[New Stuff]
* Kiet's IBT
[Decalis 4th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
[Cholan's Tavern]
Kiet sits and watches the group. Some he has been with for a
while. Some not so long. That Mae gal has the body to tempt a
blind priest. But can she be trusted?
After how she hurt Dorhak, Kiet will be certain to keep an
eye on her. At least on her head, if not her body? Not with
Tesara around. Kiet thinks about that. IF Tesara is around.
Kiet has been gone a year and doubts she waited for him,
especially since there was no way to warn her it would be so
long.
Then the ugly dwarf impressed Kiet though would not say as
such to him. To just go and slap a half naked cute gal has
some backbone on him. A good fighter to tag up with but he
may best not cross him.
Raki is still a total mystery. Kiet hopes there is nothing
to worry about, but should his origin become generally known
he might be in danger. Kiet certainly wouldn't want him as
an enemy. He truly hopes that Raki has changed from the evil
shifters left behind. Kiet watches Raki eat a third helping
of apple pie. His shifting power would make just about
everyone envious since he can eat whatever he wants and still
stay skinny!
Kiet goes to Raki to talk with him. 'Raki, I know you might
not have any clear idea about what you will do here. I have
plans to get a place of my own. You are certainly welcome to
join me there. It will at least give you a place to stay."
Raki nods and places a hand on Kiet's arm. "Thank you friend.
I will consider it."
Kiet glances at Arawn and wonders if his friend the guardian
did take some of him. Can Arawn live with a big piece gone?
His personality will have to be monitored for any changes.
Then Kiet sighs drinking his wine. The memory of Kell still
haunts him. Such a senseless death. Raki did try to save him
but it was a choice of save Arawn or Kell. But the party needed
Arawn to escape. Kiet practically snorts his wine at the thought
of that. Or did they? Could they have simply carried the dead
druid to escape?
As the party talks about loot Kiet stands suddenly and gives a
toast to Kell. All others stand and clink glasses or mugs.
Kiet eyes Dorhak and Mae on this. Sure they did not know the
half-elf trader well. But Dorhak seems to give respect. Mae
seems to just go with the motions. But again she didn't know
him at all. Raki just imitates the others in the glass clinks
Kiet meets Arawn and tells him to come to Z'leyra's manor
before he disappears somewhere. Kiet feels before the Druid goes
off randomly, Kell may have something for him. Kiet feels bad but
he'll have to go through Kell's stuff.
Later Kiet finds Cholan and asks if he knows of a good casket
maker for Kell. "I'm sorry to hear about Kell. He would spend
a lot of hours here. He was a good guy," Cholan adds. Cholan
doesn't know of any particular undertakers. But does know of a
good carpenter and gives the info. Most under takers do their
own boxes or sub-contract it out. So this seems fine with Kiet.
That night Kiet goes through Kell's stuff. He finds the death
letter. Sitting in the barn it is a great heartache. But the
booze helps him to get through it. Kell looks at the Elemental
book. It is a small book 1 foot by 1.5. Written in that weird
symbol language known as Katai. Kiet flips through the pages
and estimates it a bit over 100 pages.
At least he can read it!
Arawn finds Kiet at the manor and the acrobat gives the Druid
Kell's leather case. It is a nicely crafted leather case that
can hold about 10 vials. Since Arawn likes to collect samples
Kiet figured this would be better for him.
Kiet knows he has a bed inside but he can't separate himself
from the stuff Kell had. As if to one last time get to see his
friend. He doesn't know how he ended up on the hay pile asleep
with Kell's death letter on his hand. During the night the
steward places a blanket on him due to the cold that night.
[Decalis 5th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia] [Z'leyra's manor]
Dorhak wanders to the kitchen unsure how he got here. It seems
half the ale is still in his beard. Kiet teases the small ugly
man about him dancing. Then Kiet becomes serious and gives the
dwarf Kell's Jewelry tools. They are not magical but are a nice
set he personally used. Since Dorhak seemed interested in those
worthless gems Kiet figured a good place for the tools is Dorhak.
Kiet finds his old riding horse still in the stable and being
maintained by the stable boy. He is in good shape. But his new
horse gets most of his attention now. Kiet saddles Ma Siwang and
heads to town. In the saddle bags Kiet latches the ebony wood
that Kell was going to use. It is not long enough for a box but
can be pieced together. Ebony is such a rare thing in this area
it should be unique. Kiet finds the carpenter and shows
him the ebony.
"Nice..shiny wood...you sure you want to waste a box on this
stuff?" Kiet nods. Both of them dicker on the price and Kiet
sets a day to pick it up or have it sent to Ba'ru. "I'll have to
supplement with other wood since not enough pieces here for a full
box. But I can do the highlights."
Kiet spends the rest of the day trying to find a manor place
be can buy. After seeing Z'leyra's manor and hearing about
Unali's place he wants his own place as well. The air is salty
and damp but so is his home island. It does seem strange to
settle in this land. He wasn't planning to do so. But events
seem to lead him down this path. He wants a place that can
have a nice small garden as well as a possible workshop.
Sivas doesn't have much in terms of real estate agents. Those
who do sell places are mostly for commercial places like shop
warehouses. So Kiet has to enter shops and taverns to get
tips on such things.
Most places are small estates that are best for a full family.
Not much land. Not enough garden space. Kiet heads back to
Z'leyra's manor for dinner. That very evening over dinner
Dorhak tells him that Etain is helping him find a place. Maybe
he can do the same for Kiet. Kiet groans since he wasted a full
day when he could've done this route. He met Etain back in
Donara but never got close. He'll have to arrange a meeting
with the teacher.
With some silver collected in town Kiet asks the steward if he
could borrow Z'leyra's workshop - mainly her forge fire. The
steward agrees and so Kiet enters. Kiet melts down the silver to
make enough material for 5 small silver rings. With tools in
hand it only takes about half hour to make the ring simple silver
rings. The 4th ring does mess up slightly so he has to start
all over.
[Decalis 6th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia] [Z'leyra's manor]
Kiet wakes up and hears Etain will drop by soon to get details
his manor. After breakfast, Kiet finds a nice place in the
yard to meditate. Watching the garden flowers sprout out due
to the warmth of the sun.
He then casts Purification. He then removes his left hand
ring. He then casts enchantment onto the ring for a boost
in willpower. While holding the ring Kiet casts Detection to see if
the enchantment took affect. He gets confirmation the spell
worked. Kiet then casts another enchantment on ring to boost
the constitution of wearer. Then holding the ring he casts
a detect spell and confirms it worked which it did. He does
this for empathy enchantment and confirms it via a detection
spell. He places the ring back on his left finger and removes
his bracer.
Grabbing one of the new rings he made yesterday he casts
a ensorcellment spell. Kiet then follows up with a Elemental
Power of Air cast into the ring. Kiet then casts another
detection to ensure the elemental power was placed which it
was done correctly.
