[Weekly Downtime Thread][Summer II 1525 HC]

Please post any of your downtime activities below. You can find the full rules for downtime here . You can find last week's downtime thread here. Always remember to be specific about what downtime action you are taking! If you're leveling up type that in your post labeled as OOC! If you're looking into an item be specific about where that item is from, what mission, when you got it, who from, etc. If you write "I read that book I found" the DM is likely to have no clue what you are talking about. If you are learning a language, or tool make sure to write down how many weeks you have been practicing! This lowers the DC, and gives advantage depending on the number of weeks. Also a reminder that players only get one main downtime action per week.

Dragomir The Black Drago stays in Drachenward under Larmedylth tutorage. Her training with raw Mebhaighl in the spirit realm pushes Drago passed what he thought possible and into the 4th circle of magic. He understands a little better how the connection between the two realms flows and connects. Upon achieving this he would ask Larmedylth is she could see he gets permanent permission to access this circle of magic why in Drachenward to keep up his practice and promises not to enter this realm without her aid. Drachenward still has funds to continue construction. Drago arrives back at the Cohort however has a letter in hand. He gives it Leana Stillborne and begs to give it to the Kallanon, its really important. The letter is unsealed. When she reads it she will understand.  OOC: Major: Level up 7, Minor: Action giving a letter to the Leana Stillborn for the Kallanon.  Drago's Tower: 3/5 6000/8000g  To Kallanon, The Council and Leana Stillborne The Scarlett Devil Hey, I’m writing this as I believe the Void dragon is a greater threat than first thought. After spending time with Larmedylth in Drachenward I believe the Void Dragon is a servant of the Primordial Dragon, Tiamat and the void dragon is working towards its release. Larmedylth is worried and even I can see it, we think the Brass Dragon Nyskira has met the Void Dragon back in Binasda and was killed during the engagement. I would suggest checking is the dragon bones of a Long Bow of a cohort member, one Sithric. It was made from the corpse that was found in south of Binasda and maybe can be confirmed that of the Brass Dragon. As you may know, all the dragons fought against the Primordial Dragon and was the only time they were united. I don’t think the Brass Dragon is Nyskira and based on the reports from the logs it appears the Void Dragon has the ability to corrupt, enthrall or worse… Nyskira kobold’s where worshiping the symbol for the Primorial under the mountain. Worship in this manner always has power. The death of dragons may not be from bodies but their souls. We know Primordials capture the souls of those they kill as the cohort member currently trapped. If the void dragon is fighting its kind this could be why and with each victory, it’s getting closer.  I can’t prove any of this but I believe there is now enough information that this is now a matter for the Council! Larmedylth told me how strong this primordial is and if it gets released I don’t believe there will be anything we can do. Until proved otherwise the Void Dragon should be treated as Tiamats Primordial Servant. The golden egg of  Ki-rin  should be looked at for Primoridal Corruption after its encounter with the Void Dragon. Please like look into this yourself I really want to be wrong about this.  "Official Member: Adventure" Dragomir The Black.  Orithar Trisk Before leaving the Margeve Orithar checks back in with the Pink Kolbold to see if she has any leads on acquiring that book "Ley Lines" under special order. Back in the Cohort Orithar speak with Salazar and hires him as a spokesperson given Salazar's natural talent for it. He spends his time reading. The first being "The History of Magic by Elder Rex" The book is bound in dried human flesh, and simply has the titled molded onto it." Looking for any information on ley lines he could use to start learning to steal. The second book he will read is Dr. Harding's Guide to Magic Science with the aid of magical reading. To see if the little one was lying about its contents. At the end of his stay, Orithar checks back in with the Pink Kolbold to see if she has any leads on acquiring that book under special order.  OOC: Major Action: The History of Magic by Elder Rex Minor Action: Reading the book from Cordi Dr. Harding's Guide to Magic Science, to see how to modify spells.  Fenris Nathair  Takes a break from the hustle and bustle of life. Fenris ends out the forest trying to get back to the harsh reality aspect of nature. Practicing tracking and hunting and enjoying and peace and quiet of a solo hunt and life away from civilization.  OOC: Training Survival Skill. 90gold cost for a trainer but just adding it as being alone in the forest as fluff. 

