#1 is choice of season
Thanks, will update! What is the first cycle type, though?
Neleos can come with Andros on the Spring vis quest, his instruction will include practical demonstrations!
Mercurio is most welcome in the warm [strike]bosom[/strike] embrace of Sybilla!
Arduino´s adventure currently only has him + ??
Updated!
For #4 Arduino will bring Pazzino, shield grog Raimondo and archer Pietro. He talks about his sister's concerns about a Verditius's involvement with Oliverius and would be happy if the magus decided to join him.
Pazzino will partecipate to #9 and offers his help for #1.
Leaf and Aegis will ask to join the Spring quests. Aegis is looking for adventure and she's dragging Leaf out of the library
Anna's family will not be adventuring this year.
Updated!, Danaë welcomes them to 6 and 8. Andros's adventure's first cycle is social, so Leaf is not welcome to that one, though Aegis certainly can come.
We still have no consensus for adventure #1's season. If it's in Spring, Danaë can help, and Aegis and Leaf have stated they want to go on Spring adventures.
Updated! Will anyone else join #4's group (another shield grog, maybe)?
I'll follow your suggestion Ignes.Festivus.
Arduino recruits also Bonaro The Shield Captain and his forge companion Anvy. Oh, there's Pazzino too, I can't see him in the adventures recap.
Fixed and updated!
please note I did update mission 1 with the first cycle of legal/diplomatic, now if we can get the season and people assigned we will be ready to proceed.
legal/Diplomatic means Oliverius will definitely bow out. Mercurio will offer to help if it doesn't interrupt lab duties.
For #1 season: any objection to Spring? Going, going, ...
I'd like spring. Then Aegis and Leaf can join!
raccoonmask you refer to adventure #1 right? If so, Mercurio is welcome.
I didn't express any preference because my two magi are not involved, not even Pazzino has preferences in this regard.
Danaë also votes for Spring. Mercurio is not required by Gloriana to be available in Spring, so will update to Spring and add him to #1.

SPRING
7 ) Jinn quest - 2 cycles (social, investigation) challenge:6 Danaë
1st cycle social
1) Danaë Oo Suleiman Lore 4 + 2 Int + _: 1D10 = [10] = 10, welp, _: 1D10 = [1] = 1, no botch = 6, success
2) Danaë Etiquette 3 + Com 5 + _: 1D10 = [8] = 8 = 16, success
3) Danaë Intrigue 6 + Pre 5 + _: 1D10 = [5] = 5 = 16, success

Adventure lasts 8 days, provides 5 xp, 2 Confidence, 4 Rewards, + 5 Quest points:
•2 Co vis personal
•+2 rep OoS
•+1 rep amongst jinn
Danaë again flies to Baghdad in disguise. The lore of the sahirs there is vast, and she must make alliances and expand her fame if she hopes to learn more of their secrets. Her growing knowledge of the relationships and families of these rivals to the Order aids her in meeting the right people, a humble doctor and alchemist who nonetheless is widely respected. However, he is less well-versed in political intrigue, and he welcomes the delightful and mysterious and impeccably well-mannered Danaë and her acumen. She guides him through some lessons in intrigue, and helps identify some scorpions in their midst; they speak of many things. Oo Suleiman Lore, Etiquette, Intrigue success
One of the doctor's grandsons is missing, and Danaë agrees to aid in his search. It is feared he has met with foul play. The Mercere scion scours the city indefatigably, avoiding other dangerous men and their monstrous minions, who seem to be keeping an eye on the search itself, a sure sign of guilt and of a conspiracy! In the course of a week she interrogates some, bribes others, tails the right people, and finally, after exploring the Bazaar night and day, gets a grim lead. She informs the good doctor of her findings, and he leads a group of men to a dusty basement, where they wrest the corpse of the kidnapped man from a criminal element associated with one of the doctor's "allies". Danaë parts ways vowing to return and aid in the reckoning to be had. Folk Ken, Second Sight, Area Lore Baghdad success
Will try and bind another 30 Might jinn, this time Earth:
Danaë Sihr 27 + 6 Commanding Presence + 3 Alluring to Magical Beings + _: 1D10 = [6] = 6 + 6 Confidence = 45 total
Needs 15 to Penetrate, Penetration total is 8 jinn x 2 Arcane Connection to place, + 15 extra power from Sihr roll = 31, done!
Bargain difficulty is 18 + 9 service to last a year + 3 General Scope + 8 (4 less pawns of vis spent) = 38 vs an 8 Bargain jinn + 5 Com + 3 Alluring to Magical Beings+ 15 Bond Strength + _: 1D10 = [8] = 8, 39, done!
This costs her 2 confidence, 2 Te pawns, 15 banked jinn points.

Andros decides it's time to raid the nobleman allied to Sylvanian Covenant once again. In fact, this is his grandson, the old rascal is now frail and bedridden, although still rumored to mastermind all the family business. Lady A gathers all the info for the caper, her knowledge of Sylvanian's inner workings is frighteningly detailed. Every time Andros has struck against this nobleman, he changed tactics, methods, and improves security. But it is difficult to ward against a magus! Soon they locate the house where the nobleman stores his wares...right next to a church. Lady A soon engages one of the priests in conversation about doctrine and the latest news from Rome, manages to get him outside the building, where Andros, without any sign except an odd whispering, scans his mind. And finds out that the nobleman is bribing the priests to keep his odd loot within the Church walls. The party threatens to reveal this information about sinful behavior to other members of the church, and this threat proves potent and disconcerting enough that the priest caves and pleads with Lady A to take the smuggled goods far from his sight.

•Andros 2 Vim (divine) personal

On their journey to seek Vim vis, the group meet a miserable mendicant on the road to Apulia. It turns out this is the same priest whose mind Andros scried on in Spring, and who was guarding the smuggling nobleman's magical goodies that Andros "liberated". He has been kicked out, his mind has been further abused, and it appears he is suffering from some disease. Andros struggles mightily against his Compassionate nature, but decides that this is his responsibility. They feed and clothe the poor man, and formulate a plan to somehow reinstate this priest, somewhere! Pazzino and Petra are well-versed in Church politics, and both have enough contacts that they can reach out and find out that the entire process to kick out and defrock the priest was highly unusual and without the permission from Rome! They organize a spirited argument and ask a different faction of the church for a new opportunity, and their arguments sway some immediately. And behind the scenes they make alliances, cash in favors, and try to cast the entire process that kicked the priest out as a power grab, and unfair. At the same time, Andros journeys with the priest to a well-known grove of healing, where both pray for a miracle. And Andros, suspecting a regio, boldly casts a spell and finds the way inside, where a Divine being looks on disapprovingly. Andros guides the man and awaits outside. Only hours later, the poor priest makes his way outside again, apparently healed of all ills, and carrying a small branch given to him by the guardian. He hands it over to Andros, dismissively, "this is what your kind venerate, is it not", and returns to Apulia with a saintly aura. intrigue, canon law, Piercing the Heights, Plumbing the Depths success
