You're suddenly jolted awake by the uneven bouncing of your guar trotting through the grasslands. You sit bolt upright, nearly sending yourself sliding out of your saddle though you manage to grab hold of the reins and pull yourself back. Your guar rears back, and you hear another animal whine loudly as dirt is kicked up and the two skid to a halt.
>Vys Pool: (7/10) You feel much less exhausted than you did after the fight, but not quite fully restored

When the dust settles you see Chryssa sitting astride another guar, larger and probably stronger than your own from a cursory glance, but also significantly older. She has her bow slung over her shoulders and a quiver of arrows hanging off her saddle. It seems she left you after fleeing the alleyway to collect her things. Your guar is lashed to hers by a length of rope tied around its neck. Looking around, you can see the cliff face to your left, which would indicate you're heading west and away from the village. Other than that it's rolling hills and grassland.

“I see you're finally awake.” Chryssa's as stone faced as ever, but you think she might be annoyed. “I would prefer it if you didn't sleep in the middle of future escape attempts. You are headed to Licae, yes?”

We can keep it with us. It's not like we're ever actually gonna settle down.

It seems like we're going for more of a roving traveler exploring the world. I really wanna explore this massive world that OP has built.

You could show it to her if you wanted, but the language is barely decipherable even to you and you doubt she has much knowledge of ancient samjan (the early form of your own language, of which she's not a native speaker) or Hiacian imperial ciphers.

>>30436958
Yeah, it was hard to pick which direction to head in the beginning, and i hope that eventually we can head both East and South once we have thoroughly explored the North.

I wanna see the world, then maybe when we're done we can go back and become King of our country.

I hope this OP is here for the Long Haul, cause I am.

So any ideas on what other types of Metamagic there are?

You shake your head, Licae can wait. There's a few thousand silver with your name on it on the other side of that pass and you've got two guar to carry it back with you. “No, before we go to Licae there is a ruin to the south I want to explore further. I was forced to leave by a nosy trader.”

Chryssa narrows her eyes suspiciously. “How far away is this ruin? What is so important that you want to go back?” Sheesh, when did she become so suspicious? Then again, you suppose you do owe her. She fought with you when you were attacked instead of turning on you and sticking a knife in your guy. Then again you get the feeling there may have been more to her willingness to kill her countrymen than just moral obligation to defend a guest.

“The ruin shouldn't be more than a day away if we push our mounts, and the ruin contained-”

true, travelers don't often hang onto giant bags of silver. We should at least find a way o exchange it for gold. But we shouldn't spend it all, maybe keep a nice pouch of gp in reserve

I support finding a place to buy tomes and other magic related items. we already have some kickass armor, now all we need is a nice weapon.

“-a silver mint from the age of the Hiacian Empire deep under the mountain. There was a crate full of silver coins and there may have been more like it.” You can see Chryssa scrunch up her nose. You saw this woman looting a corpse of all its valuables not a few hours ago but an old long abandoned mint makes her turn up her nose. Maybe it's just coinage specifically? Maybe something to do with race? “There was also an old temple to Surya and the priest's quarters contained a large library I wish to take advantage of. Perhaps find a reason behind the strange dreams I had when I stayed the night there.”

That, at least, seems to get her attention. “A library? With books written in samjan?” A pause. “I didn't know your people knew how to write. I just assumed you could read Rhynian...” Well that's kind of offensive. What kind of backwater does she think Pidjata is?

You untie your guar from hers and toss her the rope. You'll need to name this thing soon enough. “Yes, we can write. In fact poetry and novels are quite popular! We're not nearly as barbaric as that executioner king of yours seemed to think...” You kick the sides of your guar and it jolts into motion, Chryssa follows behind you on her own mount. You think she might be smirking.

all our fights have been with our spear.

The journey is quiet. You reach the pass before the end of the morning and after you've steered your guar into the pass you hardly have to do much besides keep it focused on going forward, instead of wandering off to munch on what scraggly plant life can survive in the eternal shade provided by the walls of the pass. You reach into your saddle bags and pull out that priest's journal, it's difficult to get comfortable but eventually you manage to situate yourself in the saddle and settle in to read.