Cedrych Cedrych spends time getting Taefenael accustomed to life at the Cohort. Knowing that she will eventually have access to the logs, he comes clean about their initial plan to sell her out to Mhistecai. He stresses to her that once he became aware of what was at stake, he had no intention of turning her over to the wizardess. If she wills it, Cedrych will accompany Taefenael to the Sielwode to speak with Lady Galanohel and plead her case. Salazar Salazar travels to Pipryet (Poor Lifestyle). When he arrives, he inquires about the Magian and where he holds court. He travels to the Magian’s castle and attempts to acquire an audience. If granted, he speaks in Vos and says something to this effect: “Oh wise and powerful Magian. I, Salazar di Fioretti, stand before you with a humble request to share in your great knowledge. But first, I have heard that you have a penchant for the unusual and the arcane. If you’ll permit, I would like to show you something that you may find curious.” If permitted, Salazar produces the Drum of Undeath and begins to play it softly. “Tell me, do you or the clerics of your court have the means to detect the undead? I ask that you cast it upon me.” If not, he volunteers to let someone feel his pulse. Once that is done and they have verified that Salazar is not undead, he stops playing the drum. “And what do you see now? This drum was enchanted by a powerful Bard who wove necromancy into his music. Now, it and my heart are entwined, beating as one.” If it seems that the Magian is pleased or intrigued by this, Salazar moves on to his request. “And now, for my request. It is known that you have written a great treatise on the Leylines of Cerilia. I humbly request that you allow me to purchase a copy of this great work from you so that I may better understand the magics of this land.” OOC: Try to get a copy of “the Leylines” from the Magian. Salazar has the Court Functionary feature from the Courtier background if that helps him get an audience. He has +10 to persuasion to aid with the request, and if the leylines allow it, will cast Enhance Ability (Charisma) prior to the meeting. During the audience, he uses insight to try to deliver his request in a manner that pleases the Magian (i.e. more or less flattery). He’s willing to pay up to 1000g for a copy of the book, or access to it for long enough to make his own copy. If the Magian will not accept the coin, he inquires if there is a task that he may perform in lieu of payment. Kazimir After handing off his log, Kazimir stays at the Last Hope to attend to Lady Mispera. He keeps Detect Poison and Disease and Lesser Restoration prepared, using the former daily to assess the Lady's health. Once a week, he casts Lesser Restoration on her to ease her symptoms and hopefully buy her more time. He insists that the Lady confer no more boons or perform any unnecessary magic that may weaken her. When he is not tending to Lady Mispera, he does his best to pull his own weight (and then some) around the Keep. Unless one already exists, he spends his first few days setting up a makeshift forge. He uses Artisan's Blessing to create bellows and an anvil from any scrap metal, raw or, or spare coin the denizens of the Keep have to spare. He also volunteers the use of Artisan's Blessing to transmute coin or raw materials into any supplies the people of the Last Hope may need. OOC: If tending to Lady Mispera can count toward leveling up, Kasimir levels up(needs 640xp). However, if he lacks the necessary XP, or if caring for her would be a major action in itself, he prioritizes her health over his own training.

Korak (Leveling up if log Gets me 240xp) After the near loss of his friends Korak will head back to the temple he was originally trained at. He goes into Deep prayer, almost in a zombie like state. He goes through the trials of Moradins chosen once again and begins to understand some of the ancient teachings from his master and all come into a culmination when he is able to cast Divination and receive an answer from one of his deity's great followers. For whatever question he asked the answer was to watch over the two blessed by Moradin. When receiving his answer he continues onto Roseone to check up on the others progress and continue his training.  (Minor action, Animal Friendship) Throughout the downtime after arriving to Roseone Korak will persuade and collect unique fluffy animal friends, persuading them with salt or sugar cubes to try and cheer up Medi and Prudence in the best way he knows. He approaches them with the cutest fluffy and scaled friends that he makes during his spare time so the two have something to take their minds off of recent events and maybe even gain a new little friend.  Hedrin  (Learning Midguardian week 2) Hedrin enjoys time with the Minotaur people and finds a mother figure in the clothing shop keep  Zylara  with how she dotes on small children, constantly giving her hugs and going out shopping with her albeit on Hedrins dime enjoying the food and interesting items Zobek has to offer. Depending on how far along Hedrin gets with his training he talks to  Zylara and asks if she knows any good hearted Minotaur people that would want to go out and adventure in new and different lands and if she could put the word in for the boy with her people or even persuade them to join the Cohort. Aside from this Hedrin puts on a little weight with all the lunch dates with his new "mom". He also stops by to take a look at Cordies new castle and use her for translation once in awhile if he is having trouble with midguardian still.  (Minor Book shopping) Hedrin will stop at the pink kobolds book shop and look around for books on magic relating to storms wind and lightning and if nothing is found will just grab a fun looking book and use it to help learn to read Midguardian.  Tal Thrum (Learning Low Brecht week 2 from Lady Mispera or any other language they do not share if this is unavailable) Tal finds a kindred heart in Mispera, another caretaker trying to do their best to keep the ship afloat. He stays to help Kazimir keep an eye on her while Kaz is busy with other things, making sure she keeps from using unnecessary magic. He asks her to finish teaching him Low Brecht in Kazimirs stead while he takes care of her, though it is quite obvious he is more interested in talking to her about their situation and the similarity between the Last Hope and the Turay Orphanage that he runs and asks how Lady Mispera came to be the mistress of this group in the first place. He spends more time talking to her than studying most of their sessions and enjoys his time with her.  (Minor Action, Cooking and Childcare) Tal will use the sweets and berries he carries around with his rations and any spare ingredients laying around to make a nice snack for any children around the fort and will make some honeyed tea for Lady Mispera to ease her cough as he does for the kids back home when the flu is going around. Aside from this he just takes some weight off of the parents while they stress over their Mistress. 

