1.5 — The way home: an ancient temple and the town of Ashford

Everyone has asked the same thing since day one: can I go home? 1.5 is the answer.

The ancient temple

Deep in the stone lands lies a temple holding a broken rift machine. It takes 10 iron bars, 15 crystal shards, 3 star metal and a rift core, and friends can chip in. Put the last part in and the Temple Guardian wakes.

Ashford

Mend the machine and warp to Ashford, your hometown, pulled through the rift whole: broken towers, wrecked cars, and three survivors (Elder Wilma, Theo the mechanic and Lina the guard) who tell you, a little at a time, what happened.

• Rebuild the town house by house from the board in the square.
• The void attacks every 5 days: monsters climb up over the island’s edge.
• Ancient tablet shards: have Theo decipher them; six give the coordinates of a new world.

Falling stars

Some clear nights bring a meteor shower. Mine the star metal for star armor, and sharpen your sword up to +4.
