[Weekly Downtime Thread][Fall 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.

Savas Al-Hadar Savas spends most of his time alone, or solely in the company of Eirena and Nasaadi, avoiding contact with anyone else.  He installs additional bolts on their door and shutters, and keeps the suite locked tight at all times, frequently searching for any unseen spies or attackers. Major Action:   Savas spends his time in the library, tucked away in a corner with his back to the wall, researching the symbol from the cultists in Ber Dairas (candle & star), as well as the strange red pendant he found on the dead thief in the basement of the museum.  He will focus mainly in the occult section, as well as any rumors or reports of cultist activity in Binsada over the last 5 years.  Minor Action:   Savas will cast the following spells on the amulet: Detect Evil & Good, Detect Magic, Remove Curse (and one more Detect Magic after casting Remove Curse).

Cedrych Brightbough Major: Cedrych travels to Rzhlevskyy to seek an audience with the Tsarina. After dispensing with formalities, he inquires about any prisoners she may have in her gaol or donjon. He's looking for two things: Traitors - Any Torva that Chessa has ferreted out and arrested would do. If they're going to be executed (or have been killed recently) he seeks to acquire their tongue. Innocents - Knowing that the Tsarina's personal brand of justice is a bit overzealous, she probably has some legitimate innocents locked up. If the Tsarina will privately admit to apprehending some less-than-guilty people to "make an example of", Cedrych would suggest removing an eye as punishment. If she insists that they be executed anyway, then he asks to take an eye before or after the fact. Cedrych is willing to extract these items himself, with the Tsarina's permission. He stores them separately inside glass vials. He has up to 14 Rhzlev renown available to facilitate this transaction, or would consider paying in coin if the Tsarina prefers that. If the Tsarina doesn't currently have anyone like this in custody, he waits in Rhzlevskyy for the month, hoping some citizens get arrested. Minor: Begrudgingly teaching Draconic to Glenn. Salazar di Fioretti TBD Kazimir Volkov TBD

Glenn Sturgis Major: Experience permitting Glenn will level. Otherwise he has convinced Cedrych to teach him Draconic, which he agreed to do free of charge since they are best friends. Minor: He will spend more time tending to the poor and sick around the cohort and mispera. He will also focus on baking more of his signature cookies (1 batch just for Cedrych) and also experiment with making blueberry muffins for Nalu. Trouble Major: Trouble with be leveling to Lvl 3

Saorise Saorise returns to Mispera with Roza, using her coin and influence there to ensure the sheep lady has a safe place to stay and is looked after when Saorise is away on missions. While Saorise is there she attempts to look into a method of non-verbal communication, so Roza can communicate without needing a telepathic being nearby. Some kind of hand-sign language ideally, for her and Roza to learn together. She had heard that a previous member of the Cohort had trained in something similar, and so she reached out to Lolgon Shoulgen, offering to hire him to teach them. Major:  Learning sign language (Hiring Lolgon as NPC trainer, not sure of cost) [Week 1] Cordie Cordie returns to her tower, new friends in tow, and gets Flawn set up and introduced to the other strange denizens of her home. She'll also buy him a new longbow, quarterstaff and a druidic focus to equip him properly. Content with the progress towards her mission she sits down and finally takes the time to read a book she bought a while ago and hasn't had a chance to read: Enchanting Ideas by Heath Moores - This leather bound book has the image of a beautiful woman on it's front (Bought in Sistora's Books, Session 115). She also spends some quality time with her apprentice, trying to teach her the local language again. Major:  Reads Enchanting Ideas .  Minor:  Resumes Raven's Midgardian lessons. Medi After hearing that a fey lord has basically targeted her home, Medi takes extra steps to be prepared to defend it should she need to, redoubling her training efforts. When a fresh-faced, simple-minded Cohort recruit shows up asking for training, she agrees. Not for coin, but in the hope that her teachings can keep him from dying a painful and traumatising death. She tries to instil the lesson that while some things are worth dying for there are also things worth living for, and that even if you don't value your own life someone else might come to, so for their sake you should protect it. Major:  Level up to Ranger 7  Minor:  Training Becker [Week 1]

Urg OOC - Leveling to 4 as multiclass Barbarian (week 2/2) Veilitos Veilitos uses his weavers tools and skills to make basic clothing to sell to some traders.  He wants some money.

