Roll #5

Unknown(Flamelasher)

Action: "HELP MEEEEEEEEEE!"

Roll (1)

You are in alot of pain, and for some reason no one is helping you. "HELP MEEEEEEEEEE!" you cry out, and you seem to attract Voltirs attention. "Try and learn how to heal yourself!" Deciding that it is a good plan, you lean back and prepare to meditate. Unfortunately , your yell attracted the attention of the only remaining bandit, who had just managed to retrieve his axe. A grin appears across his face as he walks toward you, hefting his axe. You try to back away, crying for help, but no one responds. You feel too weak to use your magic, so you grab your sword and try to stop his swing.

Mr.Mysterious's Roll:13

Damage roll: Iron short sword(1d6,x2)=1

You manage to scrape the side of his leg with your sword, causing him to jump back, but you fear that he will try the same thing again.

After your swing, you feel that you have learned a bit more about melee fighting

Roll (3)

You walk over to Ovid's corpse and see Ash take the axe and stuff a small note in his pocket. Examining the corpse, you dont see anything else worthwhile and instead go and pick up the hand axe Bragi dropped. Seeing everyone distracted, you think that now is the perfect time to practice your air manipulation, so you sit down and focus. You try to control an even larger amount of air around you, compressing it into a ball, but pushing that amount of air into a ball requires more skill than you yet have. The ball of air explodes, flinging you into the wall of the cave and injuring your back.

Looking around the cave, you see Ovid and Bragi's axes quickly be claimed, but you notice quite a few crates and barrels at the back of the cave.

You manage to step in front of him just outside the cave and block his way, he throws himself to the ground at your feet and begs you to let him live.

Minor: Tell Mr.Mysterious to learn a magic ability to heal himself

Roll (2)

Seeing that both Ovid and Bragi have died, you feel that you are safe enough to try and learn a new spell. You sit down and try to learn how to summon blades. Focusing deeply on the subject, you feel that you are about to discover how to use the spell when a voice cuts through your meditation. ""HELP MEEEEEEEEEE!" Angered at being distracted at that pivotal moment, you shout back grumpily ""Try and learn how to heal yourself!" so annoyed are you that you didn't notice that Mr.Mysterious had just spoken. Trying to focus back into your meditation, you cast your hand out to summon a blade when you are met with a sharp pain in your hand. Opening your eyes, you see that your sword has come out of its sheath and into your hand, you quickly pull it out, but the damage was done. Your hand now has a nice sized hole in it and is bleeding, you know that you should bandage it up fast or else it may get infected.

They are full of gold,armor and some other items. Shrugging, you walk away, saddened that you did not discover any pancakes. To better your mood, you decide to learn how to magically persuade people to do various things. Deciding that for something like this you should focus on your tongue, you close your eyes and focus.

Action: Learn healing and use it.

Roll (1-2=1(I swear this is not rigged!))

You decide to try and heal once again, but you try to do it a different way. You feel out with your mind and manage to connect to the wound. In a rush of adrenaline, you decide to force the wound together , but instead of connecting it, the wound grows, suddenly the blood begins flowing again. You quickly try and fix it, but it only makes it worse. The terrible pain is too much too handle, darkness is closing in on you, it seems so easy, so painless to give in. You let go of your link to life and fall to the ground, dead.
You are dead, thanks for playing!

Roll ( 8 )
As you stare in wonder at the pile of gold coins, stunned, Raspin runs around and grabs a chain from one of the other crates, then begins to pick up some coins. Not wanting to be left out, you quickly grab 50 coins and see what else is in the crates. Seeing a nice leather helmet, you decide to grab it and put it on, giving you some nice head armor. Just as you put it on, Voltir comes around to see what was happening and seeing all the coins scattered across the floor, he grabs some. After the scramble for items is done, you decide to try and improve your air manipulation even more. You manage find a nice quiet spot in the back of the cave, even further behind the crate and delve into your manipulation of air. You sit and focus for quite some time, when you feel that you have thought enough on the concept, you try a more advanced move. Gathering the air from the back of the cave where no one needs it to breathe, you force it below you and manage, for a time, to float. Just a bit off the ground and only for a few seconds, but you were floating. Feeling that you have advanced even further in your manipulation of air, you smile, though have an uneasy feeling that improving your skill from this point will require much more practice than what you have done so far. Suddenly a strange sensation wells up within you. Through all your practice in skills, you have managed to increase your chances of doing everything right.

