You believe you have an insight and must develop the relevant spell before you can proceed, but it provides no breakthrough points. In this case it is a Cr(Re)An spell which appears to mimic fertility rituals but merely ensures conception after putting the livestock into heat. Level is 35.

Well, this war ends in 1139, but by that point Roger has started a second war that lasts until 1149, having merged with the second crusade...
This feels like I'm watching sonmeone play a very slow version of Crusader Kings. Mwahaha.
Oli is not adventuring, I'll work on his advancements. Silveroak, Oliverius is hoping to cash in some of his vis of account for Vim and Terram if the rates are good.
Vim is always 1:1 for vis of account. You are also able to get terram at 1:1- apparently someone has traded a lot of Terram for other arts recently.
1134 - SUMMER
Eager to discover an alternative way to influence conceptions of living beings, Aurthor try to invent this Cr(Re)An 35 spell:
Risk modifier: 0
Final LT: Cr(Re)An 68 + Nocturnal laboratory routine 2 + _: 1D10 = [6] = 6 =76
1st roll for extraordinary results: _: 1D10 = [9] = 9 -> Special or story event
2st roll for extraordinary results: _: 1D10 = [7] = 7 -> No benefit -> LT drops to 70 without consequences
Warped Lab roll: _: 1D10 = [3] = 3 > 1 -> Nothing strange happens
Hmm, this time Aurthor has a Special or story event, what will be the conseguences silveroak?
not sure why you rolled twice on extraordinary results, but as the special was first:
Aurthor causes, by means he does not understand and cannot replicate at this time, a Pegasus of the magic realm to be born in the stables, and one who gets twice the normal reaction penalty in dealing with The Gift.
Aurthor has CREATIVE BLOCK! An interesting flaw that provides a -3 to invention of most stuff. However if you go into experimenting you roll TWICE on the extra-ordinary results table. This means you are more likely to explode yourself! You are also more likely to make a discovery!
ah, that explains. In this case you get a mage-averse Pegasus.
Mercurio wants to make friends with it, and wants Philippe to help. -.-
you might have better luck with Concetta's help- she has animal ken 5 and animal handling 5
And she's cuter.
Oliverius will be trading in Vis of Account for 14 vim and 15 Terram. I'll adjust my numbers accordingly, then apply the interest.
His vis of account drops from 81 to 52, then interest to 62.
At this point Aurthor realizes that there's nothing special in the new spell, apart from having procured a pegasus to the covenant. He is going to question again the hyperborean ghost next year...
It doesn't sound like anyone else has offered to pick up Anna's son. Did you still want to foist him off on someone, or making plans for yourself? Just offering in case you didn't want to run your own kid.
Still was hoping to foist him off on someone. That'd be great if you could take him!
I'm willing to try, at least. I need to make myself practice getting ahead in my scheduling more!
It is worth pointing out that Bravery has already been designed at age 6, simply because it had to be done in order to advance him that year. We can discuss alterations to the character or future developments.
I think the only thing he really needs are personality and story flaws. Personality traits are of course going to be in a flux at this age. I think being the heir is going to cause all sorts of trouble as well.
And adding even further to this: I don't particularly have any cool ideas of where to take this six year old in direction; I just remember that QPaCat was offering Bravery to people, and thought I would try picking up some of the work. If Silveroak has any plans for the boy's future, I'm happy to incorporate them (maybe a few inherited virtues and flaws) and if QPaCat had plans of how to build him, I'd be happy to discuss it to help finalize a more personalitized character.