Kiet gives details to Etain about his plans. "So it doesn't
have to be in city? The city is limited space wise for some
structures. So might have better luck a bit further out. But
I will certainly look around for you. At this rate I should
open my own real estate place and quit teaching!"
[Decalis 7th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia] [Z'leyra's manor]
Kiet heads to town. His first stop is the carpenter to see
the box. Every piece of spare ebony Kell had left over had to
go into the box. The carpenter explains most look at the top
and sides. They rarely look at front and back. So he
concentrated on these three sides. The top gets fully covered
based on some ebony wood pieces meant for a full shield. The
sides due to material were given stripes of ebony wood laced
with some other dark wood. In fact this mix looks very nice
and rather unique. Kiet is happy and the carpenter has to
finish the inside and box latches to carry the box. Kiet finds
the fee a bit steep when it might only be half the cost for
a normal box. But the ebony has to be specially made and
with greater care so the labor is worth it.
Over the next few weeks or even months depending on if
the next save-the-world mission is needed, Kiet looks for
healing potion materials. He spends at least 1-2 hours a day
when he can in herbalist shops as well as asking if there are
actual books on healing potions. But most shop owners admit
f that the majority of healers use magic or magic items. The
entire economy of potions is diminished. There are plenty of
books on certain items like how to treat a certain herb or
plant to make it heal-quality. But not one giant tome for
actual potions at least not recently. But Kiet collects
as many items as he can not only for his personal inventory
but for his garden if he can find a place.
While Etain is looking Kiet also spends his spare days
looking for a place. Initially it is daunting with a task
that is full of dismay. After 12 possible places only
1 has any hope but when he learns the basement floods too
often and the roof needs serious work. Not worth the
coin and effort.
Once back at Z'leyra's manor Kiet eats dinner and takes his
frustration out on cutting the useless gems. He is able to cut
6 of the 21 gems before he heads to bed. Since Kiet is not a
master jeweler this is all experience. Sadly one of the gems
shatters and is ruined completely.
[Decalis 8th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia] [Z'leyra's manor]
Kiet wakes up and has a somber breakfast. Chion waits for
him outside talking to one of the guards laughing about some
inside joke. Kiet is now dressed in some of his best
cleaned clothing. Kiet wraps his grey cloak around his
neck and nods. Chion then joins Kiet. Both teleport
to Ba'ru.
Chion uses the top of a brothel as a place of teleport.
Not that he ever is a customer here at least never admits
to such, but the door to the roof is locked and secured.
Something about guests would try to use the roof for various
things the owners could not control.
Both climb the rickety wooden ladder but have to drop
5 feet to the ground as the bottom rungs were all removed.
They begin heading to the city margins to the east hills.
About 45 minutes later on the road they encounter a man
carrying a young girl. The man is holding a large sword on
his hip and the girl around 8 or 9 seems either asleep
or dead in his arms.
Chion who is now a Shaman asks the man if he needs help. Kiet
helps to translate into Ba'ru but even he isn't too fluent. The
man says he was at a village attacked by a beast. He with 2
others killed the beast. But the girl is the only one aside
from him to survive out of 70 other families. Chion inspects
the girl's left thigh where a deep cut is but finds she
will live. The man continues on to the city to report the
incident and a healer for the girl.
Chion looks back at the adventurer. "We were like that
not so long ago."
Finally the pair arrives at Kell's place. They meet
with Kell's mother and sister to inform of Kell's death.
It is awkward but the dirty deed is done. Both of the
relatives deeply appreciate Kiet finding them and letting
them know. They say they have to find some relatives quite
a distance away. That's when Chion offers his services to
bring relatives back and forth. They don't understand the
concept of teleport but Kell's sister got letters about Chion
from Kell. So they agree. They decide on the funeral for
the 12th in 4 days.
Both are introduced and shown around and Kell's mother
fuses no for dinner that night. Over the next few hours
all share stories of Kell and drink toasts.
Kiet stands to head to a Inn in the city but the mother
refuses. She demands he stay. Chion on the other hand
says he has things to do and parts a bit drunk. Kiet
hopes a drunk teleport isn't a disaster.
Kiet meditates in his bed for a short while and tries
to study mentally the gestures and words for his delude
sight spell. This mental study brings him focused and
helps him sleep especially in the home Kell grew up.
At least this is not Kell's own room. Kiet tries to spend
the next few days on studying his delude sight spell.
[Decalis 9th - 11th, 1635TH] [Ba'ru, Kell's place]
Over the next 3 days Kiet works with the family and friends
to setup details for the funeral. While not working on
the grim details Emili de, Kell's sister, shows the factory
and the processes on the site.
[Decalis 11th, 1635TH] [Ba'ru, Kell's place]
[Time: 12:43 am]
Kiet can't sleep well tonight. All the people coming
to him all day talking about the good things Kell has
done or did as a kid. The burden knowing the details of
Kell's death which he really can't share completely or
freak out his mother. He can only say that Kell did as
a hero saving other lives. Kiet sneaks out of the large
family home and past the dark factory. He heads to the
hill and relaxes cross legged. The day before he prepared
a rock circle as he does with the hills he visits. But
this is not for spell casting. He watches the stars and
the dark clouds drift. The temperature is around 45
but its not really that cold.
Suddenly Kiet hears growling. Kiet glances behind him to
see a wild dog. He has that look of wildness due to his
eyes and snarl. Most domesticated dogs can be dealt
with or scared. But this one not so much. Then from the
darkness he notices a second and a third. Kiet slowly
stands and reaches for his tulwar. He curses that he
forgot his shield. Then from the side there are 2 more
for a total of 5 dogs. He could toast two right now
and scare them. But would Kell's family agree finding a
toasty dog or two welcome? Maybe he can scare them by
fighting them or defending himself. Kiet begins to
back away slowly down the hill not looking where he
is going.
That's when the Alpha charged along with the other 4.
Three of the dogs make contact while the other 2 fail to
bite. First bites Kell in the left ribs doing 4 points,
the second bites Kiet behind his neck doing 2 and the 3rd
one bites Kiet in the right shoulder doing 3.
Kiet curses under the pain and swings his tulwar at one of
the nasty dogs. The Tulwar slices dog #1 in the left side
doing 5 points to it.
Three of the dogs do another 5, 3 and 1 point bites.
Another dog bites right on Kiet's left hand doing 4 points.
Kiet doesn't care now about burnt dogs. Time to make
some hot dogs. Kiet swipes at Dog #1 again and take
shim down but unsure he is dead.
Before the dogs attack again he raises both hands and
activates the rings at two of the dogs. Two of the dogs
flame up and are burnt to a crisp for 21 and 36 points of
damage.
The last 2 dogs decide it is too hot here and runs away
into the darkness. Kiet could try to toast those but
decides to leave them alone.
Kiet limps back to the house to patch his wounds. HE sneaks
back to his room and curses that he did not bring his healing
kit. With water and cloth, which he'll have to replace the
blood soaked rags later, he cleans the wounds.
