"Greetings friend, I am Han Yu; this is my companion, Lieutenant Dàelen, and my ally Fu Qyu. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"
Greetings. My Name is Skeliborn and I welcome you to this outpost.

I htought he went scouting one whole turn ago? so it;s not like it was unexpected that he'd be gone for a while, right?

I welcome the company. Especially after the attack by whatever hivemind it was that came to just outside my walls last night. Luckily it seemed not to like fire too much. Or at least, those it takes who are weak to fire are still weak to fire. Later in the night I think it sent a stronger body after me but for some reason it decided to spare me that night. Makes me wish that I was a wizard. One of the ones that could shoot fireballs. Unfortunately, I can't be a wizard since I don't have a beard.

This game is grinding to a halt, so I think I'll spice it up a bit...

Turn 3 of Day 11 has begun!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Julio sets to stacking rocks around the cave entrance, making it much harder to locate. He also prepares a large pile of wood inside the cave for both firewood and to create spikes.

You easily hide your cavern, and get some wood when you finish. You don't have enough wood to build spikes, so you decide to just make a fire for now. You warm your hands over the crackling wood.

Han Yu and Feu/Skeliborn the Third

Han Yu and Skeliborn spend a while chatting, and Skeliborn agrees that Han Yu and his party can stay at his palisade, due to their shared distaste for the possessed.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Han Yu takes a deep breath, sits on the floor, and attempts to understand his power.

You meditate. You can feel the power within you, and yet you simply need to find a way to release it. There are an infinite number of keys arrayed out before you, and all of them can unlock the power - rage, anger, sadness, joy, and complacency are just a few. One, however, sticks out to you - battle. Indeed, you always felt the inner fire of a warrior within yourself.

Something you can and will never understand happens. Indeed, even I, the omniscient narrator, cannot explain it.

Han Yu has found his power.


"Hmm. Should probably start with something simpler."

Attempt to shatter a small stone using magic.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You pick up a stone and try to shatter it. Nothing happens. You pick up a pebble and try again. Nothing happens. You pick up a grain of sand and try to just lift it a few inches in the air. You see it wobble, get excited, and lose focus. It stops wobbling.

You repeat this process over and over, and feel that the practice itself isn't helping you, rather the process of perseverance and the concept of practice itself are. By nightfall, you can actually see the grain of sand floating slightly. It's by no means helpful, but it's better than nothing.


Now to find a Stick...
Spoiler: Xrasitas (click to show/hide)

Find a stick? Hell, you find a whole tree! You spend a while hacking off sticks from the tree. Your sharpened rocks help quite a bit. You have enough sticks to light a toasty fire, and make a few basic torches. That, however, can wait. First, you need a weapon.
You get

Blunt stick x 4, +1 attack


Get more tinder
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

After watching Han meditate for a while, you head out to make some more tinder. You collect some dry leaves and grasses, crush them to a powder, and add a few snapped twigs to make some rudimentary tinder.
You get

Tinder x 2

Sleep. If I get asked if I want to go to the Palisade for the night I will accept.

They'll probably come again tonight. You guys think we can hold them off again?
Fu will practice with his bow until nightfall.

Han Yu gazes at the setting sun thoughtfully.
"Hopefully we can. I will go with Dàelen to get Julio before nightfall; we would have a far larger chance of making it through the night with his aid."

Han Yu goes with Dàelen to try to find Julio before nightfall comes.
