---Terkiey--
Terkiey will do anything to help out.
Terkiey nods once and speaks. "I'll help in any way I can." The man breathes a weary sigh of relief and starts running, presumably, towards the scene of the accident, gesturing for Terkiey to follow him, and thus Terkiey does. The accident was in another barn, and quite an old one at that. The beam that fell was probably rotted and eaten away by termites, so it was no wonder it fell.
Terkiey arrived at the scene to find a girl, surrounded by 3 people, presumably the rest of her family. Terkiey rushed forward and kneeled beside the girl, as her father pulled the other people aside. Terkiey was surprised to see that the girl was quite beautiful, and couldn't have been older than 15. Terkiey ignored the fact and examined her injuries quietly.
The girl was bloodied on the side of her head, and her right arm was twisted unusually. Terkiey looked to the side and saw the beam that had fallen. It was large, and ringed with metal as to reinforce it. The metal hadn't done much, Terkiey guessed. Now, the spell to heal her... She appeared to have a concussion, and her arm was dislocated, and probably fractured as well. He could do a simple packet spell,
Heal, or he could go with the specifics, which would involve several smaller spells. And her wounds had to be cleaned, too. Which should he do?

---Astral Gorgas---
Astral will ride the Roadwerk as close to the Cog as he could, then walk there in a fast but not too questionable pace.
After reaching the Cog, find a memorable location outside to mark up in case things go bad while inside.
Then head inside, looking for the location to set the package off at.
Astral had thought that the Roadwerk was coming from Dar and going towards the Cog, but it was the other way around. No matter; Astral would walk first. It really made no difference, since Astral had been walking, sprinting, and even more often sneaking through the forest since he had been a young boy. Besides, it was good exercise, unlike some. Those sleazy magidoctors and their ‘fat-removing spells’. Ugh.
Astral made his plan as he walked towards the Cog; he would find a good location to retreat to if things got too hot on the inside. Astral continued to plot and figure as he reached the Roadwerk Half-station and got a ride to the Cog. Astral had to admit; Roadwerks were extremely efficient. Apparently they were a fairly new invention made possible by Magitech. Friction-reducing spells, although hard to upkeep, did wondrous things to machines. And then, finally, Astral was there. He could see why it was called the Cog, for a massive arch themed as if to be a cog towered over the main gate. Astral could see near opaque windows at the top of the arch, and had no chance not to notice the turreted cannons anchored all along the arch. It seemed the arch doubled as a guard post, and probably an effective one at that.
Tearing his eyes away from the imposing construction, Astral examined the area. Clusters of buildings had rooted themselves around the two bases of the arch, and a strange sculpture stood in the middle of the open gate, like a boulder parting the waters of a stream. The sculpture would do nicely as a landmark, Astral thought.
Astral tapped his backpack, where he had placed his package. Now, where to?

---Nikalas--
Nikalas getd up and leavs the libaray. He then goes andmeets with his empyloer.
Nikalas took a tired yawn before getting up and readying himself. It didn’t take long, as usual. He had little prepare. Nikalas walked out of the library and headed towards the given location: the Western Gate. It wasn’t a far walk, as the library was centered in the western part of town. Soon, Nikalas reached his destination. Nithiri stood by the gate, just as promised. Two other people stood with her. As Nikalas stepped up next to the small group, Nithiri glanced at him, and then spoke.
“Good. It appears everyone is here, so I might as well explain now. “
Nithiri pauses, and then continues.
“The Staff of Amaj-ur. One of the most elusive objects out there; there is almost no hint to where it resides. But, I’ve found something: a map. I won’t tell you what it is of, but just know that it can possibly lead us to our goal. First, however, we access the underground, through a mountain in the north, far northeast of the Cog. We leave now. Any questions?”
Nithiri finishes speaking and starts tapping her foot on the ground. All is quiet.

---Micka Sitchof---
I start on a largeish project: an Introspection Machine. Big furniture-shaped thing with a chair to sit in or a simple wearable circlet depending on what I can make, but probably the former for now. As much as possible detected by mind magic, and feed as the input to a narrowly specialized artificial mind which analyses it, compares it to records, look for trends and oddities, extrapolates and fills in the gaps that couldn't be read, and finaly compresses it. This compressed version is stored (with a timestamp), and also finally fed back into the brain from whence it came formatted to seem like an new external sense.
The compression process plus delay prevents infinite recursion, although finite recursion is both expected and intended.
Also a simple replay function, trigger however magic is usually triggered with a time as input.
Micka remembered an idea she had thought of some time ago: An introspection machine. It was quite a large project, but Micka believed she had enough time and resources to finish it. She would start first with the finer parts of the machine, the artificial mind and the detector. The detector is the easier of the two; a fairly simple magitech construction that uses mind magic to probe a mind, and then convert it to a format usable by a machine. A
probe mind spell should do it. You begin work on the detector.
--
Ah, you’re done! You used two magitech parts, as well as the
probe mind spell, but you certainly got results. The detector does what a probe mind spell does, but formats it and gets it ready to be sent to wherever. Now, what next? Ah, the artificial intelligence. That would be somewhat of a bother, although the artificial intelligence needed wasn’t super advanced. Micka would get to work shortly.