[Time: 7:08 am]
Kiet walks to town to find a healer. Not wanting to scare
the family or insult them about the attack. He has no choice
but to find one of the factory guards and ask him to get
the dog bodies off the hill and offers a few copper for the
dirty task.
Kiet finds a healer and he does some magical healing for
the massive bite wounds. Mainly his neck and hands. The
others can heal naturally on their own but not be seen
by the family. While Kiet can't speak fluently he makes
small talk with the healer on healing potions.
[Decalis 12th, 1635TH] [Ba'ru, Kell's place]
Kiet wakes up sore from his rib bite still hurting. But
he can't show the pain. Today is for Kell and the funeral.
Chion returns with those from Marentian who wanted to
attend.
The funeral goes well and the ebony box is talked about
greatly. Some feel it too fancy but not to the point of
insult. They do believe Kell the trader had dreams for such
richly things.
Quietly after the funeral feast Kiet finds Unali. Thanks to
Chion picking up items from Z's manor Kiet goes to the mass of
items. Kiet offers Kell's blacksmith tools to Unali who has
plans for her own in making items. Then Unali is given the 5
Dirks that Kell made himself. He had plans for them to be
magical but never got around to them. They aren't great daggers
compared to Unali's personal ones. But Unali takes them for
honor to store on her wall. Though they aren't powerful these
Dirks will be more personal to her than her own daggers. Unali
is grateful.
Kiet asks Unali about Marta. Unali says they had a party
at her house recently with Marta. She did say she would be
in Sivas in 3 days. She is attending a party for the head
of the jeweler's guild. Kiet doesn't show it but Unali can
read his mind. She offers to see if she can get him a ticket
to the party. Rather 2 for Tesara. Kiet shrugs and forgets
about the seamstress. But Kiet is excited not only to see the
girl again but to see Marta.
Kiet is happy that no one 'saw' Kell's actual body which was
a skeleton. His short term illusion was able to fool everyone
he hopes. At least no one screamed.
[Decalis 13th, 1635TH] [Ba'ru, Kell's place]
Kiet spends one final afternoon with the family in Ba'ru.
They have a small private lunch for just the immediate and
extended relatives. Not for friends or employees. But Kiet
is invited regardless. The lunch was great but the stories
were even more valuable.
Then Chion appears and makes Kiet sad to leave. But the
teleporter
doesn't like staying place in area for long. Kiet says his final
good byes and returns with Chion to Sivas.
Kiet feels relieved. Having split up Kell's final goods with
the family he wanted them to have. But Kiet finds Pyan who
is returning from the library. Kiet offers one of the 3 magical
spears Kell had. Kiet explains the details of the spears as best
he can from Kell's own letter.
Pyan takes the 3rd one the spear that gives off electrical
charges. He thanks Kiet and Pyan feels a bit bad. He did
not attend the funeral. But now Kell in return gives him something
special.
At Z'leyra's manor Kiet continues work on his worthless
gems. He cuts two of the gems quickly. But three he fails
a bit and has to try again taking twice as long.
[Decalis 14th, 1635TH] [Ba'ru, Kell's place]
Kiet leaves the manor early to head out to Tarvis' ranch.
He doesn't eat breakfast because he knows this will not
necessarily be a pleasant visit, but it must be done. If for
no othe reason than to find out where he stands with these
two? Tarvis and Tesara. Tarvis is grim-faced at Kiet's
approach, and Kiet understands. Kiet has been gone for
almost a year and with no contact or explanation? Till now.
Kiet apologizes to Tarvis, and tells him that he had to go
on a trip, but it turned into a situation where we were held
captive. Kiet, himself, was even in chains until a friend
released him. In the process, Kiet explains how he also
lost his best friend to the enemy. Kiet attempts his best
to influence the rancher just to the point of not hating him.
Kiet just wants him to be civil, not treat him like family.
Tarvis wants to reply upon hearing this man get free or escape
a prison or some lair? but he sees sorrow when Kiet mentions
Kell. So the rancher nods grimly.
Kiet finally asks about Tesara. Tavis shakes his head and
points to the ranch house, then heads off to do his own work.
Kiet goes to the house with a fair amount of trepidation and a
cook lets him into the house. The cook takes Kiet to wait in
the parlor, then goes to let Tesara know she has a guest.
Upon seeing Kiet, Tesara frowns. Kiet tries some small talk
but it's a lame attempt. The young lady looks disappointed
and says "I'm sorry. I just couldn't wait. You disappeared
and were gone for what? A year?" Kiet makes tthe mistake of
pointing out it was only 10 months, and she glares angrily
at him. "Still, I heard nothing from you. I had to move
on. I have a boyboyfriend now."
Kiet understands her choice. He is disappointed but not
crushed. He knew this would likely happen. "May I tell you
why I was gone?" he asks. She is still for a moment, then
nods her head, and Kiet tells her about being gone, and how
he was put in chains, and how they lost Kell. He doesn't go
into the details, or tell her about the shifter, but he does
his best to influence her to at least understand he had little
choice in the matter. "If I had been able to contact you, I
would have" Kiet says."
Tesara looks aghast at the story. Anger fades to sadness.
The confusion. She wants to speak but is torn between her
new life and old. "I am...so sorry..." Tears well up inside
her as Kiet stands.
Kiet nods his head then says, "I understand, and wish you the
best. I truly am sorry", then he gives her a final good-bye
hug, a kiss on the cheek, then he departs leaving her behind.
[Time: 12:03 pm]
Kiet is walking back to Z's manor a bit sad when a group of
6 merchants swamp Kiet trying to sell goods including cooking
supplies, spices, fruit, boots and knives. Kiet is disgusted
has Sivas declined so much they must do this? He pushes
them aside ignoring their pitches.
Back at the manor Kiet melts some gold down to fill in
some gaps on his pinky rings. It is very detailed fine work
that takes intense concentration.
Kiet then sketches on paper his plan for the pearl necklace.
Before the sun sets Kiet heads to the closest hill which
is about 3 miles west of Z's place.
[Time: 4:17 pm]
At the hill Kiet collects enough stone white rocks to place
a magical circle. He begins to chant some of the magical
chants to provide honor to the air elementals. Once a full
circle is placed around he lights incense.
Kiet then purifies the magical stone circle. He casts a detect
spell though and finds the purification failed. So Kiet
recasts purification this time a bit less in power. HE recasts
detect and finds it worked this time.
Kiet then casts three dispel spells to remove the attributes
boosts he placed on the bracer. Kiet then casts detect to see
if any attribute is on the bracer while he holds it. The spell
either fails or he detects none on it.
Then he casts Elemental Power for Air which is the reason for
the hill getting closer to the elementals above. As all good
wizards should respect the laws of magic rather than casting
such a thing in a dark basement away from the air.
Holding the wand he then casts Knowledge. Then casts
a Sky Knowledge spell to gain more insight on the pearl spell
of enhancement.
[Decalis 15th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
After breakfast Kiet decides to head to the markets to
do some shopping. But before he leaves a messenger arrives
for him and delivers a message from Unali. That Marta
will be at a party tonight and gives those details. Unali
says she has allocated 2 invitations. Kiet wonders if he
can find a date on such short notice since Tesara is not
available.
