Trying to find a way to channel some of my osr d&d energy into ths game. But no worries. Give me a few days to think and I will write something.
Anyways, to close things out, all players receive 3 points of Fortune, and up to 15 xp from Adventure.
I want to reuinite the party and get something going for more players. I feel like I am leaving people out. But to be fair, Trogdor was supposed to run a story but he was belayed by personal issued.
I can set up a thread for a Council meeting where we vote people in, and from there we can discuss what we want to do.

I'm looking at the page for "Confidence and Fortune", and trying to grasp the meaning.
It this right?
The Fortune Points awarded are kept in a pool, like Confidence Points. It is from this pool one can spend them, on the various things listed on the page.
The Fortune Points one posses are also used to "buy" a Fortune Score, after the pyramid scale. THis is the amount of points one can spend at a time, like Confidence Score.
The Woad gets 3 Fortune from this Wild Kingdom story, "buying" him a Score of 2.
But how does the score change? If I use a point, should I reduce my Score?
What about next time I gain Fortune, then the Score could rise again?
The Woad's adventure exp will all go into Area Lore: Andorra, that's first priority. As is learning the local language, so I'm hoping there is a good teacher somewhere.

All of your presumptions are correct.
Further, the points belong to you the player. You can use them to benefit any character you control or any player character you choose to assist.
Each character begins each "story" with full Confidence.
Ah, so the Points refresh for charactes at the start of a story.
So I have 3 Fortune, that's Score 2 and 3 Points. Any character can burn up to 2 points at a time, up to a total of 3 points.
When the story is over, I may get more. Let's say I get 2.
At the start of next story I'm back to Score 3 (but wioth 2 loose points, because it's not enough to raise score to 3) and (3+2=)5 Points
Oh, and sorry about cluttering the thread about the story with this. Or is it ok to discuss 'post-satory sequence' here?
Because I'm also wondering if there isn't a limit of awarding a maximum of 5 Story Exp at a time to any given ability. So the Woad may need to branch out, and not pile all exp in Area Lore: Andorra.
Is anybody else using an Covenant Lore ability, is that relevant? And is it an Area- or an Organization Lore?
Remind me again, please: What is the local language (hopefully also spoken by the grogs)?
And what is the appropriate Area Lore for the surrounding area?
And do we use a Covenant Lore?
Ars Magica suffers from Ability creep.
The local language is Catalan
And you know, I suppose the area and organization should be two different Abilities. But I hate the creep. So just Andorra Lore will serve as either or both. For most it is Area. For those associated with the covenant, it is also Organization
Also, to clarify, no character ever uses or burns Fortune. It is Christian Andersen that has these points and this score, and he can use them whatever way he wants whenever he wants.
I don’t mind taking both Area Lore for the locale as well as one for the Covenant- Area or Organization, for covenants I have difficulty making a distinction.
But if nobody else uses both I’ll save the exp.

All right, the Woad spent his 15 exp on new abilities:
Area Lore: Andorra (mountains) 5 exp
Living Language: Catalan (grog) 5 exp
and improving existing ones:
Survival 3 exp
Hunt 2 exp

Marcellus will want to visit Simon again and build on the offer of friendship he extended to the dragon

Marcellus might want to read Fleur's notes on breeding Storm Sheep. Very interesting results...

Regarding this one, Marcellus would like to get those present when we talked to Featherbottom's ghost. If we are to get things rolling, then we need to start gathering information about the events that lead to his death.
The magi who were there are Marcellus, Edith, The Woad (@Christian_Andersen) and Ikelos (@jebrick).