And so the first hero dies in a pool of his own blood, his unfortunate fate to be remembered and avenged by his friends. Though they only knew him for a short time, and never really knew him in the sense that they didn't know what he was. They still gave him a proper burial, much more than can be said for the bandit who killed him. Ovid's corpse was looted, whereas he was buried with his sword and shield, not the gold of course, which was distributed among the party members.

Seeing the final bandit slain, you call out to your group "Finally we are rid of these enemies, let us not become complacent, however. The weather will soon clear, and we must head out." You decide to take one of the daggers from the crate and then attempt to expand your knowledge of the working of the mind. Sitting down, you try to focus. When you finally feel like you are getting somewhere, a loud noise interrupts your thoughts. You eyes snap open and you run to see what happened. Realizing that it was just FoolishBalloon practicing his magic, you calm down and head back inside. You try to focus again, but cannot get into the correct state of mind. Deciding that you won't be able to learn anything now, you resign yourself to sitting by the fire where you wait for everyone else to finish their studies.

Ash Jiervan

Action: Minor : Take the Leather Boots and 25 gold coins. Read the note.
Major : Learn Air Magic.

Roll(6)

Hearing the commotion at the back of the cave, you head back to see what is happening. Upon reaching the back of the cave, you see quite a bit of gold and a few crates. Taking 25 coins and a pair of leather boots, you remember that you had a note in your pocket. Opening the note, you see that the style of writing is not befitting of a bandit.
<You are hereby required to lend your services to the mighty kingdom of Daedalia through aiding in the invasion, and afterwards clearing out all resistance and survivors of the Akadan Empire. The heads of the aforementioned are required to receive your payment, at a rate of 500 gold pieces per head. ~ High Councilor Deniken >
Clearly this paper is proof of the mercenary's that Daedalia has recruited for their war, but you cannot yet denote their motives for this. Looking up and seeing everyone else focused on meditation, you decide to join them. Sitting down, you decide that FoolishBalloon's magic seems the most promising. Focusing deeply on the air around you, you begin to feel it all around you as you breathe in and out. As you reach the peak of your meditation, you decide that now is the time to try controlling the air. A simple ball will suffice, so you focus on the image in your mind and extend your hand. To your great delight, a ball of air forms using the air surrounding you and blasts forth from your hand.

Major: Learn Summon Blade spell (again!)

Roll (3)

After picking up the coins, you see Raspin take a dagger out of one of the crates. Looking in the same crate, you see another dagger laying there and decide to take it for yourself. You sit down and examine it, looking deeply at its every feature, memorizing it. Finally when you feel that you know its features well enough, you try to create one yourself. Focusing on the features, you prepare to call it forth when a blast disrupts your thoughts. You see that instead of creating a dagger, you instead distorted your own by accident and now it has become misshapen.(Deals 1d3 instead)

GM tip: though you did it by accident, learning to reshape weapons could be an incredibly useful skill when done correctly.

Roll (5+2+1=8 )
Still angry about the loss of your nameless friend, you charge outside to the bandits graves. Locating them isn't hard, for they were nonchalantly dumped on top of each other in a pile just outside. You call upon your powers of air manipulation and pull the air above the bandits body's away, creating a vacuum. You then send the air crashing down upon the corpses, exploding them and sending a resounding roar of air across the valley. Seeing the corpses destroyed gives you some semblance of vengeance for the death of your friend and also some experience toward air manipulation.

Game events: (From the perspective of FoolishBalloon, as the player one slot is currently empty)

Staring at the spot where the corpses once were, you suddenly notice that the rain has stopped. Running back into the cave, you call out "Hey guys, the rain has stopped , let's get a move on!" Raspin and Voltir look up at you as if you had done something wrong, but you have no idea what that could possibly be.

Voltir stands up " I agree, there is little daylight left and we must not waste any of it."

