[ The feed opens with William outdoors somewhere along the coastline. ]
Hello, everyone. I have some news regarding progress on our research of the corrupted creatures.
[ He shifts aside. Erichthonios can be seen in the background along with the corpses of some of the small octopi. One of them has been carefully dissected. ]
These creatures seem to be affected by the same sort of corruption that ruined Rumpitur's farmland. The glowing stones we've found appear to cause it to retreat so I can only assume they have some kind of magical or holy power. I think if we can find more, we can use them to fight and protect ourselves as well as the people of Expiation.
Once we've figured out how to incorporate the power of these stones into our weapons or armour, I plan to move against the creature which threatened us a month ago. The people of Rumpitur told me that it returns about once a month, so we must be ready soon.
Erichthonios here can answer more detailed questions about the corruption. Meanwhile, contact me if you would like to help fight. Thank you.

Erichthonios' player will be making a top-level for people to tag shortly. [See below])

Yeah - that should work! Then we won't have to try and find more. How many do we have right now, anyway?
Now we just need a way to reliably measure the effect, right? Hmm...I might be able to do that.
[Pause. His excited tone becomes a bit more subdued.]
But...maybe without getting too close to you.

[He holds up his arm so that Erich can see the tell-tale black streaks on his hand. He looks almost apologetic.] I don't want you to get infected.

[He... probably should have realized that was what he meant.]
Yuja and I both picked up a few stones, though I gave one away last moon. Returning to the location in which we found them is also an option... though I cannot say how safe it will be at this moment, given present circumstances.

But let's try to be minimally gloomy right now. They are working on it, after all.]
Where did they come from again? A group of us that already caught it could go - then we don't have to risk anyone else.

You will see markings upon the walls if you bring a source of light with you. We chanced upon the stones during our exploration, and made sure to mark the way we walked.
