catch-all open log!

Who: Anyone and everyone!
Where: On the beach, and various other places throughout the hub island
When: Day 80, and the next couple days after
Open/Closed: open log for hub shenanigans!

[This evening, someone has placed an old, rusted-over camp stove on the beach near the coven's row of huts--anyone examining it in detail will see that it's not operational at the moment, but that could potentially be changed, couldn't it? If someone was handy with mechanical things . . . .

Next to it is a crate (which, from the weight of it is empty) and pinned to that crate is a sheet of paper with a map on it, something like a much cruder, black-and-white version of this:



with the following key:

1 - crags. Contain snakes which may be poisonous. Watch out.
2 - ocean, going about one mile out from the coast.
3 - lagoon. Contains thick reeds (could be woven or shaped into tools) and frogs (edibility uncertain).
4 - abandoned campsite.
5 - orchard. Currently, trees are diseased and bare. Plant healer needed.
6 - abandoned house. A family used to live here, from the looks of it. Still contains some useful supplies.

And there should be a 7 north of base camp with the notation "graveyard. Graves unused." but the player forgot and is too lazy to go back and fix it right now. Observant individuals will note that the map looks like a more detailed version of one hanging on the door to a certain coven member's cabin, one that has a note on the bottom: "Have information? Ask for Jay."

Other than that, it's a quiet night on the hub island. We've been here for a couple days; maybe you're getting restless? Want to check out that ocean, or lagoon, or even those crags? Maybe just go door-to-door in the beach huts? Maybe you're sick of shrimp and looking for other things to eat . . . hopefully someone's got a fire going tonight, and thought to kill a boar . . . .

What are you doing tonight?]

All right. I'll use my power to help the living ones, too. Let's check all of them--!

[Geir goes to the next tree and rears up to scrape at this one's bark, too. with his claws, they can make relatively short work of the orchard, compared to how it would have been with a knife or stick alone.]

What is your power?

[She follows after. This big dragon is going to make this rather tedious task quick and simple. She'll have to find a way to repay him. Everything given must be returned one way or another. Crafting a gift for a dragon will be fun, she's never had the pleasure before.]

Do you have a healing ability that allows you to heal the sick trees too?

It's not a healing ability! It's more like a second wind. Here, I'll show you--

[he concentrates on Yuuko for a moment, and she feels the tiredness of tending the trees with her own abilities fade for a moment-- nothing is healed, but she has a bit more to fight back with, afterwards. it's hard to say if trees feel exhaustion, but they certainly run out of resources or energy, so perhaps this will still help.]

It's called "enlivening." I tried to use it during the last big battle at Aimintas, but I overdid it, so I haven't been using it as much since then.

[he liked the idea of using it in a battle, though. he's going to have to think of how to do that without wearing himself out so much he almost falls out of the sky, next time.]
