[h1]A Giant Rises… [/h1] From his earthen tomb emerges the Fallen God, the once-feared-now-flayed titan, Pallas. His impenetrable skin long since peeled away by the giant spider Bolesh, replaced by patient vindictiveness. Your arrival and evident thirst for loot presents a unique opportunity. A gift is forged! Will you take the Blade and embrace its power?

[h3]To partake in the event:[/h3] [olist] [*] Begin the trial by visiting Pallas to wield the sword. [*] Activate the Blade's power to defeat foes. Earn a Smite buff for each foe defeated this way. [*] Change to weapons that apply debuffs. While you have Smite buffs, each time you apply a debuff extra damage is dealt and progress is made on the reward. [/olist] Explore possible combinations with other items and bring utter devastation to your enemies. At the end of the event, depending on your progress, you’ll receive an accordingly upgraded Bashing Shield as a reward. [b](Edit: To clarify some confusion, if you are unable to participate in the event, don't worry! The Lost Items promoted through Challenge Event III will simply be added to existing loot tables after it finishes, so you can grab them in-game once the event is done.)[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//30519309/771ea17300d9bbe95de1a0d9723190e6f05b5e6d.gif[/img] [h2]Game Updates[/h2] In addition to the new Lost Item and Challenge Event, this update also brings: [list] [*] Updated loot tables for all locations in order to provide rewards more aligned with time invested.

After the end of Challenge Event III we’ll quickly be jumping into this year’s Halloween Event. Much like last year’s, you can expect some seasonally spooky changes to come to the Dark World, with plenty of treats to go along with those tricks. Following that, in early November we’ll be hosting our third StoneJam! Create awesome ASCII art or flex your programming muscles and start thinking about Stonescript projects. Still figuring out how the language works? We’ve written up a Stonescript tutorial to help you get started!

Now, another missive has found its way down from Acropolis. What awaits from the metropolis above the clouds?[/i] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//30519309/07d1aa9596f383ba21a773abf6d52ef859a8c570.png[/img] [h2]Fanart and ASCII/ANSI Art![/h2] We continue to be impressed and astounded by the fantastic artwork our community has put out. Not only have we received some wonderful fanart of Stone Story RPG, we’ve also got several people in the community working within the ASCII and ANSI mediums! It truly is inspiring to see text art getting the love it deserves, and we’re happy to share these amazing pieces with all of you. These were some of our favorites from the Discord community, but there are plenty more works that these ASCII art wizards have cooked up.
