4smart thing to do.

[Enemy post]

I was wondering when we'd see Glass and Knightwing on the same side of a vote. We take shelter.

This is all simply a part of life for you, as it is for the rest of the town, and you're excited to return to your apartment to continue studying magic. You hurry home, close the storm doors behind you, and draw closed the curtain of leaves that might absorb some of the negative energy as a last resort. (Increased Calculation.) (Increased Caution.)

What do you want to study while the storm continues?

1.Negation.
2.Glamor.
3.Automation.
4.Vivomancy.
5.Divination.

Plot Points

Chapter 1

You and Tal stumbled on an ancient magic academy.
You discovered a book of vivomancy, and an inquisitor chased you.
You found an ancient dueling ground.
You killed the inquisitor with negation magic.
You explored the academy library.
A divination revealed a potential ally in the form of a golem, so you took a manual on the operation of golems from the library.
You animated a serving tray to retrieve an alchemy set, but in the process, you released some dangerous chemicals.
You found a laboratory with a trapped specter.
You destroyed the specter.
You obtained a clutch of dragon eggs from the crow's nest of an ancient airship.
It became clear that the spilled chemicals were going to consume the whole academy.

Chapter 2


You flew up the coast of the Negative Sea back to Akriton.
You created two horses and freed them in the woods.
You made your parents think your finds in the academy were purely of historical interest.
You read in True Life of Abraxas that those who follow orders regularly are more likely to be glamored.
You learned the location of the Magisterian capital from True Life of Abraxas.
You met a hat seller but bought nothing from her.
You allowed a thief to steal from Fruitseller Fran.

Automation.

You cozy up with your tome of automation and rapidly forget about the howling winds outside. (Gained Automation.)

The next day is spent rebuilding and replanting, an effort that the whole town takes part in. The whole town except you, anyway—you get distracted wondering about the origins of the Negative Sea and spend the whole day with your nose in books. (Gained Negation.) (Gained Ancient History.)

Townsfolk fix wooden gates that have been eaten through, dig up withered grass and plant new seed, and slaughter livestock that won't have enough to eat in the coming months.

And then, as is traditional, there is a party the next day to celebrate everything the town still has.

The market square is festooned with colored paper streamers and lit with red, orange, and yellow glowbugs swarming around, illuminating the gathered townsfolk. A greathog carcass turns on a spit in the center of the square. You wonder whether it belonged to the swineherd who reportedly died in the cloud. The smell of cooking meat hangs thick in the air.

The fiddler, a young person with spiky hair and ample piercings, plays a merry tune to entertain the people in the long line for food. An area to the side is cleared for dancing, and many Akritonians are already reeling through tunnels of hands and do-si-doing around their partners.

The fiddler finishes their song, and everyone claps. Before they can start another, one woman sings loudly: "Who's got a lotta luck?"

And the crowd around her sings back, "We do!"

The fiddler gamely accompanies Akriton's favorite song.

Who's got a lotta luck? We do!
We got our loves, our friends, and you!
The world is broken, but we've awoken
To all our treasures true.

We thought the world would end. Look now!
We got a lovely world, and how!
Smiling faces and warm embraces
Will happen anyhow!

Who's got a lotta luck? We do!
Loved ones and good companions true!
If once again the world should end,
We'd start this song anew!

What do you think of the crowd's song?

1.I like the theme of trying to stay cheerful amid sadness.
2.It's oversimplified. People aren't never-ending fonts of cheer.
3.Needs more cowbell.