At the market he tries to locate 3 particular items
but has no luck today. Kiet then ensures his nice suit
of clothing is cleaned and ready for pickup for the party.
Kiet passes a park with dozens of kids and some parents.
It is some kid's' birthday it seems. There is a very
boring clown there. Kiet decides to pick up 3 large
fruits and begins to juggle them. This draws the attention
of the kids who smile. The clown glares at Kiet. Kiet
juggles for almost 10 minutes without dropping one of the 3
or 4 items.
Then Kiet decides to entertain using his acrobatic skills.
This goes on for almost 30 minutes to laughter and applause.
Kiet notices about 8 copper coins on the ground at the end.
A quick lunch expense. Kiet hates to leave but has to
find a place. But first a nice lunch on these folks.
For the next few hours Kiet looks at 3 estates but they
are way over priced or in need of repairs.
[Time: 3:55 pm]
Kiet dressed in his best clothing and cloaks ends up
at the Koblez House. It isn't actually a house but a large
banquet hall. There are side rooms for private chats and
a kitchen as well as a smoking room. Sadly Kiet did ask
the cute tavern waitress to come and she agreed. The name
is Drena but Kiet figures she is a bit ditzy to see again.
The doorman allows entry and the two enter the party.
Kiet asks a server if he knows of Marta. The server directs
her to a young woman in her late 20s in a nice gown. Kiet
approaches and introduces himself. Marta Valnon seems to
recognize the acrobat and welcomes him to the party. Kiet
asks her to go to one of the side rooms. Marta raises an
eyebrow and nods.
Kiet doesn't know fully what Marta went through just
the stories. Captured by the enemy and freed by the
party. Daughter of Duke Valnon who lives far in the eastern
side of the province. For a long time she was timid and
fearful from her harsh treatment. But now she seems
happy go lucky and out going.
Kiet tells Marta that he had heard she has a relative that
was a collector of military uniforms. He tells her that he
came across these in a far-away land and that he went thru
much danger to prevail.
"I was thrilled to hear you would be in Sivas. I wanted to
give these to you to give as maybe a birthday gift to this
relative of yours. They are exceptionally rare? So much so
he may not even know or be able to find out much about
them. But I hope he finds them interesting and unique. And,
it maybe makes getting him something for his birthday a bit
easier for you!" +++
Kiet shows Marta the 2 light grey with a sleeve showing
on a red strip which can only be seen from the side. At
the wrist is a white braid that looks like a chain link around
the end of the arm. Around the waist is a white stripe hand
sized around front and back. Over the heart seems to be a number
but no one can tell what number. It just 'seems' like a number.
The uniform pants are a simple brown with no ornate designs.
Kiet explains they found it though doesn't mention the flying
castle.
"Fascinating. Father may know he is a history type of person.
I do like men in uniforms but I never saw these ever before. I
do appreciate this gift." She hugs Kiet while the tavern
girl looks bored. "Now let's get back to the party!"
At the party there is dancing and drinking. A large
feast is given as folks mingle. Kiet has no clue who
anyone is but meets many folks. The highest noble it
seems is a Baron. But most are middle level nobles or
military officers. The entire party is for some old guy
who must be in his 80s.
Kiet walks the tavern girl home and she grants a kiss but
she is too drunk probably to recall. Kiet heads back to
Z'leyra's manor.
[Decalis 16th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet spends the morning looking for his dream estate. He
hears about one far to the east side of town and takes at
least an hour to get there and back to inspect it. But there
is a slight issue of water as the water table is too high
and the place floods too much.
After lunch Kiet heads to the basement and cuts more of the
gems. He finishes the other 15 worthless gems. Sadly two
more gems are destroyed beyond any use. But in total he loses
3 and 18 come out of the 21.
Then Kiet begins work on his two pearl necklaces.
He has an unenhanced pearl and an enhanced pearl that Kell
had and Kell willed to him. The chain will be medium length
both made from gold. The most difficult part is the small
gold dragon that holds the pearl. The dragon is wrapped around
it but the pearl is still exposed. Kiet gives honor to the
gods and dragons who are known to live long lives. Kiet knows
that too many folks just do a simple pearl necklace with not
even a shed of decoration or honor. Kiet studied well the
laws of magic and gives thanks to those laws of magic than
just stringing a chain and pearl together. Some believe like
Arawn and priests that adhering to the laws makes one favored
by the gods than just one who does spells for spell sake.
Just as the first necklace is almost finished the chain
seems to break and the "dragon" bends slightly due to thc cold
basement. Kiet has to start over. The second time the
necklace comes out perfectly. The second necklace has no flaws
at all and it is Kell's pearl. Kiet relaxes after almost 90
minutes of intense hand work.
Kiet values the necklace at about 7-8 silver. But the pearl
itself will boost that greatly. He figures once he enhances
his pearl it could be 50 silver or even double that with a
good buyer in silver. Kell's might be a bit higher based on
Kell's power level notes he made. So if he sold both he could
make 6-15 gold each.
Kell dangles the necklaces in his hands and eyes them in the
candlelight. Kiet glances behind him. A whisper or was that
the wind? It almost sounded like...no. Can't be. Like Kell's
voice saying 'nice'. But he is probably too tired and imagined it.
Kiet heads upstairs to bed.
For the morning Kiet gathers his personal notes, some from
Arawn and even some notes from Kaylle and studies them for
his Delude Sight spell so he can improve his gestures and
technique.
[Decalis 17th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet goes to his stash particularly the loot from the prison.
He grabs the diamond and 3 sapphires. The diamond is a bracelet
which as he examines it seems to have minimal flaws with a cloudy
surface of the diamond. The small bracelet would fit a girl
who could buy a starter gift. Kiet estimates it to be 140 silver.
But dealers can be picky. He sets the bracelet aside.
Sapphire #1 flawless, average clarify he makes into a bracelet.
Sapphire #2 flawless, average clarify would fit much better as
a amulet. Sapphire #3 slightly flaws and fine clarify would
look good as a bracelet though the sapphire is large. With
materials collected previously he begins work on the three
sapphires.
Sapphire #1 takes 36 minutes and he makes it with white gold.
The bracelet itself is worth he estimated 5 Silver which is a
nice profit from the materials. Sapphire #2 flawless, average
clarity the amulet pleases Kiet. This should double the value
of the sapphire alone! The simple lead amulet takes almost
two hours to make. Once done he values the amulet about
13 silver? But the upgrade doesn't seems to add much to the
overall value. Sapphire #3 slightly flawed and fine
clarity the bracelet doesn't seem to add much value boost.
The bracelet takes 35 minutes and he values it around 13 for
the basic bracelet.
A bit after lunch Kiet heads to the markets to sell
the four items. He wishes he had Kell with him to haggle.