The book mostly details various methods of meditation the priest has tried to increase his control over fire. Among them are standing for hours on end with his feet over an open flame, sitting in hot coals, meditating surrounded by lit candles, sacrificing captured enemies to Surya, and ritualistically burning patterns into his flesh to appease the god with his suffering. It's really not pretty stuff, you can only imagine this priest spent most of his time a maimed cripple bandaged from head to toe. It seems to have worked though. As you near the end of the journal he talks about hurling fire from his hands, commanding flames, and perhaps most interesting of all becoming capable of walking through and sitting in a raging inferno without being harmed.

We can give it light armor, like leather or something.

By the time you set the book aside, it's well past midday. You probably only have a few hours until the sun sets proper, so you estimate you'll reach the ruins by midnight.

You'd been chatting absentmindedly with Chryssa throughout most of the journey, mostly about the contents of the journal (which seemed to horrify her, perhaps the strongest reaction you've managed to get out of her). With the book finished you decide to ask her a bit more about her culture.

“I've noticed you don't seem fond of money-” She sneers at the mention of it. “-Why is it your people detest it so? The merchants took my coin and you didn't seem shy about taking that man's valuables... but talking about it always gets that disgusted scowl.”

She rides in silence for a moment, obviously in thought. “We think of money as useless. It's just pretty metal. We only use it to trade with foreigners. If you offer to pay somebody money instead of trading services or goods, it's like saying you don't trust them or don't think they're worth it. If you demand money from someone it's like saying... You are worthless, you could not possibly have anything to trade of value.” She nods her head.

Huh, that's not as crazy as you thought it was going to be.

I siad maybe we can find better ways in the ritual book.

The Marsala Ve translates as "Martial Way". It's the fighting style of your people. It focuses mainly on spear and hand to hand combat, using spears that are usually no more than 1.5 meters long. The forms of Marsala Ve are part meditation and part physical training.

You've only gotten the basic training that ever child gets, but that still makes you pretty competent with a spear or with your fist. You're decent with a dagger, but not that great with swords. After you were selected for Vatis training you couldn't find much time to train with weapons.

>>30438052
>>30438112

Shit, I mean tell her this >>30437971 you know sorry for unintentionally insulting her.

You nod as Chryssa concludes her explanation. Privately you think it odd they criticize your people for being backwards barbarians when they don't even understand simple economics. “Ah, I see. Well, I apologize if I offended you when we first met then.” She waves it off. “You're foreign, so I would not expect you to know. My people are strange in many ways, I know this.” After that you pull out the ritual book and settle in to pass the last few hours reading.

You don't manage to glean much in the first few hours of reading. The book is... much more dense than the priest's journal was. It mentions days of the week and the year that are more suitable to sacrifice on, delves into the stars and their alignments. You find yourself needing to read through each page twice just to punch through the jargon and seemingly intentionally vague language. Clearly this book was written for people with some sort of prior training. Having read the journal first though you manage to puzzle out a few interesting things.

The priest who wrote that journal seemed to have been a fanatic, even by contemporary standards. Most priest seemed to have only marked their skin with hot ashes, rather than burned it with searing coals. It would probably hurt but do no lasting damage. That's all you really manage to glean before you arrive at the ruin.

(1/2)

The ruin is as you left it. You see signs that people have past through in the last few days. Disturbed earth, burned out camp fires, discarded animal bones. Still, it seems to be abandoned at the moment. Chryssa, for her part, looks impressed. You must admit the fortress is rather imposing looking. It must climb fifty meters up the cliff face and stretch for a mile in either direction. You really on scratched the surface your first time here.

You'll be forced to leave your guar, whom you've decided to name Al Gasreed since supposedly they don't drink much, outside. He wouldn't fit through the doors.

Writing for
>Straight to the library

You decide it would be best to get the books before the silver, you don't want to leave it outside unguarded. You tie Al Gasreed up to an old post outside the fort before you dismount, pulling your spear out of its saddle sling and adjusting your armor. Your legs feel weak after so long in the saddle and your ass is sore, but an almost four day journey turned into a day and a half. You'd count that worth it.

Chryssa follows your example and ties up her guar next to yours. “What are we getting first?” She ask, while eying the gloom inside the fortress.