Diesa Gemfire Location: Bardenhold, in the Barony of Roesone Diesa spends her time at the home of the Duskharts at the invitation of Agatha and finds herself remembering the Festival and the Battle of Traitors demise last year. She checks in on Prudence and Medi as they recover from their resurrection but otherwise gives the pair their space unless asked, more usually spending time with Agatha, listening if she needs to vent, or talking if she wants a distraction. Major: Spending so much time in Anuire, among anuirean-speakers she finds herself having trouble talking to anyone outside the group, when Agatha offers to tutor her on the language she is happy to accept and starts to pick up a few terms. (Learning Anuirean language from Agatha, 1st downtime attempted) Minor: As thanks for agreeing to be 'sacrificed' to help them escape the Wendigo she lets her familiar Baharaditana to roam freely in the Erebannien Galena Abanâthu Location: Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, on the Isle of Fabrica Galena and her party brings almost the entire clan of the Serpentine Lamia back to the Cohort with them after the latest terrifying appearence of the Void Dragon, as well as the golden egg of Kieran(The Ki-Rin). She sees to getting them somewhere safe and comfortable to stay, working with Amara to make their stay goes well and acting as their agent, enforcer, problem solver, procurer, whatever they need, hoping Matriarch Habivi will take note and reconsider to adopting her despite not being a lamia. As well as taking the egg to the Council and explaining the situation and asking for their advice on raising a celestial-dragon. Major: Galena does spend some time with Nim and Mamm again, trying to get the hang of cookin. While spending time with them she is noticably quieter than usual and the air of casual cheeriness she had the last month seems forced rather than natural this time. (3rd Downtime spent attempting to gain proficiency in Cooking Utensils - (Has Jack of All Trades, +1 to ability checks if relevant) Minor: While working with Nim in the kitchens she shows Nim some of the herbs theyre using have others uses besides tasting good and shows her to mash them up and prepare them in such a way that when combined with other herbs or "herbs" they can make helpful poultices or simple potions. (Teaching Nim proficiency in Herbalist's Kit) Aubrae Trevelyan Location: The Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, on the Isle of Fabrica Major: Research - With her dedication or power having gained the service of a celestial spirit some while ago to serve as her steed, and not having anything too pressing for the time being to occupy her, Aubrae take a couple of weeks to browse through the cohort's academic resources. She searches the books and scrolls of the libraries religious lore section as well as tomes on magical summoning for information on the origin and nature of what are known as celestials and their link with the gods.

