* Ix's IBT
[Decalis 4th 1635TH]
[Kll'maun forest]
Torment. This is what her own people would do to her. For
two decades they tormented her, and the abuse seemed to have no
end in sight. Many consider her a burden and a nuisance and
turn her away for even the simplest requests. Others just
ignore her. Those who actually speak to her treat her like a
child. While the others had always treated her with an air of
caution in her youth, she had at least been treated somewhat
fairly. Everything changed after the incident with the older
shaman when she was still a child. This treatment wasn't
always so blatant, but then it got exponentially worse after
her mother died. She could never understand why she was to
blame for the old shamanâ's actions.
She counts herself lucky to have even the slightest bit of
knowledge, or else she would just be a homeless idiot. Ix
glances back towards the village and pulls the leathers around
her body as a chilled breeze breaks through the trees. It was
going to be another cold and lonely winter, and yet another
winter where she would have to tighten her belt. She turns and
pets her beloved companion Zol'zim. The wolf purrs from the
affection and sniffs the air.
The thought of running away crosses her mind again. This
would be the 3rd or 4th time in the last few years the
temptation grabbed her. However the voice of reason always won
out. The forests were large and alone, with no other tribes or
cities for hundreds of miles. It was just far too big a risk to
take, not just for herself, but for Zol'zim as well. She also
had his well-being and safety to consider.
Even if she did succumb to the temptation to run away from it
all, she doubts anyone would actually come looking for her. As
far as she was concerned, due to her tribe's treatment of he
she would not be missed. Although that isn't to say the
entire tribe hates her. The young ones, before they learn the
hate, actually like Ix. She kneels and hugs Zol'zim and
nuzzles into the wolf's soft fur. She tells him that one
day she will prove herself. Folks just fear what they don't
understand, and because of that, they fear her, and that fear
leads to hate. Ix knows this all too well as she wipes her eyes
from the dust.
Ix glances up to see what time it might be. Her best guess
was early morning, but the canopy of trees makes it too dark to
tell for certain. She has decided to change herself without the
help of her tribe. If she could only get stronger, she'd show
them that she wasn't useless.
Ix stands at her full height of 5 foot 2 inches. Her slender
form moves like a dancer with an audience. Her graceful arms,
legs, and hands are rhythmic to see. She brushes back her raven
colored hair. Most in her tribe keep their hair short, some
even go completely bald, but she keeps her hair just under her
shoulder blades. It was yet another thing to annoy the others.
Keeping her hair long was one of the ways she rebelled against
them and physically announced her status as an outsider in her
own tribe.
Her skin is slightly tanned with a clear complexion. Brushing
back her hair exposed one of her pointed ears that she usually
kept covered. She thought no one else had them and figured it
was one of the reasons the others distrusted her. She had never
met anyone else with pointed ears. No one ever told her that
pointed ears were something other races had. The breeze shifts
the beads and feathers adorning her hair. She pulls her cloak
over her shoulders to block out the cold. Barely at a hundred
pounds, she looks like she would float away if the breeze got
any stronger.
She plans to do what the warriors do to improve her strength,
stamina, dexterity and agility. By doing the exercises, tasks,
endurance actions and such she hopes to get better. It may
take a month but she has dedicated her will to do so.
Ix will work on her body in late afternoon and evening up till
time for bed. She plans to do this secluded outside the tribe
so others don't torment her. The name calling. The slurs.
The ugly gestures is just too much for any sane person.
f
But for the morning and early afternoon she will try to self
teach her combat skills. It was even a miracle she was taught
some by a couple elders. The bare bones f shamanism and some
other skills. Maybe it was pity or they just wanted a slave to
do grunt shamanic work?
She decides to practice spear fighting for the next week.
This will also help with her body training. Asking for a teacher
her in the village would be just out right harmful. They might
just button her down from this rebellious nature. But she is
lucky the grand son of the tribal chief who is only 10 has been
learning the spear. Boys start such things quite early here.
