[Weekly Downtime Thread][Winter IV 1525 HC][Sessions 178-184]

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:  29 April to 3 May, covering sessions 178-184 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.

Raven Tonks Rowan Major: Based on last down time if she found an decent book, she would try to learn one of the spells out of it (preferably Web if thats an option). Minor: is Mildly freaking out over concern for her Mentor, sends letters to the Main Cohort asking if anyone has Heard anything about that groups status, tries to keep the Tower in order, and translates for those who need it. Hen Major: (based on previous downtime)  either further research or venturing to find a cure Hadrian Darkleaf Major: If he Has enough XP, Levels up to 5, if not, he looks into getting better armor for Demi and improved weapons for them both. he also inquirers about armor for Nara (if thats even possible) Attempts to talk to Demi about her past: telling her that it is bound to effect there future together, and she wouldn't want anything to ruin that for them, Right? He also consoles her that it will not effect his feelings toward her and that trust is the best foundation for, well, marriage. Chikat Stonehaven looks to purchase his own unique dragon chess set. while doing so he engages in banter about the best Tactics for the game and how they relate to Battle tactics. Nerolia Creates a new song of the adventures of the Cohort, Singing of the menace of the Megapede.

Dragomir The Black (No Nalu) Drago tries his best to keep busy why Nalu isn't around, hoping the time will go by faster if he is busy. He speaks with Queen Freya and Larmedylth all about his visit with Nyssra, it's clear he has no idea what kind of impression he made on her. Telling the story of Soho being turned into a were-dragon and that Roland is banned from entering his house. If he was willing to try to steal from Nyssra horde who wouldn't steal from! Who was the dragon skeleton of in Nyssra Horde and why she keeps that there? All in all, it's clear the boy is just trying to find things to do to keep his mind busy.  He spends days speaking with Larmedylth. Drago asks that if Dragons have lived as long as they have then where are all their cities and creations? Have any of them made items or artifacts? If so where are they now and who owns them. Or cities and asks if she would be interested in him finding them?  All of this is just a distraction as he constantly takes flight around Urkenhame hoping to see signs of Nalu's return.  Major: Worrying and waiting on Nalu return.  Minor: Still upgrading tower,  Orithar Trisk Orithar returns back to Corin's Inn where he didn't receive any funny looks and enjoys a spot of axe throwing, beer drinking and begins to treat the place as a last min winters holiday inn. During the evening he will look for the lady with blue skin, infernal heritage, with horns hoping she would be singing again. Orithar will ask the innkeep for her name and her favorite drink. At the end of her set, he will ask if she could care to join him for a round of her favorite. Orithar isn't looking for a one night stand (I'm not saying he wouldn't), he is generally attracted to her uniqueness and voice which is unlike him. He is definitely not shy about this fact and if she is willing to join him at a table, he will spend the night telling tales of how he got the scars from dying why saving a child of the stars, how he was burned at the hands of a fire god, and all the beautiful places such as the Margeve he has visited during his travels. Why leaving out any of that Syndra business. With any luck, Orithar will be spending a week on holiday and maybe with pleasant company.  

Urg Travels to Zobeck in the Margreve to inquire about possible buyers for the Blessed Cherry.  This the largest city Urg has been to, so it makes sense to start here.  He walks up to a map and picks the best sounding names; hoping that one of them might have some insight as to a specific buyer or who might hold an auction for the item. These are the three:  The Temple of Rava, The Shadow Fey Exchange, and the Arcane Collegium Urg says some variation of the following to each: "Hey. Yeah, um.  If a guy had a damaged soul, how would he go about getting it fixed?  Is there a market somewhere that you can buy something to fix that... where would...  I mean I still have my whole soul, but I can probably fix... Like for example if someone found like a Soul Redeeming Apple, and he didn't really need it but he knew it was worth a lot. Where maybe could this unreal person sell something like that?  Like a magic Soul Apple?" Veilitos TBD

Thorkell the Tall TBD Nasir Al'Rahka Continues to learn Anuirean from Bronsun (Week 2) Gork Wolfborn Continues to serve Syndra in the Blood Skull Barony. Having seen Orithar fight in close combat, Gork himself learns to become a proper war caster (feat, lvls up to lvl 4)

Korak (Midguardian week 3 if I failed in winter 3, or Athletics week 1) Continuing to learn from darvius for midguardian if I failed last weeks check or start learning athletics.  Hedrin (Supporting Cohort Trade in Margreve) Using the list Orlando gave Hedrin the boy will try and get acquainted with the guild masters on the list and ask questions about what resources they are in need of or have a limited supply of and takes a list of any materials mentioned, especially ones that seem foreign to Cerillia. Hopefully the boys appearance with the hundreds of gold he has spent and magic items he has acquired makes him look as though he is playing the part correctly and is taken seriously. He thanks these people for their time and promises to see if his guild can provide these resources and gives an address of where he can be reached. He returns to the Cohort ships and provides this list of materials and who they should be sent to and says to use his name as the contact when delivering. 