You lead your group back to the path and begin your long walk to the city. Through the walk, there is not much talking, though once in a while someone tried to bring up a conversation, it didn't catch on.

You all walk for quite some time until the sun begin set, at which point Ash stops. "We should set up camp here while the sun is still up, those trees should provide some cover if it begins to rain again."

As you finish gathering wood for the fire, a Bangaa walks through the bushes nearby. You draw your sword, and see that everyone else has done the same. "Who are you?" you ask questioningly.

"I am Migelo, I am the ranger around these parts, but perhaps you soldiers can explain why there are so many bandits running around?" says the Bangaa

Seeing that he means no harm, Ash shows him the note that he found on Ovid's body. "Apparently they came with the invasion force, and then fragmented to wreak havoc.

"We are at war?" says Migelo, shocked at what he was hearing.

"Yes, and we are trying to find out why. Hopefully we can find answers in the capital.

"Then I shall join you. If there is a choice between saving the world and saving a forest, i'm going to go with the world." say Migelo,smiling.

"I'm not sure about that, we are trained soldiers, and you are someone that we have just met in a forest." you say.

"No." says Voltir. "The Bangaa can fight, he holds himself well. Besides, we are down a member anyway."

"Yes, I am quite a good archer, but not too bad with a dagger as well."

As you turn back to the fire, you decide to try to advance your magic skill. Staring out in front of you, your mind begins to drift as you see time slowing. Focusing harder on this discovery, you begin to try and manipulate it, when suddenly Voltir gets up.

"I'm going to go exploring, feel free to come if you want."

Losing your focus, you try to get back in the mind frame you were in before you were disrupted. It doesn't help, you can't recall exactly how you started, but hopefully you can remember later.

Even though someone new has joined your group, he is no replacement for Mr. mysterious to you. Still anrgy at the loss of your friend, you manipulate air around you into the form of a sword and grip it in your hand. You shout the words "FOR FLAAAAMEELAAASEER!" You don't know why, but the words just seem to fit as his name, and charge at a nearby tree. With a mighty swing, your blade cuts straight through the tree, or you though it would, but the tree was much stronger than you thought. Taking a few more swings , it finally falls over and you feel that you have calmed down enough to sleep, so you head back to the fire.

Voltir gets up and announces that he is going to explore, and you, being the adventurous type, decide to join him. Walking for a time, Voltir suddenly stops and clears away needles and leaves, uncovering a trap door. He then jumps down and you follow him. The room is lit with torches, filled with bookshelves and paper, but as you hop down, you see a man whirl up off the chair and disappear. You and Voltir both have your swords drawn and after a time, begin to cautiously search the room. Voltir finds a summon blade scroll, but you just find indecipherable words scrawled across papers. Not finding anything, even pancakes, you head back to camp no richer than when you left.

"I'm going exploring, feel free to join me." you say to Migelo as you get up, but instead Raspin decides to come with you. Walking out a ways, you suddenly feel like you stepped on wood planks, so you quickly clear away the leaves and needles on the forest floor. Sure enough it uncovers a hidden trapdoor, lifting it, you jump down the hole and see that it is lit by a torch inside. The room has quite a few bookshelves, a desk covered with paper, and a man in robes hunched over them. As you enter, the man turns around with almost superhuman speed, but at seeing two people, he throws his arms down and vanishes. Staying wary for a time, you realize that you must have discovered a wizard who most likely teleported away upon seeing his home invaded. You notice doors on either side of the room, but when testing them, you realize they are barred by magic. Shrugging, you look at the desk and see a scroll. Picking it up, you read the scroll and find that you have discovered a magic spell. It is the summon blade spell that you have been desperately trying to learn, you put it in your pocket, hoping to read it later.

Major : Practice my new magic as we walk.

Roll(3)

Deciding that now is the perfect time to bandage your wound, you rip off part of your tabard and wrap it around the wound.Feeling better, you try to follow Voltir and Raspin as they go exploring, but as you try to practice manipulating air, you eventually lose sight of them. Deciding that you better head back before you get lost, you turn around and find yourself facing a forest wolf, oddly alone. It bares its teeth and lunges at you.