The boy half her age agrees to help teach her a bit in privacy.
For thn next 4 days she does her strength building exercises
at the evening. Sure she is exhausted but she has to prove
to the others - and herself - she is worthy.
[Time: 3:18 pm]
The boy, Culmar and Ix run through the forest as the try
to attack and evade each other with spears. Suddenly Culmar
yells and falls to his knees. He screams pointing. Ix gets
close to check what is going on. Culmar points to the black
serpent which is now rising out of a hole. It stands 5 feet
tall and getting longer. It just tried to spit some glob of
poison at Culmar but misses.
The wolf growls and begins to move in front of XI. But
Ix grabs Culmar and tells him to run. Fighting a Dae'ta
Koti is dangerous as a skilled warrior. But for her it
might be suicide. She may hate the chief at times but
his grandson is innocent.
Zol Zim runs alongside as they move through the forest.
The black serpent now 18 feet long begins to slither toward
them but they are just too fast. After 15 or 20 feet it
gives up. The sun is too bright and it slithers back to
his hole to sleep till night.
[Decalis 5th 1635TH] - [Kll'maun forest]
[Time: 6:27 am]
Ix wakes up and walks outside in the morning chill. She
considers her future and hears rustling in the distance. But
she knows those noises. Listening she realizes from the sounds
these are deer. Based on the noises 1 is male and the rest
which sounds like 8 other females. A blur of them move past
fast as they migrate through the forest. Ix just hopes the
hunters don't see or they'll be hunted.
[Time: 2:11 pm]
Ix is lifting heavy tree limbs for strength toning
when she hears others coming. Even in her private areas
a few miles away from the village she can't get peace. She
ducks and listens. The voices become focused and she
realized its the tribal shaman with others. He is teaching
them about plants again. Her heart aches as she wishes
she could be part. But they say they are fast paced and
she may not be able to keep up. She waits for them to
move onward.
Ix continues her spell practice doing 3 Orient Self and
3 communicates. Two each work while 2 each fail.
[Decalis 7th 1635TH] - [Kll'maun forest]
The 4th day of strength training with spear makes her
sore. Ix will have to get used to this regiment.
[Decalis 8th 1635TH] - [Kll'maun forest]
Ix takes a break from body training and works with Culmar
on the spear.
[Decalis 9th 1635TH] - [Kll'maun forest]
IX continues another 4 days of strength training as well
as spear practice.
[Decalis 9th 1635TH] - [Kll'maun forest]
[Time: 9:01 am]
Ix and Zol Zim are walking in the forest after 3 boys chased
her to torment her. Angry for breaking her spear practice
she tries to calm down. Suddenly Zol Zim begins to whimper.
Ix tries to find out why but the wolf seems confused or reluctant.
Suddenly the wolf bolts forward leaping over small logs and
bushes. Ix reaches for her cane and tries to pursue the
wolf yelling at him to stop.
Ix loses the elusive wolf and rounds a thick tree.
She steps forward just as she hears barking from the
wolf.. She takes a step then the second as she turns to
orient herself to the wolf's noise. He is to her right
now. But as she takes the 3rd step a bolt of energy like
electricity hits her entire body. Suddenly she feels her
small frame pulled forward quickly.
The wolf leaps forward to help but watches as she hits her
head on a low hanging limb. The blow is severe and she falls
limp.
[Time: 12:11 pm]
Ix opens her eyes and feels her head ache. She reaches
up to her head to find a lump.
Suddenly she hears a strange male voice speaking words she
has no way understanding. Ix sits up and tries to hear for
Zol Zim.
The man waves a hand and speaks a few words. Then he
says, "my god you are blind!"
Ix look to the voice and glares.
"Your eyes...they are pure white."
Ix shrugs and moves to the side of the bed. Bed?
Wait. She is in a home of some sort. She asks where
she is at. The man looks confused, "the province is
called Ba'ru."
