[New Stuff]
[Janaq 23rdt 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 7:48 am]
Z'leyra is heading to meet Omas at the shore for some
very cold swimming today. She passes a small field where
there are 8 pesaants around a elderly older man. The man
is preaching about his god and how powerful he is that they
should join his group of worshippers and be well
rewarded. Z'leyra
notices the peasants growing agitated but not against the
man but for what he is saying. Z'leyra watches as the man
walks to a bush and waves a hand over the bush. The crowd
gasps as they see something. But to Z'leyra she sees nothing.
"As this bush decays the power of my god grows and is given
to you in reverse!" Z'leyra sees the plant fine and realizes
the man must be using illusions. She stops and walks toward
the group. As she inches her way forward the necklaces around
her neck forces the bush to reveal the truth to the crowd. They
point but the man ignores them. He eyes Z'leyra and says she
is a non believer and should be removed. Four men come
close as the man points to Z'leyra.
Z'leyra quickly moves to the elderly man and hopes the
necklace will reveals a bit more. She is surpirsed to
see the man never change. "Kill that non believer!"
Six of the men and women move toward Z'leyra. Z'leyra
wishes Arawn was here a priest could argue against this
man or reveal him faster. Z'leyra backs up from the group
as she considers her options. She can't just take on these
peasants. But the elderly man is another story if he is
doing evil here. She has her staff but since she would
be swimming doesn't wear her armor.
Time is up as four of the men grab her arms and shoulders.
One of the men draws a rusty knife.
Suddenly the elderly man yelps as Corona fires a bolt from
his eyes squarely at the back of the man.
Everyone turns to see the man shift from human form to
a scaled short thing with pointy ears. Z'leyra has seen
similar things like a terrestial demon. The crowd gasps
as they see his true form. But the crowd recovers as the man
continues to speak that only they will get the bonus of his
gods and their family.
The man draws up the rusty knife and Z'leyra kicks the
man away. She throws the man on her left arm toward the
man on her other arm making heads collide. She reaches
down and grabs her staff. Stepping back as the others
charge she swings.
She knocks out one man quickly but was a pulled blow
not wanting to kill the man. She side steps and rushes
the Pseudothei thing. She swings and hits the old man
knocking him down to the ground.
Five of the men attack and charge Z'leyra. They kick, claw
and slug Z'leyra doing 5, 4 and 6 points of damage. But she
knows if they can only see the truth they'll stop.
The creature gets to his knees and yells at the shaman
speaking strange words. Then in Marentian he says "If
I did you all will kill each other!"
This causes the crowd to be taken aback. They hesitate
and seem dazed. Z'leyra hits the demon in the head once
more doing another 10 points. The creature fails flat
on his back.
- The crowd surges all at once as 8 men and women toward
Z'leyra. Corona fires a blast in front of the crowd forcing
them to stop and hesitate as they glance up at the eagle.
Z'leyra glances down to see the man breathing so he's
not dead that's good. Z'leyra quickly speaks a few words
and a fine mist starts to drop over the crowd. Soon the
weak peasants fall asleep.
Z'leyra can't detect what magic is at hand here so can't figure
out what to end. So she circles the sleeping group and
waits. Soon the first man wakes and she demands he remain
on the ground. Then a 2nd and 3rd man. She continues this until
all of the 8 people wake and are forced to remain on the
ground. She waits and waits. Soon the magic of whatever
was cast on this crowd ends. A woman gasps at seeing the
scaled demon thing. Then 2 more man realize what they are
seeing. Z'leyra explains this thing is not working for them
but against them. She lets the crowd up and they back away.
That's when Z'leyra delivers the blow to kill the beast.
Confused and dazed Z'leyra casts a healing spell upon
herself as they thank the healer for helping them.
She declines swimming as her wounds could get infected
in the water so instead they jog a few miles.
[Time: 3:24 am]
Z'leyra wakes to the clank of the front gate. She'll
have to oil it soon. She notices the guards talking to
3 on horseback. The men soon leave and the guards
re-enter the manor grounds. Curious she summons one guard
to find out what was the issue. It seems the group that
came back to get healing for hunting down the bandits has
come back. They found the bandit camp but did lose half
their group and only down to 3 now. They felt they should
at least let you know and give thanks for the healing.
[Janaq 24th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 7:48 am]
-
Z'leyra is requested at a tavern this early to meet a group
of merchants. When she gets there she finds 15 merchants.
They explain that her healing school could offset local healers
and pull resources from them. In the end it is a issue of
supply and demand They are here to protect their supply
lines including healers. Z'leyra stands for 45 minutes
and gives a eloquent argument.
