Just about to sleep, but will read over morning tea tomorrow! And hopefully post as well.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Oh damn, that's a lot of friendship gems, I feel kinda bad. Didn't even realize they were that uneven, hrm.

Dungeons of Drakkenheim

I'm late to say this, but no need to apologize, life always comes first!

Aesithas (D&D 5e Homebrew) - On Hiatus

I hope my post works, but lmk if not! Had a lot of trouble figuring out what bits in particular he would know and how to reply. Wanted Raj to offer at least something relevant he might have heard from the council, but without taking the lead away from Dag'Tyr. So settled for him knowing that one passage at least. B)

Edit: Also did my level up, since I'd forgotten! Speaking of, would I be able to summon my familiar during the downtime?

I'Rajith stood, unblinking, as he listened to the Wooden One's words. Her concern was the rot; a subject the noctem had heard bits and piece of in passing, from sources material and not.

"'Tis indeed the place for knowledge for many a creature. If you've need for it, my assistance is yours," he offered, just as another figure joined their midst. Kin, also interested in the rot. I'Rajith nodded him a greeting. As the two others conversed, his gaze wandered to the pile of books he'd accrued, but his mind was elsewhere. In his head, he was already browsing through a library of a different kind.

"Harken ye, the root of all Aesithas growes sicke uponne the shadows ov eville. The Lusterre ov the Blayd of the Dayl waynnes, the Lands of the Dayl growwe weiry, and illnes threttens those who dwel in thisse playce..." he spoke in a tone both monotone and foreign, a perfect recital of what was once said by someone now long-gone. "It's a passage that has resided in my head for a time, but I do not know its origin nor meaning. I do believe it is tied to the Rot, however."

He was about to continue, but a flurry of words in his mind whisked his attention away. "The Zephyrites... Tale of... Prospero... Yes, quite. But what does the tale entail?" He mumbled to himself. Hand on his chin, the young Noctem turned on his heel and wandered behind his book pile, reaching for a yet unread tome on the shelves. The matter of the Rot seemed forgotten for now, as did the two who sought knowledge on it.

At least until sometime later, the kin called them back over, having made a discovery. By then, I'Rajith had immersed himself in many a subject - but admittedly not the one he'd promised his help with. Almost as if snapping out of a stupor of some kind, he looked over with half-glazed eyes. The kin suggested they leave the library, to set out into the world in search for answers and means to ease the people's suffering. I'Rajith pondered on the suggestion for a moment, then concurred.

"I have spent many an hour acquiring knowledge from times past." He gestured towards a window. "Perhaps it is time to learn something new - something not yet recorded."

HAUNTING VISIONS: You are haunted by visions of the darkness. At the start of the session, roll +Charm. On a hit, you’ve seen a vision of the Darkness that will aid your Clutch’s efforts; learn something useful and interesting about the tasks at hand. On a 10+, you’ve seen the true face of the Darkness; ask the DM a followup question as well. On a miss, your vision is too dark to aid you; the future it foretells is grim and painful.
When you advance this move, mark a new feature for your visions. When you roll Haunting Vision, you may:
[] share your vision with a Clutchmate; take +1 forward to your Haunting Vision roll.
[x] prepare your mind; ask an additional question (even on a miss).
[] guide your vision; tell the DM what aspect of Dragonia your vision will concern.
[] defy your future; offer a +1 forward to a Clutchmate to alter what you have seen.
Tell the DM which dragons helped you gain the strength to master your visions.

TOUCH THE DARKNESS: Using your powers to spy on the Darkness, roll +Charm. On a hit, the Darkness gives you a vision and answers your questions. On a hit, choose one from the list below. On a 10+, choose two. The visions...
- ... are lucid and detailed; clear a Shadow.
- ... show you what you need to do; take +1 forward to do it.
- ... reveal the role a dragon will play in the events to come; give +1 forward to a Clutchmate.
On a 7-9, choose one from the list below as well. The visions...
- ... corrupt your soul; mark a Shadow.
- ... distance you from others; return a Gem.
- ... attack your weakened body, take -1 forward.
On a miss, you attract the attention of the Darkness itself.

Make sure your clutch knows you are willing to sacrifice their feelings to get the job done. You are the Seer. Return from your Shadowself when a friend convinces you to trust a dragon you do not know.

Fellowship:

Skobeloff's knowledge is unparalleled within the Clutch, but they do not see the danger ahead. Take a Gem from them.

Shieldwing helped save you from the Darkness. Explain how they exemplified your virtue. Give them a Gem.

Brain over Brawn

I had sneaked out on my own to combat a danger I'd foreseen - a mistake on my part, I soon came to realize. Shieldwing the ever-vigilant came to my aid, however the monster wasn't one to be bested with brute strength alone. I told him as much, suggesting he run as I tried to pull the beast's attention away from his battered body. As I suspected from a Brynbak, he did not. Bravery truly is a curse, and so is knowledge.

What I had not foreseen was how he acted next. Instead of charging the beast again for what would have surely been his last time, he took note of our environment and suggested we cause a rock slide. Together, through teamwork, we managed to do just that - and so, the nightmare I had foreseen never came to pass. I shall keep my eye on him, this foolhardy drake who subverted my expectations.

You dreamed of Stargaze long before you two met. Tell them what the dream was about and take a Gem from them.

Dream of a Pale Passenger (WIP)

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Actually, anything that is a 7 or above is a hit! (And even a miss would have gotten you a vision, just not a very pleasant or clear one.)

Hmm... I will have to think about what Fellwing is going to see here. I'll probably include that information in the intro post.

@XxFellsingxX

Oh, wait, true, my tired brain misread the move as needing a 10+, but that was just for a follow up question! Cool, cool, looking forward to the vision then. B)

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

For the roll, got a 6 + 2 = 8, so a miss. No visions for me.

Will post Fellwing's sheet along with the fellowship explanations tomorrow, about to sleep!
