Alright, the enemy no longer has ranged units, and all move slower than us. I propose that we can now safely sprint away until we're just out of their charge range (8 tiles) and pelt them with 1 damage rocks until they succumb, being dumb crab zombies which don't know how to outmaneuver us. This plan is safe and reliable, but might take a few turns.
So, autoresolve please? :3

Rumors:
● The Shadesparrow family has a history of dealing with dark powers and has loose ties to the Yiga.
● When members of the secretive Shadesparrow family turn 18, they're sent off into the world to travel and experience on their own, to gather information and prove themselves.
● Isha was a child prodigy, loved by her family for her intelligence and will to learn.

Appearance:
A Shiekah teenager or young adult of limited stature, Isha doesn't seem much like the sort of person who could survive on her own. Though reasonably physically fit for someone her age, something in her posture or attitude makes her seem reluctant, uncertain.
She has quite long white hair kept in a bun, and as is normal for Shiekah, red eyes. She's fairly short, at 5' 2". She wears round spectacles, which are needed for her vision.
Also she talks in this accent.

Personality:
Isha is an inexhaustible source of naive optimism and positivity! Or at least, presents a passable front of the same. She is curious and clearly enjoys seeing and learning of new things. She is liable to complain a little about inclement weather or food of inadequate quality. She's used to getting at least a little attention and dislikes being alone.
In terms of combat, she prefers to avoid enemies or else destroy them as quickly as possible, minimizing risk. In a fight she follows orders and keeps quiet.

Basically this, with the addition that Inade or Isha should Coordinate with Fenil to allow her to fire two 14-damage arcane projectile attacks per turn.  Reed has slightly better stats for coordinate, but can deal 10 damage at a range.

As much as anything, I'm stating this to get used to the manuever system.

Rumors:
● Fenil was groomed from a very young age to be a spy and assassin for her secretive masters, possibly the Yiga.
● Fenil is considered little more than a tool; valuable for her talents and power, but inherently disposable beyond them.
● Fenil conceals her true age through magic, to make her enemies underestimate her.

Appearance:
A somewhat short sheika woman, standing at 5' 4", whose intense red gaze betrays a calm violence sitting just under the surface.  Though she seems to be leaving her youth--she appears to be into her thirties--she's still quite beautiful, and willing to show it.  Her light armor hugs her form closely, and she proudly shows off her long, immaculately kept hair.

Her demeanor is aggressive and confident, almost imperious, but can flip at a moment's notice to a watchful silence, or a honeyed sultriness.  If one spends a great deal of time around her, they tend to get a sense of artificiality--that the woman's behavior is usually a precisely chosen act, rather than truthful expression.  It all seems genuine in the moment... but on reflection her emotions are simply too perfect.

[Remalle]

Basically this, with the addition that Inade or Isha should Coordinate with Fenil to allow her to fire two 14-damage arcane projectile attacks per turn.  Reed has slightly better stats for coordinate, but can deal 10 damage at a range.

"Not bad, crabs, but I'm afraid my armour is a bit stronger than yours! That said, no sense in fighting for the sake of fighting. Everyone, get yourselves to safety!"
Do the coordinate thing, fighting retreat!

Fluff:
An idealistic zora knight who tries to embody their conception of chivalric ideas as best they can. Standing nearly twice as tall as your average hylian even when not mounted, wielding a spear that is taller still, and clad all in shining armour, Inade cuts an imposing figure to enemies, and an inspiring one to friends. Their features are fairly average as zora go, with deep blue skin bordering on a dark purple and yellow eyes. They rarely smile and usually look concerned or worried, regardless of their feelings.
Born 80 years ago in Labrynna, they grew up idolizing the heroic figures of both zora and hylian legends, their martial prowess and virtues. They spent time among both races as they grew into adulthood and merged both martial traditions as they became the journey to knighthood. They were recognized for their martial prowess and selected to be a part of an expedition to Crescent Island to establish a colony. Disaster struck when half of the settlement inexplicably transformed into zola overnight, causing chaos from which only a few survivors made it out alive. Inade spent years living with the native Tokay people, but eventually struck out on their own again when sails finally appeared on the horizon again.