A dozen of the merchants leave without given approval or
comments. Three remain. They ask questions and she answers
them as best she can. At least one man who sells healing
kits to the military does not like how she looks. She is
not a typical healer in the city. Dressed in various styles
of clothing and that helmet. The merchant feels Z'leyra
is not the city quality healer based on these silly things.
The two who remain promise to get back to her on future
deals for supplies once they assess her "school".
-
[Time: 9:33 pm]
Z'leyra spots a creature flying in the air over the
buildings nearby. She is heading home from the school
to get dinner so Corona is not with her. The creature
is wearing light blue robes or cowls. As she watches
she recognizes it as a possible female jinn. The Jinn is
flying over the buildings fast. Z'leyra tries to give
chase on her horse but the flying Jinn is so fast she
easily over takes distance and disappears from Z''leyra's sight.
[Janaq 25th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
That evening Z'leyra casts Orient Self, Purification and
Knowledge to gain more Restoration knowledge.
[Janaq 30th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 3:14 pm]
After a long morning of obstacle course work, Z'leyra
notices 5 peasants on a street. Four seem to be arguing with
one young male. Seems the 4 are trying to prevent the man
from marrying a girl they feel to be tainted by bad spirits.
Z'leyra knows the lowest group of society have these odd
phobias and superstitions. To argue for the man would
just be futile. Sometimes education helps but to some there
is no hope. She leaves them to their argument.
[Janaq 31st, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 3:12 pm]
Z'leyra is making up for lost swimming time today when she
notices getting out of the water a single cattle bull. Omas
yells at her to go back to the water. But Z'leyra finds it
odd for a animal of this type to be so close to the water.
Very little grazing land in this small beach. Omas pushes
Z'leyra back into the ice water. To swim a bit more to build
up her stamina. As she exits the bull seems to be missing
and figures the owner came and found it or it was taken by
others. Either way it is branded so not her concern.
[Febris 1st, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra casts a Cure Age spell on herself.
[Febris 4th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra casts Cure Age, Orient Self, Purification and another
Knowledge spell to learn more Restoration. She then casts
Mana shield which fails, mana sense, mana reading and a
balance speed spell.
Z'leyra then casts Orient Self and 5 enchantments to
enchant her previously made purses to improve their
armor value and capacity. She does this for 2 of the 5 before
she gets low on mana.
[Febris 5th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Now that Z'leyra has finished her stamina training
she can dedicate the rest of her time mainly at the
healing school. Today she inspects the school. Originally
she only had 3 students but they have moved on to other
jobs. There isn't just enough work for this school
at this time. The one student Kamaris is young in his
early 20s and explains that it is mostly first aid stuff
with nothing serious. He explains that the reputation of
her school will have to spread before they get a steady
customer flow. Till then it may only be a half dozen a week
at most. Even then they usually pay in trade or chickens or
some such as peasants can't afford much.
[Time: 10:50 am]
At the school two farmers rush in with a man bleeding.
From a nearby farm about 2 miles away it is close rather
than other healers. They explained there was a plow
accident and he was cut. Z'leyra and Kamaris examine the
man and find the leg almost dead. If it was the main artery
he'd be dead by now. But this is serious so Z'leyraa has
to cast a healing spell on him. Z'leyra requests to watch
the man for anther hour in a room until she can discharges him.
The farmers offer to pay in goats if need be.
[Time: 5:50 pm]
Z'leyra is heading back to her manor when she spots
3 falcons in the air nearby. Two are adults and one
is a small one. She watches as Corona dives and
weaves playing harmlessly with the birds. She considers
changing to eagle form but it is dusk and needs to
get home. She decides to stop at a tavern for dinner and
see if some of the local rich and elite are around to carouse
with so she can socialize.
[Time: 8:46 pm]
Z'leyra bombed out finding only a tax collector in the
tavern. It seems it is harder to get into the social
elite than expected. Back at the manor she is in her
office when she notices the clank of the front gate
open. The guard is talking to some peasant and they
are arguing. The other guard from the back goes to help
the verbal argument. Z'leyra dons her armor and
grabs her sword and staff. Why can't the guards just get
rid of the peasant? Exiting the front door the peasant
suddenly stops arguing and turns to leave.
The Anakim smiles. Humans are so gullible. Pay
some fool a shiny coin you took from another puny
man and they do your bidding. The Aankim easily
scaled the manor wall due to his height. Now that
both guards are in the same area he casts a spell and
gestures the 100 feet toward them. Suddenly a sound
sphere of noise 30 feet in diameter hits the guards.
the infernal noise is so much they scream and fall to
their knees reaching for their ears. The Anakim smiles and
moves through the bushes.
