Slugpox
Slug Pox
Debuff afflicting Carl after the temple blast, contained but not cured by the Emberus Ring.
Story so far
Slugpox is one of the debuffs riding Carl out of the Temple of Khepri blast. As he heals himself back together, the Emberus Ring catches up and contains several debuffs including the slugpox — but only for a while.
It flares again during the corridor confrontation; Carl notes with relief mid-fight that at least the slugpox has stopped once more, even as the Screaming Worms and his unbendable knees continue to plague him.
Role
A recurring debuff that intermittently reasserts itself during Carl's escape.