Rumours:
They once defended a ford single-handedly for an entire day, cutting down dozens of enemies and letting civilians evacuate.
They once were challenged by, and defeated, three Hylian knights in duels on the same day, befriending them all afterward.
They have spent months living among the Lizalfos tribes and have learnt their language.

1st Hour of Morning, Day 2: Crabtacular Conclusion


Everyone kites the dumb crabs to death. Redeath? Whatever it is, it's tedious and awful but not terribly difficult; the shambling monsters possess no strategy to speak of, and continue pursuing until they've been whittled all the way down.

Red Group pries eight Moldy Chitin (Rank 1 Monster Part) and four Crab Dust (Rank 0 Monster Part) from the slain crabs. They also find something strange in one of the shamblers- a sort of golden ticket or emblem of some kind. It's a rectangular strip of high quality cloth, bearing an image of three carrots on one side, what appears to be a bottle on the other, and strange writing (you think) in the middle.

Isha Arcana: [4][2]+3 = 9
Reed Arcana: [2][2]+3 = 7

Nobody present is sure why an undead crab would contain such a thing.

The pirates, by this time, have also dealt with their group, and are similarly exhausted and displeased by the existence of crabs.

"Maybe no natives after all," the moblin captain concedes. "Eaten by crabs? Will have hard camp if not. Hrm."

Nonetheless, he leads the group east, through sand infested with thick, fluffy-looking yellow worms. Reed is fairly certain they would qualify as a Spongy elixir ingredient, and thus provide resistance to Water damage.

Several hours later, you hit some more rocky outcroppings and turn northeast. This takes you over some considerably flatter outcroppings of pale white stone, knobbly in appearance, almost like softly glowing bones fused together.

Several hours after that, dawn breaks. You are still in the middle of endless sand, and even the pirates look exhausted and bewildered.

"We'll be in a right fix if we can't find some lumber," Salty Pete warns. "Ye can make shelter outta stone, but we haven't the tools for it."

The moblin captains snorts and considers his options.


Yellow Group harvests four Moldy Chitin (Rank 1 Monster Part) from the slain crabs. Archeologist picks himself back up, but is Injured and thus takes a -1 penalty to all Traits grouped under the Aspect of Power. This will go away when he takes an Extended Rest, assuming he also eats during said rest.

Loudly complaining about crabs, the fairy continues to lead the group after the captain, running over the same sights and resources as Red Group.

[Egan_BW]

"I must admit that I'm not feeling great about the existence of crabs right now, and the continued presence of sand is also wearing on my patience."

Isha sits down in the sand, glaring somewhat resentfully at the sun.

"I guess it might be necessary, then. I know a magical song which would let me look into the future, sort of. It's supposed to be a way to contact the Goddess of Time... I haven't actually used it."

Appearance: Solun is slimmer than one would likely expect from a blacksmith, especially one who smiths in the hardy style of the Gorons, and relatively tall, as well. His skin is moderately tanned, and his hands and forearms especially have a scattering of old burns from smithing and tinkering. Since the shipwreck, his clothes have been restricted to his black undershirt, his scorch-stained leather apron, and a pair of brown trousers, as well as a dark red hood that one of the pirates had been wearing. Under the hood, it's easy to see some lightly-colored beard scruff; further up, his light-brown eyes sometimes gleam red when the light hits them at a certain angle, though considering that he tends to keep them in the hood's shade, this is rare. Curiously, what few strands of his hair escape the hood appear to be an odd pink shade.

Personality: Solun is a generally helpful person, which helps deal with the fact that most of what comes out of his mouth is usually either facts about the situation or sarcastic remarks. He seems to always expect things to go wrong if he's not watching over the process.
While smithing, he seems noticeably happier, and he's much more willing to engage in conversation and talk about his thoughts (especially on the topic of smithing, mechanics, or enchantment). Even during such times, however, he will clam up if anybody asks him about his past.