"They will be fine...eventually in a month and can hear
again." The anakim speaks.
Z'leyra twirls and sees a very large man with many muscles
and standing 8 foot 4 emerge from the darkness. On his
hip is a scimitar. He is wearing black ring mail. On his
back looks to be a hammer? But in his hands is a Glaive.
The being reaches into a vest pocket and pulls as shiny
ball out. He throws it the 80 feet toward Z'leyra.
Before she can ducks the ball explodes. Green and
white lights flash in a strobe. But there is no damage.
But Z'leyra saw this once before in Donara. A mana bomb.
Which means she may not be able to cast magic for some
time at this point.
The being calmly walks forward. "Now that we are on
a level field. It is time for you to die! Prepare!"
Z'leyra sees the long glaive and knows that either her
staff or sword will be more limited. Her staff would be
fine with range but less effective against this bulk of a man.
The sword should be fine. She drops her war staff and
draws her great sword. She stands ready as the Aankim
quietly walks forward.
Z'leyra swings her sword and misses. The Aankim being
just smiles. The anakim misses as well as he swings but
maybe he is just toying with Z'leyra. Above Corona wants
to help but might hit Z'leyra.
The Aankim hits Z'leyra in the lower left abdomen doing
1 point through her armor. The Aankim smiles at first
blood. Z'leyra fails to hit in reaction.
The being fails to hit Z'leyra. Z'leyra misses as well.
The being hits Z'leyra again in the same area doing another
point past her armor. Z'leyra slices the sword up and side
ways to cut a chunk out of the being's right shoulder doing 9
points of damage.
The Anakim fails to hit. But Z'leyra does hitting
the creature in the same place she was hit in the lower
right abdomen doing 15 points of damage. The Aanakim
flinches and looks surprised.
Both attack each other and fail to hit.
The Anakim hits Z'leyra in her right arm forcing her to
release her great sword and does 2 points of damage.
Z'leyra dives to the side and yells for Corona.
Corona fires at the chest of the Anakim. The
eagle's magical eyes bore a deep hole in his chest
doing 8 points of damage. But the being still remains
standing.
The being moves toward Z'leyra and stabs her in the
upper left chest but her armor protects her. Z'leyra
now with better angle and range fires a blast from
her helmet. The fire dart hits the being but seems
to bounce off doing nothing so his magical defense must
be too high.
The Aanakim slams his glaive onto Z'leyra who rolls
away in time to miss a death blow. Z'leyra grabs her
staff and gets to her knees. The being had bent to
take out Z'leyra which gave Z'leyra time to aim her
staff and hit the being in his head doing 15 points of
damage. Cheek and skull is crushed as the being collapses
on the ground dead.
Z'leyra stands and ensures the being is dead then moves
to help her guards. They are both knocked out dazed from
the sonics. She figures the spell will end soon so turns
back to inspect the being. His similar and ring mail seem
nothing special at all. She wonders why this being was here
as he is not a normal human at such height. But then again
Raban was this tall but he was half human. Was he hired to
kill or just some random encounter?
The sound sphere ends and Z'leyra goes to help her guards.
She wakes one up and realizes he is deaf. Otherwise he is
all right with no damage. She figures the deafness is a
result of the spell so its not magical and can't be cured.
An hour later with the steward helping they try to explain
the guards can't work. But she will pay their wage since
she can't cure them. If the being is correct they will
regain hearing soon enough. But she has no choice but
to hire another set of guards until then. In fact the
guards can't until a mosth later on Marqi 13th.
Z'leyra casts Orient Self and enchants 2 more of her
purses for capacity and armor.
[Febris 6th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra casts Orient Self twice and then enchants the
last purse. Then casts enchantment to improve her
wand but does not realize one or both spells fail. She
had hoped to enhance gems but needs to learn more
enhancement rites to do so. Had hoped to cast a Chaos
purification zone around her manor but needs to learn that
chaos spell as well. Z'leyra does cast two protection vs
Chaos wards on her manor two doors. She does hear the guards
comment that such magic won't help a evil thing form using
a window or just getting inside and avoid doors. Plus
the succubus attacked outside not at the doors.
[Febris 7th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 3:09 am]
A freezing knight finds Z'leyra leaving the outhouse when
she encounters a small black freezing cat. The cat
flees when she gets near. But Z'leyra brings a bowl of warm
milk and food from the cook the cat might be able to eat.