“We're getting the books first. Don't want to leave the silver unguarded.” You pull out the lantern you bought and fill it from the bottle of lantern oil you bought with it. It takes some trying but eventually you get the damn thing lit and close the panel. This is much nicer, you won't have to worry about burning any of the books this way.

Spear in one hand and lantern in the other you delve into the old fortress. Chryssa follows behind you, clutching her bow and with an arrow nocked at the ready. You don't dawdle on your way to the temple, though Chryssa seems to stop every few feet to inspect the wall carvings before running to catch up to you.

Hey, saw this thread Frday and was intrigued. Have caught up on the archives and looking forward to joining in, it's been absolutely fascinating so far - love the magic system in particular.

“Did your people really once sacrifice humans to your gods?” She ask. Her voice almost sounds... fearful? But it's hard to tell. You shrug in response. “Yes, a long time ago. We were at war, it is the way of things.” She stays silent after that until you reach the temple chamber.

The chamber beyond just as vast as you remember. The ceiling is so high the top of the chamber merely fades away into gloom. The fire pit in the center of the room, taking the roll of Surya's mouth, still rages. You're somewhat curious how it's stayed lit for all these hundreds of years. Rusted iron cages line the left wall and a crumbling set of stone double doors is to your right, beyond which you know the silver mint rest. The floor is one massive depiction in black and white marble of the god Surya.

You hear a low whistle from behind you, and Chryssa mutters something in her native language you don't understand. You make your way across the chamber to the raised platform beyond which rest the temple. At the top of the stairs you're once more faced by the obsidian obelisk you encountered last time, and beyond that the priest's quarters.

(2/3 I lied)

>>30438690
its neat, and it looks like we rolling a scholarly adventurer.
>>30438713
>obsidian obelisk
Oh yeah we forgot to study this.

Taking a moment to read the obelisk, after all you're not pressed for time or anything, you see it's a depiction of battle. An engraving on the bottom reads 'Battle at Eshnuk' and an engraving at the top reads 'Death to all those who Oppose Hiacia!'. The engraving is heavily focused on men in priest robes hurling balls of fire at the enemy formations, breaking them up so the soldiers can move in and finish them off.

Chryssa seems particularly caught up in interpreting the obelisk, so you leave her to it while you go to explore the priest's quarters. Your first stop is the library, which you note is markedly emptier than you left it. It seems that trader took some souvenirs with him. It makes you a little nervous for your stash of silver hidden away in the mint.

>>30438808
You take your time searching the shelves of books, now that you don't have two squirming hostages to take care of. The first thing you pull out of the shelf is an old velum scroll. You pull it open, and see it's some sort of ritual circle. The writing on the top is talking about externalizing spells and controlling vys without touching it. The directions seem to indicate one should carve this ritual circle into the ground or something solid and focus on channeling magic into it from afar.

Seems simple enough, though you do note that it mentions the circle will forcefully drain vys from you if you use it correctly, something about acclimating you to your life force being outside of your body.
>Metamagic Instructions: Ranged Acquired

Next you find an old letter, it seems to be from a near-by water temple and as far as you can tell it's asking a priest why he worships a god that hates him instead of a loving, kind god. It reads like an upset parent scolding their child. Still, it does contain directions to the water temple it originates from, should you wish to explore it despite it being several days off-course.

The only other thing of any interest you find in the bookshelf is a lock box. It was holding up a stack of books. It hasn't rusted or tarnished, the lock is made of silver and seems well made while the box itself is bronze. You have a set of lockpicks back with the guar you might use to open this.

As you exit the priest's quarters you see Chryssa with one of her knives carefully carving something into the obelisk. She nods her head as she finishes up whatever she was carving and slips the dagger back into her sleeve. You're somewhat put off that she can just casually carve into obsidian with a dagger, seriously how strong is this woman?

“What did you find?” She ask, while you inspect what she wrote. 'Chryssa buradaydı', whatever that means. You're not sure how to feel about the defacement of your people's ancient monuments but on the other hand it's not like she carved over anything important, just a blank section of stone.

