About this environment

A jungle full of every possible disease, under the control of the cult of pestilence god (Manasa, Nurgle, Apollo, Sekhmet, Hel,…). You need to cross the jungle to get to (or run away from?) the cult’s temple and stop their ritual. The effect of diseases are mechanically counted as Stress going up, eventually into HP and death moves.