Ba-s what? She has never heard of such a place. She
asks where her wolf is. "He is outside...he almost
ripped my head off bef-" Then his words go back to that
strange language.
Instinctively she raises her hands and begins to sign.
The man tries to study her hands. Such a arcane language.
But his master taught him the basics. 'Speak old way' Was
the gist of her language. HE nods and figures the spell
stopped. Instinctively he signs 'what language do you speak?'
'Kll'maun' Ix explains with her hands.
Kll'maun? The man looks confused. But that is probably
a thousand miles to the north east! What is this short
girl doing here? Then his second shock hits him. Wait.
How die she read his hands?
Ix stands and grabs her cane. The man wonders why
she needs a cane? Confused he recasts his communicate
spell. he asks her to explain.
Ix glances around this man is not from her tribe.
He seemed to have helped her? Can he be trusted?
Then she smells the soup on the table and moves toward
it. He offers her some and they sit at the table
With several more communicate castings Ix explains
her background..
"Amazing...simply amazing. I do not understand why
you are here." Then Ix has an idea. She asks to be
taken to where she was found.
Exiting the house Zol Zim rushes up to nozzle Ix.
She smells something odd in the air. It almost smells
like salt? Could they be near a sea or ocean? Being
a land locked nation she has only heard of such places.
For another 15 minutes with cane in hand she is taken
to the spot. She kneels and inspects the area. The signs
are there with the grass, the leaves and broken bushes.
With her own lower world spell magic, which she has dared
not to use yet, she knows the signs of a portal. But she
did not detect it in the forest. Now she is in the hills.
The wolf may have tried to warn her but it was too late.
Ix quickly moves back and forth using her cane to try
to find the portal. To get back home.
She maybe tormented for being the blind useless girl
in the village but it is home. But after another ten minutes
she collapses to her knees. She begins to sob.
The man in his 50s comforts her. Can she ever return
home? She doesn't know how she went back but she ends
back at the home. It was all a blur. Time to slow down
as she realizes she will possibly not see any of her tribe
ever again.
"My name is Kaz Zervos. I live here a bit outside of
the capital city of Ba'ru. The city is maybe 4 miles
away. I like it here in the hills alone."
Ix mumbles her name as she demands to allow the wolf inside.
Kaz reluctantly agrees. "I like animals but if this one
bites he leaves!"
Ix upset exits and tells Zol Zim to stay. She needs
to get some air. What is going on. So far from home.
She glances up even the stars look different here. But
what can she do? Walk home? It would take months. No.
Maybe this is her chance to return home a better person.
One they can respect? She goes back to the cabin and
asks if she can stay.
Kaz signs back, 'sure. I am a loner here in the hills.
I'm not a city person. But you are welcome here a few days
until we can get you to the city.'
With her low sign skill she reads it as - 'yes. Alone
here. Person of city not. Good to stay until go to
city.' What is this city he is talking about? The largest
place she has seen in the forest is 200 people.
With a new stride in her spirit Ix continues her
strength training. Until she collapses in bed.
During this strange day while the odd man has cast a
spell to talk, Ix has also done the same. She casts 3
Orient Self spells and 3 communicates. /But two of the trance
spells fail while only one communicate spell worked.
[Decalis 10th, 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
The last day of spear training is completed. But Culmar
is no longer here. Kaz doesn't seem to know the spear. So
she has to practice alone while he stares.
[Time: 4:17 pm]
Ix, Kaz and Zol Zim are walking in the hills as Kaz
tries to explain the area nearby his cabin.
Suddenly from a tree nearby two things leap from the limbs
to the ground. A jump that seems 20 feet. It looks like 2
lizard like worm things 2.5 feet long pale white with 2 legs.
They belch this gray-white gas cloud each at Ix and Kaz.
Both begin to cough but do not seem to be affected.
The wolf leaps forward. He leaps at one of the strange lizards
but the lizard easily jumps up and away.
Kaz, "get the wolf away we need to leave!"