She then heads to bed making a note to find the hole the
cat came in.
[Febris 9th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
The next 3 days Z'leyra spends away from the school not
teaching. The first 2 days she works on her damaged armor.
It will take 2 days and 3 hours to repair her armor back to
its full amount.
[Time: 7:00 pm]
Z'leyra does find a high end tavern to visit to try to
make some elite contacts. This has expensive food and wines.
So it should work. But in the end all groups seem to be
tight and hard to mingle with. Those who go to the bar
she tries to chit-chat but they are too distracted by
their own friends.
Z'leyra heads home and spots 6 pigs on the road. They'd
be a nice meal. But probably escaped from some farm or
house so leaves them to the cold.
[Febris 11th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra heads to town scour the lumber yards to get
wood to replace her lost wand thanks to fake-Kiet. She
could spend weeks finding the wand-best wood but decides
to pick any old wood. First place seems to have average
wood quality. The second seems better with less decay,
rot and wood disease. The clerk asks what her husband
wants with the wood and acts friendly. Then she spots
the raw lumber uncut. "You don't want that's your husband
wants cut wood little lady. Let me show you over here."
But Z'leyra insists knowing cut wood would ruin any magical
ability unless she did it. Z'leyra selects two long pieces
and asks how much. The clerk confused by the strange lady
stats a few copper. Z'leyra pays and asks if she can cut
the wood with their saws. He laughs saying a little lady -
if he says that once more she'll slap him - should not get
near dangerous tools. Best to have her husband do it.
Z'leyra is tempted to buy the saw space but would not
want to pay this snob any more coin he doesn't deserve. So
she leaves to her manor to try to cut it.
It takes a few hours to cut the wood as she already knows
wood working skills. At the end she ends up with two
wand length pieces in case one fails. But she'll have
to finish up next weekend.
[Time: 9:54 am]
As Z'leyra is exploring lumber yards she hears a scream
from a house. Riding close a woman says her husband is
dying. Z'leyra dismounts and rushes inside. Z'leyra finds
the man but no signs of injury. She rolls him over and
sees two bite marks on his neck. She has seen such like
from Count Ezam the vampire killed by Chion. She looks up
and around as its daylight he could still be in the house.
Then she sees the curtains blowing and rushes to the open
window. She barely spots a small thing that looks like
a bat winging away. She yells for Corona to kill the
thing if he can. Then rushes to help to the man. Z'leyra
notices blood still on his neck and this is a good sign. He
hasn't been fully drained so he can be not turned yet. Maybe
the woman came home and found the vampire? She tells her
what he needs like juices and time to recover. If he continues
to be weak he could try to get a blood transfusion but he should
recover. She then rushes outside to look for Corona. He is
on the roof grooming. But when asked he says he didn't hear
her yell and was chasing a dog that was chasing a small boy.
So the vampire must've escaped.
[Febris 12th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 1:23 am]
Z'leyra is finishing up reading in her study losing
track of time when she sees a form walk the hall. She
runs after it and finds the form moving through the kitchen.
Z'leyra speaks to it but it seems to ignore her. Then
Z'leyra realizes this thing is a ghost based on its appearance
and cold in the usually warm manor. She watches as it passes
through the kitchen wall and disappear. She looks out
the window but does not see it again. She wonders if the
previous manor owner was that ghost or another ghost?
[Time: 3:24 pm]
Z'leyra is taking a break from the school outside and
notices a old man walking on the road some 500 or so
feet away. The man in robes is walking with a large staff
like hers or maybe just a walking staff. She notices the
man is eyeing her but can't read his expression at this
distance well. She considers going to talk to this man
who seems to be eyeing this place. She pops her head inside
to her student she'll be stepping away. But when she
turns around the man is gone. No where to be seen. She
later hears some time later from Mae of a similar encounter
that old man who looked like him helped her in a park. Z'leyra
wonders if her reputation is getting higher for the good or
for the bad.
That day at the school she has only 3 visitors but a young
girl is bought in with her merchant father. It seems she
her leg has been infected by a cut. Z'leyra treats the
wound and is forced to do healing magic on her.
[Febris 13th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
The school only has 9 visitors today mostly only needing
first aid and tips on health. But mid afternoon a man
walks in with a nasty snake bite. Which confuses her as
snakes in winter are rare. But the man says it was one
of his own snakes. She mixes a potion to cure the poison
and then does healing magic.
[Febris 14th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra casts a Cure Age spell today. She hopes the spell
works as it is impossible to know if it does.
