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 .

Orithar Trisk.  Nursing Shoulder after bite. Back to study. Will stay out of others members way. Sleep during day, Too many looks. Read books at night. It's quieter. Words have comfort. Applying experiences towards self-improvement.  Reach new heights. Without using stairs. 

Teresa will be staying at the Cohort after getting back from Proudglaive. Having seen a lot of strange creatures in her travels and had to rely on what she can remember of the stories and advice that she'd been told, she'd start trying to take the broader, more general advice to heart. The ability to glean information about what you're fighting, and finding the ways to fight it for yourself. She'll be doing a lot of reading up on different types of creatures as part of her training, trying to find trends that will allow her to pick out clues on the strengths and weaknesses of whatever she finds in the field. (Levelling up to level 3 and taking the Monster Slayer subclass)

Diesa Gemfire Location: Diesa spends her time at the Halls of Cohort Arcanum off the coast of Muden. Training: Having successfully embarked on her arcane studies and finding herself capable of tapping the Mebhaigh, Diesa struck a deal with Presphine - a wizard and alchemist resident at the Halls, perform a service in exchange for more advanced tutelage in the eldritch arts. With that service successfully rendered she spends her spare time learning and practicing with Presphine, getting closer and closer to actually being able to cast a spell. Other: Diesa writes another letter to her mother, Silde Gemfire, in Daugren. In it, as well as the usual catching up and asking after family she writes that she has heard the Herzog's call for aid in dealing with goblin raids in Westriet and the rumours of a lost fane of Moradin in the area as well. She tells her mother that she is hopeful of persuing these matters as a member of the Cohort (Therefore gaining free passage home for a visit) and asks her to make enquiries for any more information with the caravaneers that pass through Daugren.

Drago will be levelling up tho why the rest of the cohort mages study he doesn't appear to be applying himself at all. He spends most of his time bothering and sneaking and spying on Presphine to read the new book. 

Ayoval: Not knowing where to take his training at this point he will research more into the history of the Queen of Witches under books titled fey creatures and deities, also looking in books that have tales of witches. Hedrin: The boy returns to Master Exaban and describes the last journey and how he was nearly killed twice and voicing his concern about his ability to help the party. He pleads to Exaban to school him in the arcane further so he may be of more use. Korak: Blessed by Moradin in his last battle Korak faithfully returns to his normal practice, visiting others faithful to Moradin and giving blessings to them. He prays and trains with new vigor and pride unlike after he had lost so many villagers in the Bleak Holm Battle. 

Hunter Layton will be leveling up, given available experience.

Siegfried Morton will be spending his time praying for the child to grow up strong and telling stories to anyone who listens. Levelling up to two. 

Agatha will continue practicing her magic and level up to level 3.

Rob will spend his time at the Arcanum in prayer an preparation to finally meet the baroness. He will also Level up to two, given sufficient experience.

Takumir will sharpen his combat skills while he resides in the Arcanum and level up.

Prudence will try to come to terms with what she is, spending most her time in nature where she can connect with it, looking for answers. Levelling up to 3.

Tarkus creed will continue to relearn his instruments with one arm he will also try to fined someone to teach him Andu (old Anuirean) as this will help in the future. He will also write several small Haikus about his recent foray  Rob Boss L eft monastery, Young, Innocence incarnate Bath house is needed Mistress Prudence Two harts beat as one, A new form for a new town,  Overwhelmed by praise Agatha Darkness clouds her heart  A warm smile to break through, Wit; her cold shield  Teresa Eirwen Keeping to the road, A sound mind over madness  Bow always ready  Kobolds Creeping through the bush, Spear, ready to Kill all, One shot ends its life. The Alseid's Prudence warm beds, welcome home,  Drinks flow, everyone smiles, Gods bless alcohol  Tarkus creed One note, all alone, Takes comfort from those with you,   Together, a song.