Confused by the words Ix gets the hint that these things
are nasty. She yells for the wolf to come. Ix then begins
to run. Zol Zim chases after her.
Kaz stays behind as the lizard's close in. He speaks
a few words and changes into a small horse. The lizard's
leap at him and breath but Kaz's magic defense seems to
hold the poison off.
Kaz turns and runs away in the other direction. Hoping
to lead the creatures away. When Ix realizes Kaz is not
behind she turns and scans for him. She only sees a small
horse being chased by the leaping creatures. These
things are leaping 15-20 feet in the air with their 2
tiny legs with ease. They breath their toxic gas but
the horse seems to weave and dodge.
Soon the lizard's tire and must figure their turf
is not in danger and give up. They leap away. Ix
loses sight of Kaz. But in the distance Kaz stops and
changes this time into a eagle and flies back. He
stops and grabs the clothes he had to leave behind or
was tore in his sudden shape change spell.
Landing near Ix he becomes human again. Ix stares
for the first time at a naked man. The man tries to
put his pants back on and explains. "Nasty things.
I believe they are called tatzlwurms. If they got
lucky we'd both be dead from their gas."
[Time: 7:12 pm]
Ix sits eating lunch and tries to learn about Kaz.
"Most call me a hermit. I dabbled in mining. Failed
there. I did this and that. Couldn't stand the amount
of people in the city. As you can see I know a bit of
magic...." He continues to talk about himself.
[Decalis 11th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Kaz watches Ix with her short sword shadow fighting.
How a blind girl can fight is amazing. Using sign
language he says, 'I do a bit of sword work. I can
teach you.'
Over the next week Kaz teaches Ix the short sword.
At first he holds back fear of not wanting to hurt
her. But this seems to make her more upset and he
figures she doesn't want pity. He gets tougher and
tougher each day.
For the other 8 hours a day she continues her strength
building work.
[Time: 10:12 pm]
Outside in the back of the cabin Ix is finishing up
her weight training when she notices 3 deer. One
is adult female with 2 younger ones. She watches as
they all watch her. Within a few minutes they scamper
off into the darkness.
[Decalis 12th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix runs for 2 miles up a dirt road. Kaz is weirded
out by a girl running. Maybe it is her pointy ears?
She explained how she can see but not see. But even
to his brain it is confusing.
Ix is on the road with Zol Zim as a group of wagons
pass by. It seems one wagon is carrying a shiny gray-black
box. Strangely dressed men and women riding on the wagons.
Then Ix notices one man in robes sitting aside the driver
of one wagon. His ears are pointed almost like hers. Then
she sees a small girl in a dress. The wind blows her hair
and for a split second Ix sees the girl's left ears which
looks exactly like hers!
Confused she begins to speak but the people don't understand
her language. They ride fast pass her. Even the man looked
at her and the wolf. He smiled at her and seemed to even not
be scared by the wolf. Ix watches as the wagons ride up the
road over the small hill.
Later on as Kaz trains her in sword play he explains. "That
sounds like the Kell funeral. I never knew the folks. They live
on that large spread a few miles up the road. I heard a funeral
was coming when I got supplies recently from town. Something
about he died far away. But he is not of my concern. Now
stand ready!" He speaks through his communicate spell.
Today Ix casts 3 Orient Self and 3 Communicate spells. But
sadly only 1 of the Orientation spells works the others fail.
[Decalis 15th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
[Time: 10:41 pm]
Ix is riding Zol Zim as she does sometimes. The wolf doesn't
mind carrying her for short periods. They have been looking
around for some plants for her own purposes.
Suddenly over the hill a massive being appears. It stands
about 18 feet tall weighing around 900 pounds. This giant
has eyes that glow like fire and hair that looks like it is
smoldering.
The giant sees Ix and draws a very long shiny sword.
Ix panics and tells Zol Zim to turn and run as fast he
can. The wolf does so as the giant runs after them.
