OP responds:
>Have been petting and feeding our horsies?
Yes, and there are several horses on the expedition so they are meeting new friends
>On absorbing aberrance.
When I said everything has a soul I don’t mean they have useful one.
A elf might give you 5-9 aberrance, a tree might give you 0,1 and a stone 0,005. Animals can give you 0.1 – 2.
Nothing will give you absolute 0 but well damn near it, I spent a lot of time making this world a big unfair mess. There are no easy choices.
>If we absorb enough, can we increase aberrance to 2?
The aberrance stat is not how much you can have is how much you can hold.
You could absorb the soul from someone and have 8 aberrance but by the end of the day it will have trickled back to 1.
>Can we attempt to drain a tree away from camp if we have the chance?
Yes, in future down time you can spend it training and learning how to do it.
>On a similar vein of thought, do rot eaters give aberrance?

GAME OF DISTORSION (3/3 road events); the crash, the blood and the monster.
You woke up and got ready for the last part of the journey.
Having presented Flora as a victim of the witch bit you in the ass when you realized you had to leave her behind with the expedition.
You ordered her to behave and asked Hildra to keep an eye on her since she could wrestle her out of any situation.
The road was peaceful for the most part.
Emilia had the brilliant plan on challenging David to a push up contest and exhausted himself, that way he would spend the rest of the trip quietly resting.
And when the forest ended and the path between the mountains began, you expected something.
a military blockade, some ruins, some grand structure that parted the stone.
Something that would make a transition between the ash desert and the green that you have been traveling for so long.
You only found a well-defined line where the barren land began.
And a ravine opening that was the only way forward.
It's been about a week since you escaped from this place, and it seemed like it had gotten more hostile since then.
But the land had not changed, you had just become unaccustomed it.
“The demons call to us, I can hear their churches.” David was the first to notice.
Once the blue sky was left behind, you could all hear the faint sound of bells in the eerie silence.
You all agreed to ignore it.
It was better to not think of it.
You also ignored the tire tracks in the soil, you prayed they were something else.
Once you exited the ravine you saw the wasteland in all its barren glory.
And a kilometer down the road you could see something not so gray.
Ihlist took out a spyglass that wouldn’t look out of place in a pirate’s movie.
“We have a problem.” It said, passing it to you.
