    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Jalakaag runs his tongue over his top teeth, consciously refraining from making a vulpine grin. He is not much of a talker and has no idea of how to handle the situation. If the javelineers attack, he hopes to cause as much damage as he can, but he is inclined to just give them the current...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Cycle: 503, Day: 1, Season: Rebirth Realizing that their fortune is also a burden because of the potential envy of others, the two young friends negotiate for several purchases to reduce the amount of physical coins. There is no system in place for the clerk to maintain a record of earnings...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Jalakaag pulls his lips tight and briefly bares his teeth. It is a sign that he is thinking, much like when Whiron runs his left hand through his hair. The hair on the heads of Ansylins does not grow well and what is there is tightly curled. Jalakaag rarely removed his hat unless trying to...

    The Mystery in Bridgetown

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Cycle: 503, Day: 1, Season: Rebirth Residents tend to call the first deduction in wages, Guild Dues, but it is really a district maintenance fee and the coins go to the Artisan district for bricks and faux stone. The second mandatory fee goes to the Harbor district, which is where javelineers...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Jalakaag smiles to himself at the good fortune of acquiring the skiff. It makes transport so much easier. “You had me worried there, my friend.” He confesses at some point before he continues. “We can now feed ourselves and we are doing fairly well with staying out two days at a time. The...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Cycle: 502, Day: 301, Season: Reprieve Jalakaag continues to be able to move around, slowly, but without being able to dedicate motion to any menial tasks for about little more than half a day. Fortunately, when Whiron mystically enhances his own rate of healing, the venom is not strong enough...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Unable to do anything for his friend, after Jalakaag accelerates his own natural healing process, he stands watch over Whiron and keeps an eye out for any potential danger. “Hopefully you will recover soon. Rest easy. Surely your body will override that venom.” d10 = 9, 5

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Cycle: 502, Day: 301, Season: Reprieve Only by the element of surprise are the spiders able to capitalize on their ambush. Each young man is bitten by all three of the spiders attacking him. Jalakaag has the resilience to resist the venom, but Whiron is weakened by it. Jalakaag is merely...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Jalakaag reflexively causes anything touching him that is not part of him to be mystically heated as he grabs one of the spiders by its legs and attempts to throw it away. “What are these foul creatures!?” d10 = 7, 2

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Cycle: 502, Day: 301, Season: Reprieve At this particular location, setting snares during the night does not produce any rodents or anything else edible, only tiny fowlers. This is the common name for small, furry animals, about the size or mass of a person’s forearm, that forage at night to...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Cycle: 502, Day: 301, Season: Reprieve Having no need of the skulls from the rats, the two young men simply dropped them into the water after removing them from the skiff, adding the saved parts of captured birds as their own unique identifier. Having the boat basically tripled the distance...

    Oppression vs. Ambition

    Jalakaag smiles as he and Whiron pole their way through the marsh in their newly acquired skiff. “I must say, our speculation on the use of a boat was spot on. We need to make sure we do not lose it, especially while we are sleeping. Any ideas?” d10 = 7, 9
