Exploration Housekeeping

Due to event interruptions, the two exploration player plot logs currently underway are being wrapped. The groups involved learned the following:

Back in July, Raine’s group explored a Pokémon nesting ground located inside an old ruin. After putting together an old mural and exploring some damaged documents, they determine the facility used to be a weather station. They take an old map away with them; it’s been eaten away by time and what looks like water damage, but there’s a road leading southeast of Union past the Coastal Valley with what might be a settlement marked on the map. This settlement’s name cannot be made out, but may begin with a P, B, or a D. What might be an “e” or a “c” features about halfway through the name.

In August, Yuuna’s group encountered some sick Rhydon in the Great Crater. They will successfully lead these Rhydon back to Union, where the Pokémon will begin to recover. The sickness cannot be determined by analyzing the Rhydon, but one of them does have a piece of some sort of corrosive black substance stuck between the rocky plates of its skin. The exploration group also discovered the area surrounding the Great Crater is blighted, reaching out into the Obsidian Flats all around. This area does not, however, appear to be spreading.

As a result of this exploration, the Great Crater is now open for bonding.
