Though his understanding of how to manipulate walines has improved, Whiron knows that his power is still less than that of his friend. Noticing that the lizards are slower, he forsakes his staff to launch a snail shell, mystically augmented to generate a pulse of sound when it strikes. He also...

Undeterred by the previous failure, Whisper grabs the second spider and tries the same thing. d10 = 2, 7

Whiron shifts his stance for better balance and readies his skiff pole. Unlike his friend, he has discovered no mystical task to protect himself. He has to survive without it. “Oh sure, we complain of monotony, and we get marsh lizards! Go figure!”d10 = 7, 2

Whiron rolls his whole head instead of just his eyes, since he is standing in the front of the skiff, while his friend is aft. “You and me both! You and me both. No, I do not think we can go four days yet. We cut pretty close to even doing three days. Maybe with a little more experience we can...

Whiron has an epiphany. It is so strong that he stops moving for a couple of seconds. “I have an idea, and I feel awful that I did not think of it sooner. We should help our parents. We have only been supporting ourselves for two Cycles. Our current turn around on our hunting expeditions is...

Whiron removes his hat nad pulls back his hair with his left hand before replacing the hat. “Yes, you are right. We are running on habit. I am, of course using an estimate, but since those guards robbed us and we have reduced our return trips this season, I think that we will be close, even with...

Whiron rubbs the side of his head for another second, then adjusts his hat. “Yeah, I am fine. It was a calulated risk. I needed to say something so that they would not kill us but also so that the would not simply follow us around. No one can know our secret. Eventually we will be able to take...

Whiron makes eye contact with Jalakaag and nods back almost imperceptibly. He understands that this is a losing situation, but he figures that being easy of a target, even against javelineers, will have even more negative consequences. He wants to maintain some dignity without getting he and his...

Whiron nods. “I am afraid that you are right. I think the guards are eyeballing us too closely and not because they see us as a threat. I have no idea how to throw one those nets, but we should get one and a hoop net, even if they are only for show. Nets will help us gather fish easier and help...

Moving quietly to each person and speaking as quietly as possible, Astrid indicates that she would like to put an end to the forced labor. Even if the slaves could not or would not help, she thought that they would not aid their captors. She can also hide herself in shadow and move around to one...

Whiron removes his hat and runs his left hand through his hair, thinking over the question. “I am sure we could stay gone indefinitely, but what kind of life would that be? What are the chances of bedding a woman? I cannot see isolation as offering us an improvement, but I have no idea how to...

Whiron can feel himself getting weaker so that he lays on ground before he falls. His mind still seems to be fully functioning, so he manipulates mystical waylines to accelerate his natural healing, not knowing if he will recover or simply stop breathing. Spiders definitely go to the top of his...

Though heat is reflexive for his friend, for Whiron, it is ionization. He causes his touch to be caustic my manipulating chemical waylines instead of thermal ones. “Yikes! Vicious little monsters, they are.” d10 = 9, 4

Whisper does not exclaim but grits his teeth at the ambush from the spiders. Those diabolical creature are notorious for attacking anything. He causes his touch to become mystically shocking as he forcibly removes the spiders to slam them on the ground. d10 = 9, 4

Whiron sucks some air through his teeth and then immitates the call of a local bird. “The first thing that we need to do is get rid of these rat skulls, then we can mark the boat with our own ensignia. Since we have been able to take some birds, I say that we use parts of them. I do not think...
