That last looks more like an old redcap then an Ex Misc. 
Have some respect 
Well, he is a not-so-old (just wasted by debauchery) Redcap.
Wearing an underdog T-shirt. His name is Curtus Cobainus!
On his shoulder he carries the enchanted device "useful for delivering messages" that his House gave him instead of the magical lute he asked for -- pointing out that Larta magi are no longer canon.
I was debating EX MISC or HEDGE but I don't know why I didn't think to put MERCERE on it. Like an unGifted redcap who hasn't been able to bum a longevity potion off his sodales...
I was going to close this thread at the start of the Ars Magica Definitive campaign, after I put the best ones on our socials. But there kept being good stuff posted, so I left it and grabbed a few more of the best ones by the end of the campaign. Then I came back to close it, and there's STILL EVEN YET MORE good stuff. So maybe I should just leave it open?
Please never let this die.
They seem to be learning, at least. Infernal revenants will do that to you.
I second this: I don't have enough energy to read much, even less post ( despite having my head full of Verditius goodness 
), but I still checked this thread