“Not much, a lockbox, some meditation instructions, and an old letter.” You shrug. “It seems that trader I mentioned cleared out a good portion of the library.” With that, you begin walking back through the fortress to the guar. It doesn't take long to drop off your findings in your saddlebags and grab your crowbar from your tool kit before diving back in. It doesn't take long to find the old metal door and you find it just as you left it. With some effort you pry the door open and slip inside.

The stack of boxes is undisturbed.

Read the thread namefag.

After shifting setting your spear and lantern aside, moving the empty crates away, and popping off the top of the silver crate you're greeted by the sight of those thousands of coins, gleaming in the golden light of your torch. Your treasure has not been pilfered by some trader.

I'm curious, can we use Vys to increase our mental faculties? Like being able to understand a book we're reading better, or plan further into the future, avoid making irrational mistakes when argumenting, deducing or concluding things, or memorizing/remembering things?

It seems to me like that would be far more valuable than enhancing our bodies.

>>30439476
>Move it with Chryssa's help, search the other boxes

>>30439636
>>30439651
I don't know if it is, but i feel like making a mistake there could kill you.

>>30439636
>increase our mental faculties
Absolutely, you can use Vys to enhance any roll that would lead to a better result if it was higher. So if I asked you to roll to barter/debate/something like that I'd totally let you improve the roll with Vys.

Something like formulating a plan though, I would let you use Vys to get yourself a hint. 1 for a small hint, all of it for a rather clear and obvious hint that leave little else for you to do.

You motion Chryssa over, and she climbs atop the boxes to help you pick the crate of silver up. The thing must way more than two hundred pounds, but she handles it like it's nothing. Carefully, the two of you haul the thing over to the edge. Chryssa climbs down first, and then you follow. Once you've got it on ground level you both set it down with a heavy thud, which reverberates around the room.

While you worked you decide to make small talk. “What did you write?” You figure you ought to know what she debased your heritage with.

“Chryssa was here. I right it in ever ruin I explore.” That gets a smile out of you. Sounds like something you'd see scrawled on a bath house wall back home.

With the silver moved, you start popping open the other crates. There's only about ten left that you haven't opened. As you start jamming the crowbar into one after the other you find most of them empty. As you reach the last crate, you've got your fingers crossed. Even if there's nothing else, you've gotten a major haul, but maybe, just maybe, you'll find something even better.

(1/2)

As the top comes off you find yourself initially disappointed. It looks like it's just a bunch of rocks, the hell would this be in a silver mint for? You find a small piece of paper on top and pick it up to read, the letters have faded after so long but they're still legible.

'Silver Ore: 100 lbs. Cand Mine. Praise Hiacia'

Well... not as good as coins, but a hundred pounds of silver ore still isn't bad. Unfortunately most of the mint's furnaces are crumbling and long in disrepair. You're not sure what you could use it for. You also wonder why so many of the crates were empty. You wouldn't think a well run empire would send empty crates to be minted into coins.

When we get back we should first open the Lock Box, then we should decide on how we shall split it up or if we even are going to split it because we could just pool it together.

>>30440122
I doubt bandits would recognize rocks as silver ore. or whether 2 bags versus 1 bag would matter when deciding whether to rob two heavily armed individuals traveling alone.

protip: bandits usually only attack caravans or lightly guarded targets. They would probably not attack a group of 1-5 armed people because as long as they are not guarding a wagon or some sort of shipment, the risk is not worth it.

Wagons are guaranteed payoff, people aren't

You decide the ore might be valuable in its own right as a barter good. Especially if you find a good blacksmith or something. You'll leave it for last though. You and Chryssa work together ferrying coins back and forth between the guar and the crate. She seems much less squeamish about taking money than she is talking about it. Eventually, after you tally up everything you've loaded into your guar's saddlebags, you decide you've taken about 2700 silver pieces in all. That'd be enough to buy and furnish an expansive country villa back home, even if you'd be broke afterward and likely lose it to taxes.
>2680 silver added

You don't have room for much else on your guar after loading it up with silver, your books and tools take up one saddlebag, and the silver takes up five others. After the silver is loaded you leave Chryssa to guard the guar while you run back for the ore. You manage to get it all in two trips, loading it into two of Chryssa's saddlebags after she empties them out.

