Eldritch Incursion

Timeline

Various instances of An Eldritch Fissure appeared on October 28, 2016 in Forest Village, The Nearby Plains, and The Wrong Side of the Tracks (anywhere else?). It was announced by a Trivial Update: "CheeseCookie in /hardcore has reported fighting an Eldritch Tentacle somewhere in the Kingdom. Strange.". Clicking on An Eldritch Fissure resulted in a number of different messages being shown, but did not consume an adventure. Eventually, an encounter would occur with an Eldritch Tentacle, which would result in the dropping of one or more (min/max?) Eldritch Effluvium.

Messages

• You approach the shadowy fissure and hear, no feel, a whisper in the back of your mind, "The light, it's so close. We will break through soon."
• As you come near to the fissure a slimy tentacle, or a giant prehensile tongue, slides out and caresses your face. You don't make any further observations as you back away in terror.
• When you examine the fissure, visions of tentacles dance in your head. A whisper fills your mind, "You will not fear us. You do not have a word for the emotion we will evoke in you.".
• A voice slips from the fissure, "... my minions. Break through the barrier! Set me free!" You're not sure what that's all about, but maybe you'll investigate another time.
• As you examine the fissure, in the back of your mind you hear a whisper, "Come closer human. I wish to devour your soul." You decide not to go any closer.
• An overwhelming sense of dread overwhelms you as you approach the fissure. You back away, overwhelmed with ovewhelmment and overwhelming terror.
• There you are, minding your own business, when some sort of creepy eldritch fissure appears. Examining it, you're left with impressions of fear, loathing, and struggle.

Notes

• There seems to be a maximum of three encounters per day; however, the Eldritch Tentacle is a copyable monster.
