Blight
Blight is a condition caused by exposure to Malice. It poisons the land and water, infecting all living beings.
Characters may become blighted during certain events. This is known as the Blight Sickness.
Characters can currently be healed from their Blight Sickness by Oracles, Dragons, and Sages.
If a character is not immediately healed from their Blight Sickness, they run the risk of getting sicker. The stages and symptoms are illustrated below.
Members with blighted characters will get the blighted role.
If a member misses a day of rolling, their character automatically moves on to the next stage of the sickness.
Blight Sickness
Stage 1:
Infected areas appear like blight-colored bruises on the body. Side effects include fatigue, nausea, and feverish symptoms.
At this stage it can be cured by having one of the sages, oracles or dragons heal you.
Stage 2:
Infected areas spread inside and out, and the blight begins traveling towards vital organs. Fatigue fades but nausea typically persists. Infected now experience an increase in physical strength.
This can still be healed by sages, oracles and dragons.
Stage 3:
Visible infected areas and feverish symptoms fade. Frequent nosebleeds and sputum have a malice-like appearance and can infect others.
The infected experiences hallucinations, further increased strength, and aggressive mood swings. Monsters no longer attack.
You can only be healed by oracles or dragons.
Stage 4:
All outward signs of infection have subsided - except the eyes. Infected individual's eyes now look like the eyes of Malice.
At this stage vital organs begin to fail, and all sense of self is replaced by an uncontrollable desire to destroy. Any contact with bodily fluids risks infecting others.
You can only be healed by dragons at this stage.
Stage 5: Death.
Rolling for Blight
Any characters infected with Blight Sickness will need to roll every day that they are infected, until they are healed. These rolls will determine if the sickness will get worse or stay the same.
Instructions for Rolling:
1st, Wait for the timed bot message that will let you know when each 24hr rolling period begins, at 8pm EST every evening.
2nd, use the bot command /blight roll for the blighted character in order to see what the outcome is.
And then you are done until the following day.
If you miss or skip a roll, you automatically progress to the next stage!
All Blight Commands:
The Tinglebot has a variety of commands for blight that are necessary for healing:
/blight roll: This command is used for rolling blight progression. If this is missed, the blight progresses to the next stage automatically.
/blight heal: This command is used for requesting healing for a character's blight. Detailed further below, this will request that an Oracle, Dragon, or Sage will heal a character in exchange for completing a task.
/blight submit: Once you have your healing task, this is how you formally submit your items, art, or writing that may have been asked of you. Once submitted properly, your character's blight will be healed.
/blight history: See the past history of blight on a character.
/blight roster: See the list of currently blighted characters.
Blight Healing
To have your character healed, you must be in the same village as the character you want to be healed by. Healing requests must be done in the #community-board channel. Each Dragon, Oracle, and Sage have different requirements for healing! These requirements can range from art being drawn, to written submissions, an offering, and/or the player's full amount of held tokens. In order to request blight healing, please use the bot command /blight heal in order to select your blight healer in the #community-board channel.
Until the requirement is met and submitted, your character will stay blighted and still need to roll every day.
Multiple OCs can be healed by the same Dragon, Oracle, or Sage.
Note: Healing requirements vary in difficulty depending who is requested, Sages being fairly simple, Oracles being a bit harder, and Dragons being the most difficult to fulfill. Be careful not to take blight so lightly.
Your character will not be considered healed until the agreed upon offering (art/writing/materials, etc) has been completed and mod approved. Your character will have to roll every day until this is completed. The character in question needs to stay in the village they are being healed in/requested healing in until healing is complete!
Once you have finished your given task, you must then use /blight submit in the #community-board channel to formally turn it in. As soon as this is done, your character will be blight free!
