You are... at a bit of a loss. After Taylor Hebert was rescued from the storeroom, a bond developed between you that could hardly be described as anything other than friendly. It should have helped to better determine the nature of the principle to which she was prone. With luck, it might even have been two principles, as mentioned a couple of times in the Predecessor's Diary.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.22 в 14:40

A closer look, however, revealed that you could not unequivocally relate her propensity to the principle. Could it be that a new principle has emerged in the time since the diary was written? At first glance, it sounds absurd, but Lithomachy and Intercalation have occurred in their time... It remains to be hoped that her dedication will help determine the field of application of the revealed talent.

Also, in honor of finishing the year and transferring to the prestigious Arcadia, your hench..., oops, sorry, parents, have decided to give you a certain amount of money. These 14 funds (4d6: 1, 5, 5, 3) combined with your finances can help you buy new books, resources, or even small artifacts, new tools for the workshop like a crucible or a welder, and can speed up some plans in general.

Unfortunately, there's no way to save pocket money outside of the school period, so you won't get any more money until the next school year, unless, of course, you find a part-time job for the summer. After all, you need somewhere to put all that free time!

It's a hot summer, and even though you no longer feel the warmth that once enveloped you during this period, it is still capable of delighting you with opportunities. It's the season for slim shirts and short skirts.

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

Your cult is expanding its ranks, your sanctuary is ready and set up, your knowledge is piling up and multiplying, and your artifact caches are filling up. The day is not far off when you can finally try your hand at a bigger enterprise than sitting on your ass at dusty books and fiddling in the gym.

As safe as it is to accumulate power gradually, it is a dead-end road. You must act to reach your goal, or your desire will eat you from within. Or, worse, the favor of the Hour will abandon you, depriving you forever of your chance for ascendancy.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.22 в 14:44

So far, the urge to act is only a fleeting itch in the depths of your skull, but a little longer and it may become a restlessness. Well, it just means that soon you will have to come out of your shell and do something.

Over the past months, physical training had long since become routine, something done automatic and soothing in its monotony. The drumbeat of the heart in your ears, like a melody from the depths of time, the aching pain of the muscles stretching and contracting, eventually becoming more like cables in a system of counterweights, and the sticky sweat immediately evaporating on your skin reddened by the exertion had become routine.

Camrad_RIP 17.06.22 в 14:50

The only thing that still hasn't bored you is a sense of progress, of gradual but incessant development. It feels like a promise, a promise to reach new heights. You just have to keep going.

Again the throws, the painful grapples, and the blows to vulnerable areas of the human body. But this time, every move is accompanied by the squinting gaze of your mentor, assessing every step and every movement. In the last session of the week, when everyone is starting to disperse, Mr. Fisher calls you aside.

"Well, from what I can see, we've succeeded in setting our base. At least you won't break your fingers trying to hit someone. So get ready, in the next class, we'll start gradually complicating the program. But don't get cocky you've had no real experience in combat!"

Camrad_RIP 17.06.22 в 14:53

"Yes, Master, thank you." Exhaling heavily, you answered, brushing your hair back from your forehead. "I won't."

Lately, the once-short hair has grown out and become more like a pale straw mane. In terms of ruffled hair, it certainly has. When was the last time you went to the hairdresser?

Received:

[X] (M) Hidden Secrets? The coin of the secret world found in the waste paper confirmed that the Predecessor's suitcase was not in the attic by accident. Had the place been inhabited? And is there no other evidence of past owners or their valuables? We'll have to search every plank... One pass is required, and the chances of success are 50%/10%.

A thorough search of the attic during and after the move resulted in the discovery of several items in a cache under an overstuffed closet:

[X] (T) Shelter Change. Your new sanctuary (completely unrelated to your home and family, thank you Forge) is ready for use! Sure, you could make it cozier, but after all, you're not going to live there; it's a place for gatherings and rituals. You will move all, or almost all, things related to occult knowledge and practices into it, to deflect the suspicion that is sure to follow if it is found in your home. Requires 1 pass, 90/50% chance of success

Camrad_RIP 17.06.22 в 15:00

With some help from Linda and a rental car, you were able to transport and place all the things related to the occult in the shelter without any problems. Thanks to the fact that the car was also used to go out of town for a small family picnic, using the shelter only as an intermediate destination, you are sure that there are no traces leading to you.

If anyone tries to incriminate you in the occult, the proof of guilt will not come as easily to him as before. Of course, this does not mean that you should not be vigilant when visiting an asylum...

As an extra security measure, you have placed a "Fascination" on the door to the interior of the warehouse, covering it with a heavy curtain, the curtain rod of which is reinforced directly on the door leaf. Now it remains only to remember to pull the handle without pushing the leaf, which is somewhat more difficult than it may seem. However, this is the calculation.
