(4) You didn't really forget any of this stuff, and finish decently quick. (skill remembered!) You then ask Thunkor about stuff.
"Train with more swords. Train with creation help. Don't get trained in shaping unless you actually show potential in it. Still doesn't hurt to know which ones will fight with you and which ones will hide behind you, though." You then ask him where you could find such a book. "I doubt you'll find anything useful in the library, dude. too many abbreviations and sidenotes and going off on biotechnical detail tangents. waaay over our heads, unless you're smarter than me."

(2) He was right. You leave confused about which creation it was talking about.

Codex & Dragnar
(Codex Haste: 1, reversed. -1 to movement)
(3-2, 1-1, -1 for trying to follow each other at the same time) Not knowing any other new Agents, you both try to follow each other and fail really badly. Dragnar is bitten very strongly in the right arm by a escaped rogue roamer, and faints from seeing so much blood come out in so little time.
Codex Status: Slowed (1 turn left)
Dragnar Status: Heavily Bleeding, unconscious. (but not dead yet!)
Inventories: same as before

Skills: Shaper Knowledge: Essence.
Inventory: Essence of the Beginner (borrowed)
Derm
(2) You found the wrong kind of pool. This is a healing pool, not an essence pool. Those are blue.
