Though only a matter of seconds has passed, it feels like it was much longer. Jalakaag tries to slow his breathing, knowing that the acceleration is from the danger. He looks at Whiron. “I do not know what you did, but it looks like you killed one of them. I think we should only keep that one...

Cycle: 503, Day: 121, Season: Harvest Despite his predicament, Whiron not only slings the lizard from his arm but his slight increase in the talent to manipulate chemical waylines destroys the beast's mind, causing its death. The first lizard that he had affected with the augmented snail...

Continuing to manipulate mechanical waylines to produce a concussive wave, Jalakaag hopes to backhand both lizards before they can knock him to the ground. d10 = 8, 10 + 3 = 13

Elsewhere… Magister Karef Gyenin had received his confirmation on his previous contract, but it would not do to have his next contributor come to him. He quaffed a glass of the better local alcoholic beverage to mitigate his irritation. His control over the man was tenuous at best, and it would...

Cycle: 503, Day: 121, Season: Harvest Whiron sends his augmented snail shell sailing toward one of the lizards, tendrils of yellow mist drift from the shell as it flies. There is no way to know if the projectile actually strikes its target or merely lands near, but the effect is the same...

Cycle: 503, Day: 121, Season: Harvest Because of the grass and the constancy of motion, the exact number of lizards is yet to be determined, but they divide themselves between the two young men and go tromping through the grass. While Jalakaag is able to mystically obscure his presence, he and...

He immediately understands the danger of the situation, especially since it is unclear as to the number of the lizards. Instinctively, he realizes that he can manipulate waylines to...

Lathir lifts his palm in a gesture of general inquiry for the group, shrugs, then says, "Lead the way, my friend."

Cycle: 503, Day: 121, Season: Harvest Taking an active role in determining their own income, it is a simple matter for the two young men to realize that collecting a single satchel of welcome crabs and one of tidal snails, each, will cover the cost of the governmental fees. Anything worth an...

Jalakaag sighs, audibly, as he sets into the skiff and steadies it with the pole to allow Whiron to board. “I wish I had some idea of how to change this monotony, beneficially change this monotony. Can you imagine having to do this for another 50 or so Cycles. I think I might rather be eaten by...

Cycle: 503, Day: 61, Season: Stasis Jalakaag is, of course, in complete agreement about helping their parents and irritated with himself for not thinking of doing it, as well. Some of the cleaners seem a little less than agreeable when asked to procure souvenirs; but with the addition of a bowl...

As he and Whiron go about their collections, Jalakaag tries to keep a running count based upon what they have previously been paid. “Whiron, you are better at the count than I am. Help me out, here. We need 3 coins each a day for the fees. We can spend up to 3 each on water upon each return...