[Febris 15th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra meets with a knight that was interested in her magical
buckler. She has had 3 others interested but once she
mentions the price at 90 gold they become aloof and avoid any
more contact. She explains to the young knight that it is twice
as strong as a normal buckler. It is also half the weight of
a normal buckler. The knight examines it and admires its quality.
But he tries haggle it down. His best bid is only 55 gold and
some silver. But Z'leyra decides there may be better offers
so says no thanks at this time.
[Febris 16th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra's weekend starts again and she works on her
new wand. She carves it with some artistic flair. It
will take her 2 days to complete both - backup included
in case first fails.
Z'leyra casts Orient Self, Purification which fails and
then Knowledge to gain more Restoration knowledge.
She then casts Mana Shield, Mana Sense, Mana Reading and a
Balance Speed spells.
[Febris 17th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 9:16 pm]
Z'leyra is interrupted by the steward requesting a
person to meet her. In the parlor she sees a young girl
in her 20s sitting with timid body movements. She
explains that she needs help that she ran away from
a old boyfriend and asks to stay here the night. He
is a bit violent. Z'leyra is unsure on this as why
would one night help her? Boyfriend could just find
her tomorrow. The girl explains that she will head to
her place in morning and pack up. She'll get a wagon to
take her to a town in the east where her family is. This
seems acceptable so gives her a room. But to make things
secure she asks a guard to stand in the hallway just
in case the girl is faking it. In the morning the guard
offers to talk her to her place to help pack up. Z'leyra
agrees and they depart in the morning.
[Febris 18th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 5:14 am]
Z'leyra is up early due to the fireplace needing wood.
Technically the steward is off duty so doesn't ask him
to get wood. She goes outside to get some wood and
feels the hairs on the back of her neck rise. She
looks into the darkness. She spots nothing then she
spots a flitter to the side. She watches and faint
light from a quarter moon shows a form. Without any
armor or gear she watches the form. It seems to just
be sitting on the edge of her property in a tree. As
she stares it seems familiar. Almost looking like
Mae? Is Mae visiting? But the hair is golden not
red. But she spots tiny wings. Z'leyra drops the wood
ready to dash inside to get her gear. Then she spots
another form in another tree. There are 2 now? They
are just watching the house. Z'leyra heads inside to
get her armor and weapons. But as she exits the succubus
are gone. She warns the guards to be alert. But
as sunrise approaches she finds no attackers. Were
they watching her place based on the attack a couple
months ago with Arawn?
[Time: 11:33 am]
Z'leyra has finished carving her wand. Before she
enchants it she decides to fly with Corona over the
area. As they fly she spots a single camel trying to
graze on a nearby hill. A camel? In this area? She
figures he must've escaped some market.
That night Z'leyra enchants with a Shamanic trance the
wand and then makes a mana battery out of it. She hopes
it worked.
[Febris 19th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 5:$0 pm]
Z'leyra tries to find a gambling hall to carouse with
some nobles if she can find any but it seems most clubs
are private and hard to get into. She decides to enter
a tavern and get some warm tea due to the extreme cold of
the evening. Inside she finds a man drinking ale and
they talk at the bar. Seems he is on a quest to find some
item for his love who needs said item so he'd marry him.
The adventurer doesn't say what item just that it is a
huge and difficult quest.
[Febris 21st, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Today at the school there is only 1 single patient
who needs first aid. Since the snow and ice is causing
travel issues many just don't want to came in. But around
3pm or so 3 do enter. They show signs of frost bite and
it seems they fell into a sink hole and had to escape before
they died. They lost 2 others in the escape. Sadly
Z'leyra is forced to cut off 3 fingers of one man who
has too much signs of damage and no matter even regeneration
could help him. Z'leyra and the student helps to do
some first aid and Z'leyra does healing magic.
[Time: 8:11 pm]
After the sudden surge of patients who are still being
watched in the school until tomorrow - Z'leyra rides
home to her manor. As she rides 6 men emerge from the
bushes and surround her. Two are carrying short bows.
They aim at Z'leyra and demand to relieve her of her
coin and gear.
Six verus 1. Corona flew home due to the cold affecting
him too badly. A fair fight even for Z'leyra who has her
full gear on. She whispers to her horse to run when she
dismounts and slowly dismounts. She pretends to draw
out her money pouch and taps the horse to flee. It
rushes off and this distracts the bandits to miss
her drawing her sword.
She releases a fire dart from her helmet and fries
one of the bowmen. Then charges the other with
her sword. The bowmen fires a arrow and impacts on
her armor but bounces off. She slices the guard from
left to right in his chest killing the bandit.