Rumors: They say...
...he's looking for the secret to ancient Sheikah technology.
...he hails from a secretive mountain clan.
...his home was destroyed by war.

Rumors
1 : It's said that Reed learned his magic from a Wizzrobe.
2 : Supposedly, Reed got tossed out of his forest home for disturbing something horrible in the local ruins.
3 : Reed funded his travels by trading healing magic for food and shelter for the night.

Backstory : Reed, one of the Kokiri travelers can find in some of the rarer woods of Hyrule, was never the most average Kokiri. Oh, he was still a Kokiri, fairy friend and all, but most Kokiri have more earthly interests then ancient lore, ancient history, modern history, and strange machines. As such Reed, unlike most Kokiri, spent most of his time exploring the ancient and molding ruins of his forest home, learning from the fading wall paintings and somewhat broken carvings, and discussing the secrets of magic with the fairies of the woods. And so things continued for an indeterminate amount of time, for the ever-youthful Kokiri was satisfied with his life. Until, that is, a traveler asked him a question.

"Huh. Sounds like you've learned everything you can here. What are you going to do next?"

That question left Reed unsettled from his normal routine, and haunted his thoughts. For on consideration, the traveler was right. Reed had learned all that he could here, and was no longer growing. In order to learn more, he'd have to... well, leave.

And so, eventually, Reed left his forest home, to travel the world beyond in search of new lore and new learning. In all honesty, it went wrong fairly quickly, given that Reed's barely been out of the forest for a year before, in response to rumors of ancient ruins in far away lands, he bought a passenger's spot on a ship only to wind up shipwrecked on this strange land, fairy friend nowhere to be seen after they'd been separated in the storm.

((Do we get any tokens of heroism for that?  It's basically our XP.))

((...Also, uh, Archeologist should have three injuries, by RAW.  One for being oneshot, one for going into peril, one for being knocked down to zero HP.  Reed and Solun should have two, each.  Yes, this is ridiculously cruel and crippling, but I think if you're gonna do injuries only on being knocked out, that should be stated.  Maybe we could houserule that some amount of magical healing can cure injuries?))

"Isha has a good plan.  Reed should try his first, however; magical songs take much longer to come back than mundane spells, and it might give more information for the song.  The other group had a fairy.  We should wait for her to rejoin us, so she can fly above the ice pillar for more height."

Check on Isha, to make sure she's okay.  Then look around the crew for a rito--a rito would be able to fly higher above Reed's ice pillar... (Nope, misremembered, only fairies are normally natural fliers) and might also be convinced to share their cloth feathers with Fenil, for use in bombs.  If a rito is found, try to influence them into helping spot if the fairy refuses, and share their feathers during the next extended rest.

Rumors:
● Fenil was groomed from a very young age to be a spy and assassin for her secretive masters, possibly the Yiga.
● Fenil is considered little more than a tool; valuable for her talents and power, but inherently disposable beyond them.
● Fenil conceals her true age through magic, to make her enemies underestimate her.

Appearance:
A somewhat short sheika woman, standing at 5' 4", whose intense red gaze betrays a calm violence sitting just under the surface.  Though she seems to be leaving her youth--she appears to be into her thirties--she's still quite beautiful, and willing to show it.  Her light armor hugs her form closely, and she proudly shows off her long, immaculately kept hair.

Her demeanor is aggressive and confident, almost imperious, but can flip at a moment's notice to a watchful silence, or a honeyed sultriness.  If one spends a great deal of time around her, they tend to get a sense of artificiality--that the woman's behavior is usually a precisely chosen act, rather than truthful expression.  It all seems genuine in the moment... but on reflection her emotions are simply too perfect.

((Do we get any tokens of heroism for that?  It's basically our XP.))

((By RAW, no. That wasn't heroic, just self preservational!

But in this case, yes. See below.))