Game Events: Changing scene (perspective of player 1(Mastery))

You wake up early in the morning, as you are used to from your work as a ranger and see that everyone else is still sleeping. Deciding that if they want to get to the capital today, they should get going soon, you wake them up. " Come on guys, it's time to move!" It worked and they all open there eyes, but they don't look too happy, Ash in particular.

"We don't need to get on the road yet Migelo, go back to sleep." says Ash grumpily.

"But if we leave now, we can get to the capital today!" you shout.

Voltir gets up " I think Migelo has a point, we should get moving. The world isn't going to wait for us to get some extra sleep."

Within minutes you are on the road, but no one is in the mood to chat, except for yourself,and you soon resorts to initiating a conversation with yourself after no one was answers you.
After a time, you finally reach the capital of Makar. It is a fantastic, yet confusing sight. Confusing because it appears untouched and the banner is still flying high from the citadel."Let's go guys, the city still stands!"

"No, wait." says Raspin."Something is not right here."

"What do you mean?" you ask

"Just wait, this doesn't seem...right." replies Raspin.

Suddenly a resounding roar of horns blasts across the valley from all sides, and the valley is swarmed by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. They come in from all sides, offering no chance of escape. You all watch the scene, stunned at the sheer scale of the army. The soldiers run with unnatural speed and already are upon the city gates. You all watch the army pour into the city, until eventually the soldiers begin coming out. No one says anything for a time, simply staring at the place where the army came and went like ghosts.

"The way I see it, we have two choices. We can try to persuade the remaining kingdoms to band together agaisnt a common foe, or we can venture to Daedalia and try to slay the one who started this war." says Voltir.

"You saw that army. How can anything? Even the remaining kingdoms hope to stand agaisnt such a vast force?" asks Raspin

"But there's no way we could kill the leader, we don't even know who he is, the kind could be a figurehead, we don't know. Even if we did, you all saw what common bandits did to us!" says FoolishBalloon

"No, Voltir is right, those are our only choices and our only hope. We may not be powerful enough to kill some evil wizard, and we may not be influential enough to persuade whole kingdoms to join our fight, but we can try. We need to vote." say Ash

Every player had one(1) vote, you may discuss pro's and con's amongst yourselves until you are ready to decide. When you have decided, please Bold your vote and when all five have voted, I will send you to your next destination.THIS IS IN PLACE OF AN ACTION FOR THIS TURN

Player Vote

When everyone had finished voting, you were surprised that it managed to go so well, there was no disagreement at all. Everyone voted to band the remaining Kingdoms together, but you will have to hurry, for you don't know which kingdom will be attacked next. "Well, Hesiya and Caehid are the closest, so we should head to one of them."

"No, not Hesiya." says Ash "The Hesiyans are closer to Daedalia, they will be attacked next for sure. We need to head to Caehid."

"Alright then." you say "We are going to Caehid, hopefully we can reach the Village of Hiest within a day and perhaps reequip ourselves."


And you all head off, walking for most of the day, the sun is setting when the village of Hiest finally comes into view. As you prepare to walk down the hill towards it, five soldiers step in front of you. The leader steps out, taking into account your battle-worn armor."What are Akadan soldiers doing in Caehid?"

Voltir steps forth to address him. "The Akadan empire has been destroyed by Daedalia, we seek to unite the remaining kingdoms to join in the fight against them."

"And you hope to get aid looking like that? They wouldnt even let you enter the emperors castle, let alone his throne room, looking like that. I would tell you to reequip in our smithy, but we seem to have a bit of a bandit problem, perhaps you can help us out?"

"How many bandits are we talking about here?" asks Raspin

" Only five, they have been extorting money from this town until they finally came in and began to loot the whole place. I think we should be able to handle them alone, but I won't turn away some extra hands."


You all walk in a group down to the main street. Some of the houses have caught fire, keeping you away from them. Suddenly the bandits come out from the nearest building.

"You have raided this village for the last time, Bandit. Now come quietly or you will not leave." says the soldiers leader as he steps forth.

The leader of the bandits responds by spitting at his feet and hefting his mace.