Ingund will spend her time training herself to fight more capably and learn new techniques, finding that seeing herself from a distance allows her to fight multiple targets more effectively. She'll also spend a while coming up with a name for her familiar. (Advancing to level 2, taking 1 level in Fighter. Week 1/2)

Downtime is officially CLOSED. I will be posting the results very shortly.

Orithar Trisk You spend time studying, reading, and improving yourself. You feel your knowledge of magic has grown. Teresa Your study, and practice of monsters pays off. Your ability to identify monsters, and defeat them has increased substantially. Diesa Gemfire Presphine's lessons are surprisingly difficult, and her usual personality gives way to a strict mentor. You have to suffer through many long nights and critiques, but at the end of it all you feel that you have improved significantly. Eldritch Knight week 2 of 3. Oh my if it isn't my little Diesa! Aye there have been problems with the goblins 'ere, but there are worse matters 'appening in Grevesmühl. Arlinda Aldor of the Black Ice Traders has been stir'n up more trouble with the dwerren folk from Daikhar Zhigun. She has started cutting down all of their trees, and claiming them for 'er own profit. Worse yet she's turn'n round, and gouging the dwerren with outrageous prices for their own lumber! I've 'eard that Kallen Pickbiter, and his dwerren lords are gett'n to their wits end with 'er. I think Lords Morathos Everdark and Dorin Utterlund are going to come crashing down on us all sooner rather than later. I only 'ope 'erzog Shaemes Karlburgher 'as the guts to put a stop to it. Oh who am I kidd'n that man has the spine of a slug! Anyways outside of that business we're doing alright, but I worry another war is com'n. Glad to 'ear from ye, and I 'ope to see ya soon. Love ya, Maw Drago Despite not applying yourself Presphine encroaches on your free time with lessons of magical theory. Somehow you manage to learn a few new things during this time. You don't find the book, it appears the woman has hidden it somewhere. You certainly never see her reading it. Ayoval You spend a large amount of time searching through the tomes of The Cohort Arcanum, but can't seem to find anything on The Queen of Witches. Hedrin Exaban reluctantly teaches you a few more things about magic. He tells you "Discretion is the better part of valor. Caution is preferable to rash bravery." He doesn't seem to expect you will remember his words anytime soon, but he says them nonetheless. You feel your power in magic has grown, but rather your wisdom has improved is completely in your own hands. Korak You spend time praying to Moradin, and the forge father seems to respond to your wishes. You feel a great power well up inside of you. Your magical abilities have expanded. Hunter Layton You spend time practicing in the martial arts, and improving yourself physically. You feel yourself improve, and realize that in brief moments of battles you can find the opportunity to act more quickly than the average person. Siegfried Morton You spend time praying, and meditating in silence. You aren't sure if your prayers will be answered, but you do feel that your abilities to wield divine magic have improved. Agatha You feel the magic in your blood ebb and flow throughout your body. During your practice you discover that you have the ability to manipulate magic in... unnatural ways. Or perhaps those ways are more natural than any other? Whatever the case you are sure that your power has grown. Rob You pray, and practice in your free time. Going through the same rituals, and motions that you had done a million times before. Yet this time you do not do so idly. You realize the importance of every movement, and the subtle lessons that Nesirie left for you. In a moment of pure inspiration you discover that your ability to manipulate divine magic has increased! Takumir You spend time practicing with the blade, pike, and crossbow. Perhaps you're still a little rougher than you would like, but your skills are slowly beginning to sharpen. Prudence You spend time in nature communing with the local spirits. Another alseid who calls herself Liri finds you in the woods, and teaches you more about your new form. However one morning you wake up to find that she has gone back to her home. Wherever that may be. Tarkus Creed You spend some time practicing with  your instruments, and writing haikus for various members of The Cohort. Your aspirations seem to woo the sympathies of The Kallanon who spends some time teaching you Andu. You will need some more time to truly learn the language, but you've taken your first few steps. Note on your character sheet you have 1 week of downtime towards learning Andu. Ingund You spend time learning the more refined techniques that some other members around The Cohort use. You aren't used to such a fighting style, but you do find some merits to it. Week 1 of 2 for becoming a fighter.