Medi Eirwen Location: Bardenhold - Abbatour, Roseone Weak and shaky on her feet after the ordeals of Morrendeep, Medi wouldn't have the strength to resist being taken back to Bardenhold even if she had wanted to. She spends her time trying to rest and recover: walking in the forests, bathing in natural pools, feeling the cool night air on her skin as she watches the stars... usually with Prudence, where possible. She'd have to fight the guilt of feeling responsible for her death pretty often, but knowing that Prudence made that choice herself, for her, made it easier to manage. What isn't easy for her to manage is the fact that her nightmares start evolving. Similar to before, she finds herself dying helplessly with her friends around her, though in some she sees Prudence rush to her side to heal her only to be struck down by a monstrous creature, usually the Wendigo, before it turns and slashes her to pieces to join her. In others she sees her sister reaching out a hand to save her, though as she takes it she looks up in horror to see Teresa's face split in an impossibly wide, jagged maw twisted in an insane grin, her eyes fused into a massive single one, staring gleefully down at her as she turns to dust and breaks apart. She repeatedly apologises to anyone whose sleep gets disturbed by these occurrences. While thinking of a way to help Prudence and the others feel better Medi recalls all the stories from reports of Torova Temylatin, the living forest that covers it, and the new reports of the wondrous city of Zobeck. Thinking this sounds like a great place to potentially relax and distract themselves, Medi suggests this idea to her friends and sends a message back to the Cohort asking for someone familiar with their language, Midgardian, to come to Abbatour and attempt to tutor her ahead of the trip. (OOC - Major Action: Learing Midgardian [Attempt 1], Minor Action: Resting off her Death Penalty 1/4) Cordie Location: Wytch Tower, The Margreve. Having acquired Still Tower, Cordie basically moves in to oversee the start of the work required to bring it up to be fit for her purposes. She makes frequent trips into the city to hire contractors and workmen, spending a sum of gold now and resolves to deal with the rest once she can afford it. She sends a letter to Korak, back at the Cohort, requesting his services for a hat commission for her new apprentice. Managing the tower keeps her fairly busy, but in her spare time she uses her new location to help out members like Orithar and Hedrin operate around Zobeck by translating for them and, provided they agree to help her work on her tower any way they can, will not mis-translate in any harmful ways. (OOC - Major Action: Starting work on her tower [1000/4000gp Spent, Week 1]. Minor Action: Acting as a translator in Zobeck for Cohort members.) Saorise Auliffe Location:  Cohort Arcanum, Isle of Fabrica Saorise spends most of her time hiding under her bed, jumping at basically everything for fear of the Void Dragon.

Ant Location: Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, Fabrica Ant is in high spirits as he moves in with Portia, appreciates Portia bringing a feminine charm to brighten up his basic quarters. He doesn't mind the mess at all. In fact he finds everything she does either cute, enchanting or... stimulating. Portia asks him for help naming the monkey, and after a bit of back and forth on ideas, Portia goes for his suggestion of Abrek. While Portia is out doing her research, Ant will go out and collect some more flowers to adorn their home, using Plum Port bottles as vases. He'll also clean up Portia's mess to make sure it doesn't get too messy. Ant and Portia agree to start spending a little more on living expenses, wanting to have a nicer place to spend their time together. Ant will take the time to find a sailor's hat matching his own, for Portia as a gift. She looked quite fetching when she playfully wore his hat once, so he knows it'll suit her. In his spare time, he continues to teach Vincent Heron Aquan. (Major Action: Move In With Portia and do housework. Minor Action: Teach Vincent Heron Aquan.) (Also upgrade living expenses to Modest) Mamm Bealdaartsdotter Location: Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, Fabrica Upon returning back from Morrendeep, Mamm seems to enjoy her time with Nim even more than before, with a far greater smile on her face. She enjoys watching over Nim and Galena while they teach each other. Dragomir asks Mamm if she can him a basket of Blueberry muffins. She says yes. When Drago asks how much it would cost, she says the cost of ingredients. She buys twice as many ingredients so she can make some for Nim and Galena. Making different types, some of them extra sweet. and gives Drago a basket full.  (Major Action: Cook a bunch of Blueberry Muffins. Minor Action: Watch over Nim and Galena. Skag Polovich Location: Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, Fabrica Skag hides.

Elusive - making connections to create better maps for the Cohort Dyer Byon - making connections to create Alchemical items or work leather for Cohort members

Veilitos Aidous Veil spends most of his time training whenever he can.  Casting cantrips to do menial tasks like cool thing or heat things or grab stuff off shelves.  He spends time training with martial people as well, learning how to shield himself and make himself more difficult to hit. OOC: Major action - leveling up to 3 Zero Odeh Zero continues trying to learn how to perceive things good.  Even on their missions this week he and Sithric would try to provoke higher observance and investigation by play "eye spy".  Other people in the group were quite a bit better at spotting things though. OOC: Major action - learning perception, Minor action - teaching investigation

Lindal Lindal will return to the monastery where he was raised.  A: To offer his services in helping with duties around the monastery trying to earn a little money if he can.  And B: To pray to Kirken after the events of his last mission, seeking guidance and reassurance that he is following the correct path, and that his actions are not angering Kirken.  Or that his recent failures are not signs that he is failing Kirken by his actions. OOC he will be taking advantage of his Shelter of the Faithful to stay at the monastery. Shlar Shlar will again search the necromancy books to find a spell to allow him to raise lesser undead if he can find such a spell.  If he does he will add it to his spell book.

Thugnuck Researches Star Metal in the Library by going through Dwerren histories and professional books on mining and blacksmithing Knuckles TBD Brbl Looks for a trainer in Midguardian language in his homeland.