But Kiet can be quite persuasive as well. For the black
diamond he loses 7 silver to his estimation almost 5%
loss for 133 silver. For the first sapphire bracelet he
gets 194.2 silver for sapphire and 5 silver for bracelet
so dealer makes it an even 200 silver a profit of 20 to his
estimate. For sapphire #2 amulet he is floored when the
dealer offers twice his estimate for the sapphire. This makes
him figure his skills are too low or the dealer sees
something he wants. That or the dealer is an idiot. So
the dealer gives 372.2 silver for sapphire and 13 for the
amulet a profit of almost 200 over his estimate. Sapphire #
bracelet he gets 164 silver a slight profit and 13 for
the bracelet. For spending 16 silver in materials Kiet
earns 69 gold in the loot!
Kiet heads to the manor to deposit his new gold. As Kiet
walks down the street he notices a nice brown eagle in a town
staring at him. It just stares as Kiet passes.
As Kiet enters the manor he spots Etain rushing at him. "I
found a nice place!" Before Kiet can place his gold in
his stores he is dragged away and to the west city margins
about 3 miles.
Kiet meets a middle aged woman who shows the country estate
to Kiet. It has two stories with basement and a half-attic.
The manor itself is about 150 feet by 80 feet for both floors.
First floor includes pantry, kitchen, dining hall, foyer, storage
and office. Second floor has 3 bedrooms, master bedroom and
a guest bedroom as well as storage. The attic is only about
50 by 50 feet but she explains it could be made into 2 rooms.
The attic is only 5 feet tall with a slanted roof. Kiet had
wanted a flat roof but since this attic is only a small part
of the overall roof he is fine with it. The basement looks like
it could fit a nice small non-fire shop.
Outback directly behind dining area windows is a garden. Kiet
is sad to see the garden full of weeds not used much at all. There
is a metal shed for equipment about 30 by 30 feet. Behind the
shed out of sight of house is a outhouse 10 x 10 feet. But then
Kiet looks to the north east side of yard and sees a silo. The lady
explains it was used to store farm foodstuffs and used a pulley
system to haul the material to top and drop to the bottom. It
has a large barn like door with two windows to see inside. It
is 50 feet tall and 50 feet in diameter. Kiet sees dreams in his
mind to make some rooms and stairs to the roof. A place 50 feet
up could be great for his purposes of magic casting. Maybe connect
the silo to the house with a tunnel.
The lady explains the farmland can be bought as well or sold
off. The land isn't used for now. The land is 3.5 acres by 2.5
acres with the manor in the center so its a good 6 acres of farm
land to buy. She says the land is only 6 silver which is typical
since it isn't prepared now. The manor is 69 gold. She says the
furniture seen inside is included. Kiet finds this a bit odd.
The lady is dressed a bit drag like a upper class peasant. A
possible farmer. But her hands are clean without any callouses.
She is trying to soften up Kiet. So why such a fast sell?
"The family is on hard times. The patriarch is very sick
and in town." But Kiet presses on to ask more questions.
"The son in his 30s did die in a farming accident in that field
over there. The family just wants out of here." Kiet nods
so that makes sense.
Kiet just made 69 gold and its in his pouch now. He
hands the lady 60 gold even to help pay for the furniture.
Still overall he earns a 9 gold profit today. Kiet smiles
at Etain and hugs him. He'll have to consider paying Etain
a commission. Then he slips 2 gold to Etain to pay for his
fine work. Etain beams even the ugly dwarf never gave him
coin!
Kiet invites Etain to dinner one last night before he
packs up and moves in! Kiet talks about his plans for a
stone wall and a brick wall around the garden. He suspects
the cost for the silo will be costly but he can probably ford
the walls.
[Decalis 18th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet wakes and packs. He rides to town and puts word
out that he needs staff for his manor. Gives directions and
info. Then he rides to the country estate with both of his
horses. He'll have to build a stable as well. But for now
they can use the farmland. Also could be placed in silo since
it is empty till a stable is made. Kiet also finds a architect
and asks him to meet him for future plans.
At Kiet's new place the architect arrives. Kiet gestures
and explains his concepts. First Kiet wants a 10 foot stone
wall around the entire property of the manor not the farmland
itself. So that would be a core property of 200 by 200 feet
walled in with a gate out front. The architect does some
math figuring and says for 50 ox carts it would take about
6 days for 368 CC. For 100 ox carts it would take 7 days at 384
Copper. This seems weird but Kiet agrees to the 6 days. He
says this will be 10 workers doing the wall.
For the garden he wants it enclosed with a brick wall 8 feet
tall with some half brick walls to break up the space. Architect
says for the brick will take 100 carts 6 days for 534 copper.
So a total of 902 Copper. He still has plenty of money so agrees
and pays the architect half for now and half when done.
Then Kiet orders a stable for his horses maybe 4 stalls with
some storage space 30 x 30 feet. Architect figures 10 more
workers doing it with ox carts of wood would be 414 copper.
Kiet grins a place of his own! If only papa could see him
now. But then again he'd never figured he'd settle here of
all places so inland from the home island.
As Kiet rearranges furniture and plans to either trash some or
replace more the staff prospects arrive. He specifically asks for
a couple married. A gardener/maintenance man for outside and
a housekeeper/cleaner/cook for inside. Later he may add to it.
But as the day continues the interviews go bad. Many are not
couples as requested and he just can't find the right people.
Finally after some study he lays down in his own bed
in the creepy dark large home all alone.
[Decalis 19th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to town to do some furniture buying and check
markets for his shopping list. But the items he wanted is not
around.
Kiet heads back and waits for the delivers to HIS home!
The interviews begin again. Finally on the 5th one and the
12th in the last 2 days he finds a great couple. They are
both married in their early 40s. The man has the skills and
is named Zeke. His wife enjoys cooking but can do the basic
cleaning chores and she is named Mahawn. Based on the staff
at Z'leyra's place he hires both for 3 silver a month for a total
of 6.
Kiet shows Mahawn the kitchen and asks her to prepare for
future cooking including need for supplies and any possible
inventory like silver wear and such. Kiet then takes Zeke
outside to show him the weeds. He explains the garden will
be a special herbal garden that will need special care and
attention. Not normal plants. Zeke agrees that he may
need to learn the basics of such care but it is possible.
The flood of workers begins over the next six days building
walls for property and garden as well as other minor repairs.
Soon the quiet state becomes very active with 30 plus workers.
That night as the workers leave Kiet finds a secluded spot
on the property against a completed wall section. He then
casts purification. Casts Detection to verify it was in place
which it was then moves onto the next set of spells. He casts
ensorcellment with Tumble on new ring #2 and #3 which he made
recently. He follows up with detection spells to verify both
tumbles are active and they are. Now two of his rings are set
with tumble placed on them.
[Decalis 20th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet walks into a chamber lined with stained glass windows.
The windows show depictions of strange beasts and wonderful
things. As Kiet walks toward the front he sees a man in front
of a large altar with his back turned. But Kiet can notice his
ears are large and round like dinner plates. On his hands are
white gloves. A strange chant is heard that Kiet seem to
recognize.. Just as Kiet gets to the altar he wakes up.
