Full Weather Report | Threat Report
It's been an unusual couple of weeks as far as the weather is concerned, with a large number of thunderstorms along with warm and humid weather. This looks set to continue, so though it's not quite as hot as it has been the humidity is definitely sticking around to make everyone thoroughly miserable. If you want to get anything done and not feel like you took an inconvenient bath in the middle of the street half way through your errands, it's better to do it in the morning!
City News
Something still has the creatures in and around the city upset and it's becoming more pronounced as time goes on. A lightning strike in the middle of the woods during a thunder storm has the dryads and spriggans disturbed and the naiads in the river can't be seen playing their usual games when the weather is more pleasant. The presence of some creatures, in particular ghosts and smaller beasts, has reduced to almost nothing while wargs and wendigos are clustering in abnormally large groups on the outermost fringes of their usual territories.
Strange things are happening to the city and the areas beyond. Residents may find doors lead into incorrect rooms (or even incorrect houses) and distances seem to be longer or shorter than they ought to be. Store stocks are also being affected, with tins containing incorrect produce and fruit and vegetables appearing normal on the outside, only to be something else on the inside!
Anyone paying attention to the network at the right time may hear distant voices engaged in conversation. If they're listened closely to, they can be identified as the voices of Temper Vale, Dil Blackwood and Gene Jecklin. The source cannot be traced, however, and nothing specific can be made out.

Current and Upcoming Events
As might be guessed from the strange things described above, there's an event on the horizon! All of these peculiar happenings are leading up to - finally - the reveal of the new maps for Ruby City. You'll be getting a new city map with more space, a more aesthetically pleasing layout and several brand new buildings, as well as a map of the area outside of the city along with a rewritten locations page containing a number of new entries. The locations page will also include individual distances to each place as well as which beasties and creatures are most likely to be found in each area.
How the changeover itself will happen will be presented to you all in a post later in the week! We're very excited to see what you think.

The warning list for this month's activity check will close on Wednesday, August 13th at 11:59PM CST!
