"Time passes, the shadow on the sundial moves."

Last week's acquisitions finally got rid of a considerable amount of money that had been gathering dust in your pockets. In exchange for the crinkling paper and the jingling coins, you've got a lot of treasure that will soon have to be put to good use, preferably before the tingling heat in your gut finds an unwanted outlet.

When you put the three books you'd bought into the closet (with some hesitation, the notebook was counted among the carriers of knowledge), you laid out the remaining items in front of you, examining them as carefully as you did all the other receptacles of the power of Principles that came into your possession.

A fragment of walrus tusk nearly ten inches long, about both ends of which you could easily cut your hand, matches up perfectly with the shark tooth you keep in the suitcase - both bones, teeth, and from the sea. There's a theme to this that you can definitely work with. Especially since there's no need for metal work when working with them.

The candle can be used by incensing in the ritual for the sake of obtaining the necessary saturation of the Moth aspect. Although, at this moment, you are more intrigued by its composition and whether it is possible to replicate it somehow. And why you need some root instead of a wick.

The key doesn't look anything special, with no fine embossing or particularly elaborate beard structure, but that's only until you carefully erase the patina from a small section of the ring. It looks very much like silver. Most likely an alloy, of course, but even so, the material alone is worth more than you paid for it. Good buy.

Camrad_RIP 15.06.22 в 20:24

The last piece is of most interest: A small tambourine with a membrane almost destroyed by entropy. Oddly enough, it is the only worn part-the base of the tambourine consists of elaborately carved and connected fragments of reindeer antler, covered with fine carvings. The images are small and hard to see, but it looks like some dancing or hunting... It's worth thinking about replacing the membrane with something more decent, and then the tambourine can be used again.

After putting everything in its place, you took out your diary and began to make a plan for the well-timed vacation.

The temperature has finally reached a decent above-freezing point, and you can show up outside in a light sweatshirt without much risk of catching a cold. King Bucket went on another business trip, carrying the mark of your cult and the promise to search for the resources the cult needs: Reagents, receptacles of arcane knowledge, and materials. Spring Break has begun at school.

You have four body actions (B), four mind actions (M), and four passion actions (P). Cultists may perform one action from a special section. You have 16 units at your disposal (all available accumulation).

- Visible Vitality - Heartbeats like thunder! (+15 to body rolls) 3 Lv.
- Evident Enlightenment - There's more and more glare on reflective surfaces! I can see not just normal light, and it's noticeable. (+20 to the Study rolls. May lose 1 or 2 steps or, in critical failure, degenerate into a Fascination) 4 Lv.

- Trembling Heat. The possibility of sparks.[Sixth-order influence: Impossible to mix up. Can be used in some rituals to summon underlings] (Power 6) - - 6D6 to the body action roll, whose principle is most similar to that of influence.

When you list all the events of the past week in your journal, you clearly realize that things are going well for you. Yes, because you're not alone, and you're not just taking care of yourself. Steady progress on all fronts makes you one step closer to your ultimate goal every day.

Camrad_RIP 15.06.22 в 20:38

You got the first artifact. What's more, you didn't get it from a dusty refuge where it had been for centuries, and you didn't even take it from another initiate, you created it with your own hands! What is more, it is a useful item that will not only help you in battle but also come in handy in the rituals of summoning spirits from Mansus!

Camrad_RIP 15.06.22 в 20:39

If King were here, you might even be able to summon Hint, if only at the cost of some wounds... The other spirits of the Abode could also be summoned using your new atham, but not yet enough knowledge of the rituals and principles.

You consider looking for rituals more reliable than the Rite of the Crucible Soul. you know, which may be good for the Ascension of the Forge but is unsuitable for use regularly without an endless stream of followers.

This time, you seldom have to replace the weights used by the other visitors when working in the gym. Considering that all or almost all of them have had time to serve in the military, have considerable experience, and have been training regularly for at least a dozen years each, you can become involuntarily proud. But you don't have to be. Because the skill of the soldiers is based not so much on their strength, although that too is important, as on their technique and combat experience. The very components you lack.

Camrad_RIP 15.06.22 в 20:43

"I see you're lost in thought again, aren't you, Greg? - Martin popped up behind me, wiping off his wet hair with a towel. Just when you were trying to squeeze out that last approach."

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:37

"H-h-h-h! I work to the bone!" You objected angrily, swallowing precious oxygen.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:39

"Oh, now that you're pretty chipper, let's do a couple more rounds, and then we can spar!" The coach cheered, and, whistling, went to the second floor.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:40

"Yes, Master."

You really hope that the squeaking sound was caused by worn and unlubricated parts of the simulator and not by your teeth. You don't need to spend money on a dentist to get your teeth fixed.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:43

[X] (B) Mastering the Edge. How to Make a Fist.

Camrad_RIP 15.06.22 в 20:45

You keep getting tossed and kicked all over the gym, but it seems to be harder now than in the beginning. Indeed, it's mostly due to your increased body mass, rather than any great skills you've gained. If it weren't for continued training in fighting skills, you'd think you were being used as a self-propelled punching bag.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:50

Some visitors encourage you with shouts and other expressions of encouragement during the class. It sounds like you're slowly becoming part of the group in some way.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:50

Received: ??? 2/3.

[X] (B) Sheltering. During your search, you came across a vacant warehouse in surprisingly decent condition for many years. With some effort, it can be tidied up and arranged to become a proper cult shelter. Three passes are required, with an 80% chance of success.

Camrad_RIP 15.06.22 в 20:47

Required: 20. Roll: 26 + 10 (Hardened Physique) + 15 (Visible Vitality) + 7 (2d6 (1, 6) Words that Walk) = 58 Pass.

Camrad_RIP 15.06.22 в 20:49

With the help of a few five-liter bottles of water, a mop brought from home, and hard work, the warehouse is slowly stripped of years of dirt. Of course, the procedure has to be repeated more than once, because the dust that has been lifted by your actions settles on the walls, floor, and ceiling, resulting in a cleaning that resembles the agony of Sisyphus.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:51

Strange as it may seem, the wide webs of spiders web stretching from the height like an artificial sky help a little: everything settled on it winds up coiled into one big and disgusting tangle. You didn't even have to use fire cleansing, though there were fears about the necessity of such an approach when characteristic shells with an hourglass pattern were found among the cobwebs and chitin that lodged in the ground.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:51

In the end, most of the dirt and debris were removed, but there is still a lot of work to be done to bring the room to a minimum acceptable level of livability.

[X] (P) The creation of art.
It takes 1 pass, and the chances of success are 80%/60%/40%/20%/5%

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:52

This time, probably thanks to your project to create your first artifact, another attempt at drawing have resulted in an underwater landscape.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:55

Light sand, a small coral reef, lots of small motley fish, jellyfish, and polyps... In the distance, behind a vague thickness of water, silhouettes of huge sea predators, monsters, and shapeless monsters from the edge of sanity can be guessed. True, it is possible to consider them only with a rich enough imagination, well, or megalohichthyophobia with bathophobia.

Camrad_RIP 16.06.22 в 12:55

Probably. Most likely.