Weird dream in his home. HIS home! Kiet starts the day
working on his estate and supervising the work on the walls
and garden. He climbs the rickety wooden ladder to the top
of the silo. The metal groans and bends slightly. But Kiet
dares not to try to walk on it. He'll have to shore up
the roof and maybe build some rooms and better stairs. But
this tall structure he can see all around his land.
That night Kiet studies his delude sight spell notes and
texts.
[Decalis 21st, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Mahawn reports her inventory and what she needs for
shopping. Kiet approves and its mostly what is needed.
But Kiet adds some wines. Kiet realizes then he doesn't
have a wine cellar. The basement is nice but its too
warm. He'll have to figure that out later or get
ice delivered when needed.
A wall section in the north collapses onto a man but
there are 4 others who help him escape without harm.
Kiet yells at the workers to be careful. He tells Zeke
when he is inside to also supervise as needed.
[Decalis 22nd, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads into town to do some shopping for a day of rest.
He checks in with his contacts for his natural magical items
he wanted but none come in yet. He heads to do some furniture
and curtain shopping. Who'd think he'd be buying curtains
for his own place? Also buys paint for touch up work. It
is a grey colored house but some color would be nice.
Kiet visits Kaylle to see if he has any good books for
his new office. The library is always tossing out old
or not popular books due to space. Kaylle comes back with
about 12 on history and other subjects. Maybe one day he'll
learn how to read Marentian. But at least it is books to
look like a office.
After exiting a tavern for lunch Kiet encounters 2 nicely
moderate war horses. They have saddles and bags. Suddenly
a Marentian man in military uniform runs up saying they
escaped being tied up. He begins to hit the horses and
Kiet stops him. Such magnificent horses should not be
treated this badly by a jerk like him. He'll report the
man if he continues. The captain mounts one and takes
the other away but remains silent.
[Decalis 23rd-26th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet spends the next 4 days working on his estate and
inspecting the farm land. He watches as the stone wall
becomes real all around him. He especially watches and
supervises the garden walls since he wants it a particular
way.
At night for 3 nights he studies his delude sight spell.
On the last night he studies a small sketch book on personal
illusion. It includes some sketches on gestures as well
as makeup tips. So he studies his personal illusion spell
by this method.
[Decalis 26th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet walks to the hill which is nicely only a short
distance away from his home. He sets up the stone circle
again with incenses burning. He begins to chant the words
to give honor to the elements. Then he casts purification
among the stone circle.
Kiet casts detect and finds the spell failed so recasts
purification but at a lower level. This time he verifies
that the spell is cast correctly.
Kiet then casts an elemental pact to attune himself
to the air elementals.
While holding the wand he casts Knowledge and Sky Knowledge
to gain knowledge from the gods on his pearl enhancement spell.
At the end the information is enough to improve his power in
such enhancement.
Kiet then casts ensorcellment to place major illusion onto
ring #4 which he made recently. He casts detection and finds
though that both spells failed.
[Decalis 27th-28th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet spends the two days at the estate an does some painting
and cleanup. With a loaned book from Kaylle he studies Lawping
enhancement rite. At last this book is written in Katai.
[Decalis 29th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to town to visit Kaylle and do some shopping.
At one shop he is happy when a dealer tells him he found
a White Flint stone. It is unenhanced but the cost is 13
silver. Kiet pays for it and leaves.
Happy Kiet goes to a party and does some entertaining for the
crowd doing acrobatics. Once done though he counts the brass
bits. But it is only 10 BB a total of 1 copper's worth! But
Kiet is happy since he found the flint.
[Decalis 30th, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet inspects the construction and pays the architect
the final amount. He tells the man he may need him later
for the silo.
Kiet studies his Lapwing book that night.
[Decalis 31st, 1635TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet casts a purified area and confirms it in place by a
detection spell. Then he casts ensorcellment on ring #5 placing
Major Illusion on it followed by a detect spell to confirm it
did work.
Kiet then upgrades his wand to a new power level by applying
ensorcellment back on it. Followed up by Detection to confirm it.
Kiet then places on Ring #1 he made recently ensorcellment
with major illusion and confirms it in place with detection.
[Janaq 1st-4th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
While at the estate doing work around the home Kiet takes
time to study his lapwing book.
[Janaq 5th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to town to do some shopping and check on Kaylle for
any free books. Unlike last time he could not find the other
items he wanted for natural magical items.
Kiet finds a festival at a park and decides to do
some acrobatics for the crowd. At the end the happy
crowd gives him a total of 5 gold!
[Time: 4:12 pm]
Kiet is going home from the festival with a nice load
of free gold. Suddenly 5 city guards approach and demand
to know who he is. They are searching for a particular
person that has his same characteristics. For almost 10
minutes Kiet becomes upset and the guards threaten to
jail him for the night until they can confirm him. Then
the leader just gives up after asking other questions figuring
this is not the man they are seeking.
[Janaq 6th-7th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Next two days Kiet spends at home working and studying
his lapwing materials.
[Janaq 7th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to his favorite casting hill and watches two lovers
for a while before they leave. Then he casts into his now
destroyed stone circle purification with burning incenses. He
verifies it worked by detection.
Though there are some dark storm clouds on this cold winter
day he casts a pact spell with the air elementals. Then seeking
help from the gods both a knowledge and sky knowledge. Since
both spells worked he learns more info on lapwing and learns
a great deal.
Then using Wand he casts ensorcellment with smokeless
flame on his left pinky ring to improve its power. Now he
could probably burn a dragon half to death. But he casts
detect to confirm it worked and smiles. Kiet feels a nagging
feeling as if something changed. Did he just improve his magical
power a slight bit just as he cast that smokeless flame? Could
he be one step a better wizard?
Kiet sits back on the hill and seems pleased. The lapwing
is a bird after all so giving honor to the air spirits is
just added bonus. In return the gods gave him a great amount
of info to his mind.
Just as Kiet stands to return home he encounters a large
cattle that looks to be a bull. He is tempted to take it home
and toast it with his pinky fingers for steak. But it looks
like it is branded so must be an escaped animal from some nearly
farm.
[Janaq 8th-11th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet spends the next 4 days at the home and realizes he'll
need to hire a stable boy maybe for his new stable. Also
that he may name his new estate like some silly old folks
do naming their place like White Magnolia or such.
At night Kiet studies and improves his lapwing enhancement
rite through his knowledge spells and books.
[Janaq 12th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to town to do shopping and visit Kaylle and
see if Dorhak is even still alive.
Kiet is pleased to find Smarag at a vendor's stand. A person
he hasn't visited in awhile. The mineral is unenhanced and
so he pays 10 silver for it.
Kiet does some acrobatic fun in a park. But he is a bit
distracted by a group of boys with dogs. After the
attack by the dogs on that hill. He does so badly that
not only does he not get any coin but 2 guys hit him in the
arm for wasting their time.
