Seasonal Activities thread

Just to clarify. Tribunal will not affect labwork. The tourney and actual tribunal are about a week long.

Edited Fieltarn's activities; c.f. previous page.

Summer Activity (Srping as Princeps)

Shriek of the Ominous Blade In Te

R: Personal D: Sun T: Hearing Base 2 +2 Sun, +3 Hearing, Modifications: uses per day 2 (+1), Environmental Trigger Total: 19 2 pawns
As Shriek of the Impending Shafts, but for Metal Te (primarily) weapons. Enchanting this into his Talisman.

Lab Total: 33 (possibly more)

Once Alexei gets the 30 pawns of Intelligo he'll spend time further enchanting his Talisman.

He may need to open it for more room, he's currently used 9 pawns out of a compound item, the Amber gem was what he opened initially.

First effect:

Shriek of the Ominous Blade In Te

R: Personal D: Sun T: Hearing Base 2 +2 Sun, +3 Hearing, Modifications: uses per day 2 (+1), Environmental Trigger Total: 19 2 pawnsAs Shriek of the Impending Shafts, but for Metal Te (primarily) weapons.

Second effect:

Warning of Fist, Fang, and Claw In Co (An)

R: Personal D: Sun T: Hearing Base 3 +2 Sun, +3 Hearing, Modifications: uses per day 2 (+1), Environmental Trigger Base 3, Total 24 3 pawns
Works as Shriek of the Impending Shafts but on animal attacks and the attacks of a human body.

Lab total: 38ish (I need to check a few things)

Jornumgandr: in the cold and snowy Winter of 1221, when you're working on Fiona's Longevity Ritual, what does your Lab Total hit with her Int 1, Magic Theory (potion-making) 6, and Inventive Genius (which adds 3, 6 if you Experiment)?

Spring 1221 she'll study Parma at Magvillus, for ?? exp.
Glaukopis hangs out in the kitchens stealing giblets and other leavings. He gets in the chef's way, and learns a little about proper cooking. +5 Profession: Chef (specialty: southern Italian cuisine).

Summer 1221 she'll study Valerian's summa, for +15 Terram.
Glaukopis will explore the area around Confluensis to pick up Area Lore: Contentin 5, giving him a score of 1.
L corresponds with her mentor, Moebius, on Intellego (+1).

Autumn 1221, Laetitia is going to push herself in the lab to try and invent both "The Inexorable Search" (InCo20) and a momentary duration version of "The Whole from the Part" (InCo15); LT in21 + co12 + 2int + mt6 + ig6 + glau6 + ts1 +aura5 + exp5 + er3 + working overtime 3 = 70! WHEW. As a result of the experimentation, we get a special/story event. (Ruh roh, Raggy.)
Glaukopis picks up 2 exposure exp in MT as he helps Laetitia.
She'll keep writing to Moebius on Parma (+1).

In winter, Laetitia will study from three pawns of Intellego vis to gain 8+5=13 exp.
She continues corresponding with Moebius on Parma (+1).
Glau roams the area around Mons Electi trying to suss out if this is a place he and L can live, long term. (5exp in Area Lore: Bibracte.)

In spring, she'll read Valerian's summa again, for 15 exp.
While she's reading, Glaukopis will hang out with her in the lab, and read the local book on Magic Theory. (+17 MT)
She writes more with Moebius on Parma (+1).

Did you say we're going all the way to summer? If so, hopefully we'll have investigated the disappearances of Silviatos and Iosephus, so Laetitia can spend summer setting up a lab here. (+2 exposure in MT)
Glaukopis would spend the summer goofing off in the wonderful weather and having fun (+5 Area Lore: Bibracte).
Laetitia would write more with Moebius on Parma (+1).

In Autumn, Korvin is making a longevity ritual for her, during which she and her familiar both will aid him in the lab; +10 from Laetitia and +6 from Glaukopis. (+2 exposure in MT for both L and Glau)
Laetitia would write more with Moebius on Parma (+1).

