Hedrin (Elee: Trying to learn something from the druid in Incot Village) The woman will not talk to Hedrin at all for one reason or another. Korak Handled in session. Raven Tonks Rowan (Elee: Communing with the Margreve, looking to help it) Raven hears a voice speak to her in her head. "In the silent and shadowy depths of the Margreve, the veil between Midgard and the Shadow Realm thins. There, in the center of the elder forest, the heart of Derende sits petrified in an ancient grove. The heart is made of steel-hard wood, and it grows from the trunk of a massive tree. The shadows are unnaturally long in the heart's grove, and the animals and other denizens of the forest avoid this place. Once a year when the stars are aligned, The Heart of Derende beats once. When it does, the entire forest creaks and shifts; the canopy sways as if a great wind blows through it, and all light temporarily disappears from the forest floor. The fey of the Shadow Realm gather for this annual event. In the days leading to the heart's single beat, the shadow fey celebrate; they hold feasts and sing dark songs in honour of Derende. The festivities reach a climax when the heart finally beats, and one of the celebrants is transformed by the Primal Tender's lingering magic. The avatar of Derende is selected randomly from among those present for the heart's beating. The avatar returns to the Shadow Realm, where it lopes through the wilds, devouring what it will. This year however, much to the disappointment of the fey present for the event, a humble insect was selected as the avatar. The creature grew massive and fierce and drove away the celebrants. Now, having made a lair in the heart of the Margreve, this Derendian moth abomination terrorizes the residents of the forest." Hen Hen finds a list of known oozes, though the book doesn't provide any information at all beyond their names. "Dipsa, Oblex, Gray, Sooze, Alchemical, Suppurating, Gelantinous, Ochre Jelly, Sleeping Death Skeleton, Purple Slime, Shadow, Slithering Tracker, Black Pudding, Ink Guardian, Philospher's Ghost, Sap Demon, Skitterhaunt, Corrupting, Yaga Goo, Blood, Ruby, Giant Shark Bowl, Oozasis, Foxfire." Hadrian Darkleaf Hadrian discovers that Το φίδι της λίμνης (To fídi tis límnis, or The Serpent of the Lake) is an ancient creature that has been around since the time of the titans. It has a deep passion for beauty in this world, and that includes the beauty of love and marriage. Apparently mortals made a contract with it long ago to oversee their weddings. It's said that if it's ever attacked the contract will be broken, and future weddings will not be ordained by the gods. It's also said that many places have lakes that Το φίδι της λίμνης is known to show itself. Rendi Theocus Rendi continues to deepen his natural connection. Chikat Stonehaven Cordie seems somewhat more focused now for some reason. The lessons progress more smoothly and Chikat successfully learns Midgardian. Nerolia Nerolia continues to improve her skills, preparing for the next adventure. Drago & Nalu Dragomir gets 500gp worth of supplies for his tower in exchange for his renown. Even that's taxing on the nation at this time. Orithar Trisk Orithar will continue to need more time with the axe. Nubby Nubby is a natural in the kitchen, and immediately picks up the use of cook's utensils! People still need to insist that he boils, bakes or mashes his potatoes before serving them alongside his meals. Jannis the Red (Elee: Wanting to reclass, week 1. Checking if this was OK'd) Retraining week 1. Eirena Lightshadow (Elee: Wanting to reclass, week 1. Checking if this was OK'd) Retraining week 1 Alvah Laurent Alvah has a very difficult time with Vos. The lack of a written form of the language makes it harder to visualise the words as they're spoken. She will need more time to learn this language. Takumir Jachral Takumir continues his training and finds his skills improve! Sithric Sidhefriend (Elee: Writing a letter regarding vampire mission, will likely be handled in session) Handled in session. Robert Bossouri Robert spends some gold to hire a trainer, though the person he hired clearly doesn't actually know the language. They insist though that Rob is just having a slow start and that this wasn't a scam. Rulenoff Rulenoff levels up, swearing in his oath to the temple he found his faith in. Kobal Cordie Cordie levels up, growing ever more capable with her innate magic. Lyla Lyla discovers new abilities and spells, totally by accident. Saoirse Saorise finishes her training in sign language. Finally. Medi (Elee: Reclassing, week 1) Retraining week 1. Cedrych Brightbough (Elee: Commissioning a magic beetle cloak in Zobeck) Handled in session. Kazimir Volkov TBD Salazar di Fioretti Salazar is a quick study. Some would call the language of dragons harsh and intimidating but Salazar is able to hear the music behind it, the intricate complexities of a tongue designed by ancient, immortal creatures. He successfully learns Draconic. Nils Ullstein (Elee: Further research and preparation into unsealing the sword from the temple of Elil) Handled in session. Shou Shou continues training to hide. One day Cedrych walks up to one of Shou's burrows to get him out for the day's training and finds it empty, having walked right by where the piney was hiding. Shou is now proficient in Stealth. (Elee: Checking up on the activities of the Thorn King) That would be the research downtime action (you only get one downtime action per week). Brognir Brognir continues his journey as a warrior and attains new heights. Phage Phage learns that elves, dwarves, and humans were not natives to Thylea. They somehow washed up on shore there long after the history of the land had existed. Glenn Glenn hires a trainer, although the person he finds also happens to be an avid baker, and so much of the sessions devolve into discussions on recipes for cookies, cakes and other sweets. He does not make much progress yet.