You grab your lockpicks from your toolkit and set to work on the old locked box. It's rather ornate, so hopefully there's something valuable in there. While you work you decide to ask some questions of Chryssa, since she knows the north better than you do.

“Do you know any trade cities in the north? Somewhere you could buy anything and everything.” You ask, visions of how you want to blow your newfound wealth running through your head. As an afterthought you quickly add. “Oh, and... I suppose it would be fair to split some of this with you. You did help me carry it out after all, and you're helping me transport it...”

“The closest major trading port would be Anthus. It's the city-state that controls Licae. After we exit the pass we would just follow the cliff face west until we hit the coast line, then we would turn north until we saw the city. I went there once with my father as part of a diplomatic mission. They had goods from all over the world, even Pidjata and Aleamond.” She sounds somewhat nostalgic towards the end. That sounds exactly like what you're looking for though, even if it is a little out of the way at least it's in the right direction.

She seems uncomfortable discussing partitioning the loot but not disgusted like she usually is when money is involved. “I would like... just to get something nice next time we are in a city. If you'll buy me something nice I won't impose.” You know, thinking back on it you didn't see a single woman besides Chryssa in the market place when you were shopping in her village. It was all men. Such a strange culture.

Are her terms agreeable?
>Yes
>No

The lock on this chest is being particularly stubborn. Granted, you were never some master thief, but this is getting ridiculous. You channel Vys into your eyes, ears, and the tips of your fingers. The world snaps into sharp focus. You can see every little minute detail of the lock and hear every little movement of pins inside. Enhanced by magic, you manage to pop the lock open pretty quickly.
>Vys Pool: (5/11) You're starting to feel a little tired, a little depressed. Meditation might be in order soon.

Inside, you find a small golden signet ring. It's stamped with the image of the Hiacian Empire on the front, and carved all along the perimeter with intricate designs. Some writing along the inside of the ring reads “The bearer of this signet is the Emperor's hand”.

You could probably really screw with some ignorant foreigners with this, if you were careful and clever about it. Or you could sell it to some curious noble.

>>30440835

though if she gets something cheap we may want to change it to two or something.

>Put it back, you can decide later.

>>30440899
It's more likely that it has more social effects then magical. It's why I think we should pocket it - only bring it out when we think it might be of some use, rather than bringing trouble when someone who knows what it means sees it and doesn't like us.

>>30440835

>Yes

Put it on, and check the coded letter. I bet my ass is magical.

>>30440973
>I bet my ass
I'll take that bet

>>30440964
It may not be magical at all. And there's no reason why it would harm us.

>>30440973
Might work.

>>30440964
If someone knows what it means then they can read ancient hician which we can barely puzzle out being a native.

Most people will just see a gold ring with southern style engravings on it. It should get us some respect if people think we're some noble or something.

>>30440835
Do we know anything about Chryssa?
All we really know is that she's pretty ard for dem humies
I suggest we get to know her when we camp

>>30441006
I'm not saying that it's magical. OP said in last thread that items we wear have social effects, I.E In a noble area, someone seeing us wearing our armor would think "Rich dude, kiss his ass." In a slum, they'd think "Rich dude, mug the shit out of him." The same thing applies to the ring. We don't really know what it represents or the Empire it says it belonged to. If someone hates the Hician empire and happens to be able to read it, we're gonna get fucked. That's all I'm saying.

>>30441078
There isn't really much to know.

>>30441080
Yea makes sense just hide it inside our robes till an opportunity presents

>>30441078
Did we ever find out why she has horns?

>>30441080
If anybody Hates they Hician Empire they're probably a lich.

ut it can also have positive effects like, going into a weapons/armor store with our armor and the ring says "He's rich and he knows what he's talking about, lets not bullshit him" or if we were to approach some guards we are more likely to get respect instead of ignored, though they would not obey us, just they would respond to us.

Plus we do't know if it has magic on it or not, which judging by the inscription, casing, and how Somas gave an option, i would say there is.

>>30441105
I'm just saying find out her likes and dislikes and whatnot don't want really offend her or something cause I'm pretty sure she can beat us to death

>>30441275
No, but right now i feel like she likes us because we aren't treating her differently than anybody else. She was probably discriminated against back home and we haven't even brought it up.

