories off objects, thanks! It should be fine to keep the emotions and memories radar ability active in game generally, though there might be moments when we might have to dim them or have them conveniently not pick up anything, if it’d give out the mystery du jour in a snap.
Your character receives a shiny new pocket watch pendant with a mirror inside, which serves as a translator and communicator for written, video and audio interaction. It can read out translations of messages written out in native tongues.
…you can either come up with your character’s network username, or comment here if you prefer to receive a mod-assigned punny one.
INTRO
Your character joins the party during its sojourn at the House of Manouk. He may travel with them onwards, when they escape back into the real time of Akhuras… to a place of sweet, sweet respite.
There will be certain opt-in quests available in this period — including one exclusive to newcomers. Participate in whatever you like 😊
The Merchant has his ways to barter information about his new protegees, and at time shares this knowledge with his representative to the party, the witch Karsa. Upon return to Akhuras, the Merchant sends Benedict the following letter:
Master Benedict,
I should hope you are as well as men favoured by the particulars of your circumstances may claim themselves to be. It is my privilege to steward you in this great adventure we shall agree to call your journey.
Allow me to introduce myself: I am a merchant. It is of late my trade, my profession and my passion. I treat it with utmost seriousness and professionalism. And though I am certain you have heard of many sleights of hand practised deviously by paltry sellers at a roadside market, I wish to reassure you that I have a loathing of short changing, tricks or stowaways.
ACCEPTED
Thank you for your application!

There is no need to respond to the letter.