((...Also, uh, Archeologist should have three injuries, by RAW.  One for being oneshot, one for going into peril, one for being knocked down to zero HP.  Reed and Solun should have two, each.  Yes, this is ridiculously cruel and crippling, but I think if you're gonna do injuries only on being knocked out, that should be stated.  Maybe we could houserule that some amount of magical healing can cure injuries?))[/b]

((I decided to ease into it a bit, because that encounter was bullshit, nobody's accustomed to the rules, and you don't have a place to rest yet. In the future you'll gain injuries as normal.

Though on the topic of corrections, resources visible on the map are no longer a Rank higher than those found through mundane searching. They're simply guaranteed to be there and there's no limit to how many times you can harvest them per day, in addition to any minor or situational benefits they might have.))


Everyone gains 1 Token for defeating your first challenge! Everyone gains 1 Token for overcoming a questionable encounter!

As a reminder, tokens gained through play are spent identically to tokens during character creation. There's no limit to how many you can carry, and there's no way to lose them.

"Oof, that was... quite a workout. Crabs and sand are... not something I was looking forward to revisiting. And so much of each! Anyway, perhaps we should start consider heading back? There's nothing out here, as far as I can see."

Fluff:
An idealistic zora knight who tries to embody their conception of chivalric ideas as best they can. Standing nearly twice as tall as your average hylian even when not mounted, wielding a spear that is taller still, and clad all in shining armour, Inade cuts an imposing figure to enemies, and an inspiring one to friends. Their features are fairly average as zora go, with deep blue skin bordering on a dark purple and yellow eyes. They rarely smile and usually look concerned or worried, regardless of their feelings.
Born 80 years ago in Labrynna, they grew up idolizing the heroic figures of both zora and hylian legends, their martial prowess and virtues. They spent time among both races as they grew into adulthood and merged both martial traditions as they became the journey to knighthood. They were recognized for their martial prowess and selected to be a part of an expedition to Crescent Island to establish a colony. Disaster struck when half of the settlement inexplicably transformed into zola overnight, causing chaos from which only a few survivors made it out alive. Inade spent years living with the native Tokay people, but eventually struck out on their own again when sails finally appeared on the horizon again.

Rumours:
They once defended a ford single-handedly for an entire day, cutting down dozens of enemies and letting civilians evacuate.
They once were challenged by, and defeated, three Hylian knights in duels on the same day, befriending them all afterward.
They have spent months living among the Lizalfos tribes and have learnt their language.

"....It's not as though there's anything back there, either. We may as well keep going. We might find something out here."

[IronyOwl]

Isha begins singing, entering a trance. She twitches and shifts oddly for a few minutes, before her eyes pop open, pure black and streaming pitch, and she collapses screaming.

A quick check confirms she is not physically hurt, but unconscious.

[Egan_BW]

Isha sits cross-legged on the sand and focuses for a moment, before singing a few odd lines:

"I listen to they that you hate."
"I will compute probabilities, if you see no alternative."
"Be mindful; truth is never absolute."

Rumors:
● The Shadesparrow family has a history of dealing with dark powers and has loose ties to the Yiga.
● When members of the secretive Shadesparrow family turn 18, they're sent off into the world to travel and experience on their own, to gather information and prove themselves.
● Isha was a child prodigy, loved by her family for her intelligence and will to learn.

Appearance:
A Shiekah teenager or young adult of limited stature, Isha doesn't seem much like the sort of person who could survive on her own. Though reasonably physically fit for someone her age, something in her posture or attitude makes her seem reluctant, uncertain.
She has quite long white hair kept in a bun, and as is normal for Shiekah, red eyes. She's fairly short, at 5' 2". She wears round spectacles, which are needed for her vision.
Also she talks in this accent.

Personality:
Isha is an inexhaustible source of naive optimism and positivity! Or at least, presents a passable front of the same. She is curious and clearly enjoys seeing and learning of new things. She is liable to complain a little about inclement weather or food of inadequate quality. She's used to getting at least a little attention and dislikes being alone.
In terms of combat, she prefers to avoid enemies or else destroy them as quickly as possible, minimizing risk. In a fight she follows orders and keeps quiet.