Roll (8 )
Seeing the battle done, you decide that you need a master for the magic arts. Asking around, one man points you to an untouched house in the middle of the town. Entering, you see that a clean outside does not denote a clean inside, as the place is a mess. Papers are scattered across the floor, even sliding in from other rooms. Picking one up, you see them scrawled with notes that only the writer would understand. Walking out of the entry hall, you hit the door you came in from. Spinning back around, you walk through again and find yourself slamming into the door once more. Angry now, you stare at the space that keeps sending you back and try to think of a way around it, as you clearly can't go through. Examining the floor, you see a few sheets of paper sticking out from under the wall, finding that strange, you walk into the space and find yourself standing in another room.
An old man in grey robes gets up from his desk and turns toward you "Why have you come here?"
Shocked by his straightforward manner, you respond as best you could " I seek a master to teach me the ways of magic."
"And what makes you think you are worthy?
You bow your head to him in shame "Well, I have tried to learn on my own, but something always happens to ruin it. I want to learn, believe me I do, but as hard as I try, I cannot. I need someone to teach me."
The old wizard quizzically raises his eyebrow" Interesting, you doubt your abilities?"
"Yes, i dont know what stops me, maybe im not strong enough."
"You have great potential young one and with proper guidance you will go far, I would be honored to teach you." says the old man as he reaches into his pocket and draws out a strange clear stone with images flashing inside of it." I see that you have places to be, but i am afraid that this body might not survive the rigors of travel. Instead you will have this stone, it will allow us to communicate through it and allow me to teach you as you go on this journey."

FoolishBalloon(FoolishBalloon)
Action: Major - Train Fire Magic (both creating and manipulating)
Roll (6)
Deciding that you should learn how to control fire, you find the idea flawed. Air is everywhere, yet fire is not. If you could create and control fire, then this problem would be solved. Focusing on your inner heat, you try to draw it out through your fingers, and to your surprise it works on your first try. Fire shot out of your fingertips, but then disappeared. You try to hold it there longer, and it works, you created fire and then manipulated its length.

Roll (4)
Seeing most of the other leave, you decide to get most of the loot. Turning to grab the longsword and shortsword, you remember that none of the soldiers died, and that the only weapons were a mace, crossbow and some axe's. You decide on grabbing the mace (there was no Longsword and Shortsword available to pick up, if you want one then you can buy it at the store.) Seeing a cat run by, you think on what it would be like to control it, at first you laugh it off, controlling other beings. Then you realize that it would be possible, you focus on trying to learn, reaching out to the cat. Every time you seem close, however, the pain distracts you and knocks your mind out of focus. Resigning yourself to the fact that you won't learn it today you get up off the ground and realize people were staring at you.

Roll (8 )
Seeing the crossbowman finally fall, you go retrieve the dagger you threw. As your hand touches its hilt, you recall your scroll you found in the forest. Reaching in your backpack, you grab your scroll and go sit down somewhere without people. You read over the scroll and the words begin to change, shifting into strange symbols as thery lift off the page and roate around your mind. Watching them and focusing, the symbols suddenly spin out and rest in front of your, giving you one last glance. This last glance was all you needed to realize how the spell was used and with that realization the symbols flew into your mind. Looking down, you see the scroll empty, just a simple piece of paper. You have an odd feeling that you can use your spell right away so deciding to test out your spell, you try and create a small knife in your hand. As you stop focusing, the blade disappears, so you try and create another, bigger blade. All that comes is the same small dagger.

You decide to check around town to see if anyone will heal you, preferably for free. Walking out of the house, you see life beginning to come back into the town, asking around, you are lead to the inn. When you go in, you see the soldiers all lined up outside the room that the healer is said to be in. Deciding to try your luck next time, you go to a nice, open part of town to practice your air manipulation. With no one else around, you feel confident in your abilities so you try to control a large amount of air. You start by swirling it around you, then you try to condense it in a ball. The ball of air is too much to control, you aren't strong enough yet, and it explodes in front of you, blasting you back and creating quite a large hole. As you stand up , you realize that you landed on your wound, reopening it beneath your bandages.

The master's eyebrows lower as he stares at the scroll. "That is a very powerful spell for a very powerful mage. I will let you keep it, but you must promise not to use it until I deem you ready."

