Hot Springs

Story so far

The hot springs in the southwest corner of the map appear as a patch note in The AI's announcement, and the note is a massacre delivered as housekeeping. The springs were found to be not as hot as they were supposed to be, so they were adjusted upward — and the adjustment accidentally cooked a good number of crawlers who were in the water at the time. Sorry about that. Those who moved in to collect the dropped gear are informed that since the error was the production's, the looted gear will be removed from their inventories immediately at the end of the message. In a related note, the lava tubes in that area are now also active, so keep that in mind if you want to play there.

The region then becomes strategically important. Katia reports that Eva has been backed into that same area of hot springs and lava tubes, that Li Na is able to track her despite her immunity to magical tracking, and that Team Meadow Lark is moving in. The terrain that just boiled a crowd of crawlers is now the closing ground of a manhunt.

Appearance

A southwest corner of steaming pools now heated to lethal temperatures, with lava tubes running live beneath and through it.

Role

A newly lethal region of the floor, scene of an accidental mass killing and the corner Eva has been driven into.