Nils Ullstein Location:   Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, Isle of Fabrica - Poor Lifestyle (0gp) Major Action: Nils continues his research on the sword found in the Temple of Elil specifically if it could be removed from the crystal without releasing a primordial.  Minor Action: None Shou Location:  Zoebeck - Poor Lifestyle (48cp) Major Action:  Shou crafts a potion of healing using plants he gathered on his recent trip to the Margreve using his herbalism kit for 25gp.  Minor Action: Looks for a crafter in Zoebeck to create some better medium armor (scale or breastplate) from the Spider/Snake scales (65lbs) he found. If possible he will try to exchange some of the scales to cover the cost - otherwise he will use funds from the sale of the Fey Cherry. (If this is a Major Action he would do this over crafting a potion)

Soho Jo Major action: Soho Jo adjusts to his new body, sleeping with a tail seems to be his biggest challenge.  Level 4 Salin Major action: Salin spends all his time talking about the Arcane Collegium and how he got his apprenticeship.  Level 4

Cedrych Brightbough Major: Continuing to learn Midgardian if attempt 2 failed. Attempt 3.

Savas Al-Hadar Major Action:   Savas will spend his time with Nasaadi and Eirena.  He wants to get to know Nasaadi better, what she likes and dislikes. Kazamir Zima Major Action:   If Kazimir gets enough XP to level up, that is what he will do.  Otherwise, he will spend his time in the Cohort, playing his pan flute in the common room for tips. Roland Major Action:  Roland will spend some time in the library, searching for information on where the "feywild" is, how to get there, and what is so damn special about these "acorns" he has to fetch.

Glenn Sturgis Glenn would like to look for a crafter to be able to craft the Spider Snake Scales into Plate armor and a shield. He might start with contacting the crafter that he met with Cedrych in the margreave.

Yaara Mielahoney Location:  Halls of the Cohort Arcanum - Isle of Fabrica After being in the presence of such an immense creature as the sun dragon, Yaara reflects on the dangers she has dealt with, and decides to focus on her training. She returns to the Cohort, and makes use of the trainers there. ( Major Action: Leveling up to Bard 7 )

Phage Will continue to learn   Draconic. If she has learned it she will start going around and asking the local folks about The Lady of Dreams and try to learn anything about Lutheria. Brognir Will keep spending time with his Crystal clone and learning what he can from him.

Raven Raven learns sleet storm? The tower is still in order. Hen Hen walks around Daugren, and discovers that the person she read about also happened to be a lich. Apparently he was sealed somewhere beneath the city. Hadrian Level up. Demi opens up a bit about her past, and mentions she's run away from home and that her family didn't treat her well. She doesn't go into any details. Chikat Chikat can purchase a fine set of dragon chess. Nerolia Nerolia creates a fantastic new song. Members of The Cohort enjoy it . Dragomir Nalu comes back, and Dragomir continues his work on his tower. Larmedylth doesn't tell any stories about her "auntie" and tells Drago that he will have to ask her himself. Orithar Orithar spends the week in the pleasant company of Llaegheaubhe. She's a strong woman, but a bit of a strange one. Her demeanor easily moves from fiery to cold in a matter of an instant. Urg Urg gets a few offers, but for embarrassingly low amounts. 10gp here, 100gp there... It appears most people take him for a sucker. Veilitos Thorkell Nasir Nasir learns Anuirean Gork Level up. Korak Korak learns Midgardian. Hedrin Hedrin goes around asking about setting up trade, but he discovers The Free City seems to have most of its needs met. They say they get goods from the Great Duchy of Morgau, the Grand Duchy of Dornig, Ironcrag, the Magdar Kingdom, the Wormwood, the Rothenian plains, and more. All places that sound far too large to exist on this island... Nils Nils does more research, and discovers it might be possible to remove the sword without releasing whatever is trapped inside the seal. However the process would involve a mix of dispel magic, blood, acid, holy water, and a variety of other things. With that said even if everything went right it's STILL possible he'd end up releasing whatever is inside of there. Shou Handled in session I believe. Soho Jo Level up.. Salin Level up. Cedrych Brightbough Cedrych learns Midgardian. Elishéva tells Cedrych that she has a multitude of buyers who might be interested. The biggest paying one being The Magian. Though he is also the riskiest mark. Kazimir Volkov Kazimir rests. Salazar di Fioretti Salazar learns the language. Bronsun Level up. Bronsun continues to teach Nasir. Lurleen Level up. Lurleen discovers that the sun dragon has been kidnapped! Antigone Barleyblaze Level up! Antigone makes friends with some of the local wildlife. Savas Al-Hadar Savas gets to know Nasaadi a bit better. He discovers that she loves spicy food, but that it makes her absolutely cry and sob like a baby the whole time she's eating it. He also discovers she's dyslexic. She HATES almonds. Kazamir Zima Kazamir plays his flute and levels up. Roland Roland discovers that it's well known that The Fae guards Wierch from The Gorgon. The fact that she lives there and is powerful enough over the land to keep him at bay must mean that a portal lies there somewhere. There's reports that some Cohort members recently travelled through it in Wasser's Reach. However they needed the branch of a dragon tree located in western Hjolvar. Glenn Sturgis Glenn can find a crafter capable of manufacturing the scales into plate armour in Mispera. A young goat horned tiefling man by the name of Karsten is quite good with a hammer. He asks how soon Glenn needs it done, how much he's willing to pay, and what quality extra materials he wants. (OOC: You can get the base armour you want discounted at half price made with the scales). Yaara Mielahoney Yaara levels up. Phage Phage learns Draconic, and asks about The Lady of Dreams. She discovers that the woman can sometimes be rather fickle in her nature, and considers mortals to be play things. Brognir Brognir discovers that his clone has most definitely been killed by the religious fanatics, but still feels his connection to it in many of these automatons that they are crafting. It's obvious to Brognir that these people are using the crystals to power their constructs. It doesn't seem they are giving the crystals a choice in the matter.
