Changes
- Wortox

- The cost of souls is proportional to the distance travelled.
- There are visual indicators to show cost increases.
- Wortox will now be able to Soul Hop a second time for free if done within a short time of the last.
- Wortox will get slightly more hunger from eating souls.
- Wortox will gain a small amount of sanity for being healed by a soul.
- Wortox Souls now only heal hurt players and have more diminishing returns when healing groups of hurt players.
- Wortox will be able to Soul Hop to past explored locations through the Map.
- The Wortox who deals the killing strike is guaranteed at least one soul.
- This is intended to help prevent fighting for nearby souls when souls are being created but prevents boss soul drops from being fully claimed