>>30441290
Nah, she's a Melee fighter and we could paralyze her ass quick.

Magic really is a boon in this world.

We should find out if she knows any.

>>30441312
That's something I find really weird. Not the horns, but why our MC isn't alarmed at how impossibly strong this girl is.

>>30441275
Nope

>>30441288
If we can find a use for it, that's fine, just bring it out of our fucking pocket. Leaving it out there for everyone, good and bad, to see is dumb when we can limit it to good with minor effort.

>>30441340
He was when they first met but we never asked about it

>>30441340
This is one crazy world with magic and beats and magical beasts and tons of different shit. It probably isn't the most outlandish thing he's heard of, he even said that she looks like the things from stories saying that they used to fight for the Hician Empire.

>>30441347
But i feel like we wouldn't bother to put it on and take it off every single time, not to mention we don't know when it will hurt and when it will harm us.

>>30441347
>>30441395
>>30441288

>>30441576
>will we ever see it happen to us
It often sets in around sixty years or so. Considering you're 26 right now it's unlikely we'll see it in the quest but it may come up in the epilogue. A few artifacts I have in mind may also make it relevant.

>can we fight/Cure it
Absolutely, many of the more powerful Vatis claim to have done so. Granted many of those same Vatis later offed themselves.

>>30441595
>I would love to know how exactly we got close enough with water
You'll probably get a taste of water meditation craziness pretty soon, assuming you meditate on water and not fire.

>>30441725

God. You water fags weren't satisfied shitting up OverLimit quest so you have to come here?

>>30441822
I tried following that quest but the toxic playerbase ruined it for me.

but you made me chuckle

>>30441813
Burns are tricky for water to heal. You could heal it, but not without leaving scaring behind. That's partially the reason they use brands instead of, say, ritual tattooing or cutting things off. You've had your helmet on for the last two days so it hasn't really been an issue.

>>30441869
They still haven't left the quest. It's suffering.

>>30441789
Wait we can only learn one element?

Captcha: cepoorof conniving
We are you getting at captcha..... I'm watching you

>>30441872

New long term goal: Find a way to heal our brand completely.

>>30441892
In the first thread didn't the OP say that the natural affinity was water?

>>30441872
I feel like having a scar there would be better than having the brand, especially once we visit the big city since they may know of us.

>>30441928
Why?

>>30441921
No, we just already know Water and are gonna focus on it for now, Fire may be usefull sometime down the line so let's keep those tomes.

>>30441939
I don't want to get to into it because this isn't the place, but yeah, it's our natural affinity. The problem is when they say "ONLY WATER. NO SUMMONING NO WEAPONS. NO ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN WATER"

>>30441950
So we don't get hounded down by bounty hunters and patrols if we ever decide to go south into the deep desert?

If we really wanted to we could just burn the tattoo off, it would leave a bigger scar, but it would get rid of the mark, however people who are familiar with outcasts and branding would still probably know what's up.

>>30441950
Because it labels us a criminal worthy of banishment, and any who recognize it will mistrust us.

>>30441977
Oh i see, just irrational anons like usual.

>>30441996
We could just burn half of our face so it's plausible, but i don't think thats a good solution.

>>30441977
It's fading out slowly though. Now that we meet Lucifer and allowed us use of his warriors. Also being able to learn other element types just by being near them is worming it's way in. Now if only those Oathfags would shut their mouths once in a while

>>30442010
I'm just hopping they allow me to use summons.

>>30441992
Patrols we could avoid, or even just refuse to uncover our face (but we'll probably get in a fight) and why would we get branded just for them to set bounty hunters after us?

>>30441950

You mean apart being disfigure? Or the fact our accusations were truthful and we only got branded because the other guy was the chief's son? Or it marks us as a criminal? Take a pick.

>>30441872
Still scare is better then brand and then we can get a tattoo or rune tattooed there.

>>30442061
>>30442057
Why not Water summons?

>>30442103
Because the second you say "water summons" the obnoxious Norsefags come charging in. Give Norsefags an inch and they'll take a mile.