In winter 1222, she'll study Intellego from vis, for 7+5=12 exp.
Glaukopis roams the area more, trying to figure out what sort of hunting there is to be had in the winter (+5 Area Lore: Bibracte).
Laetitia would write more with Moebius on Parma (+1).
4-26 (18 for the LR, 3 for bronze cord, 3 for SFB, and I am assuming a -2 living conditions modifier for Bibracte) = no apparent aging.

Fall and Winter
Shriek of the Ominous Blade

Jacques for 1222

Spring - Explore Regio
Summer Precept duties
Fall -
Winter - Read Knowing the Beast Without - LV 15 Q 11 An

Revised Seasonal Plans Fiona in 1222. Subject to change, depending on things like what the Exploration Party finds in the Spring and whether they feel more exploration is warranted, the weather, how randy she feels, and whether I can come up with something else by the end of the game year.

Spring, 1222: Bond with Paul.
Summer, 1222: Study Emilia ex Jerbiton's Guide to Hosting Successful Tribunal Meetings. *
Autumn, 1222: Princeps Duty.
Winter, 1222: Teach Ulrich something.

  • just making up names for the text until we come with something that sticks :laughing:

Spring, 1221 - grabbing In Flux - Veritas, Muto Summae - 19xp Muto = 8 (40) Muto
Summer, 1221 - can't think of anything, In Flux - Veritas, Muto Sumame - 19xp Muto = 10 (55)
Fall, 1221 - Princeps duties
Winter, 1221 - Longevity Ritual for Fiona, 2xp MT Exposure

Jormungand will ask Alexei if Helmutt would be available in the Winter of 1222 to teach him the finer points of, well, Teaching, and ask what would be good compensation for the old man.

Need to have some revissions for 1221 and do 1222 activities... Of course, some of this is dependent on the order of the Princeps for 1222.

Alexei needs to revise his summer and subsequent work due to being deputized by Valerian.
Jormungand has to complete LR's he's sold one in 1221 and one in 1222.
If Renaud comes, we'll say he's 35 in 1222, he might want an LR.
If people want Correspondence XP, they need to get busy and write letters. If your correspondent hasn't been developed by me, include a little blurb about the individual in the letter, if it's the first time you're writing them and they haven't been well defined.

OK thanks for clearing that up. Let me revise:

1221
Spring: Princeps
Summer: Hoplite
Fall: Extracting Vim vis (Cr Vi Lab total 35) 4 pawns extracted
Winter: Will spend a Season opening up more space in the Talisman, Highest Arts total: Creo Corpus 43. Will add an additional 3 pawns for now (total space is now 15 pawns), using 3 pawns of Vim Vis.

Viscaria's Activities for 1222

Ongoing, throughout the year:

  • [strike]If she has a lab,[/strike]she'll be extracting vis each season as a 7-day distraction.

  • Sends out feelers for lab texts

  • most to be determined by the Tribunal Prep thread

  • all building related spells she can find. Preference for ReTe, InTe spells

  • any Tribunal related enchantments

  • low level Intellego spells/enchantments to round out the bartering

Spring: Explores the regio,practicing AL:Mons Electi: 7xp, French 4xp. Corresponds with Ra'am on Magic Theory. 1 XP to MT

Summer: Reads The Stag, The Hound, and The Prince of the Seven Crowns (Rego Summa, Level 16 Quality 15)= 15xp. Corresponds with Ra'am on Magic Theory. 1 XP to MT, French 4xp

Fall: Reads The Stag, The Hound, and The Prince of the Seven Crowns (Rego Summa, Level 16 Quality 15) = 15xp. Corresponds with Ra'am on Magic Theory. 1 XP to MT, French 4xp

Winter: Reads The Stag, The Hound, and The Prince of the Seven Crowns (Rego Summa, Level 16 Quality 15) = 15xp. Corresponds with Ra'am on Magic Theory. 1 XP to MT, French 4xp

Theraphosa's Activities for 1222
Spring: Explores the regio. XP to be determined there, but probably includes AL:Mons Electi. French 4xp
Summer: [strike]Builds a lab for Viscaria and herself[/strike]. 2 Exposure to MT. Install Greater Focus/Featue Forge
Fall: [strike]Builds a lab for Viscaria and herself.[/strike] 2 Exposure to MT. Install Greater Focus/Featue Forge
Winter: Teaches Order of Hermes Lore to Ulrich. Gains Teaching (2 Exposure or Practice?)

