[Weekly Downtime Thread][Winter II 1525 HC][Sessions 167-171]

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. This thread is for the week:  16 April to 19 April, covering sessions 167-171 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 & Nalu Drago continues his practices and takes time just to bond with Nalu during the Urkenhame feast. Focusing on what Nalu wants to do, its about time she had some real fun. He also offers to get her crystals refined for her horde by Korak. He tells her that he has heard word that Iraxus is currently on a different continent hopes she can relax a little and just enjoy herself without fear. Drago continues working on getting his tower upgrades, sending letter to Baruk-Azhik & Rzhlev for stone, wood additional aid they could provide.  OOC: Bonding with Nalu,  Continue Looking for Aid with his Tower. Orithar Trisk Orithar returns back to the shadowrealm with Syndra to work out the details. Orithar's head still echos with the words of the now-dead shaman "Weak". "If you beg.." Magical creatures of the world can not be denied access to the flow of Mebhaighl, this is the main power Orithar wishes to gain. Not to just to learn a method to gain control or attuning to the ley lines but to be given the gift that makes magical creatures so special. To access leylines without restrictions or impediments. Orithar already has made a deal of tutorage during his first meeting with no expressed time limit, doesn't need to barter for teaching again. This is a boon of power that will allow Orithar to operate in the world unimpeded. However, the reason Orithar needing to operate unimpeded is to be the right hand for Syndra. Orithar has proven himself with competence, creative thinking and pro-activeness that has been impressive and it clear Orithar has more council he would be willing to provide.  Major Action: Finalising his deal with to become a right hand toward Syndra and gain his gift of power.  OCC: In-game Orithar and Syndra came to an agreement, Orithar wants to be given a gift of power that allows him to be able to direct access any leyline and take a place in a position of power within the new Blood Skull Barony. I floated the idea of him controlling one of the provinces (for Syndra) after everything has settled down, and moving towards a right-hand man positon. 

Eirena Lightshadow As discussed with Hats regarding the crafting misunderstanding, Eirena is going to commission a good quality shield for it's cost in Daikhar-Zhigun, where she was declared an honorary dwerren for her services regarding Froghemoth. She will also teach Bronsun Rjurik in the time she doesn't spend time with her family. Alvah Laurent I forgot to include it in last downtime, Alvah levels up to LvL 5 ( Approved by Elee, as Alvah is missing XP for 2 logs still. ) Sithric Sidhefriend Sithric researches which dragon is known to live in the lands of Binsada. To this day he has no clue whos bones he is wielding and it is time he finally learns, to give the bow a better name than "Dragonbonebow." He will also continue teaching Thorkell how to pick up small animals without hurting them, should he need it. Robert Bossouri Depends on his earlier downtime Shango Bayu Research about this island where those slain by Solaria are held. He was going to see this thing through with Brognir, as Shlar was nowhere to be found.

Raven Tonks Rowan Major: level up to 5 Minor: Wonders what happened to her mentor, and tries to keep Cordie's tower in order and take over Cordie's role as translator for their friends. Hen Major: asks the ErLady Mispera to teach her Brecht so that she may better serve the people of the land. Minor:  is mildly appalled by her new shape shifting ability and asks the lady mispera if she has ever heard of such a thing and starts to look for a way to be "cured" Hadrian Darkleaf Major: learn Thylean Cellwair from Demi (week 3) Minor: attempt to teach Demi Sidhewair (week 3)

Bronsun Major- attempts to learn Rjurik from Eirena. (1/3)  Minor -Obtain a revivify tattoo from the appropriate source within the cohort. 

Korak (Working the amethyst gained from troglodyte  session) Korak heads home to Baruk-Azhik to pick up some proper Dwerren tools and starts cutting the amethyst. He works them so that they glimmer from every angle when light catches them and draw the eyes of any nearby. He cuts them in different sizes and working especially hard on the large gem he has planned for a centerpiece for a necklace. Teaching Salazar the grumbly secrets of the Terran language 

Thorkell the Tall Thorkell lvls up as Barbarian and get's a tad faster - also with his axe swings Nasir Al'Rahka Nasir lvls up as a Ranger (lvl 5) Gork Wolfborn Returns with the others to the Cohort, but quickly leaves again towards the Blood Skull Barony. Gork continues to learn magic from Orithar (2nd week to become an Eldritch Knight). He spends most of his time in the Blood Skull Barony, but makes a visit to the White Witch to receive his boon.

