Downtime 04 ❖ May 3, 2020
| Caenn advances in his studies: |
| Fireball, 3: All creatures Close to the target take 1d6 fire damage per level. |
| Aeris crafts from the remaining hide of the White Sow: |
| Splendid White Leather Armour of the Subtle Jurist: AC DEX +2, counts as cloth armour. |
| And furthermore hears the name of Ushanpoor, City of the Dead beyond the Hinterlands. |
| Garviel seeks out Leander for a regimen of endurance training: |
| He now has 18HP, and may reach 24 with further training. |
Wearily, Aeris pushes away the lingering threat of fatigue from the corners their1 eyes. Likely as not, imbibing wine on top of what he can only hope was grim antidote and a bird’s portion of the strange victuals of this realm was... Quite unwise.
On the workbench a leather gambeson for Caenn is coming along quite nicely, after some effort trial and error’ing lye bases and tanning. Aeris clears space and hefts the cuirass of her own armour onto the table, running a hand over the edge recently fretted and scuffed, barely suppressing a shudder. He resists the hypnagogic warmth of the hearth where he is smelting gold pieces, the mercurial, mesmerising shimmer of metals separating; takes up tools and sets to work . . .
It is not yet dawn in Zyan and Aeris has fallen asleep – a smattering of gold set to cool in a bowl beside them and the same tipping a bevel quill she has dropped. Clutched in their hand curled close to his lips is a pendant which – were you to prise apart her fingers – you would find to be an acorn suspended in amber with two rose-gold oak leaves furled around it on a light gold chain.