Eirena Lightshadow After returning to the Cohort, Eirena will exhaustedly return to the room she and Savas shared and just sleep for almost a day, until Nasaadi wakes up her maternal instincts by pulling at the dagger she always wears in her left bracer. She opens her eyes up and sees the toddler attempting to swing it around and charges forward, quickly snatching it out of it's hands, careful not to hurt the toddler in the process. She stares at the door she had left open and puts her palm to her face. She will then comfort the sort of shocked Nasaadi, explaining that she shouldn't be playing with sharp toys like that. But in that moment, she realizes that the child kind of reminded her of her younger self. She will sigh slightly and promise to suprise her tomorrow with something less dangerous but very fun. She will do some small scale sword practice with the toddler, if she is interested enough. With woodens swords she would've purchased the next morning, teaching her how to hold a sword and strike properly. Obviously it won't be a miracle talent at first, but if Nasaadi has fun with it, Eirena will be glad to spend time like this. When she isn't however relishing in the time spent with Savas or looking after Nasaadi, she will spend some time in prayer and proper martial training, to strengthen the bond between herself, her weapon and Kirken and get all around stronger. ( OOC: Major Action: Leveling up to Warlock LvL 5. Minor Action: Quality time with Savas and Nasaadi. If possible, using Comprehend Languages to read the guide to becoming an Orog. ) Sithric Grimhildsson Once again, a life was lost. Sithric didn't manage to put down Toruk in time, before the man stabbed Taefenael. He had barely missed him, but once again, he let someone die because he couldn't do anything against it.  But like last time, thankfully the person could be brought back. It wasn't too late for the boy to do atleast something right. Cedrych had briefed to group on the looming threat of Azrai in the land of Mieres. While the Wizardess Mistecai is certainly a fearsome woman, Sithric had absolutely no business assisting in the release of Azrai. Like discussed with his group, he will travel to Innishiere and request and audience with the Faerie Princess, as he deems Innishieres involvement or atleast awareness in this matter necessary. "Faerie Princess, it is good to see you again. On my recent exploits we have come across a most disturbing revelation: Azrai still treads on Aebrynis. Specifically, he is locked inside a large reservoir of teine glainne in the regency of Mieres. A powerful wizardess named Mistecai wishes to claim this teine glainne for her own ends. While she is yet unaware of Azrai's presence inside the ore, I have reasons to believe that she will have no qualms about trying to harvest it even if she were aware of the fact. I know that you must be incredibly busy, but I would need your direct help in stopping this madwoman. But if you cannot spare the time, is there anything that you know of that could help us in shutting her or atleast her magical powers down? I am certain that if my companions from that mission and I can stop her, we can prevent a second coming of Azrai and thus effectively stop the worlds end." Sithric will stay for as long as he can, before he returns to the Cohort to continue his training with Zero, learning how to catch on details and teaching him how to spot things on the fly, as they did last month. Yes, including a small competition like "eye spy". ( OOC:  Requesting aid from Innishiere in the Teine Glainne matter, in whatever way possible, learning investigation from Zero and teaching Zero perception. ( Week 2 )) Robert Bossouri After their latest exploit, Rob rushes over to Bardenhold as soon as he read about the log. While he was always following the logs to catch up some on his first adventuring comrades, Rob just never had the time to sign up for the same missions as them. While he is still faithful they are fully capable of taking care of themselves, a slight feeling of guilt claws at his conscience. Things could have been different if he had been there more for the twins and Medi, enough to be invited to the latest Morrendeep. But they managed to pull themselves from the realm of the dead and he had to make sure that they don't die a second death, either through revival fatigue or sheer boredom. Once he arrives at Bardenhold on Daisy, he quickly looks to see if he can check up on Medi and Prudence. Seeing as they simply have to rest up, he's reliefed and offers to aid in this recovery process with both his healing magic and medicinal knowledge. Upon hearing about Medi's request to be taught Midgardian, he will certainly oblige and just as Salazar once taught him, begin teaching Medi Midgardian. He will also include Prudence in these lessions, once he is asked. Anything to help, when he couldn't before. ( OOC: Major and Minor Action: Teaching Midgardian to Prudence and Medi. ) Shango Bayu Shango will keep on learning Rjuven in Urkenhame.  ( Week 2 ) Valeiros Val will settle in properly at the Cohort with his new animal companion Chirp Chirp and work on his throwing technique, to level up to the 2nd level of Barbarian.

