Jacques apologizes profusely for making such a mess of things, and offers to help clean up. Not with magic; he doesn't feel quite up to another spell, just a mop or something.

Aile smiled, she was back in her humble abode with much time on her hands. The strange namu would have to wait until later on.

For now, it was time to make some medicine.

Utilize the mortal and pestle on grinding the curing and fever-curing herbs into a medicinal product.

[The Fool]

Thoki scratched his head, thinking of where he heard the term before as he took a sip of his grape wine. It's flavor was sweet. It donned on him where he'd heard the term, it was a character in one of the occult books he read. It must have just slipped his mind. He quickly thought of something to say to the bartender to explain himself. He grabbed his pince-nez and wiped them using a small cloth that he usually kept in his pocket. He stopped after just one lens and pointed them at the bartender as he talked.

"It was a term I picked up from an old book I read. It's kind of like a bounty hunter I guess, someone who stops criminals anyways. How about bounties then, are there any?"

Inquire about bounties and ask for an apple if he happens to have one.

1,4,6->6

You do not know what it is to be like that ... You can see perfectly, but you are also perfectly visible. Your invisibility is limited to patchy sections all over your body.

You use 2 power.


Inser

You pick up a pebble that sat there funny. You concentrate your will on the pebble, and will it out of existence.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The pebble sits there. You use 1 power.

You try again, since the chief hasn't noticed you already did your stuff.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

3,5,5

The rock shivers for a moment before folding in onto itself. You use 1 power, and you gain some other kind of power. Not power, but power. This other power feels heavy and somewhat coarse.

"Hmph. That's ... impressive. So, what do you want to do...?"

+2 other power / 50


Salden

You touch the totem again. Nothing happens; not even a jolt or other sensation. The wood is warm to the touch.

*thwack*

Your masterful shot nails the boar in the head. It quickly stops struggling and stands in the mud.


Jacques

You help le bartender clean up the ice and snow. He nods in thanks.

After that event, le bartender treats you to a glass of strawberry wine. It smells crisp and sweet, with just a hint of bitter tannin.

"So... are you going to do anything with that talent of your's?"


Aile

You grind up the herbs.

You make a mistake, and some of the plant falls onto the floor.

Again, your hands slip, and more of the precious pulp is dropped.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

3+1

You move the nicely mashed herbal mixture into a jar and fill it with alcohol, before screwing the cover closed and setting it in the shade. It should be potent and enough for about ten portions by tomorrow.

The sun slowly sets.


John (Make sure to include your profile)

You sleep.


The next day is overcast, but warm. The first month of the year, Troubard, is usually temperate and amiable. You feel well rested.


Nix

You focus REALLY HARD.

What do you focus on?

[Flying Dice]

Curious. Evidently, I'll need a better understanding of how this power works to properly control it. That's all for now, I suppose. It's already evening, and working on the basics of this power is... tiring.

Mier walks to his hut on the edge of the village.

It is a simple, single-room structure, humbly furnished.

Mier goes to sleep, planning to head to the center of the village tomorrow to seek work, preferably his usual fare-delivery of messages and packages, information-gathering, and the like, though he will turn down almost nothing. As he lies down to sleep, he tries to create another orb of light above his head.

Jacques considered the question, sipping the wine. What was he going to do with this new power? He didn't really have a plan beyond this point. He hadn't thought it through that far at all.

"I... do not know what all I can do with it. I know that I can make ze snow, but it is so exhausting to do so. Perhaps it will get easier with practice. That is what I will do for now, le barman. I will go back to the namu and practice until I am better at making ze ice and snow. It would not do to practice in town, and make it so cold, oui?"

Jacques finished his drink and returned the glass to le barman before inviting the bar to come along and watch, if they wanted to.

Jacques heads back to the namu and has a look around, hoping to discover more about his powers.

o_O What did you expect here? :3

The orb of light again appears. It is as bright as a small candle, but does not flicker, and also moves at your whim. It does not bob. You extinguish it with a slight thought and go to sleep.

[Power set to 6/6]

The next day, you go to the center of town to find work.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[6->3]

There is a man that seems in urgent need of a delivery. You go up and speak to him. He has a black robe covering his whole body, and the hood obscures his face.

"I have a quick message to send to the south west village. I know it is on the opposite side from here, but I can pay."

He shows you a small, stamped piece of paper. It is an f₁₀₀ note. It is worth one hundred copper coins that have a square hole through them, and is backed by the big temple that is in the north village. Of course, few of the people in the nine villages actually believe the temple's priests and gods - most have been brought up to the story of the three forces of creation - but they do enjoy its services. Apparently, the temple was established by outsiders about twenty years ago.

Without waiting for an answer, he presses the note into your hand, and mutters, after looking around to make sure no-one is eavesdropping,

"Go to the bar, and tell the man known as le bartender (yes, that is his name) that he is to execute plan gamma. Recite it to me."

> Recite it to him, then go off?
> Deny, and return note?


Inser

"Hmm... well, you know that merchants come every so often to trade. They are outsiders, and they come from somewhere to the east. The nine villages are in a 'basin', which means there is a ring of high mountains surrounding them. It should take a week on foot to get to the pass the merchants come through."


Salden

You pick up a handful of dirt. You have an idea before you start using your magic: you roughly shape the dirt into a cup shape, before willing it to be.

[2,2,2]

Nothing happens. You feel 1 power leaving you.
You then touch the totem again, but nothing happens, still.


Kaelan

You make the mud release its hold on the boar. With your thought, the mud turns back into the springy grass it was, and the boar is ejected from the ground. You scramble over and sling it over your back, before starting on the trek to the village.

The sun is setting as you enter the outskirts of the village.


Jacques

Le bartender declines, saying he has business to do, and Jacques heads out without him.

You look at the namu. You look at your hands. You look back at the namu.