Vincent Heron (Retiring) Location:   Halls of the Cohort Arcanum - Modest Lifestyle (16sp) After recent events  Vincent is not sure how much longer he will survive serving the Cohort and decides the time has come for him to set off for Boeruine although he has a few tasks to take care of on the way.  Before he departs he takes the time lighten his pack. First his bow "Poison Ivy" is left at Cedrych's door with the following note. "Keep practicing. I figured you could use all the help you could get.   - The Human Who Bested You". " The   Faithful Labours of the Sea Captain"  he had on loan from Ant he leaves with instructions for it to be returned on his next visit to port on the Isle. The Dwerren crafting book he leaves at the cohort for any interested in studying forging.  Then he sets out on Charlotte (his giant spider) for the realm of the White Witch to ask for his boon - he knows from the Cohorts logs that Aeric Boeruine is protected from the venom by some sort of magic charm. He asks for crossbow ammunition that will allow him to counteract this and ensure the venom is able to take effect. Once this is completed he visits Lady Syndra in the Blood Skull Barony as he works his way south and west. He reveals to the Lady his plans to end the life of the Archduke Aeric Boeruine and asks for any aid she might offer. He suspects the Archduke, like most rulers, carries his fair share of bloodline which she may be interested in. If she is willing to lend him aid he will take it particularly any assistance in allowing him to get close to the Archduke and escape.  Then he continues traveling on to Boeruine taking care to avoid any prying eyes. If the opportunity presents itself he will risk his life to try to take that of the Archdukes. If successful (and able to escape) he plans to return to the City of Anuire and his family where he will put the knowledge contained in the book he purchased on Midgardian Dwerren crafting in Zoebeck to good use (I wonder if he could construct +str crossbows or something to that effect). If he survived he continues to honor his agreement with Lady Syndra. If he fails in his mission or perishes in the attempt it is a risk he is willing to take.  OCC: If it would be possible to roll some dice and see if this plan works that would be excellent. Otherwise Vincent is officially retired from the Cohort.  Nils Ullstein Location:  Holstadt, Berhagen - Poor Lifestyle (48cp) Nils returns to Holstadt to purchase a mount during his downtime leveraging his contacts from having served as a banner-man in the Barkannen to find a good price. He is looking for a fine Bretch riding horse, military saddle and saddlebags. He has sufficient money for the purchase but is hoping he may get an even better price here then at the Cohort. He also sends word to his family that he has been accepted into the Cohort and has survived his first mission.  (Note: Already purchased for his last session but maybe it was at a discount?) OOC: Nils uses his "Military Rank" background trait to help him with this exchange.  Shou Location:   Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, Isle of Fabrica - Poor Lifestyle (0gp) Shou begins to grow weary of waiting to meet the fabled Cordelia. They set out for the Cohort to continue the search or find other adventurers willing to aid them in fighting the King of Thorns. Cedrych gives Shou a few pointers on his Sidhelien (apparently it is a little too rustic) and in exchange Shou teaches him Midgardian.  Minor Action: Teaching Cedrych Midgardian 

Phage Will continue to learn Sylvan if she has not learned it yet. If she does know it then she will try to start learning Draconic. Brognir Returns from the Cohort after being captured by orogs and then fiends. He will spend his time researching ether any information he got from letters from leaders about the Isle of Ghosts or anything he can learn about his Crystal buddy.  Grian ( Possibly has a new name) Same thing as the last downtime activity. 

Darvius Darvius spends his time leveling up to 9, He can be soon spotted by apprentices running across the water near Fabrica as he masters a new level of Ki in his own body.

Cedrych Brightbough Cedrych tries to learn Midgardian from Shou. Attempt 1. He also helps Shou practice their Sidhelien and continues to teach Glenn draconic. OOC: Shou already has Sidhelien as a free language. This is just fluff. Kazimir Volkov Kazimir returns to the Fort of Lost Hope. He tells the Ehrlady that he and some of the other Wings intend to head into the Shadow World to deal with the Vampire, and asks if there's anything she can do to assist them. Particularly, if she could grant them a boon, temporary blessing, or item that could conjure true sunlight. OOC: Kaz has 10 Renown with "Fort Hope" and 5 Renown with Lady Mispera (unsure if these are functionally the same). Saorise has agreed to chip in some of her renown, if needed. Salazar di Fioretti Salazar tries learning Terran from Korak. Attempt 1.

Kobal Kobal uses this peaceful time to focus on his class. Major: Level up to 4  (assuming I have enough Exp to do so)

Glenn Sturgis Glenn tries to learn Draconic from Cedrych. 1st Try. Glenn would also like to contact Lady Mispera to see if she has any task that she would require of him.

Dragomir Rzhlev sends 425gp of worth of wood to help, but Baruk Azhik is a bit far to offer that kind of assistance. (Marked of 10 renown). Orithar I think we covered the basis of this in session. Eirena Eirena commissions her shield. Alvah Level up. Sithric Sithric does his research, but so far isn't able to find the answer. Robert Shango Shango discovers that Maestians apparently know allot about the island. Raven Level up. Hen Hen learns Brecht. She tells Hen that getting a cure would be difficult even for her. It would take powerful magic to cure what happened to her. Hadrian Hadrian learns Thylean Cellwair, and Demi learns Sidhewair. Bronsun Bronsun learns Rjurik from Eirena. Korak Korak crafts some fine amethysts gemstones. Thorkell Thorkell practices swinging his axes faster (level up) Nasir Nasir improves his abilities (level up) Gork Gork receives his boon, and works on his magic. Vincent Vincent sacrifices himself in the attempt. The Archduke is an extremely capable warrior, and he has guards at his sides who are just as strong. Nils Nils ends up purchasing a mount at fair market price. Shou Shou learns and teaches. Phage Phage learns Sylvan. Brognir Brognir takes time looking into The Isle of Ghosts. He discovers that there are people from The Isle of the Serpent who know how to safely go to the island and back. Grian Grian becomes a pixie. Darvius Darvius levels up. Cedrych Cedrych will need more time to learn Midgardian. Kazimir Volkov She'll tell Kazimir when the time comes he should come to her first. She doesn't have allot of power over the shadow world, but she does have the power to bring a guiding light. Salazar Salazar gets the hang of the primordial language of Terran. Kobal Levels up Glenn Glenn will need more time to learn Draconic. Mispera says her lands are stable for the moment, but conflict might arise in the future.