Zook Location:  Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, on the Isle of Fabrica Major action: Zook will level up. Minor action: Zook will spend all of his free time offering his services to do menial physical labor for the Cohort council (general upkeep; sweeping the halls, moving furniture, organizing/moving books in the library, filing away campaign logs for the script keeper) in an attempt to redeem his reputation with the council after embarrassing them a few weeks ago for failing the Orog mission (Mission 1N). Zeek Location:  Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, on the Isle of Fabrica Major action: Zeek will level up Minor action: Zeek will spend all of his free time in the library reading anything he can find about sidhewairs and attempting to make connections with those of the Cohort who frequent. He will pay particular attention for any other sidhewair that wander the aisles and attempt to make small talk (asking such questions such as Where do you hail from? How is your family doing? Seen many fellow sidhewair around? Where specifically?) to quench his curiosity about his races place in Cerilia.

Savas Major Action:  Savas will spend 90 GP for a trainer in an attempt to learn the Survival skill. Minor Action:  Savas will continue spending time with Eirena and Nasaadi, trying to gain the child's trust by establishing routines such as having meals together, reading her stories at bedtime, and helping teach her languages, reading/writing, and religion. Jannis Major Action:  Jannis spends 375 GP on materials and attempts to repair the platemail armor he took off a gnoll during a previous mission. Minor Action:   Jannis pens a letter and sends it to Konig Alaric Rohr of the Rohrmarch: "Your Royal Highness, I am Jannis, son of Konrad the Fisherman of Kiedel.  Some time ago, my mother fell ill and my father - with good intentions - naively made an agreement with Lord Hugo Farber to obtain the gold he needed to get the medicine my mother needed.  My father, however, was not able to keep up with the demanded payments.  Being one of the two main breadwinners of the family, my father could not leave the family to serve the debt, so instead agreed to have my sister, Ludwina, serve a term of indentured servitude until the debt was paid off. Instead of acting honorably and giving my sister respectable work to do, he sent her to work in one of his brothels as a prostitute.  In addition to the work my sister has done, I have sent repeated payments on her behalf, well more than what was owed, yet her debt only seems to be increasing.  I do not believe that Lord Farber is acting in a fair or noble manner. I beseech you to intervene on my sisters behalf and free her from this nightmare.  If there is any task I can perform to curry your favor, tell me your wish and I will fulfill your command. In respect and honor, Jannis The Red of the Cohort Arcanum"

Major Action:   Elusive will be leveling up Minor Action:   Elusive will be working on the map for the previous mission, detailing out where the Black Skull fortress was (depending on skill check, I imagine)

Prudence Duskhart Location: Bardenhold - Abbatuor, Roesone Prudence will be gladly carried back to her home. All that really matters to her is that those closest to her are alive and by her side. She will take her time to begin healing after all that had happened. Much in a similar way to Medi she goes around in the forest, bathes in the lakes and streams and watches the stars, accompanying Medi when she's able to. She would also spend most of her time with her sister, what she had gone through must not be easy for her either and she wants to make sure Agatha knows that Prudence is there with her. She takes her sister out into the forest one of the days and through nature talk to the spirit of their step-father Tomas. (light RP) When she feels a little more steady she oversees the work on her grove but only in short bursts preferring to stay around her sister and friends instead.  When she notices that Medi has began learning Midgardian she asks if Rob would be willing to teach her too. The shared lessons would be a welcome distraction. (Major Action: Learning Midgardian from Rob. [1st attempt] Minor Action: Resting off her Death Penalty 1/4) Druid's Grove 3/5 Portia Folkor Location: Halls of the Cohort Arcanum - Island of Fabrica Portia will move in with Ant, she definitely brings ‘some’ feminine charm but Ant soon finds out she is very messy at home, throwing things about and leaving her things around. She asks him for name suggestions for the monkey and they back and forth a few ideas.  “Sausage?” “No…” “Cookie?” “Doesn’t seem like a cookie…” “Pookie?” “That’s just Cookie with a P” “Abrek? Gordo?” “Hmm. Abrek...that works.” They name the monkey Abrek. In the meantime Portia, being still a little disturbed by that Cohort Vault they found in the Siren’s Realm will see if she can research more on the matter. (Major Action: Researching the Worm and the vault of the Cohort they found in the Siren’s Realm, Minor Action: Moving in with Ant.) Berry Brambles Location: Halls of the Cohort Arcanum - Island of Fabrica Berry keeps on hugging people. He also writes a letter to his mother. “Hey Ma! I’ve learned to cook pretty well! Your recipe is a success, as always. I may have put some sugar in it by accident but that was still okay. I wanted to tell you about this new food that is actually pretty tasty, you and my brothers would absolutely love it. You get some marshmallows and roast them over a fire and then you put it together with shortbread and chocolate. A lot of people here at the Cohort really like it. They named it Berry! Ah I hope you’re doing good. And my brothers too. Love you Ma. Your son Berry” (Major Action: Hug. Minor Action: Write letter.)