Soon a gap of 70 feet separates the wolf and fire
giant. After 3 more minutes the giant seems to give
up and stops. Allowing the wolf and Ix to breath
and return to Kaz's cabin.
Today Ix tries 3 more Orient Self and 3 communicate
spells. She is improving as 2 trance spells and 2 communicate
spells work today.
[Decalis 16th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix has been staying close to the cabin this last few
days. As she trains with sword during day she doesn't
notice in afternoon Kaz sneak away somewhere. She
just doesn't see where he went. More importantly she
doesn't get interested as she works her strength up.
[Time: 6:18 pm]
At the dinner table both are eating some rabbit
stew with greens. Kaz sits back and grins. He signs
'I have something for you.' He reaches under the
table and brings out a cane.
Ix groans as she feels the wood. She already has
a cane! 'No. Stand up. Here point it this way.
Now hand here. Now this tiny depression. Hold it
down.'
Ix jumps as she hears a click and out from the lower
side pops a blade! She glances at Kaz. 'I figure
a cane combined with a short sword blade might be handy.'
Ix rushes to hug the 50ish, gray bearded man. For the
first time in her life this seems to be a true gift. Not
one for other's. She can't believe she is hugging a strange
old man that is a good almost 2 feet taller!
Realizing her emotions she pulls back and pretends it
is no big deal. She swipes the air with her cane-sword.
[Decalis 18th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix drinks something new and exciting to her. Kaz
calls it orange juice. As they eat breakfast she
realizes she has been here over a week. She wonders
if she has overstayed her welcome? She picks at her
food not wanting to ask.
With another Communicate spell cast, "I think soon we
should go to the city and find some help for you. That
is if you want" Ix shakes her head. The stories of this
large city sounds daunting. With thousands of people
in such a place it must be chaos. She signs if she can learn
the language first.
Kaz sits back and nods, "that makes sense. Sure I can
teach you Marentian. Ba'ru has its own dialect but the
accent is tough to get down. I believe most speak Marentian
here. Which I speak myself. My master taught me when
I came from Gom. I have a book around here on the language.
You can't read as well?" Ix shakes her head. "Well this
is a simple reader. We'll figure out a way."
Kaz goes to work for the next 12 days teaching Ix the
language. The reader only gives a simple alphabet and
allows Ix to form words with pictures. It isn't really
reading but more picture looking.
Ix casts 3 more Orient Self spells and 3 communicate
spells with 2 each passing.
[Decalis 19th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
[Time: 11:02 pm]
Kaz has gone to the city for something and Ix is
home alone with the wolf. She is on the couch
sleeping when the door bursts open. Two men rush
in and start looking for things to steal. Ix yells
for them to leave as the wolf walks toward them
growling. Both men draw short swords.
Both men laugh and figure she is just some young
girl looking small as she is. But they turn to the large
dog like thing. Ix grabs her cane-sword and activates
the short sword blade to show. She charges the first
man as the wolf also leaps.
She stabs the first man in the lower left torso doing
6 points of damage. The wolf leaps at the other man but
he dodges in time.
The first man swings at Ix and fails to hit. But
the second one does a slice on the wolf doing 6 points
of damage.
Ix stabs upward wanting to hit the first man in the
shoulder but instead the blade pierces the back of his
head doing 2 points of damage. The man collapses.
Zol Zim leaps and bites onto the second man's right
leg doing 6 points of damage.
The last man standing stabs at the wolf doing 2 more points
to his left shoulder.
Ix stabs at the man doing 3 points to his back.
The man turns and runs out the door. Zol Zim gives
chase into the darkness. Soon a yell is heard and a
thump. Grabbing a lantern Ix exits to find the man
dead
Kaz returns and says he is proud his place was
defended but she should be careful. The next morning
they decide to drag the bodies and bury them. No
need to tell the city guards. Too many questions.
