As the other two set themselves to new tasks, Tehn calls out, "Hey! This  toxin will only put the ants to sleep. I do not think any of us have the talent, yet, for making it fatal. We really need to tear down this bed and make sure the ants are dead."Realizing the easy oversight in the face of success, the men halt their new activities to dismantle the ant bed. Seven ants, in total, are discovered, all twitching and kicking like the ones that Tehn and Coldtree had incapacitated earlier. The three decide to take turns with Taka's pick handle in making sure they all stop twitching, making jokes at the expense of the ant's demise."I am not satisfied that there is nothing more. mystically, to the ants. I am going to poke around at these remains for a bit."[spoiler=Prospecting]Effectiveness: Ecology + Clarity + d100Ecology: Mind + Commercial + KnowledgeClarity: Essence + Collegiate + CohesionColdtree: 15 + 18 + 78 = 111Taka: 12 + 17 = 29 + 18 = 47, 29 + 96 + 19 = 144[/spoiler]Looking around the immediate area until it become too dark to do so further, Coldtree discovers some small handfuls of edible nuts, berries, and even mushrooms. He also discovers and entire basketful of edible greens, but nothing medicinal.Taka gives up very quickly with regard to searching for ore. It is known that the Orngaddrin have, what are called sniffers, who prospect the area for new veins. It is likely that these Mhytres are sensitive to various waylines without being able to manipulate them. He is much more successful with minerals, finding individual stones of slate and flint, a semi-translucent, shiny yellow stone, and a semi-translucent, dark, burgundy stone, but what really piques his joy is the head sized, gray boulder with bright red streaks running through it.[spoiler=Alchemical Sensitivity]Effectiveness: Ecology + Analysis + d100 => 60 + 20*rarityAnalysis: Essence + Collegiate + AdhesionTehn: 19 + 14 + 89 = 122, successTime: 10 days * rarity / effectiveness <= Will. 10 days / 122 = 1 hour 58 minutes[/spoiler]With the new set of ant remains, Tehn is able to discover that their mandibles, when carried, will enhance the mystical relationship between the life of the being and the blood of that being (Cohesion +1) and that the stingers, when held in hand while manipulating chemical way lines will double the effectiveness with regard to toxicity. (Toxin x2)As night falls in and a camp is made near the strewn remains of the ant bed, the three satisfy themselves that this was a successful day. In addition to providing some greens for the evening meal, Coldtree also shot a couple of conies.[ooc]All characters receive 2 DP.[/ooc]</blockquote>
