IIRC, some of the listed books were stolen, but I can't remember which ones. Max?
Justus had spoken and said:
...[color=red]the following books where missing, Defence against the magus malediction, Obliteration, a summae on the destruction of entities and Domination over the elements, minds and bodies in your surroundings. The most worrying thing is that our summae on Parma Magica is missing.
No summae left to study from. Hmmmm... what sort of enemies does Justus have? Or what group doesn't want this covenant to get off the ground?
More on the summae details (highlighted)
Summae
[stolen]• Defence against the magus malediction by Felix Ignis Ex Flambeau,
Parma magica, L 6 Q 12
[stolen]• Obliteration, a summae on the destruction of entities, by Varro
Ex Tytalus, Perdo, L 15 Q 15.
[stolen]• Domination over the elements, minds and bodies in your
surroundings, by Marcus Valerius Ex Verditius, L 20 Q 10
Covenant Morale (While I have covenants open)
6 magi (1 Blatant gift, 2 GIfts, 3 gentle gifts ) 165/6 = base of -27 pts that gives a base loyalty of -2 (That means Mariella is singlehandely worth -1 loyatly to the covenant if you got rid of her it would drop to -12 )
We have been a covenant for a year to 2 pts familiarity
-25
Assuming a presence of 0 are Grog captian , Steward and chmaberlain are worth +15
gives us -10
are pay and equipment are average thats no modifer
living condition is +1
gives us 0
I would rate the Public healing we did as about +9 , and I don't think we have earned any negatives as the punishments have all been for mundane crimes and were not out of proportion
gives us a net +9 or a loyalty score of 1 (Rising to 2 if you ditch Mariella)
So, to be sure, with Hedwig's imprisonment, pending execution and lair discovered. Are all books found, returned and in similar shape as before?
Yes the library is restored.
What ability, form or technique does the following summae teach? Penetration, perhaps?:
Domination over the elements, minds and bodies in your surroundings, by
Marcus Valerius Ex Verditius, L 20 Q 10
As far as I am aware Rego. A penetration Text of this level would be amazing and unique to rasie a skill to level 20
Oooh, yeah. Now that you say it, Rego sounds more applicable.
If the book was a book on Penetration I think Mariella would have married it. A penetration skill of 20 could be really useful
Yes, it is THE rego summa. The one edwig stole...
Summary of the covenant
Ad fons is a covenant situated in the deep forests of Pomerania. The covenant is a exquisite crafted manor house with a beautiful garden surrounding it. The garden is surrounded by a stone wall, not enough to withstand a full scale assault by a professional force of soldiers but it provides protection from brigands and animals. Near the manor house on the other side of the wall lies a pond whose water supply comes out of the ground. The pond is the covenants main supply of vis and prolongs the life of its denizens. Other vis are gathered from the surrounding forest by grogs with a standing order to collect a strange items the find in the forrest. Surrounding the covenant is a village that lives on both supplying the magi and working the forest around them, pig herding is one of the major incomes of the community. On a nearby natural hill stand a small tower surrounded by a wall, an eerie retreat for the people of the covenant in times of need. The tower is fenced in by a low stone wall, only measuring six feet of the ground.
