an update to the combat system
For this hunt, we are trying out something new! In addition to your mage's base damage output (which you can read about here), every 10 gold counted for a piece of art, writing, or roleplay, will earn another +1 damage.
This means if your mage does 5 damage based on their stats, but your attack is worth 40 gold, they will deal an additional +4 damage. This is calculated before the double event bonus is applied.
If you have any questions about this or need help calculating your damage, write to us via Modmail or in #ask-staff and we will be happy to help!
new prizes
While we try this out, we also decided to update the prizes for participating and dealing the most damage:
- ALL PARTICIPATING MAGES receive +2 to their choice of Power or Discipline.
- THE MAGE WHO DOES THE MOST DAMAGE receives the Killing Blow badge, is the slayer of the beast and receives +100 Gold, +1 Corruption, and their choice of scroll or amulet from the shop.
- SECOND PLACE MAGE receives +75 Gold, and their choice of scroll or amulet from the shop.
- THIRD PLACE MAGE receives +50 Gold, and their choice of scroll or amulet from the shop.
monster description
After a cruel life and a final brush with Fortune, the mage formerly known as Yuriel has succumbed to corruption and melted away into a large beast of dripping silver and black bone.
The beast is tall and lanky, but there is no elegance to its dragging movements. Pools of a silvery ink-like substance sloughs off its body, leaving a beautiful, glittering track to follow for any pursuer. It is a treacherous beauty, though, as the substance seems highly corrosive and leaves silvery scars on whatever it touches.
It carries a smell of salt and day-old fish, and the floating shape above its back is reminiscent of an eye, with long fangs for eyelashes. Eyewitnesses say it is the size of a large barn.
monster abilities
The Silver Scourge drips a toxic, corrosive substance that slowly seems to seek out and flow towards anyone who comes near. Those exposed to it for a long time may turn sick.
The large eye above it is constantly moving. When it catches something in its gaze, the sharp eyelashes will extend into spears that rain down on the target.
monster behavior and location
Despite its slow movements, the Scourge can move with surprising speed for short distances, suddenly lunging forward or lashing out with its horn and tail.
It does not seem to recognise speech, except for sweet words, which lulls it into stillness for a while before it shakes off the effects of it and turns hostile.
It is currently located somewhere along the coast, south of Faline (but not in, or near, the city itself) slowly moving southwards, skirting the shoreline but avoiding deep water.
monster combat bonuses
- The monster is easy to distract. Mages working in groups of 3 or more deal +1 damage. (Applies to collabs and roleplay)
- Attacking from a distance or using an Elemental Blast Scroll deal +1 damage.
- Those with an Minor Healing Scroll deal +1 damage.
- Attacking while in water deals +1 damage.
- Mages with powers pertaining to metal, electricity, or sound/voice are at an advantage, and deal 2x damage. Applied to the base stat point damage, before gold damage is added.
- Due to the danger of the silver substance, powers that require touch or very close contact are at a disadvantage, and deal ½x damage. Applied to the base stat point damage, before gold damage is added.

⚔🛡🏆 How does this work?
The monster described above is rampaging through Ivras! It is up to the Mages of Anathema to stop it. Only mages can damage monsters.
Every piece of art, writing or roleplay made for this event featuring Mage characters counts as an "attack" on the monster. the damage your mage does is based on their stats and the monster's weaknesses; read the Hunt Guide for more info! Attacks for this hunt should be posted here. The event runs at least two weeks, and then ends when the monster's HP is lowered to 0.
This monster has 260 HP. A grace period of 4 days will be allowed for submissions when it hits 0 HP, so works in progress can be completed. Check this profile for the most up-to-date look at the monster's HP.

prompt one: all that glitters
Your character is currently in a small fishing village, some leagues south of Faline. As they are walking down the steep path to the shore and the sea, a southern wind picks up. It smells... strange. Salty, and fishy, but there is an undertone of something metallic, almost acrid. When they reach the sandy cliffs down by the water, they notice large puddles of something glittering among the gravel. It seems to be a silvery substance, shimmering in the sunlight, and the smell seems to come from the strange tracks.
When they raise their gaze to look up, for a moment they are blinded by the sun shining off a great beast of silver, slowly shambling down the coastline. A large eye-like shape, floating over its back, seems to shift its gaze restlessly. Suddenly, it focuses on your character, and large silver spikes emerge around it, ready to attack.

prompt two: silver vapors
Your character manages to avoid getting speared by the monster's silver spikes, and other mages seems to have arrived, making the Silver Scourge shift its attention from your character.
The pools of metallic substance on the ground glitter and ooze in the sunlight, the vapors emanating from them causes light-headedness and nausea.
There are already a few dead fish floating, belly-up, where the stuff has trickled into the water. A few miles south of here, there is another fishing village. This can't be good—someone ought to warn them.

Hello! A few notes: unfortunately, Yuriel doesn't fill the requirements for a bust ("Head and neck must be entirely visible"), and I'd say the background is a Complete background rather than an Environmental one, as it's missing a few components (multiple components, visible perspective). I'm also not sure what the Accessories (?) bonus is referencing.
Please correct this and then I'll get gold and damage logged!
