I had assumed that was for botching a surgery roll, but that works.
Botch check, really? No botch(8)!, with the absurd bonus she has, that's back to heavy.
Heavy roll Stress(4)+14(Bronze Cord, Stamina, HT, Aegis Chirgury)=18, Success
Medium Roll, Stress(3)=Success!
Light, Stress(7)=Success!
All, in all the process is a little tougher than normal for Anna, but "normal for Anna" is actually fairly easy compared to what most people deal with.
BAM New Girl. We shall name her Rose.
Great! 1143 is fine, I'll schedule an adventure for Aurthor's new apprentice then.
Hi silveroak!
Some Sybilla questions:
Looking at looms, they appear to be mostly wood. Sybilla plans on crafting herself an Excellent loom, to provide bonuses to Weaving. How long would that take? She can use her Craft: Carpentry for this? As she has no money she has to ask Lucio (or Gloriana to ask Lucio) for such a disbursement, yes?
Bit circular: can Sybilla craft herself Excellent tools for Craft: Carpentry with her Craft: Blacksmith? She would have to raise that a bit, though.
There are Workshop Manuals in the library: are these generally available to be used? I don’t think I have read anyone check them out. Both Edith and Adriana have contributed +5 Manuals on Weaving, is there any in-game difference? These would be useful for any Weaving activity?
Both Adriana and Edith have authored Wise Woman Lore tractatus, are these generally available to members of the group, or are these jealously guarded? I guess my follow-up question is what’s the group dynamic? Are Edith and Adriana the queens and everyone else must bow and beg for their aid and instruction (they are both Proud)? Are they both more or less equal in standing? They have not developed more Initiations, have they, at least that they have shared? Is Sybilla tolerated, well-liked or mostly ignored by these Weavers?
More generally, are those that undergo Initiation into Mysteries considered versed in the details of the Script, so that they are considered to know it, i.e., that they may write it down, or serve as Mystagogues for others?
1 season, the cost is not signifigant for a loom, even one made with high quality woods. Technically Syblia does get wages at 3/5 of a pound of silver per year. This can easily cover the cost of the loom materials, or a labor point from the carpentry budget could manage this.
Bit circular: can Sybilla craft herself Excellent tools for Craft: Carpentry with her Craft: Blacksmith? She would have to raise that a bit, though.
It could be done though whether it could be done with blacksmithing or would require toolmaking is a bit of a rules kludge- I would probably allow either for carpentry.
There are Workshop Manuals in the library: are these generally available to be used? I don’t think I have read anyone check them out. Both Edith and Adriana have contributed +5 Manuals on Weaving, is there any in-game difference? These would be useful for any Weaving activity? yes, they are usefull for any weaving activity. They generally get used when they are weaving wonderous items to boost their capabilities. I've never documented them being taken out in the past but will be sure to do so from now on.
Both Adriana and Edith have authored Wise Woman Lore tractatus, are these generally available to members of the group, or are these jealously guarded? I guess my follow-up question is what’s the group dynamic? Are Edith and Adriana the queens and everyone else must bow and beg for their aid and instruction (they are both Proud)? Are they both more or less equal in standing? They have not developed more Initiations, have they, at least that they have shared? Is Sybilla tolerated, well-liked or mostly ignored by these Weavers? The books are held by their authors, and you must request their usage. The weavers share fairly well between themselves, Syblia is well considered but not really considered part of the group. On the other hand she aids a real magus in her lab, so it is unlikely the group would deny her access to any reading materials they are not using themselves.
syblia does not have the initiation Script, but if she can explain to Adriana why she wants it she would allow her to copy it- Adrianna is concerned with the secrets being allowed outside of the tradition, but would welcome Syblia showing more interest in her development as a Wise Woman. Right now they are trying to develop their understanding of Wise Woman Lore to be able to develop an Initiation script from scratch.
Thanks for all the answers!
Hi silveroak, Gloriana just rolled an aging crisis:
_: 1D10 = [1] = 1 ,_: 1D10 = [1] = 1 no! _: 1D10 = [9] = 9 jeez!!!+6 age - 2 Magi standards - 2 Healthy Feature - 1 Good food - 1 Good wine -1 Regimen - 4 Bronze cord = 31, Gain 5 aging points in any characteristic, let's say STR, crisis _: 1D10 = [9] = 9 + 6 + 1 = 16, serious illness, roll Sta 6 to survive
Can she cast a CrCo ritual on herself, or does the illness knock her out of any spell casting? If not, she will require someone with Medicine to aid her.
Also, someone else will have to cast the Aegis, and she will not be available to cast crisis resolving spells herself. Season wasted!
Benedito rolled a 9 for medical assistance, with int:2, medicine:10, which makes the roll by- a significant margin, giving Gloriana a +10 to survive the crisis. Remember that she will need to re-apply her longevity ritual (or do a new on) after the crisis passes, and will still have gained the decrepitude from the crisis.
I don't think she has a Longevity Ritual. If she did, she wouldn't need to worry about surviving! From the last paragraph of pg 168
In case you wondering, this wonderful feature isn't mentioned under Longevity Rituals or Crisis. When I was looking for it I thought I had misremembered until I stumbled across it.
This is why its dangerous to go without a Longevity Ritual even if you have absurd aging bonuses.
Aurthor will cast the Aegis.
As QPaC notes, Gloriana has not created her Longevity Ritual, foolishly hoping to achieve a Breakthru before enacting it. Her Stamina roll: _: 1D10 = [10] = 10, 
well, here goes nothing! _: 1D10 = [1] = 1 , no botch, she survives! (+5 Sta + 10 Medicine vs 6). Poor Evangalos Potter.
Hi, raccoonmask!
In 1142, Andros teaches Neleos spells:
Andros has a MuCo 63 when teaching self-transformation spells + 3 Int + 11 MT (Creo) + 12 Simian Rex + 15 lab (+1 Re/+ 1 Creo/ +4GQ/+9 Spells) + 7 Aura = 108, -2 1 day over 10 out of lab = 106
•Gift of the Bear's Fortitude (MuCo 25)
•Whispers Through the Black Gate (InCo 15)
•Lamp Without Flame (CrIg 10)
•Ward Against Heat and Flames (ReIg 20)
•Veil of Invisibility (PeIm15) - note R:personal
•Pit of the Gaping Earth (PeTe 15)
•See the Vis (InVi 5)
All of these spells individually are within Neleos's Lab Totals,
Warping shenanigans, none! _: 1D10 = [7] = 7
Neleos will have to research a lot of his Perdo spells to give them durations or to find some way to work around his strange Flaw.
For 1142,
Gloriana/MR have an adventure in Spring, must resolve. Done!
Aging _: 1D10 = [1] = 1 ,_: 1D10 = [1] = 1 no! _: 1D10 = [9] = 9 jeez!!! +6 age - 2 Magi standards - 2 Healthy Feature - 1 Good food - 1 Good wine -1 Regimen - 4 Bronze cord = 31, Gain 5 aging points in Str, crisis _: 1D10 = [9] = 9 + (Age/10 rounded up =6) + 1 new Decrepitude = 16, serious illness, roll Sta 6 to survive or CrCo20 to survive. Can she cast the CrCo ritual on herself? This means her Winter plans are dashed, and she will not be able to cast the Aegis, or help others with crisis themselves.
She survives, barely
Andros/SR have an adventure in Spring and 1 in Summer, must resolve. Done, will advance:
Spring: Neleos is taught spells: Andros has a MuCo 63 when teaching self-transformation spells + 3 Int + 11 MT (Creo) + 12 Simian Rex + 15 lab (+1 Re/+ 1 Creo/GQ/+9 Spells) + 7 Aura = 108, -2 1 day over 10 out of lab = 106