>>30442065
Branded people get used as bait for hunting back home so we got the hell outta dodge on top of banishment

>>30442103
nope, they denied those as well.and that is why i laugh when some one tries to redirect people into the quest.

>>30442057
>>30442103
>>30442132
>>30442147
The problem with Over(Human)Limit Quest is that most of the players just want to focus on one thing and one thing only. Dran really needs to stop in,

>>30442093
i'd rather avoid healing it now.

possibly we can find a good healer in the new big town and have it healed for us.
or look into meditateing in water. give us a nice boost in water magic's and heal it with our own magic so no one else ever knows about our scar.

You slip the ring on your finger, admiring it for a moment. It really is quite well made. “Sure, I'll buy you something next time we're in a city. Just tell me something you like.” You feel a prick as you lower your hand, and a bit of blood wells up from under the ring. Is this going to be a standard part of putting on every ancient artifact you find? Because damn it, even if it's just a little cut it hurts. The blood seems to seep into the ring and the patterns wrought into the gold turn a deep bronze color, the sigil itself seems to glow red for a moment before fading, though the patterns remain bronze.

You note afterward that the ring fits your finger perfectly, but other than that don't notice a change. You can take it off easily, and putting it back on your finger doesn't elicit the same reaction. Your armor did the same thing the first time you tried putting it on. You're really not sure what to think of this.

Chryssa looks on curiously. “I didn't know your people's artifacts did that too. I thought it was just Rhynian artifacts.” You shrug. You had no idea either. Still, you can use this ring to give yourself an air of legitimacy when discussing things with rulers and the like. Maybe if you play it off well, you could trick some non-Samjan ruler that you're some sort of official.

Heal the brand

>>30442188

>Find a safe place to camp

Lets not heal the brand for now. We can improve our magic before trying.

>>30442397
You forgot the ring.

Is that you Somas?

>Ride through the night.
>Read the courier's missive and ritual book
>Ask Chryssa
>>About culture, horns, why artifacts always take blood, her plans

Alright, writing.

>>30442477
Nah, I just haven't gotten around to updating it with the ring yet.

>>30442188
>Ride through the night?
>Read a book in transit?
>>30442220
would we be able to get rid of the scar later on?
>>30442255

>>30442325
We could possibly as i said before find a healer in a big city to heal it completely for us.

and If we do choose to heal it. i say spend the vys to make it go away.

>>30442505
Scar tissue isn't technically 'damaged' it's just excessively healed. Water magic doesn't work on stuff like cancer, or scaring. It will work on diseases and inflammation though. You're not sure there are any methods of healing outside of water magic and the good old fashioned way, with herbs and poultices

>>30442501
And healing the brand.

>>30442397
Lol were Kind of an asshole
Guys we gotta work on that

>>30442571
wait so if we heal it now it will stay on there, for ever?
If so can we have a re-vote on that,

>>30442630
If you heal it now or let it heal naturally, it's going to scar. Somewhere down the line you may learn a way to remove scar tissue or change your appearance, but yeah branding is pretty permanent.

>>30442687
is it possible to find some one at the market place to heal it for us, and if we don't we heal it our selves?

>>30442687

Heal it now then, it will be less noticeable at the very least.

>>30442727
agree

>>30442687
could heal it know and when we want to heal it completely we could essentially cut of the scar tissue to were it should be and have a professional heal it.

>>30442741
and then it is very permanent.
the least we can do is wait till we get to a big city.
see if they don't have some one well versed as a healer. and have em clean it off.
if there is no one fuck it then just heal is.

We can heal or remove or brand
Irregardless of how we do it it we be a scar still in the shape of the brand anybody who knows our culture we'll enough will still be able to tell
From that point we could probably find a way to remove the scarring through what means we don't know but it's possible.
Did I get this right?

Fucking autocorrect

>>30442836
They may not even let us into the big city with the brand. It can cause serious trouble with any people we meet.

>>30442868
except that those who don't know our culture will probably still assume it was for being a crimnial because that is the only reason you brand people on the cheek.

>>30442868
See >>30442687

Regardless of what we do branding is pretty permanent. We might as well heal it now so people who don't know about our culture don't think we're a criminal.
