Acquire The Withering curse randomly while exploring the underdark. Area was 'The Lonely Rock'. Several players will need it's removal if this is a bug.
I very much doubt this is a bug, I think it's related to the setting. I could be wrong!
There's nothing there to indicate it's withered. There's quite literally nothing in the area, we got it exploring random destinations. Not entirely fair cop.
I think, that is you think back to some things about Ymph and EFU:M it could make a lot of sense... exploration can be dangerous!! Again, DMs can clarify better.
My PC is one of the affected ones. I hope this is a bug, to be honest.
Of course it's a bug. A typo in the area variables. Just see a DM IG to get it fixed.