Diesa Gemfire Location: The Barony of Roesone Diesa travels to Gravesford for a couple of days seeking to visit Pinna. Last time she saw the young woman was on the eve of the Battle of Traitor's Demise, taking her out of Dorokor's clutches, so she hopes she has recovered well in the year since. Diesa also heard that Pinna is a skilled mage interested in sharing knowledge and spells - and with the growing troubles in Anuire, Diesa might need all the spells she can get and is happy to give full access to her own book in exchange. (Hopefully get to look at the whole book but if need to be specific, Diesa is looking for spells of the 2nd circle that could be useful in a fight, defensive spells or those in the transmution, illusion or abjuration schools.) Galena bint Habivi Location: Mispera - Comfortable Lifestyle When Galena returns to her new home she is obviously deflated and mopey from not having Ki-Rin around any more, just as she was really getting used to the idea of having the strange celestial dragon around long term - and after having lost her friend Nim too. Also she has much less excuse for getting Lamia milk without a baby dragon around that needs feeding. Feeling too raw to keep learning the language without Ki-Rin she goes out hunting with her sssisters and picks herbs and mosses from the country side. Major: (Using the herbalism kit proficiency to make a potion of healing for 25gp. She gives the potion to Habivi for their clan. She also gives the potion that she was given by Queen Freya to Mispera for the stores) Minor: (Lets Mispera know that Drachenward is open for trade) Aubrae Trevelyan Location: Mispera - Modest Lifestyle Aubrae spends her downtime in the company of Yaara, they travel to Mispera since she heard of the place from Saorise who's taking Roza there and it seems like a good place for Yaara to get her bearings in 'civilisation'. She buys a wagon that her horse, Bayard, can pull and the pair go on the road together. With Yaara performing her songs and music, backed up by Aubrae. Aubrae will also use her power of Lay on Hands to heal the sick and injured. Major: (Learning the Performance skill from Yaara, 1st downtime attempt) Minor: (Teaching the Land Vehicles Tool Proficiency to Yaara) Sabiha bint Habivi Location: The Cohort's Manor, in The City of Mytros, on the continent of Thylea Major: Level Up - Sabiha tries to learn the local language but is too distracted with destiny, divinity and power and magic and such to pick up more than a couple words and instead plays with her magic. (Leveling up to 3rd, taking 3rd Level in sorcerer. Should i change my origin from draconic to demi-god?) Minor: She wants to try her hand at composing an epic poetic ballad but knows better than to expect gold on her first try so just contents herself with making a simple lurid limerick instead.

Becker Swifthammer Location:  Abbatour Becker spends his downtime travelling with his new Owlbear Chick, Mooncake. They head to Abbatour to spend 2 weeks with Medi Eirwen. Medi teaches Becker the ways of tracking and how to traverse the grasslands quickly and respect nature. She does not charge Becker for this service. The yearning to be a good father to Mooncake drives Becker's heart to push himself and gain strength. Major:  (Multiclassing as Ranger with Medi Eirwen. Week 1 ) Minor:  (Raising Mooncake, the Owlbear Chick)

Brognir Bronzehelm Brognir will write a letter to the leaders of Drachenward, Rzlev, Daikhar Zhigun, Baruk-Azhik and the Sielewode. He is asking if any of them have any information on The Isle of Ghosts and if so he can head there and look at it. He will then spend his time with his family in Khurin-Azur. He will spend gold to buy a small keg of Dwerren ale. (Dont know how much gp this will be) From Brognir Bronzehelm I write to you asking if you have any documents relating to the Isle of Ghosts. I am tasked to learn as much as I can about the place and I am in dire need for as much knowledge I could get about the Isle. I hope I will survive this mission and be of some aid for you all in the future. If you have any documents please send word to me and I will travel to learn what I can. Thank you for even if you wanted to help but have nothing. I appreciate the effort.  Phage Will find someone to teach her Sylvan and will pay for their services.  (Will pay to start learning sylvan) Grian Veles Will stay in Roesone and try to connect to nature and strengthen his fey bond. (Grian will level up to Warlock 2)

Korak (Learning tools needed to craft wood for a Ballista or other Siege weapon, Carpenter/Woodcarving/Special Siege Tools?) Korak will either learn the trade in Drachenward if they have something applicable to the skill needed or from Baruk-Azhik craftsman if Korak knows this is a craft available at his home. If not he will just entertain Kaevara and keep her out of Dragos hair for a little bit.  (Sending letter to Hjolvar about Cultists and playing with Mammoth) Korak sends a letter and a sending spell to Uldviik Varrigsson about the moon people heading towards the cave of sharpclaw and gives a brief description of what they are trying to do there and their possible usefulness if used correctly. It may be possible to make an ally of these people if the cave is overrun by goblins and use them to fight some of the hoards off in the kings name. He does warn not to eat any of the magic food they provide and to keep his people away from their queens whispers. Also he notes that she was a priestess of Laerme at some point and convinced to follow a false god that does not exist yet but might come to be with their worship if they were to gain enough followers.  He provides whatever other useful information about the cult we found in session to the King but never actually using the word cult. If they were to perish the world would likely be better for it but at least use them to do some good in the meantime.  Bruce the Mammoth is well loved and cared for, many treats are given and Korak wrestles and plays with the creature if its big enough. Hendrin (Shopping and Item Fitting) Hedrin asks his mother Zylara to mold the cloak she made for him into a shirt that matches his new magic stormy one and so that he can wear both together.  He Gets a nice matching Saddle for his new spider mount Peter spending 100 gold for a fancy one.  He finds a tatoo parlor and puts some money down to have his lightning scars that are visible be modified into something more interesting. (What would be the cost for a high quality or magic moving tattoo if they offer something like that?)  (Reading Weather Book Week 1) Hedrin spends some spare time reading the book he got from the Kobold Book Store