Now 4 to 1 she turns to see the others charge. Three
of the bandits hit but her armor protects against the
blows.
She stabs another bandit killing him.
One bandit hits with his sword but doesn't penetrate her
armor. But one bandit does hit with his sword and impales
deep into her left ribs doing 4 points of damage.
Z'leyra fails to hit one of the 3 bandits.
One of the bandits hits but fails to penetrate armor.
Z'leyra stabs another bandit in the side doing the damage
to kill the man.
At this point the last 2 bandits decide to leave
having lost half their party. They run as fast as
they can. Z'leyra considers frying one or two. But
while defending herself is legal. Firing on a fleeing
enemy might be considered murder.
Her horse returns and she does a side trip to report
the incident to a barracks. Almost 45 minutes they
finally release her to head home.
[Febris 23rd, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra heads to town not teaching these next 3 days.
She spends some time shopping for a tailor that can teach
her the skill. She already had some previous experience but
needs to complete that training. She finds a tailor and
he agrees (the 4th one that day to actually agree). The
tailor brings a book with pictures to help teach.
[Febris 24th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 10:10 pm]
Z'leyra was invited by the merchant to his club.
The same merchant who saved his daughter recently.
There she finds some low level nobles of knight and
land owner level. She carouses but it seems no one
needs any particular items. The merchant quietly says
that they just don't trust her. Once word gets out maybe
things will improve.
As Z'leyra exits to get her horse she enters the alley
and notices a man being accosted by a flying beast. It
looks like a terrestial demon? The demon is trying to claw
at the man as the man lies in a fetal position behind a
large crate. Z'leyra yells out and the demon looks
up. It flies toward her eager for things to hurt.
Z'leyra activates her helmet and releases a fire dart
that flies the demon to ash before it makes 3 feet closer.
She helps the man up and realizes its a son of a Baron
who has a barony far to the south on the edge of Farseeker's
fort territory. The son is so grateful he promises that
he'll try to see what his father needs for items.
Z'leyra casts another Cure Age spell today.
[Febris 25th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra finally learns the clothier skill but asks the
tailor to remain to help her making uniforms with the
skill. The tailor sketches out designs after several
denied sets and they being to work on a rough uniform.
By the end of the afternoon Z'leyra has enough idea how
to proceed.
Once Z'leyra explains her intentions the teacher explains it
will take more time than though. She'd become a Weaver this
weekend but tailor and designer has to be learned next. So
this will take a few more weeks.
[Febris 27th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 1:33 pm]
At the school the last 2 days have been dismal with no
visitors. But Z'leyra notices a single mule trying to
graze outside in the snow. He has a pack so it must've
escaped its owner. It seems content and she decides
not to bother it.
[Febris 28th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra casts Orient Self, Purification and a Knowledge spell
to gain more Restoration info. She then casts a Mana Shield,
Mana sensing spell which fails, Mana reading and a Balance
Speed spell.
[Marqi 2nd-4th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra spends 3 more days working with her clothier teacher
to become a designer.
[Marqi 6th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 5:41 am]
Z'leyra casts a Cure Age spell.
Z'leyra exits the outhouse on a cold night and hears flapping
noises. She looks up and sees the white of Corona's skin against
the inky black of night. He is dodging and weaving for
some reason.
Then Z'leyra notices a dozen or so flying things around him
trying to attack. A flash is seen and a blast form Corona's
eyes as he tries to take one down but misses. There are just too
many.
Suddenly 5 of the Vampire Bats latch on and begin
to drink blood. One attaches directly behind his
neck and the eagle screeches in pain. Almost immediately
half of his blood is drunk. Corona begins to waver and
falter.
Z'leyra realizes he must've distracted the bats to
save her. But in doing so she could lose yet a second
eagle and a very special one.
In the span of just 4 seconds it all comes to pass.
Z'leyra considers flying up and helping but they'd
swarm her. But as Corona sees his death coming he
realizes what he has to do. He stops.
The other 9 vampire bats attach easily and Z'leyra
yells out and begins to remove clothing so she can
change. But with 14 vampire bats attached they drink
fat like river piranha taking a cow apart in seconds.
Corona falls. The bats knowing death has come release
and fly away with sated bellies.
Z'leyra sees Corona fall and leaps into action to
move to try to catch him. With agile hands she catches
the limp bird. She finds him dead and a lump in her
chest. Clearly drained of blood no magic can help to
fix this. If only Arawn was here. A priest might be
able to help by regrowth or regenerating which she does
not know. Then she half naked remembers a priest in
her survey of local healers. He has to know of these
spells. Without hesitation and without wanting to
waste time she images the place in her mind and
casts a teleport spot.
