[Roboson]

'What sweetly abominable wisdom blossoms within the wells of text that compose these horrifically fascinating books!' Thought the Doctor, almost aloud but not quite silent either. A grunt of scholarly intrigue at a topic most delightfully afoul of the norms the world has convinced itself are "good." The Doctor was delighted, and continued reading trying to learn as much magic as possible.

[Kashyyk]

"Very well. I'll go see my room then."

Aliss heads into the tower, find her room, and leaves her travel bag there after searching it for anything interesting. She then swings by the Library to see if its free, hoping to study Bone magic further. If not possible, she'll head over to the Manaforge and see if she can guess at why it won't work.

[TricMagic]

"Guess not then.."

Lee goes back inside and places the jawbone on one of the tables,

"In which way does the wind blow?" A tower like this must have a storage room for items of value. Let's see what's there.

Head to the Storage Room to see what valuables exist. Given this place's nature, maybe there is some magical amulet around. Or a staff.

[IronyOwl]

"Well, whatever else may come, at least we won't have to eat like beggars!" Marvio exclaims. While those fools were wriggling over each other trying to get into the library first, he'd hone his other great craft and enjoy himself for a change!

Marvio will begin cooking and experimenting with the various... utensils lying about. Surely a connoisseur of his stature should have no difficulty figuring them out... right?

[Ghazkull]

((The Prologue is mostly there to establish your affinities and bonuses for the beginning of the game, so some railroading will happen and some of you will not recieve any more actions, so that we can finish this up...in some cases that might mean that some of you unfortunately cannot take certain actions))

Tessrym

You enter the Scrying chamber in the tower and to your surprise and delight you find all the things you suspected there: a pool of water in a marble basin, a blackened mirror in the corner, a crystal ball, even various more ancient methods, like decks of cards and small satchels filled with bones of various creatures, inscripted with runes unknown to you. [5] Idly walking over to the basin of water you take a peek, finding yourself drawn in towards the swirling strangeness of it. As you peer into it, you are shown various locations around the swamp. That of the aforementioned horse, a bog with no further discernible features and...a pile of rocks below the tower.

Tessrym gains affinity for scrying. +1 to all scrying rolls.

Dr.McAbre

Fascinated by the books you found you quickly begin to go through more...but you find all of them tightly shut. No amount of strength used on them opens them. Suddenly the door of the library opens and with irresistible force you find yourself leaving the library, which shuts behind you. You attempt to open it again, but it won't open for you.


Aliss

[1] You find a cracked old mace below your bed. Ignoring it for now you decide to go to the library. You find McAbre futilely trying to open the door, before giving up. You try the handle yourself and it opens easily.
Inside you find a number of interesting books on the element of bone.

Aliss gains affinity for Bone Magic
Aliss has an ancient cracled Mace under her bed.

Lee

The storage room is mostly empty, rather boring really. You notice a heap of stones in the corner. It consists of the same stone the tower is made of. In fact, it looks exactly like stones taken from the tower. Pondering the implications of what that means for the statics and stability of the tower, you idly run a hand across them only to pull back your hand in surprise as the heap of stones forms a somewhat humanoid form. the giant of stone stares at you silently...

Marvio

[3] Well...these implements definetly take time to master. What you produce from them is by no means bad, especially since the larder seems to have everything you wish for at any given time...but it isn't even remotely close to your best...oh well.

[IronyOwl]

"No doubt I'll get the hang of it eventually," Marvio chortles, waving a hand at his feast. "Now, perhaps I should become more acquainted with the place? Probably... ah! The opposite of fresh air, of course!"

Take a leisurely stroll in the catacombs while snacking.

[Kashyyk]

Having grasped the basics, Aliss felt it was time to put things into practice. She received the mace from under her bed, and went to the pantry in ten search for a large bone. One you'd get in a nice lamb shank or the like.

Then, using her knowledge of Bone magic, she attempts to rehaft the mace head on the bone and strengthen it so it is at least as strong as a wood hefted mace.

"I hope this works..."

[Shadowclaw777]

“Hmm I wonder if when I scry, I could tune and hone it for a specific image in my mind. Maybe with specification and attuning myself to the focus to get a desired image”

Tessrym shall go and utilize the black mirror, shall direct his mind and state ”Oh mighty mirror of all knowledge, generate an arcane sensor to the creature I’ll declare. Present an image of the most nearby... dragon”, if that doesn’t work he states he wants an image of the most nearby crocodile

Tessrym could get a chuckle to see if one these fantastical beast really did exist, but the confirmation of a hypothesis was his question. He wanted to know if you actually needed the name for a respective creature or location to actually scry for it.

[Roboson]

The frustrated magelet lets out a frustrated Hmmff!, as they leave the library alone for a bit. He briefly considers trying to secure a library card, but didn't see any librarians. Impossible to get good help these days. He wanders over to his room to see what it's like, looking out for interesting things and whatnot as he goes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Basically, checking out the room, but if there is railroading to be done and story to be pushed along, totally down to stumble into that instead.

[TricMagic]

Looking curiously at this earthen magic, Lee Acts.

"Hi, I'm Lee." She waves.

Note, try and show this Golem my experience with following the wind. I guess it brought me here for some reason. If it attacks, simply dodge for a bit trying to calm it down.

[Ghazkull]

Marvio

Having cooked to your hearts content you head for the catacombs, passing by lee who is talking to what you assume is a living pile of stones and further downwards. [3] you find nothing interesting really...

Tessrym

[3+1] The blackened mirror swirls before you until finally you see it homing in on the tower. It shows you...from behind and then you are looking through the mirror as if it was your eyes. Vertigo fills you as it begins to race away across the landscape heading over bogs and forests, tiny villages, larger villages then plains, towns and cities further and further, crossing the sea, passing deserts until finally it stops in a jungle showing you...a crocodile.

Aliss

You easily find the ramins from Marvios cooking spree and grab a particularly large bone from the heap to use in your experiment. [Auto Fail] The mace crackles with dark magic as you attempt to fuse it with the thighbone and like touching an eletrically charged carpet you get something akin to a shock, dropping the mace in pain. Your hand feels awfully numb...hopefully this is only temporary...

Dr.McArbre

Wandering the tower, you find yourself at the top of it, a single room there, unlabelled. A look inside shows you that it is slightly better appointed than the other rooms and that it contains a journal as well as something wrapped in white linen.

Lee

Your own attunement with wind makes connectign with this being of earth a strange experience to say the list. It tastes differently smells differently and is more...grounded.
As you wave at it, it waves back, staring at you blankly as if awaiting for something to happen.

[Kashyyk]

"Maybe I should be more careful about infusing ancient tower-artefacts with magic..."

Nursing her numb hand, Aliss takes the mace with her to the library. Hopefully by "looking" at it the same way she examined Helfd, and with the library's many books, she might be able to identify the magic surrounding the mace.

[Shadowclaw777]

“Okay then no cool information, maybe I need information of creature’s true name and whatnot. I should probably experiment on a later on specific characters I know. However I should investigate my bedchamber to see if anything special is there”

Tessrym heads over his living quarters and sees if there is anything interesting in there or not

[IronyOwl]

Check out the mana forge. Can I figure anything out about how it works, or should work?

[TricMagic]

Reach out my hand and press my wind against it as it also reaches out.