[Decalis 20th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Today is the last of her strength training days. She has
spent 16 days on her physical strength. Tomorrow she will
start another 16 days or so on her stamina.
[Decalis 22nd 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix starts her regiment of stamina training. Kaz is not
much help but gives suggestions. But the old man, to her,
is not a physical person so prefers supervising.
Over the next 16 days Ix does things to boost her overall
staming. Tasks of long endurance running, long duration
acrobatics, long term standing on thin ledges and much more
are among the exercises.
[Decalis 24th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix finally picks up the language. It is very basic and
rough but it is far better than sign language or the
communicate spell. After several mishaps of sign language
she is grateful. Especially after the outhouse incident.
He had signed 'Keep outhouse door closed at all times.'
She read it as 'go to roof and fix.' Then later a couple
nights after Kaz runs screaming out of the outhouse when
a raccoon almost bites him in the butt for leaving the door
open.
Though the language learning is good she decides to
cast 3 more Orient Self and 3 Communicate spells again.
But only 1 each works.
[Decalis 26th, 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
[Time: 8:50 pm]
Ix has been exploring the north slope of the hill near the
cabin. Looking for interesting plants. It is well past sunset
and dark. Zol Zim is at the cabin as he is a bit under the
weather. Ix figures he is just being lazy.
Now only about a mile from the cabin a creature rushes toward
her. These silver furred creatures are short maybe like a fox.
They have green eyes and are at 2 feet long..
Ix hears the noise and steps aside as the creature lunges
at her. Ix uses her cane-sword and slices the creature in
the side doing 6 points. But as she does she yells hurting
herself for some odd reason.
The creature bites down on Ix's back but her leathers help
to protect her from harm. Ix stabs the creature in the left
leg almost cutting his leg off doing 9 points. But again the
short girl takes damage?
The creature now hurt and barely about to walk turns to try
to bite but fails to hit Ix's leg. Ix stabs the creature on
the back and does 6 points. The creature falls dead but
not before it seems to hurt Ix again?
Ix examines the creature and brings it to the cabin.
"I believe they are called Omari. They have this odd way
to hurt folks who hurt them. Let's get you treated."
Kaz tells her.
[Decalis 27th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Kaz stops teaching Marentian. Kaz believes she is now almost
fluent enough to get by.
While Ix is still not fluent with the language she decides
to continue her shamanic trance and communicate spell tries.
Three of the trance spells work but all 3 communicate spells
fail.
[Time: 4:07 pm]
Ix is outside enjoying the cold afternoon when she spots
2 adult falcons close by. They circle and seem to be hunting.
Ix watches them for some time.
[Decalis 28th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix asks to be trained by Kaz in the sword not the short
sword. So the old hermit spends a week showing her how
to use the longer sword.
[Decalis 29th 1635TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
[Time: 4:32 am]
Ix wakes up for the urge of relief. She grabs her cane
sword and heads to the outhouse. A groggy Zol Zim joins
her since doesn't want her out so late. Just as Ix closes
the door to outhouse after finishing up she is startled
by a large creature. The fireplace light from a cabin window
flickers faintly that almost looks like a deformed ogre? The
creature grunts as Zol Zim leaps at him. But the creature raises
a large arm and bats the wolf to the side.
Ix opens her cane sword and tries to stab the creature but fails.
The wolf tries to bite down on his leg but the tough hide of the
creature blocks any damage.
The creature swings his club at IX but she dodges it.
Ix stabs the creature in his left shoulder doing 5 points past
his tough hide. The wolf leaps at the creature's head but misses.
The creature swings his club and hits Ix right in the neck
doing a massive 4 points. Ix is thrown back against the outhouse
wall and loses her breath. She grasps for her throat and finds it
isn't crushed by badly damaged.
The wolf bites onto the creature's right arm but his tough hide
blocks any teeth from doing damage.
The creature swinngs at the wolf but Zol Zim is to agile and
the club fails to make contact.