She appears on the street and at least it is so early
that no one is here. She runs to the priest's door
which Arawn talked about once. What was his name? She
bangs on the door. A suprised priest in old night robes
appears a bit upset at the early call. Then he sees a
topless Z'leyra and the bird. Z'leyra pleads for help.
The priest agrees though skeptical. He explains he and
she must coordinate spells together. He must recall that
she is also a healer. She must heal his body while he
heals his soul and life force as well as try to regenerate
the eagle's blood.
Both begin to cast the spells. Gestures and magical
blessings with prayers. At the end Z'leyra sees his
bite wounds close up but there is no movement. The
priest looks to her that she must restart his heart.
But doing so on a bird? She concentrates as she traces
the ribs and tries to recall herself being a bird and
where the parts are inside. Then she begins chest
compressions. By now 3 minutes have passes since brain
death.
There is always resurrection if she can find Chion or
Cetric. But as Z'leyra gives the breath of life to
Corona suddenly a blast shoots out and hits the ceiling.
the priest jumps back startled. Corona begins to stir
and confused where he is he realizes he is inside a place
now and looks around. Z'leyra asks questions and the
bird seems all there so far. But he reports he is still weak.
Which may take time.
Z'leyra apologizes for the ceiling damage and says she
will pay for damage and services. She thanks the priest
and starts to leave. But the priest tells her to wait.
Then comes out with a blanket. At least to wear around
her naked top half.
Z'leyra carries Corona back home.
[Marqi 8th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
At the school the week has been slow up till today. With only
5 patients the last 2 days. Today they see 10 with 5 of those
needing magical healings.
[Time: 3:56 pm]
Z'leyra is taking a break from the school outside to
relax. In the distance a mile or two she notices a large
group maybe 80=100 men at a farm. They are building a
barn. She is amazed how farmer community works so fast
to rebuild such things. That group could be done with
a new barn in half a day.
[Time: 6:42 pm]
Z'leyra is heading home when she spots 1 pure snow white cat
and a brown cat chasing each other. The brown seems to be
the male and the white cat seems to not want any love tonight.
As she rides away she hears the howl of a cat. Either the
brown cat won his quarry or the white cat hurt him badly.
[Marqi 9th-11th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Z'leyra spends these 3 days learning under the Clothier
teacher.
A merchant visits Z'leyra at her manor tonight and
asks to see the magical buckler. She met with the merchant
at a social club 2 days ago. Seems he wants to impress
a Baron for his son who is in the military. OF course the
Baron happens to own 4 merchant ships the merchant wants to
deal with doing trade contracts. Z'leyra rather meet with
the Baron but a low level merchant will have to do. The
merchant offers 90 gold. He gives her the voucher for
the money lender to get her gold. The next day the
moneylender confirms it and she drops the buckler at the
merchant's fine glass shop.
[Time: 1:10 pm]
A patient reports there are sheep outside. Z'leyra checks
and sure enough a small herd. A ram and 3 females and 10
lambs. They are on the edge of her property. The patients
threatens to get one for dinner but Z'leyra reminds him that
poaching is against the law. They must be escaped animals
from a nearby farm. She is sure a shephard will be around to
fetch them soon enough.
[Marqi 10th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 10:19 pm]
Z'leyra is in her office when she hears laughing faintly
from the front gate. She goes to the window and notices
the guards laughing at a single cattle. She shakes her
head why does she attract all these escaped wild animals?
[Marqi 11th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 4:09 pm]
Heading home from a social club, Z'leyra notices a ram and
a female sheep on the street grazing. She wonders if this
is part of the herd she saw the other day.
[Marqi 12th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
Another 4 days at the school waiting for patients. While
the entire week the school only sees 14 visitors. Today
is the only day that magical healing is done. It is done
on two patients.
Today Z'leyra casts Orient Self, Purification and a
Knowledge spell to gain Restoration. She then casts Mana
Shield, mana sense, mana reading and a Balance Speed spell.
[Marqi 16th-18th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
This is the last 3 days Z'leyra learns under the clothier
teacher. Hopefully next weekend she can work on her new
uniforms for her guards unless some wild new adventure comes
up in its place.
Z'leyra casts another Cure Age spell.
[Marqi 17th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 7:10 pm]
Z'leyra is riding back from Kaylle's library when she spots
a silver-gray fox running down a alley. The color is
quite strange but a fox in a city is not so much. Since
she is late for dinner she heads home. Later she hears
some poor homeless man was found dead near those streets.