"Yes master, I promise. But why must I wait?"
"There is much power in that scroll, and even more in the spell itself. If you cannot control the power, it will destroy you." says the master with a grim stare." Now, I believe your friends are waiting for you."

"How did you..."

"GO!" the master interrupts, sending you quickly on your way.

Seeing all your friends still finishing up their business, you find that you are quite hungry, but rather than go to the store, you have a flaky idea. Creating your own food. Deciding that you haven't tasted one of your grandmothers croissants for a good long time, you choose to create one of them. Thinking deeply on its shape and flavor, you create the perfect image of the croissant in your head. Finally settling on your image, you decide to try and call it forth into existence. Casting forth your hand while keeping the image firmly in your head, you have a strange urge to send the image through your body to the tip of your hand. You picture it flowing through you and when you open your eyes, there is a delicious croissant in front of you. Quickly gobbling it up, you see your friends beginning to come back.

Roll (4)

Seeing that no-one took the other weapons, you decide to loot the battlefield, grabbing the daggers and the hand axes, but leaving the crossbow. You then decide to head to the blacksmith and see what's for sale.
Walking in the door, you are greeted by the friendly voice of the shopkeeper. "Hello, welcome to my forge. The bandits have stolen most of my wares, but I still have a few things for sale here."

You thank the shopkeeper and browse his available weapons. Seeing a nice longsword on display on the back wall, you ask about its price.

"Ah, you have a good eye sir. For you, this fine piece will be the low price of thirty coins."

Thinking to yourself that that is almost all of your coin, you decide to go ahead and buy it anyway, then offer to sell your buckler.

"Thank you for your business sir." says the shopkeeper as he takes the sword and hands it to you in exchange for your coin. " Now you say you want to sell your shield, may I see it?" he asks as you take your shield and lay it on the counter."Ah, slight damage and signs of wear, but still fairly good quality. I'll give you seven coins for it."

You accept the money and leave the store. Deciding to practice your summon blade skill, you find a signpost and begin to throw knives at it when you're sure that no one is near. Unfortunately, you are in front of the mayors house and he is not happy with what you're doing. As you see him come out the door, you bolt off to meet with your friends.

Roll(8+2=8 )

Deciding that you have waited long enough, you head back to the inn with the hope of seeing the healer. As you enter, you see the line of soldiers gone so you walk up to the door and knock.

"Come in." calls a raspy old voice from the other side.

Entering the room, you see an old woman hunched over Alistair chanting some strange words. You see his wounds slowly close over and when he is done, the woman turns to you.

"Ah, another one of the heroes who saved our little town. Come in, sit down and i will heal you free of charge."

Seeing that it worked on Alistair, you walk over to an empty pallet and lay down on it. The lady shuffles over to you and inspects your wounds.

"It seems that you had quite a few injuries in this battle, serious injuries, but nothing that I cannot fix." says the woman with a toothless smile.

As you close your eyes, you feel your wounds closing over and the pain you were feeling lessens until finally it is gone. Opening your eyes, you look outside and see that at least a good hour has passed, jumping out of bed, you thank the healer and rush out the door to meet your friends in the town square.

When you reach the square, you see that your friends have not returned yet. Noticing Raspin deep in focus, you decide to practice your air manipulation somewhere and come back after.

Walking out to a field outside town and force the air to bend to your will, somehow knowing the exact limit of your abilities. You shape it into all manner of forms before finally feeling that you have trained enough. Then you head back to the town square and see everyone waiting for you there.

When Ash finally comes back down to town, FoolishBalloon quickly stands up. "Let's go guys, we have to get a move on if we are going to reach the capital in time."

Voltir gets up as well "I agree with FoolishBalloon, but we don't have any maps of this country. There is no way to get there right now."

"Oh no, what are we going to do?" asks FoolishBalloon.

As if in answer to his question, Gerard comes toward you with his soldiers. " We are all set to head back to the capital, since you helped us free this town, you are welcome to come along."

"Great,Perfect timing, Let's go!" says FoolishBalloon.

Walking for a time, Gerard suddenly stops. "We make camp here." he says, pointing to the area just to the side of the road.

