TUW: The Outpost

I am not sure exactly what I am doing as I do not feel overly more motile or stronger, but I am instinctively manipulating Way to augment combat, somehow.

Taylar says, "I feel it as well. I have been thinking about this and it seems reasonable that we can also consciously increase our physical speed or strength temporarily, like pumping really hard on the bellows. It makes our fire burn brighter. I have been trying to boost my strength, but so far have been unsuccessful. Through training and meditating with Way I think I will be able to one day."

As the group travels, Maka keeps an eye out for various stones, whether common, uncommon, semi-precious, or precious; all of them have some particular usefulness, therefore, he picks up whatever he can find. He nods at Taylar’s observations, but says nothing; his mind is currently focused inward, processing the recent discussion, turning the topics over and over in his mind, and making plans to attempt to boost his motility the next time he fires his bow.

Days 244 - 246: Vittero

While traveling up the mountain through the pass, Vittero often stops at the turns of a switchback and stares out over the plains below. He particularly admires the scavenger birds and raptors soars effortlessly on the drafts far out over the rolling sea of grass. He wonders what it would be like to fly, which brings his mind to thoughts of Raven Elk and his fascination with feathers. Even though the concept of flight is fascinating, feathers do not have the same pull on him as they do for his friend.

While pondering this, he realizes that he is thumbing his necklace containing the boar tusks and then an epiphany occurs. "Fangs and claws," he says aloud, though the ejection makes no sense to any other who hears it, since it has no context. The beetle elyta are worth collecting because they have monetary value, but for his own affinity...

He nods at his own thoughts, determining to see what teeth and claws of various animals might offer him in similarity to Raven Elk's affinity for feathers.

GM: Day 244:
The only thing collectible Vittero is able to find this day is a couple of beetle carapaces. He is not even able to locate varmints for game.
Day 245:
In addition to collecting 2 more carapaces, Vittero is able to shoot 4 varmints and 1 medium size harvester bird.
Day 246:
Luck shines on Vittero this day. He is able to shoot 1 large varmint, 4 medium size flightless birds, 3 normal beetle carapaces, and 1 large beetle carapace. Additionally he discovers signs that another party of people has crossed the road, moving south to north.

When cleaning the larger birds for food, Vittero offers the tail feathers to Raven Elk to see if any catch his interest.

Luck is with Maka on this first day. He finds a sizable piece of Heartstone from which 4 individual stone were able to be broken loose.

Day 246:
One this day, Maka locates a sizable piece of slate from which 8 individual stones were able to be broken loose.

After finding little result in his attempts to coax birds and animals to him, Raven Elk starts to notice a good diversity of herbal and medicinal plants, the kinds he would see in Ma's sketchbook, but not so readily available around the Outpost.

He begins to gather several different types of plants and manipulates Way to discover their efficacious properties.

Day 246: + 83(d100) = 115[/sblock]
GM: Day 244:
It is not simply his remembrance of his Ma's sketch book, for his knowledge of flora, alone, would still be considered rudimentary, but Raven Elk has an advantage his Ma cannot utilize. For with his instinctive skill at analyzing Way Lines, he finds that he is drawn to certain plants whether he recognizes them or not. THe first day Raven Elk picks some leaves from a plant he finds interesting.
Day 245:
One this day, Raven Elk collects some edible fruit.
Day 246:
One this day, Raven Elk collects some different leaves that seem interesting.

[sblock=Herbalism]Raven Elk: 15 + 17(konokoro) = 32
Day 244: 1 week / (32 + 98(d100)) = 1 hour, 18 minutes
As it turns out these particular leaves are merely edible and offer no proclivity for the manipulation of Way.
Day 246: 2 weeks / (32 + 95(d100) + 85(luck)) = 1 hour, 35 minutes
As it happens these particular leaves are toxic rather than medicinal. Raven Elk determines that they can be used to hinder the thought process. {Muddle x2}[/sblock]

After finding the toxicity level of the leaves he found on his second day of inspecting the flora, Raven Elk goes to the dried leaves he and compatriots couldn't figure out earlier. This time, thinking of the leaves themselves, he us uses Way to determine their particular proclivity.

While looking through the inventory Taylar finds the Nightstone and Slate and realizes he does not know what bonuses they provide. During their travels he meditates on the Nightstone and Slate in turn to try and pry loose their secrets. "Tenacity is a virtue," he says to himself, quoting his father at the forge when faced with a difficult challenge.

As they move into the mountains Taylar continues to search for ores and minerals using the inventory, and including iron in case he can find a vein that can be utilized by Outpost. A few times he reaches with Way through the ground with no conduit to guide him in hopes of finding something new.

Following Taylar's lead, Maka also intensifies his search for minerals as the party travels.Thinking back to what his father once told him, he is inspired.

Maka's Father said:
"...To be a good archer, your movements must be more than precise, they must be graceful, and fluid, like water. Think of a swiftly flowing river; such power, borne of swift motion, but graceful and fluid enough to polish the stones over which it flows until they are perfectly smooth. That is the secret to archery. An archer must be as water."

"Waterstone," Maka says, out loud, to no one in particular.

OOC: Maka will search for any evident ores and minerals, but will focus particularly on finding Waterstones.

GM: Just a few moments before Raven Elk was about to decide he would have to once again put off the herbs for another day, the information suddenly unravels. As it turns out, these particular herbs are the exact counterpart to the toxic ones he had discovered on a previous day. {Soothe x2}
