For the first time in months, your father, King Vader, is back from his travels on company business. It's hard to say exactly what his job is, but in your father's words, "If they have to send somebody somewhere, I'm always the one who has to go. At least I get paid a lot for it.

For once gathered together for the holidays, your family is busy almost exclusively resting from busier days. You try to go to bed early every day so you don't have to listen to that annoying creaking till midnight.

Thanks to the reduced blockages on the floor, your room seems a little more spacious than usual. It's even almost acceptable to exercise in it if it weren't for the fear of fragile appliances that make you hold back your swings. An unassembled suitcase with your predecessor's treasures awaits under the bed, and a new diary, already containing your notes and secrets, is stored in a stash under the double bottom of the bottom drawer of your computer desk.

It's a little over a week before school starts, and if you want to try to start recruiting supporters for the school, it's a good idea to find at least one Secret Knowledge. After all, without tangible proof, your words are empty, and only those who already trust you can believe them.

It's the middle of the Christmas vacations, and except for some family time, you're as free as the wind. For the next week (turn 1), you are free to do whatever you want.

After waving after your father leaves in a cab, you go back to your room and open your diary. In the past week, there have been many events and accomplishments that need to be written down, and records need to be organized. You haven't had a chance to systematize what has happened in the past time, because other things have required close attention.

School starts next week, which will drastically reduce the amount of free time that you can devote to more important things. But there will also be new opportunities. You have to be ready.

[X] (B) This body is mine. All these rites and rituals are rather traumatic acts, not to mention sacrifices. Yes, and some knowledge, as well as much more than some practices, hurts the one who learns and performs them. You need a much sturdier and stronger body so that you don't have to go to the emergency room after every vein you open. Physical exercise should do you good, and the dumbbells dug out from under the rubble in your room are already helping a lot with that. Requires 2 passes, 80% chance of success. (On completion, +1 body action, vitality boost)

"... - And twenty-nine, and, thirty!" When you're done with your push-ups, you can barely get to your feet. Your hands are shaking and won't be able to hold anything heavier than a fork for the next half hour, but it's worth it: You wake up in the morning feeling better than ever. Except for the aching muscles. Or maybe it's because of them.

You've been eating more lately. Linda complains more often, though jokingly, about "disappearing" food, but so far she blames the faster-than-usual emptying of the refrigerator on King's presence in the house. Despite the increased appetite, your hinted "strategic reserves" on the sides are rapidly depleting. It is worth thinking about expanding your diet before the people around you begin to excite gastronomic interest...

[X](M)Exploring the Inheritance. The contents of the suitcase are also worth examining in more detail, because according to the diary, it contains valuable reagents, and perhaps even artifacts, not to mention receptacles of secret knowledge.

Now, having studied the diary, you know more about what the contents of the suitcase might be. Requires 1 pass, 80%/50%/10% chance of success

As you pull the suitcase out from under the bed, you spread its contents out on the blanket. There aren't really that many items in it, but individually they take up an unexpectedly large amount of space. When you open your diary, you reread the notes on your predecessor's possessions, which you compiled from his notes.

By carefully comparing the descriptions of each item and the items laid out in front of you. You make a catalog of your possessions.

Books (10)

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 19:10

- Diary of the Predecessor. First-person memoirs of an unknown initiate. Still holds some mystery.

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 19:11

- The Collected Works of one Therese Galmier, in four volumes. Something about Locksmith's dreams.

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 19:15

- A three-volume book, "Traveling at the Night," Dreams of a certain Christopher Illopoli, with commentary. (The diary mentions that the authors of these two works, Christopher and Teresa, are somehow related.)

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 19:18

The Burning of the Unburnt God. Some Persian tales were recorded by Jay Wigglesworth Jensen. According to the diary, contains something important.

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 19:14

- The Manner in which the Alchemist was Spared - At least that's what the enclosed note says. A really ancient-looking book, wrapped in several layers of leather and cloth. If the Predecessor considered the last book important, he was literally shaking over this one, which is evident in the dancing letters of the diary. Sort of an unthinkable rarity, containing the supreme secrets of the Forge, the Old and New Testament of this religion in one bottle. Too bad there's no translation. The original text resembles something between Indian hieroglyphs and crushed cockroaches. According to its predecessor, it is the language of "Vak."

Camrad_RIP 08.06.22 в 19:21

Paints and reagents:

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:45

- Two bags of "Bitterblack Salts" - black crystals no bigger than a fingernail. According to the diary, cannot be created without the secrets of the Forge.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 05:13

- A small tin can of shoe polish. Signed "Vital Pigment".

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:20

- Two more similar jars. One with "Refulgin", obviously toxic stuff that glows in the dark;

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:20

- The other with "Rose Pearl Dust". The color of tender maiden's love. It's a miracle I didn't spill it.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:21

- "Martensite Paste" is silvery-green stuff in a pot with a tightly lapped lid. It smells like pine needles. In addition to its use as a paint and in rituals, if the Predecessor's notes are to be trusted, it somehow improves the cutting power of the edged weapons on which it is applied.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:24

Other things:

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:24

- Tight leather case with a dozen sketches of paintings inside. Scrawled on both sides. I don't know what they are for.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:24

- A casket with unknown contents, with no visible joints or lock. There are incomprehensible symbols scorched all over the surface. It is definitely not a Vak, the hieroglyphs are too different. There are no mentions in the diary.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:35

- A scattering of sheets at the bottom, with the Predecessor's typical verbal patterns, complex formulations, and reasoning in inappropriate places. Many lines seem to have been taken out of context, arranged at odd angles, and filled with non-obvious idioms. There is no page numbering or pagination, but it is obvious that there are at least three different articles. It's hard to make sense of it.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:36

- A bag of large, coin-like metal circles. Each one has a different image, from angry men with knives gutting other unarmed men to scenes from the Kama Sutra. Some kind of currency?

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:37

Tired of fiddling with brain-blowing papers, you put off digging into antiquities for the sake of developing your mind for the rest of the week. When you return to parsing with fresh eyes, you're caught up in the Insight!

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:38

- The tube contains paintings dedicated to the Hours! Even though they are only sketches, the descriptions of the Principles allow us to understand more than what is visible on the surface. The idioms, on the other hand, contain a kind of scheme, for each his own, which are simplified symbols of each Principle.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:39

- Thanks to the symbols you discover, you manage to break down piles of sheets into three separate articles: On the "Mysteries of the Knock", the "Secrets of the Lantern", and the "Craft of the Forge". If you are not wrong in your assumptions, these chaotic stacks of paper contain the very real Secret Knowledge!

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:41

All that remains is to decipher them...

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:41

- The "coins" in the pouch are so-called spintrias, the currency of the secret world!

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:44

This is a kind of tokens, the origin of which is attributed to ancient Rome, and the originals of such things are worth a lot of money. Even for quality copies, you can probably get something... There are 7 iron, 5 bronze, and 2 silver spintrias.

Camrad_RIP 09.06.22 в 06:44

[X] (F) Admiration for art. Your drawing skills have dulled considerably, and at the best of times, they didn't exactly shine. But you can fix that! The Internet is full of films about famous art galleries with the works of great artists of the past and online tutorials on many kinds of art! If you set your mind to it, you can greatly improve your skills.