"But surely we can continue on, the sun is still high above our heads." asks Ash.

"Too risky, I don't want to chance being stuck in those woods after dark." replies Gerard

You are all on a plain, nothing remarkable save a few stones and the massive forest that's a mile or two away. Judging by the sun, you have one turn before you sleep, then you will head into the woods.

Migelo (Mastery910)

Action: Minor: "Dear Master, I'm ready to learn my first magic." (Using comm. stone)
Major: I would like to learn shadow magic, Master! Teach me the ways! [Learn shadow magic]

Roll (8 )

Sitting in a quiet area off from the rest of the group, you focus on words while holding on to your stone. "Dear Master, I'm ready to learn my first magic." after a few seconds, you get a response from the master.

"Yes, you are. We will begin by preparing..." says the master before your communication is interrupted by Ash.

Leaning into the stone, he asks the master for permission. "I would like to join your magic lesson if I could."

He gets no response from the wizard, only you. ""NO! He's MY master! Find your own!"

Ash storms off to go practice with his axe and you focus back in.

"As I was saying, we will begin by preparing you for your journey into to forest. Many terrible creatures dwell there, one type I will prepare you for are those made of shadow. These Darkling's are strong creatures, but the proper magic can manipulate them to do your will, know that this takes intense focus to control them. I will teach you shadow magic, both sides of it though. The aspects of creation and manipulation can be joined as one, but many who study magic separate them, giving them a vital weakness. If you were to only manipulate shadow magic and there was no light in an area, you would have no shadows to manipulate. On the other hand, if you simply create shadow, you cannot change it after it enters this world. The time is right to learn now, for the light of the day is fading, while there are still shadows you will manipulate them. Focus on your own, leave nothing but your shadow in your mind, all else is gone, your feelings, your pains, your thoughts and my voice."

Doing as the master says, you tune out even his voice, for a moment you feel that this is a mistake, for how will you learn? Then you have a strange feeling, you can control your shadow and the secrets to its control are within your mind. Focusing on shifting the shadow, you move it to the side. The masters voice breaks through your barrier.

"Good, now you must solidify the shadow and force the fist out in an attack. Focus on bringing the shadow fully into our world."

You focus deeply, trying to pull the shadow in as he says, when suddenly you feel slightly dizzy. Pushing through this feeling, you force your shadows fist out.

"Perfect. You now know how to control shadows. You may have felt a dizzying sensation when you brought your shadow , this is because your shadow is connected to you, as is everyone's. Removing it will throw them off for a short time, remember this when facing your adversaries. You must always know the weaknesses that your own magic holds and be aware of how to overcome them. You will now create a shadow out nothing, then wrap it around your arm. Focus on bringing a shadow into this world by envisioning it in your mind."

You do as your master says, focusing on the shadow in your mind and bringing it forth into your world. When you see it materialize as a shapeless blob of shadow, you force your will upon it and wrap it around your arm, covering it in shadow.

"Now Sharpen the shadow at the tip of your hand, think of it like a blade."

Forcing the tip of your shadow covered arm to sharpen into a blade, you see how useful this magic will truly be.

"You are finished for today, we will not speak again until after you are through the forest, do not forget what I have taught you, use this magic well."

"Thank you, master." you say as you bow your head and stop focusing on the stone.

Focusing deeply, you create many pastries, and when you finally finish you decide to pass them out as everyone comes back from their training, even handing some to the soldiers who are travelling with you. When you are over with the soldiers, you decide to ask why the woods are dangerous after dark.

"Terrible creatures live in those woods and attack travelers, even in the daytime, these are the ones that everyone knows about. The problem with night is, anyone that doesn't come out before the sun sets has not been seen again. This leads us to believe that even more terrible creatures travel in those woods at night. It is a dangerous path, but it is much faster, it will cut almost a week off your travels, and if what you say is true, we must waste no time delivering this message."

You push it back, but then it jumps right in front of you and stares right into your eyes. Frozen in place with fear, you cannot move to defend yourself as it blasts you with lightning.