Glenn Sturgis Location:  Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, on the Isle of Fabrica Major: Level up if experience from the last mission is enough.  Minor: He will spend most of his other time offering healing to anyone in the Cohort in hopes of making stronger connections to other members. He would also like to pray to Laerme for her continued guidance and wisdom. He thanks her for granting him the abilities to help heal so many on his last mission.  OOC: Experience permitting, Glenn will level to 4th Level Cleric. 

Brognir Brognir will travel to Daikhar Zhigun and start his work on Glenn full plate armor. Reworking the armor so it will fit him properly, Taking out any markings he does not want on the metal and adding anything else to his armor. He will then hand his book off to a Dwerren scribe to start making copies of the book. He asks how much this would cost. ((Major: Working on Glenn full plate we found. Minor: Trying to start making copies of his dwerren book but needs to find a publisher and a price. )) Phage Phage keeps learning the arcane arts from Shlar. She will find Vincent and pays him 100gp to start his work on crafting her 250gp worth of silver holy symbols that she designed. She hands him a drawing she made and asks him to asks no questions and contact her when the task is done.  Phage writes a letter to the Kallanon about a memory she had with a dream when she was traveling with the Ice Maiden. She tells him about a ship on the seas of the underworld and a blind stone god pulling it. The ship is full of plants and on board many strange fey beasts that encircle a fountain of pure water. Then she describes this captain of the ship. A giant, beautiful blonde and black eyes woman. Atop her head is a closed third magical eye. She wields a crystaline scythe. She noticed Phage and said to her three words. Thylea, Hypnos, Lutheria. She does not know who this woman is or what the three words mean. Only word she recognize is Thylea, which is the new land the Cohort discovered. She asks if he or any of the leaders could help her in this matter with finding out who she is or how if she is a threat as a primordial.  ((Major: Learning magic initiate wizard week: 2/3, Minor working on her new project (OOC: What would the price be for a silver holy symbol amulet being made. You can normally buy them for 5gp for full gold ones.))) Tristan Tristan will look for a teacher to help continue to teach him Midgardian in Zobeck. He lives a poor life style and tries to find some side work while he is in the city so he can stay there and learn the language better. ((Major: Learning Midgardian week 3. Minor: Finds work to survive in the city.))

Agatha Duskhart After their last mission Agatha spends her time at her home in Bardenhold with the others who decided to join for some well needed rest. Most of her time she spends with Diesa as she feels some sort of calm being around her as she tries to leave Prudence and Medi alone. She does however want to distract herself a little and finds someone else to teach her to be more aware of her surroundings. During the time she spends with Diesa she notices her struggling with Anuirean and offers to teach her. (Major Action: Find a teacher, Perception - week 2. Minor Action: Teach Diesa Anuirean.)   Nim Mammsdotter Nim keeps practicing cooking with Galena and when she hears Galena can make her own healing potions she asks her to teach her. (Major Action: Herbalism Kit - week 1. Minor Action: Teaching Galena Cook's Utensils.)

Vincent Location:  Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, on the Isle of Fabrica - Modest Lifestyle Vincent spends his downtime working on learning Aquan with Ant.

Raven Tonks Rowan Major: Will attempt to level up using the experience gained Session 115 Minor: Raven follows Cordie, being her new apprentice, around Zobeck.

