Jack parts the clouds. Beneath them is an island larger than you have ever seen. Its sheer immensity floors you, and the fact that even from this great height you can't see the end of it. From a tall hill in your old home you could usually see at least one end. This island is easily a million times larger than yours.
His thoughts are interrupted as Beth dives from the end of the island and disappears beneath the cloud cover. Jack wants to use his powers to lift her back up, but she drops out of sight almost instantly and he has no chance. She plummets for almost a full minute as she struggles to force her wings open against the tearing force of the wind. The wind catches her wings, filling them. She soars wildly for a minute, nearly going into another free fall, but finally gets her flight under control. She flies around, enjoying the sensation for a short while, before catching an updraft and landing gracefully back onto the island. She giggles, giddy with the sheer terror and excitement of the thing, and her knees buckle. She collapses gently, still laughing.
Derry gets a beast mode.
Beth has wings.
Kyle can shape shift.
You get all this cool shit. The GM is a bastard and also lazy, so Jack gets a
boring new spell, and Alex can make golems from random shit.

Job/Abilities
Trainee Alchemist - Can use items on others, as well as identify most basic chemicals, metals, spices and herbs. Can make remedies and other concoctions.
Book Smart - You can read.
Make Golem - Create a golem from a pile of like materials (a bunch of rocks, a bunch of leaves, a pool of water). The way in which they are "like" can be vague, but the more clear the connection, the more powerful the golem is. Strength of the golem varies. The material which the golem is made of influences strength, abilities and personality. Golems are sentient, and 100% loyal to you.
Gear
Hooded Robes - Rough blue robes you found in an old chest while exploring the Oddway one night. They're a little big on you, and you wear three large leather belts (also too big) around your midsection to keep them from trailing. You've taken to hanging pouches and gourds from them to keep your remedies safe, as well as hold the many trinkets and oddities you find [+7 Inventory]. There's a hood, and you like to keep it bunched up around your neck to keep you warm.

Friend of the Earth - Knows a lot about the physical attributes and habits of animals and plant life, especially that which resides in the forest, though he's never been in one.

Good Sense - You seem to notice things that others don't, namely fine details. You always seem to know which way to go, and what to do. You're a natural leader, and the others tend to look up to you because of it [allies gain +1 to hit rolls when following your directions].
Gear
Perfect Longbow - BLANK
Russet Wings - A pair of small leather wings that you wear on your back. They usually make you play the dragon, and you hate it. You think you're more of a wyvern, personally.

Illusion - [cause an enemy to think he's in mortal danger. enemy will be distracted for one turn until he realises that he's not actually going to die; costs 1 MP]
Gear
Mysterious Artefact - A round, thin metal disc about six inches across with intricate carvings inlaid on either side. You usually keep it tucked away inside your shirt where no one can see it. Sometimes, when you look at it while you're alone, it glows with a strange blue light. You showed it to the others, and Alex claimed to recognise the symbols from something he saw in the Oldway. Everyone came to the unanimous decision that you should all head there in search of it.