Damage roll: Lightning blast(2d6)=3,4=7

As the blast of electricity hits your body you are flung onto the ground. Forcing yourself off the ground, you see that the darkling has moved on to another target.

At first you fear that your attack didn't do anything, but then you notice that the darkling seems weaker, the shadow is lighter and smaller than before.

Finally coming up with an idea for how to do so, you tentatively test out your skill on your arm and manage to close the wound.

Now that the battle is done, you can get to the important thing, looting! Walking over to the satyr that had a bow , you examine it and see that it is extremely well made, too well made for a satyr. Picking up the Oak short bow and the arrows, you have an idea to talk to your master. Then you think about it and remember that he didn't want to talk to you until you are out of the forest. Deciding instead to create a shadow clone to spar with, you focus deeply and draw the shapes together, forming a creature. You open your eyes to see your creation and find yourself facing a darkling. In your surprise, you stop concentrating and it falls apart. Shocked at this discovery of the darkling, you just sit there staring at the spot, too stunned to move.

He looks up at you, shocked and thanks you. You proceed to pass the air across Voltir, and after its success, yourself. After the air passes over you, you can feel that its healing properties have been used up from now, so you let the air go. Deciding that you should see if you can find anything, you look around the clearing, quickly deciding that there is nothing of interest, you switch to the bodies of the enemies. After looking through the satyrs corpses and finding nothing, you see something small in the minotaur's hand. Walking over to it, you see it is an old journal, the cover badly damaged but the pages inside readable. You decide to pocket it for later use.

Surprised at this discovery, you stand up and back away. Sure enough, the darkling follows you, still watching and wondering what you are doing. Realizing that this darkling seems to be friendly, you decide to test if you can command it. You tell it to move over by the satyr's corpse, it doesn't and you drop your head Great, you summoned a useless creature.

Roll (8(You seriously rolled this!))

Taking the journal out of your pocket you walk over to a tree where it is nice and quiet and begin to read the pages. It appears to be an account of a travelling magician, most of the pages merely talk about his journey around the world. Flipping past quite a few pages to the end, you shiver at the first line on the bloodstained page. "Night has fallen. I was warned, but I foolishly believed that I could get through the forest in time. I was set upon by all manner of beasts, the most odd was a creature made entirely of shadow, the darkling. This shadow creature I soon discovered to be the most dangerous in the forest, not by the first darkling's of course, they were weak and easily dealt with by my magefire. I speak of their transformation, as I write this, I desperately hope that someone will find this and learn the truth about this forest. I believe that this forest was once home to a sect of shadow mages, long since dead, who created the first darkling's as their guardians and protectors, but as they died, the darkling's under their control were set loose. These escaped creatures most deadly power is an ability they developed to draw strength from the night. As the sun begins to set, the beasts grow larger and more powerful, until midnight, when they are at their strongest. The beasts have left me here to die, I fear that I, the great Konus, will die here, die a peasants death." The writing ends at the bottom of the page, but it looks as if the following pages have been ripped from their place and scattered to the winds. Suddenly you recall that you have control over the winds, casting forth your magic through the forest, you send the air snaking through the trees to find the missing pages, hopefully intact. One page alone returns with your wind, looking at the first line, you begin to laugh. "And so, finally we come to the last piece of my magic to pass on, a fantastic creation of my own. Magicus Farticus, a name of my own development as well.

Then you decide to practice your air manipulation while you wait to move on. Swirling the air around you, shaping it to you every whim, you feel like you have gained even more experience to being a master of air manipulation.

Game event:

"All right, form up men, behind me." called Gerrik." We have to get out of here before nightfall, I dont know why, but I do know that no one who has been trapped in here at night has come out the other side."

Moving behind Gerrick, you all walk at a quick pace, keeping to the small pace and staying as far as you could from the bushes on either side.

"Blast!" yelled Gerrick as he suddenly stopped.

"What is it sir? asked Richard

"They've regrouped again, we don't have much time, the sun is already beginning to set."

Once more, you walk into a clearing, this one is different, for there are ancient wooden shelters on the edges, and an old fire pit in the center. Walking into the clearing in circle formation once more, beasts charge forth from the forests, though now more darkling's then satyrs, and they seem... stronger.