Note that Theraphosa needs to eat, and may therefore have a substantial impact on the local vermin population in the regio.

Theraphosa will correspond all four seasons on Code of Hermes with the familiar of some NPC. See that thread for recipients (as they may develop on their own).

[color=red]Update: Replace all instances of "Iron Bones" summa with The Stag, The Hound, and The Prince of the Seven Crowns (Rego Summa, Level 16 Quality 15). Still works out to be 15xp, but to Rego instead of Terram.

Update: Had Theraphosa [strike]build us a lab, per JL saying we can find lab space[/strike] work on lab.

Isen 1221: What should I do? Still the 40XP per season or do it the normal way?
If doing lab activities, he'll dedicate 2 seasons to set up a lab.
In another season, he'll read "Illuminating the Body Human" (Corpus Summa).
In the last one, if given the vis, he'll create some enchantment to be given to the covenant, as a thanks for his welcome.

He'll also send letters by redcap, asking for books on Aquam, Creo or Rego. There's no room to improve on these arts in Mons Electi

Isen 1222:

  • 1 season exploring the regio. XP in Area Lore! Mons Electi.
  • 1 season reading "In Flux-Veritas" (Muto Summae)
  • 1 season to create his "Shield of the Frost Giant" spell
  • 1 season to create his "Trap of the Deepest Winter" spell.

Correspondance:
Don't really understand how this works, but he'd be interested by a correspondance in Creo or Rego. Say, he can correspond with Hiems on Rego :laughing:

Spells to be created:

  • Shield of the Frost Giant CrAq 30
    This creates a wall similar to a "Wall of Protecting Stone", but made of Ice. It can be broken through with bashing weapons or Fire, although, the wall being 1 pace thick, this will take some time (This is still easier than with stone, though)
    It tends to create a plain wall, but the shape can be altered using finesse.
    Base 3 (Creates Ice in a natural shape), +2 Voice, +2 Sun, + 1 unnatural shape, + 2 size (There's no size indications in the guideline, but it can't be that much lower than the base individual for water, so I'll assume it's comparable to stone)

  • Trap of the Deepest Winter CrAq 20
    Similar to "Shackles of the Frozen Ice" (ReAq 10), saves that it actually creates Ice. The Group target and size ensures a large enough block of ice is created to trap, well, a group.
    Base 3, +2 voice, +1 Conc (Will be maintained by the talisman^^), + 2 group

In Korvin's case, he gets 10 xp for the Tribunal and 10 xp for the summer. Just like Fiona does because of her story.
There's a lot of abilities being used, even if they're offscreen, and that could go for the Arts too, if you make a good argument.

Fiona's expenditure request, submitted for your approval:

  • 4 points in Bargain, for trying to get a copy of the Magic Lore book for herself and Fieltarn and the covenant.
  • 1 points in Awareness for looking for things and the scavenger hunt.
  • 1 points in Intellego for using it in the Scavenger hunt (it's only one point)
  • 2 points in Etiquette, for getting along with everybody else, even if they were kind of jerks in some cases.
  • 2 points in Order of Hermes Lore for dealing with the politicking and for dealing with Renita's situation, even if it was at a distance.

I'd like to put 5exp into Code of Hermes and 5xp into OoH Lore.

Tournement:
5 xp Awareness
5xp Code of Hermes

March:
5xp Intrigue
5xp Etiquette