Ix stunned tries to get her breath back. The wolf leaps and
knocks the creature down biting the creature's left shoulder
doing 14 points.
The creature gets back to his feet and swings wildly missing
the wolf.
Ix does a acrobat push with her legs and flips to her feet.
She stabs the creature in the right middle ribs doing 8 more
points to it. The wolf bites down on the creature's right arm
doing 8 points forcing it to drop the club.
Before Ix can raise her cane-sword a flame shoots from the
side and hits the creature. The creature is hit by the fire
dart and takes the remaining damage to kill it.
Kaz stands nearby and frowns. "I did say keep the door closed
they smell...ahh..the...stuff." The creature is inspected
closer and Kaz believe it is a Rock Troll.
Kaz goes inside to help treat Ix's minor wound.
[Janaq 2nd 1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix casts 3 more trance spells and 3 more communicate spells. All
work except 1 communicate spell which fails.
[Janaq 3rd 1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
[Time: 9:07 am]
Ix and Kaz are walking to a local farm who sells some of
their food to locals. When they encounter a group of 11 peasants
surrounding a covered wagon. They are agitated and yelling. Some
guy on the wagon who looks nicely dressed appears scared. The crowd
yells they want to get their money back for the fake cures and snake
oil remedies. Kaz suggests they move along as a small riot would
not do well for their morale.
[Decalis 30th, 1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix casts 3 more Orient Self and 3 more communicate spells.
Two of the trance spells work while only 1 of the communicate
spells pass.
[Janaq 4th, 1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Kaz finally says it is time to visit Ba'ru city. Ix is very
reluctant. It is one thing to visit the general store on the
city margins. But another to visit the city interior. Kaz
explains the wolf would not too welcome in the city so has
to stay at the cabin.
Once in the city Ix is amazed by the sights and sounds.
So many folks in one place! At a tavern they eat breakfast.
She is amazed to sit at a table and have food given to you with
out making it!
Kaz suggests she learn some dagger skill so she can better
fight at close range. Ix agrees and so both find a friend of
Kaz's. The young man is reluctant at teaching the blind girl
how to use a weapon. But when Ix does some acrobatic skills
avoiding furniture and such the man agrees.
Ix explains she has no money so Kaz shrugs and pays for the
services. Over the next week the man teaches Ix how to
fight better with the dagger.
Ix tries to practice her shape changing spell. But
this time she does it away from the wolf not to freak
him out. Two trance spells work but only 1 shape change spell
works.

[Time: 12:11 pm]
Ix is taking a break from dagger learning and relaxes at
a local park. She is still nervous and getting used to the
stares and laughs. But she has been used to that all her life
in the tribe.
A older man comes begging for coins. Kaz had warned about
these beggars before. She simply has no money so tells the
man to leave. The man continues to beg. Ix shows the blade
at the end of her cane and this makes the man laugh. Then
she swipes across his was it. His string belt now sliced makes his
pants fall down. The man stumbles trying to get his pants back
up and runs away.
[Janaq 6th, 1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Today is the last day of Ix's stamina attempts. She does
feel stronger overall. She hopes to try more later on.
[Janaq 7th, 1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix practices 3 more sets of shape changing spells. All the
trance and change spells work.
[Janaq 8th, 1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix starts the next few weeks training to improve her
dexterity. For the next 16 days she tries all the various
techniques to improve her dexterity.
Ix tries 3 more trance and communicate spells. But all 6
fail.
[Janaq 10th, 1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Ix practices her shape changing spell with 3 successful orient
and changing spells each.
[Janaq 11th, 1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]
Kaz finds a farm hand that is very good at hand to hand
fighting. Kaz offers some magic for the farm hand if he'll
teach Ix for a week in hand to hand. So the two wrestle,
grapple and fight for the next week during the day.
Ix tries to improve her healing spell. Even if it means
to cut a finger and letting it heal by magic. She casts 3
trance spells with 2 failures and 3 healing spells with only
one working.