She later learns from Mae weeks later that fox may have been
what is called a Kimiho.
[Marqi 18th, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 12:47 pm]
Behind the clothier's teacher's shop are light woods. There
outside in the back eating her lunch she sees a boar rush out
of the bush toward her. It must smell her food. She with
ease stands and avoids the tusked animal. But as she swings
the staff she hits it in the back. It yelps in pain and
then decides enough is enough and flees back into the bushes.
[Marqi 22nd, 1636TH - sivas, Marentia]
[Time: 5:04 pm]
It is almost closing time for Z'leyra at the school.
It has been a slow week. In the last 3 days there have
only been 5 patients and none needed magical healing.
She even dreams of some wild adventure soon. But as she
is storing up supplies she notices cats outside. There
is an adult female and 3 kittens. Since she is a bit bored
she decides to bring them inside for a check up.
Z'leyra spends some time flying with Corona. After his
death - or maybe near death - the bird has rested and
recovered. As far as Z'leyra can tell there is no change
to the eagle. She asks him what he thinks of a time travel
spell to go back and maybe redo a few things or use the
time for other things.
Assuming no big adventure pops up soon Z'leyra plans to
make and enchant uniforms, sheaths, armor and weapons for
the manor guards. This will take time and at this point ran
out of time doing so. There is always next week.
Corona tilts his head and a glint in his eye shows that
perplexed look he always does. Sometimes it is confusion
or hesitation. But today Corona explains time travel is very
dangerous. He points to warning his father and that the
event still occurred but in a different way. Z'leyra sits back
a bit shocked. How could the eagle know this since the entire
party's minds were changed. Only Z'leyra and the guardian knew
of the change in history. If Corona could grin he would but
simply explains he is aware at various levels. He does not
explain details. He simply states it is not time for that. Maybe
later. He explains that you go back in time you better have
a good reason. That each ripple created after will not affect
everything else. In the end it is your decision. But be prepared
for any consequences it may cause. Even going back 2 minutes to
redo a combat to good results could mean disaster. What if
that saved man becomes dictator and the bad men killed were
actually on the brink of a great medical cure? Lady Varo
explained that the Fates should be accepted not contorted.
That night she sits in her office staring at the fireplace
considering her future. Her school has started but she needs
income. She has had 9 different times socializing with
petty nobles. The highest she has met was a count. Though
she tried not one request to make items for them was made.
Her steward did warn it may take time. She needs to talk to
Unali to see how easily she can smooze with the elite
at Maren City and the palace. Course having a friend like
Duke Aren does help. Maybe she can contact the Duke
and ask him if others have requests. Granted Sivas is not the
hot bed for rich and powerful other than the merchants. The
merchants are numerous here with shipping and trade. But the
true elite is in the north it seems. She will have to consider
a new strategy.
She considers her last 2 months of income from selling
her buckler at 90 gold as well as her 5 purses. She was
asking 25 gold for each purse. But could've gotten 36
gold. For her purses she had 12 chances at the market to
sell them. She is able to sell each one for 28.8, 26,
25.2 each a slight discount. But for 2 she is able to
get a nice profit at 34 and a poor lady who was willing
to pay 55.6 gold. For 5 purses she did well making 169
gold. So 250 gold should be enough for some more buildings
for sure.

Next Update....Next ...
GM: My alignment is off. Wow. Just noticed that. Darn.
Z's IBT took a full 2 weeks. Mainly due to starting
late and losing around 48 hours of lost possible work
time. But its out now. :) Next is Fremea's when
Tobie sends his. Sadly he started it but had a pc crash
so lost all what he did. So having to doit all over.
So that may delay things. But I need to work on Z'ls
sheet this week and that'll take 2-3 days. Sadly this
is my LAST 3 day week. Today was my only Saturday and
i spent it not at a rpg game sessoin as hoped but doing
the IBT final edits. I had hoped to be far more ahead by
now but sadly not. I can only do so much though with
delays. Sadly the last 4 months I've not had time for
any vacation since I've been doing IBT. Oh well. Just
m luck. :) Monday is my last day off this year until
September 2018. So i have 8 months of 5 day weeks.
So we'll be going back to the normal Monday/Friday
schedules. Assuming i have time to do Friday updates.
So we'll see if can start 1/1. But with only 5 days
off and work nights to do what typically taking 2 weeks
chances...sigh. I just am OC I like round easy numbers
like 1/1. :) But oh well. I can only do so much.
So hopefully next month we'll start adventure.