Sandor has adventures everywhere, must resolve. Done!
Sybilla has a couple of adventures, must resolve. Done! She creates a Superior Loom in Summer, I had miscalculated how high her stats have to be to create an Excellent one with sizable bonuses. She will increase her Woodworking to create a better one. She creates in Winter 2 Figurines for Prosperina's use Good Teacher (year Long), Prosperina Puissant Teacher (2 Seasons). Hopefully Mother survives her sickness!
Lady A has a few adventures, must resolve. Done!
Aging roll: _: 1D10 = [2] = 2 + 6 Age - 2 Wealthy- 2 healthy locale - 1 good food -1 good wine - 14 LR- 1 Monstrous Blood - 1 Regimen = -14 no change

ARDUINO
Spring
Enchant two more Statuettes of Instant Refuge.
Arduino expends also a pawn of Vim fixing an arcane connection to his lab.
Summer
Enchant the Flying Shield lesser item (ReTe 42):
LT: Int 5 + MT 13 + Aura 7 + Re 28[sup]F[/sup] + Te 18 + Lab 7 + Inventive Genius 3 + Craft 6 + S&M 3 + Forge Companions 1 = 91
Arduino expends also a pawn of Vim fixing an arcane connection to the item.
AURTHOR
Fall
Aurthor tries to get an insight for vis-less rituals from Hyperborean tapestry's power Apollo Soothing Relief:
Insight roll: Int 5 + Magic Theory (Experiment) 11 + Inventive Genius 3 + Ancient Hyperborean 2 - Profaned 3 + _: 1D10 = [1] = 1 > _: 1D10 = [9] = 9 = 36 -> Aurthor gets his insight
Winter
Aurthor tries to invent the vis-less ritual, is this the CrCo 20 GENTLE TOUCH OF THE PURIFIED BODY silveroak ?
Anna is also going sans ritual, but she's counting on her Death Prophecy and Divine favor to shut down all that pesky aging.
to many, dying of old age in front of a roaring fire might be considered a sign of divine favor... be careful what you assume...
Also, you can be alive with your palsied hands chopped off, lame left leg, and four levels of decrepitude.
Anna has unaging so she doesn't need to worry about that. Right now she has 0 aging points. Really, I should invest in lab HT bonuses. Anyone have any ideas for HT boosting enchantments?
[strike]Question: What's the effective "age" of Faerie characters?[/strike] Nevermind: Found it.
Also Anna was able to hit 52 for Markus's longevity ritual!

Raz is basically a street rat turned criminal. Abandoned by her parents at an early age, and forced to survive on her own she has picked up a smattering of tricks. Her saving grace was learning how to get premonitions of danger. Her premonitions don't always work, but its enough that a robin-hood type criminal is willing to use her. She makes a decent leader of a pack of thugs too although she's only done that rarely. She's heard vague distorted stories of an order of magi. She thinks it would be amazing if a handsome, rich, powerful wizard took her in and made her his apprentice, but she knows things like that don't happen in the real world. Or at least almost never...
P.S. The council did pay for Markus's longevity ritual right? If not Anna can trade her technique vis at 1:1 for vim or corpus, right?
Edit: See new version of Raz later
You cannot take offensive to animals if you have the Gift unless it is a gentle Gift.
