Act 2.1

Haku and Siobhan have a convoy about what all happened.

Downtime officially starts.

#### Calisto

“Investigating” at the library. Dodging the draft. Helping Hidari with a couple of busts. Both are inflating what they are doing to make sure they don’t get drafted.

Heads to Rainle to do additional research. Rainle is much more natural and lots less anxious people in the city. Headed to the university. Meets Prof. Glyn Phiditch a botanist/herbalist/alchemist.

Nightmares have to do with people’s auras. Among the more educated and arcane. We see Mind/Body/Soul people who are proficient in arcane see mind/body/soul/aura. See the alteration of aura’s requires lots of power. Person can sacrifice themselves to add to a person’s aura. Person who sacrificed either dies or takes a different form. Neutron degenerate matter. Cal IV formulas. Could get it translated/interpreted.

Contacts Glyn gets contact by Firbolg Maeryn. Many of the difficult/theoretical effects would be impossible without a Wish spell since they cannot exist without the theoretical effects of a Wish spell. Kind of asking about Grisham and his bear form.

King Lott had people offer themselves as sacrifices to him so that it altered his aura. These aura alterations are passed through his bloodline.

#### Haku

Making magic items. Training to not be a douchessenesse. On the trail of an artificer. Aerdeth Rothenel. He doesn’t have the ability, but the artificer does Lovenia Lockett. He will be back in a bit. Like a long bit. Like half a year and some.

Attunes to the deck at night to spy on Casper. Doesn’t want to look like rando. Nothing happens, lame.

In order to attack Guerillon peninsula would be hard whereas land locked area is way easier.

Haku distorts a very important fact of a past incident when talking to Nayali chief because he is a tool (also known as telling the story from his point of view and he is nice enough to hold back Calisto’s name).

It didn’t work, Nayali isn’t joining his coalition.

Finds the Illunang or gets found by them.

Elder Kalaheo has an aura of a peaceful meadow with a small light.

Wanted Haku to learn that he is different from the others.

Siobhan burns a tree on purpose. Good for her.

Haku give a Churchill style speech to rouse his people to war. It works on some of his people. Kind of accidentally becomes a leader.

#### Nina

Bumps into Nayali within a forest. Stopped and not allowed further. A lot of the Nayali have adopted the rifle. Itashi will have modern weapons. The Nayali have stolen weapons but some do have nice looking weapons that look like they have been taken care of. They have received “proper” weaponry from Guerillon.

Chief Machap’s camp. Minor tribe of Nina (Saeabi) spent most of her time with. Chief (Giant Raven Aura) asks about her showing the true color of her hair. It causes her anxiety as it sets her apart from the Nayali. He cools. Not a bad guy. Nina breaks the mud by heating it off revealing her true hair. NINA GONNA BURN IT DOWN SPEAKING OF THE GUERILLON AREA CAUSE THE SPIRITS ARE WEEPING.

Nina gives them the literal lay of the land of the land. “They will be true to their word only if it doesn’t inconvenience them.” [Turns out no one trusts Guerillon, despite it taking them all in without question. Despite one of its knights taking them all into his home with no expectations of anything in return. Ungrateful, the lot of them!]

Nina offers Theo a chance to join the Nayali, Theo turns it down for now.

Nina offers Calisto a chance to join the Nayali, Calisto turns it down.

Nina offers Nag a chance to join the Nayali, Nag turns it down.

No Nightmares at Nayali.

Got sent to Seraguma.

Noticed there’s an empty stasis pod, but Seraguma is being cagey about it.

People are being exchanged to keep the station powered. They volunteered for this.

1 Life for ~5 years

When the “Hero” awakes he will defeat Nagpa and Nightmares

He will need more people sacrificed when he awakens.

One is Trisha, with red hair that defies gravity. Seems similar if not exactly the same as Nina. Probably her mom. She’ll need a psychic to talk to her.

#### Nag

Chillin’ out, maxin, relaxin all cool, playin’ some sports ball outside the school. Rival captain guy was up to no good. Started making trouble in the neighborhood.

Rival captain is named Dean Kratic.

Sends three high quality ingots to Jerry.

Works on becoming pizzaiolo, but Dean leaves a bad review on Yelp.

Nag takes the high road. He is becoming a better person.

Is sent to recruit Lex Dowel. They bond over pizza and horses. Lex joins the University sports ball team.

#### Theo

Also sent to Seraguma.

Aywin was put in stasis for being annoying. He should be fine.

Theo, Haku and Nag meet the artificer, Lovenia Lockett. She’s going to transfer enchantments for Haku and try to make more glasses that can see auras.
