You try hard to progress your knowledge of herbalism, but perhaps it was the effort or perhaps the material is simply to hard for you to learn, because you make no progress towards learning more on the subject in the slightest.

Chornus
You take the chance to assist Trevor with identifying the pendant he obtained, you spend a few minutes looking its surface over but find nothing of use there so you decide to zap it with some raw magical energy which reveals the pendant's true purpose. As your magical energy touches the pendant it flings you backwards, tearing itself from your grasp, the bloody thing repels magic!

Jase Bladeheart
With your search a failure you leave the library, and head off to the smithy to sell some of your gear and purchase better equipment for your next mission, you get the sneaking suspicion that you're going to need it. With that done you head out through the village searching for Shay, but do not find her instead you stumble upon the Mayor's daughter in the same place you'd met Shay. She's sitting on a bench staring up at the leaves of the trees in deep thought ...

Trevor Abbot
You go and check the job board to find it has not changed much, other than the mission you just finished having been taken down.

Greenskin Extermination - For a few years now a tribe of goblins has taken residence in a nearby cave system where they've harassed the village and the outlying farms killing numerous people, countless animals, and burning dozens of harvests worth of crops. The people of the village have had enough and are offering a large reward to the group that can clear out the infestation and bring back proof of some sort that they are truly dead.
   Reward: 50 Gold Per Character, 4 XP for Quest Completion

Trolls of Greyskull Pass - Greyskull Pass, named due to the rather large cave near by the pass, is a major artery between Breton and the town of Martermill to the south which gets a lot of its food from Breton and the northern farming hamlets which send their food through the pass. Recently however caravans carrying the food south were attacked by a band of trolls which has taken up residence in the mountains nearby raiding hamlets and caravans for food, and treasure. The Lord of Martermill offers a large prize to any group which can rid the Pass of the trolls.
   Reward: 80 Gold Per Charater, 5 XP for Quest Completion

Alerd's Tomb - Alerd's Tomb is a small area of catacombs built into the mountains west of Breton where the knight hero Alerd was buried centuries ago, upon his entombment there with his seven companions the last of their band sealed the tomb with powerful magic. Rumor has it that the seal on the door has weakened, and that perhaps now those brave enough could enter and claim Alerd and his seven companions gear for themselves.
   Reward: 6 XP for Quest Completion

Name: Walt Bones
Gender: Male

Past Profession: Gladiator

Trait: (If this is allowed.) Troll. Has regenerative ability. Very ugly.

Troll is not an acceptable Trait since you have to start as human, trolls don't regenerate, and regenerating health in general is far to powerful of a trait :v

That new book still isn't in my inventory.

"Yes... I suppose it will."

Page through the new book while I still have the chance.

The Tomb.

((Hey, if I use a rag, some oil, and a flint and steel on the head of my spear, would the flaming effect be one I could copy with my Practiced Maintenance trait? Would it be effective in combat?))

"Um, excuse me ma'am. I didn't know anybody would be here. I hope I'm not bothering you.

Attempt to make conversation with Mayor's daughter.

((Was hoping we could get stronger before going after the tomb, but the tomb is fine with me. Still, I don't want to be the one moving ahead to look for traps or SKELETONS! I hate skeletons! Also, I hope I can get the knight gear if I survive.))

Right.
Lucy heads to the Inn to eat, then.

I'd rather deal with the goblins first so we could gear up a bit more, but...
I'm gonna go with the Tomb as well, although given our previous encounter with a magical enemy... Yeeeeaaaah....

Indeed that is an effect you could copy with Practiced Maintenance and it would work well in combat.

((Can we still play once we achieve Hero status?))
Nope, once you guys become a hero (if you do) then you've won the game.

((Derm, can I borrow your rag, flint and steel, and some oil? I'll give it back, promise. Once it goes out, of course. Although I don't doubt you'd be the one character able to accept a flaming rag and put it in your pocket with no problems.  :P))

Chornus
You delve into the book you found with a passion, and quickly begin to understand why the magic is called Wilder Magic by the writer. The magic itself is simple enough for most people to learn due to the fact that it doesn't rely on magical power at all, but instead draws from the users physical health to power the spells it casts. Its not long before you discover the secrets to the book's first spell, something the writer calls the Power Within that appears to boost the overall strength and speed of the one it is cast upon at a cost to their physical health diminishing while its active. Strangely enough the spell only takes power from the one its used on, not the caster ...

Jase Bladeheart
"Um, excuse me ma'am. I didn't know anybody would be here. I hope I'm not bothering you."

The Mayor's daughter jumps when she hears your voice, but visible relaxing when she notices who it is talking to her. Sighing she stands up a turns to you,

"I was hoping to find one of you lot wandering about, I have something to tell you since my father refuses to hoping you'll stay and do all the hard work for him, and his men. An army is going to pass through town in a week or so heading for the Red Wastes, the war has taken a turn for a worst there and they're taking on anyone willing to fight so if that interests your companions make sure to return and tag along with it when it heads east. Perhaps it'll be the break you lot are looking for."

With that she walks past you, and starts to make her way out into the street.


One more update before the Alerd's Tombs update begins, finish up any last minute actions now. (Such as getting an engineer to look at the Report you wrote Froggy Ninja :P)

(-4 HP!?  Wow, literally never using that on myself. Ever.
Edit: Mixed up HP and MP somehow. Still not the most brilliant idea.)

((Edit2: Also, no +2 to research?))

(((Edit3: Book still not in inventory.)))



This spell, while... interesting, isn't of direct personal use to me. Search the book one last time before we go, preferably for something visually similar withering blast!