Dragomir Drago levels up. We handled the letter during the session . Orithar Unfortunately she doesn't manage to acquire any books on how to manipulate leylines. Similarly neither book provides any information on leylines. They do however have a good description of magic theory, and might be useful for improving one's knowledge of the arcane if studied for enough time. Fenris Fenris improves his abilities to survive on his own whilst learning the ways of the forest from a sidhelien man Yale. Cedrych Taefenael takes the news a bit roughly, but comes around after a few days. She goes with Cedrych to speak with The Queen of the Sielewode. The queen is keenly worried about this, and says she'll do what she can to resolve this issue. However she makes it clear she does not plan to invade a vassal of Avanil (at least at the moment). Salazar Salazar find a city of peasants being treated like royalty by a host of skeletons. These skeletons do almost all the labor in the city, and the only thing the humans do is create trade goods, and other high skilled labor. He does indeed hear of The Amber Castle in Eastern Pipryet, but is warned that going there is almost suicide in someways. Anyone who goes there is 'tested' by The Magian, and almost all of those who go end up dead. By the time he finds this out he's eaten up most of his time away from The Cohort. OOC: To be clear if you wish to try to take this downtime action again I will be rolling dice to determine if Salazar dies , escapes with his life, or succeeds. Kazimir Volkov Kazimir's efforts are appreciated by everyone at the fort. Indeed most of the residents there do their best to attend to the man. When he asks about the forge he's presented with a small, but adequate one. He improves his abilities (levels up). Korak Korak levels up. He doesn't manage to get any animal friends. Hedrin Hedrin learns Midgardian. He isn't able to find the book he wants, but is able to find a general book about weather. It's for sale for 50gp. Tal, Thrum Tal, Thrum doesn't manage to learn Low Brecht quite yet. He does do a good job of taking care of the children in the fort. Diesa Diesa begins learning Anuirean from Agatha, but will need more time to master the language. Galena The Lamia settle in (temporarily). It sounds like they may be permanently moving to The Fort of Last Hope sometime in the near future. She finally learns how to get the hang of cooking. She teaches Nim. Aubrae Aubrae searches deeply for knowledge on the origins of celestials, but she doesn't find much at all. She does find a passage saying that the gods made them, but in the same book she finds another passage saying that the gods simply enslaved them. Medi Medi doesn't quite finish learning Midgardian during her rest. She does however get good rest, and slowly starts recovering. Cordie Cordie acts as a translator, and begins overseeing the renovations to her new tower. Saorise Saorise hides, and cowers from every shadow that she sees. Ant Ant moves in with Portia, and names the monkey Abrek. He has heartfelt moments with her. Mamm Mamm cooks many blueberry muffins whilst also looking over Nim and Galena. She gives some to Drago. Skag Skag hides. Elusive Elusive meets with some local cartographers in hopes of making better connections. These people (as per our usual rules) are located around Brecht, and not on the island of Fabrica directly. Dyer Dyer meets with Presphine. Veilitos Veilitos levels up. Zero Zero begins learning how to better notice things, but isn't quite there yet. Lindal [Retired] Shlar [Retired] Thugnuck Thugnuck begins his research, but is having trouble finding out much information about it. However he does discover that some far off dwerren tribes discovered the secrets to forging fallen comets, and meteorites. Perhaps this might be a lead? Knuckles -- Brbl Learns Midgardian. Eirena Eirena levels up. Outside of that she reads her book, and spends some alone time with Savas. Sithric Sithric learns the skill of investigation from Zero. Outside of that he's able to have a short discussion with the Faerie Princess. She unfortunately isn't much interested in more wars with the humans at the moment, but does promise she'll do what she can diplomatically. Robert Robert teaches Prudence and Medi Midgardian. Shango Shango finally learns Rjuven. Valeiros Valeiros levels up. Zook Zook levels up. He does his best to makeup for what happened last week, but it will require more than some floor sweeping to repair the damage. The effort is however noted. Zeek Zeek levels up. Zeek does some light reading (research is a major action). Savas Savas will need more time to master survival. He spends more time with Nasaadi who is slowly growing more and more complacent with her position by the day. She's starting to behave more like an ordinary toddler. For better, or for worse. Jannis Jannis repairs the plate armour. The Konig does send a return letter, but it simply reads "The Konig has received your letter." Not very promising. Prudence Prudence will need more time to learn Midgardian, and more rest to finish recovering. Portia Portia isn't able to find much info during her research, but she does move in with Ant. Berry Berry sends his letter out, and gives out lots of hugs. Glenn Glenn levels up. He spends his time healing, and helping others which is greatly appreciated by those in need. He starts to get lines from local peasants by the time he has to leave. Brognir Brognir finishes the job on Glenn's armour. Making copies of a book is actually quite expensive as they have to be penned by hand. It ends up costing 100gp per copy from a proper scribe. Phage Phage sends his letter out, and requests for Vincent to start his work. She practices magic. OOC: I'd say 2.5 gold. Much of the cost is labor. Tristan Tristan doesn't learn Midgardian this week. He's having allot of trouble with the language. Agatha Agatha learns perception, and teaches Diesa. Nim Nim makes a healing potion, and teaches Galena to cook. Vincent Vincent doesn't manage to learn Quan this week. He can't find a smith who will work that cheaply. Darvius The Kallanon tells Darvius that he doesn't know her. Darvius finishes his training. Raven Tonks Rowan Raven levels up. Aside from that she becomes Cordie's apprentice. Cordie is a surprisingly good teacher, but it takes someone with a sharp mind and quick wits to follow her craziness. She understands magic from a different perspective than the average person. Hen Hen levels up. She then familiarizes herself with the local island of Fabrica. There are many people here, and almost everything is in high demand. Unfortunately that means freebies, and favors are hard to come by here. Especially for a newcomer. Zahirah Zahirah levels up. Other than that he officially registers with The Cohort. Nardual Nardual levels up. He tries to find some information, but can't really find any leads.
