(From what I understood there hadn't been a tribunal at which we were deemed inquorate. If we fell inquorate between tribunals it was a very vague thing, but being opportunistic other covenants placed their own bids on the vis sources we had registered for and began claiming them. I figured we'd argue that because we were never deemed inquorate at a tribunal then the vis source harvesting rights were never relinquished by our covenant. I don't know that our covenant was actually ever provably below quorum. Liliana has always been accounted for, Lamentus was only lost to us this year and Maribus passed away only after multiple members had fully joined. This post seems particularly useful towards whether we ever fell below the 3-magi minimum. Additionally Justinius, Aislynn and Leona simply haven't been accounted for - that does not mean they are no longer members of the covenant. I don't know if there is some clause on how long a magus must be missing before they're no longer deemed a member of a covenant, but that could be problematic. I'm no Code(OfHermes)Monkey.)
Just confirming- Stonehenge did not make quorum in 1215, nor in 1207. The last Tribunal was almost two score past.
Which also means those of you native to this Tribunal have never been formally presented as magi 
umm...eep?
I -think- Attravere was presented at Harco, but I'm not sure on that.
((Are you referring to Phessalia marrying the King of Winter and depriving us of the Winter King's Gift, or am I overlooking one of the threads somewhere?))
Ah. I thought I remembered reading something like that, but couldn't find it when I went to find it again. At least we (hopefully) don't have to deal with the Skinless again. That would suck. Wonder how Cygna's spont Creo Salis is?
I've never liked Phessalia.
Just before dawn, there is a deep rumbling in the earth. Myrddin's Well becomes encased in ice, and a horde of small impish creatures surges into the clearing, hissing and snarling.
Everyone has two rounds to get out of the clearing before they're trampled by the stampede.
Um...roll to disbelieve? No? Okay.
Cygna will very quickly look around for something up above the ground to get her up away from them. ((Does she know what they are? Int 4 + Infernal Lore 1 = 5 + die roll.))
If she sees something close, she will sing a Spontaneous Personal-range version of Gift of the Frog's Legs; the spell is Level 15 for Touch-range, so dropping it to Personal should make it a Level 10. Her CT is Re 5 + Co 5 + Int 4 = (14 + Aura + die roll) ÷ 2.
If not, she will sing a Spontaneous ReCo to lift her up and able to slowly move around. If I'm reading the spell guidelines right, that should be Base 5 ("Move a target slowly in any direction you please, even if the target is unsupported"), R: Personal, D: Concentration (+1), T: Individual, for a target spell level of 10. Her CT is Re 5 + Co 5 + Int 4 = (14 + Aura + die roll) ÷ 2.
What's the slope of the roof on the cottage, and how far away is it?
Alternatively, how far are we from the well?
Cygna can choose to disbelieve the horde's existence if you wish. I wouldn't recomment it though 
There are a few trees at the edge of the glade with overhanging boughs, but Cygna knows she isn't athletic enough that jump-n-catch would be a bad idea.
She barely misses the mark for Rise of the Feathery Body; a Confidence point would make the difference.
The cottage is cuboid, so the roof is flat. You camped ostensibly out of earshot (considering that you discussed your plans aloud), so let's call it roughly 200 feet.
The well is about 20 feet closer than the cottage.
And the direction the horde is coming from?
The oracular d4 says "East."
Consider it spent...after all, she has just now gotten back on the path to redemption, both for herself and hopefully Adorjan (if that's possible), she would hate to think that the Lord would call her to judgement so soon.
Also, the Caltrop Oracle places the well and cottage west of your camp, if it matters.
Sure. Sophronia will run towards the cottage this round, next round she should be close enough to spontaneously cast, spontaneously, Wizard's Leap to the top of the cottage.
CT of Rego 10+3 +Corpus 5 +Int 2 +Aura + Die roll= 20 +aura +die, and then divide by two. Requisites of Herbam and Animal are 5, no metal or stone on her person. Wizard's Leap is a 15th level spell.
Oh hell, arithmetic.
So, Wizard's Leap has a range of 50 paces, or 150 feet, which means you're trying to run 50 feet in one round (6 seconds). That seems pretty fast--
(50/6)*(3600/5280)=5.7mph. That seems pretty fast to me-- especially for someone with 0 Athletics, -3 Str and -2 Qik.
Cannot find any EFs for Athletics checks, so in lieu of any other guidelines I'll use Mark Lawford's.
Sophronia takes off as fast as she can, and moves (18-2)*3 feet before attempting to Leap onto the top of the cottage. She rolls a 5 for a CT of 27, which is barely enough to cast the spell if she spends a Confidence point. Even if she does, however, she cannot quite make it as far as she intends, and finds herself about a pace short of the cottage's roof, where she tumbles to the ground. (She would not know that she's barely out of range until after she casts the spell; I leave it up to you to spend the Confidence and end up on the ground outside the cottage, or keep the Confidence and be 1/4 of the way from your camp and the cottage.)
Initiatives:
Horde: 11
Cygna and Corvus: 9
?: 6
Desiderius: 3
Sophronia: 2
Attravere: 1
Phessalia: 0 (not a botch)
(Cygna and Corvus both rolled 8s and both have +1 Qik; PC-tag will break a tie, in case it matters.)
I'll concede the athletics and quickness, but I'm 265 lbs and can get to 7 or 8 jog mph regularly. My fast walking speed approaches 4.8 mph on my treadmill. Some of that is stride, granted.
If she's running away from the horde, she'd run to a point where she could reasonably estimate that she's close enough, and err on the side of getting closer to the cottage, since that is immediately opposite of the horde.