[Janaq 13th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
At the manor Kiet places a purification on the ground and
ensures it is active via detection which it is.
Then he casts ensorcellment on his bracer to improve his
mana battery capacity. Then he channels mana into the battery.
Followed by a detection to verify it all worked which it did.
[Janaq 14th-17th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet spends the next few days at the estate working on the
final touch ups and studying.. But for the mornings he decides
to go to the library and ask Kaylle to help him learn to read
Marentian. Kaylle agrees to teach him and brings a book to help
out since it is common for school kids to use the book.
[Janaq 17th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
At the manor in his office with wand in hand he grabs two of
his coins. Kiet places sustenance on both coins for the wards
for later use.
[Janaq 18th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet spends the day at the estate going to town to learn reading.
[Time: 8:14 am]
Kiet I slate to get to the library. As he is walking fast
toward the library he notices 3 foxes. Well maybe foxes they
are small silver tailed foxes. In fact they have 9
tails. There are
3 of them. They are at the head of a alley and are circling
and eyeing Kiet.
Kiet is curious about these strange animals. But Kaylle
doesn't like starting late. Kiet passes the strange animals
and moves on. Later he asks Kaylle about them and the scholar
Faerry replies, "sounds like Kumiho. Nasty little life eaters.
Glad you didn't follow them."
But Kiet wonders who else might've fallen victim to the
cute foxes.
After learning from Kaylle, Kiet does some acrobatics again
at a park and earns 8 copper from it.
[Janaq 20th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to his favored casting hill. He hopes no one will
buy that land one day. The teens use it to party and make out
but it is perfect for his spells. He lights his incenses and
builds his usual rock circle.
Kiet then casts purification and confirms it worked via detection.
Next he forms a elemental pact with the air elementals.
Then he casts knowledge and sky knowledge to improve his Avian
Command knowledge.
Holding his wand he then casts ensorcellment along with smokeless
flame on his right pinky ring to improve its power. Then he
casts detection and confirms it worked.
[Janaq 21st-25th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet spends the next few days working on the estate and learning
under Kaylle how to read. Kiet learns to finally read on his
own on the 25th but decides to do a couple more days to ensure his
quality.
[Janaq 21st, [Time: 9:14 am]
Kiet is taking a break from Kaylle and standing outside
the library when he notices 2 very nice looking riding horse
IVs trot past. One is pure white while the other is brown
with white on head and tail. The two riders are young
males that seem well off. Most horses are a bit drab and
common like black or all brown. These are much better at
first sight.
[Janaq 21st, [Time: 11:54 pm]
Kiet is coming back to his home from the outhouse when he
hears a noise out front. Going to the front gate he notices
11 pilgrims with torches chanting and dancing in the street.
Something about some midnight moon festival for some goddess
he doesn't recognize. They are loud on the dirt road down
the way but at least not near his home.
[Janaq 25th, [Time: 10:45 pm]
Mahawn comes to Kiet's office and says some man is at the
front door. Kiet goes and it is a city guard on patrol. He
asks if he has seen a man in black tunic and gray pants. He
has been involved in a possible murder nearby. Kiet shakes
his head and the guard leaves. Kiet ensures the place is
secure for the night.
[Janaq 26th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to the library and learns a bit more on reading. He
also asks for books on healing potions. Kaylle says there aren't
many around but finds one or two old ones.
Kiet practices his acrobatics in front of a crowd and is given
7 copper for his fun.
[Janaq 27th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
At the estate Kiet places purification on the ground with
a detect spell to verify it worked. Kiet then grabs his pearl
and casts enhancement to make it magical followed by a detect spell
to verify it worked.
Kiet repurifies the ground and places a ward on his bracer
to place mana shield. Casting detection he confirms it worked.
Kiet then places a ward on the copper coin to place sustenance
on it and confirms it worked with detection.
[Time: 12:07 pm]
Kiet is done shopping for his natural magical items but finds
nothing today. He is heading to a tavern for lunch when he sees
a camel. This one looks nasty and the rider warns him to stay away
as its a war trained mount and can spit 10 feet.
[Time: 9:51 pm]
Kiet is going to the outhouse when he notices a form in the
darkness. Then he hears a growl and a small hound the size of
a ball with 3 heads charges toward Kiet. Kiet has seen this thing
before a hell hound when Mae summoned one. Is she around? These
things aren't found unless some idiot summoned them and they
escaped. IS Mae is around she'll have to be punished! Maybe get
Dorhak to spank her. No she might like that.
Kiet reaches for his tulwar but he has nothing as he was going
to the outhouse. Who goes to the outhouse with weapons? The
hell hound must've leaped over the wall.
Three of the heads try to bite Kiet but only 1 hits biting
him on his left shoulder doing 5 points of damage. Kiet rolls
to the left using his acrobatic skills to get away.
Kiet then raises both hands to activate his flame rings but
knows hell hounds are immune to some fire magic. He hopes
that smokeless flame is not in that family of spells. But
the hound is fast and leaps. Kiet rolls to the right and
avoids being bit in the head.
Kiet activates his rings and aims. The left one fails to
launch but right does and hits the hound doing 31 points of damage.
The hell hound evaporates as it is sent back to the upper world
probably dead.
[Janaq 27th-30th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet continues to study at home the healing potions books
and scrolls. He is professional quality herbalist but not
a master so its like reading ancient Katai mixed with Gom.
It is tedious and boring but it is helpful.
[Janaq 31st-30th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to his favorite casting hill and does his usual routine
of purified stone circle with incenses. With the purified
ground cast and verified by detect he casts his next set of
knowledge and sky knowledge spells.
Kiet improves through the knowledge spells elder summoning.
The elemental pact did not help as much today but it was good.
Kiet finally adds another sustenance ward to a copper coin.
[Febris 1st, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet stays home and studies his healing potion materials.
[Febris 2nd, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to town to shop for stuff but still can't find the
other natural magical items he wanted.
At a park Kiet tries to entertain some but finds that the
people are a bit weird. Some very strict people who after
threaten to lash Kiet for showing erotic acrobatics to their
little kids. Kiet never did such but he has to flee or
being lashed by a very large man with a whip.
[Febris 3rd-4th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet spends the next 2 days at the manor studying his healing
potion materials.
[Febris 4th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 9:54 pm]
Kiet is going to the outhouse this time with tulwar on his
belt. Stupid hell hounds. When he sees Zeke on the ground
with boils. Zeke is coughing and makes Kiet look around.
Kiet figures the outhouse door is open and he smells the foul
odor then he realizes this is not the outhouse. He draws
his tulwar as he has been here before. The party has fought
at least one or two disease demons.
Then Kiet sees the demon on the top of the stable and it
flies right for Kiet. Kiet hits the demon but there
does not seems to do any damage. Then he recalls they are
immune to iron.
The demon dives and swipes with his talons touching Kiet.
Kiet yells in pain as his bones ache from a sudden surge of
plague. Kiet rolls and falls flat to the ground. Harder to
hit the acrobat on the ground.
.
The demon seems happy it infects another human and begins
to lift off. But Kiet raises his hands and activates his
pink rings. Both rings shoot out flame and hits the demon
40 feet away. It flares up taking 32 and 30 points and
lands on the ground nothing but burnt flesh dead.
Weak Kiet yells and yells for Mahawn. She comes up but he
warns her to stay away from both of them. To go fetch a healer
that can cure disease. She hurries away as fast as she can.
[Time: 10:32 pm]
A healer finally arrives with a bag and she casts magic to
first heal and treat Kiet then Zeke. She warns that both may be
healed but their energy will have to heal back over a few days.
She charges Kiet 3 silver to heal both.
[Febris 5th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet casts a mana sending spell to Pyan saying, "Pyandalgor -
this is Kiet - your food coins are ready." The magical
communication
sphere shoots outward to find Pyan. Pyan shoudd be somewhere
in the city.
Kiet then places a water from stone ward onto a copper coin.
He tries to test it but nothing happens. One or both spells
must've failed.
Kiet then casts another mana sending sphere out toward Arawn
saying - "This is Kiet - perhaps we should talk about Kell's
horseshoes." The sphere sees confused but heads outward to fade.
But in the end Arawn is probably in the dark lands or sacred forest
and the sphere never gets to him due to distance.
Kiet then casts magic to magically enhance his pigeon stones.
Finally he casts a ward on another coin to add water from stone
onto it. He tests it and it works.
[Febris 6th-8th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet stays at home and studies his healing potion materials.
[Febris 9th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to town to do shopping. Kiet can't find the two
items for his natural magic inventory.
Kiet entertains a crowd of peasants making sure he is careful
not to offend this time. Kiet feels distracted but when he
finishes he finds a apple and some grapes. Kiet is impressed
that he may not have done a great job but these poor peasants
gave their food to him. He is touched.
[Febris 10th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet spends another day at home studying his potion materials.
[Febris 11th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to his nearby casting hill to do his routine over
again with new incenses. He purifies the stone circle and
verifies it with detect spell. After gaining a pact with the
air elementals he casts knowledge and sky knowledge. He learns
more on his Elder summoning spell to improve it.
[Febris 12th-15th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet stays at home and studies more of his potion materials.
[Febris 16th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet goes back to town to shop for his natural items but can't
find them. Kiet does acrobatic things on a street near a party
and earns 14 silver.
[Febris 17th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet takes 3 coins he made and places sustenance wards on them.
But when he tests 2 of the 3 coins they do nothing so he must've
failed in one of the two spells.
[Febris 18th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet casts another sustenance ward spell upon a copper
coin. It tests out fine.
[Febris 19th-22nd, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet stays at home and studies his potion materials as well
as testing what he has started to create.
[Febris 22nd, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to the casting hill but not before Mahawn gives
him some lunch. She has gotten used to his odd hill treks
routine that she packs a sandwich and apple. Kiet knows
she will not be will not be that long but its the thought
that counts.
Kiet purifies his stone circle while burning incenses
and casts detect to verify it seems to be in place. He
uses his knowledge spells to improve his iron skin spell.
[Febris 23rd-27th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet stays at home and tests out his healing potions.
[Febris 28th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet takes 3 more copper coins and places sustenance wards
on them. The first test out fine. But the 3rd one he
finds it does not work so the spells must've failed.
Later on Mahawn makes a new soup and it is a bit too salty.
Kiet tells her it is too salty and is amazed since he
intended to say it was fine. Later on Zeke asks why he
wants a garden well hidden and Kiet tells the truth which
is odd as he meant to do half and half. Then he tries to lie
and says the sky is red but blue comes out of his mouth. Then
he realizes that last spell must've failed so badly he is
now cursed and can't lie.
Kiet goes to town and after telling the truth to 3 healers
about how they stink or look bad he finds a nice healer who
cures him of the curse for 3 silver.
A messenger comes to visit Kiet and asks that he go to the
library. Kiet heads there and Kaylle smiles as he says he
found a book just on healing potions. The other stuff was
round about methods this was written specifically for it.
Also it is written in Marentian which is good news.
[Marqi 1st, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet stays at home and learns directly from the healing
potions book.
[Marqi 2nd, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to town to do shopping for his healing potions.
He tries to search for the two natural magical items he
wants but finds none.
Kiet then performs at a park and the crowd is very well off.
Kiet earns 7 gold!
[Marqi 3rd-4th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet takes a couple days and studies the healing potions
book and is glad he can lie now for the salty food.
[Marqi 5th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to the casting hill once more. With incense
burning and his stone circle in place he purifies the ground.
He casts detection but it doesn't seem to have worked. Course
the detect could've failed and purified worked. But just in
case he recasts purification at a lower level. Then recasts
and verifies it is in place.
With his knowledge he learns to upgrade his Iron Skin. But
for his Sky knowledge spell he uses that info to learn neutral
purification. The pact with the elements seem to be stable
today and give him double knowledge.
[Marqi 7th-8th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet spends the next 3 days at home learning from his potions
book.
[Marqi 9th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet casts onto the wand a ward to detect high intelligence and
and wisdom. This has to be cast twice for each ward.
Then Kiet casts on another coin sustenance ward and tests it.
It seems to work fine.
Kiet heads into town and finds a ship with a Lapwing Heart and
sells it for 15 silver unenhanced.
Kiet goes to do some acrobatics but the snow makes the ground
hard to use and slippery. As a result 5 odd things are thrown
at Kiet like fruit and trash for wasting their time.
[Marqi 10th-13th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet studies his potions book at home for the next few days.
[Marqi 14th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Taking two Donaran copper coins Kiet tries to place two more
sustenance wards on each. The first works fine. The second
one fails though and nothing happens.
[Marqi 15th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet tests some new healing potions by cutting his fingers
and seeing if they work. He continues studying his potion book.
[Marqi 16th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to town to shop for the last natural magical item
he wants but finds nothing. Kiet practices his acrobatic skill
on others and they pay him 5 gold in reward.
[Marqi 17th, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
A late winter storm is brewing with occasional sleet and some
snow flakes. But It is not enough to stop Kiet from going
to the casting hill. He does his usual routine of burning
incenses and purified stone circle.
After obtaining a elemental act with the air spirits, Kiet
then casts his knowledge spells. But the first one seems to
fail as he learns nothing but a itchy cold nose. The sky knowledge
spell though he begins to learn neutral purification.
[Marqi 18th-22nd, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet stays at the estate and studies his healing potions
book and tries to test some experiments.
[Marqi 23rd, 1636TH] [Sivas, Marentia]
Kiet heads to town to do some more shopping. He had hoped
to get Heliotropius but still no luck.
Kiet does some acrobatics at a small park but the peasants
aren't too pleased. In fact 2 old ladies and 1 old man try
to hit Kiet as they pass for wasting their time.
During the acrobatic session Kiet swore he saw a small
man that looked like Dorhak pass by but he was busy trying
to earn the favor of the mean peasants.
