Word from Seth

Many in town will be heartened to know that Seth is well.  Others are angry with him for leaving at a time like this.  You'll have to proceed carefully.

Throw a party at which you read the message

Writing to Seth

When Seth left, he gave you a sheaf of paper.  He said that what you write on it will be communicated to him.  He can't easily reply, but perhaps it would be wise to keep him informed.  And even if he weren't listening at all, writing down one's experiences does, perhaps, help make them meaningful.

Write an entry yourself

You wouldn't mind the opportunity to reflect on recent events.

Invite Bratha to write

Bratha certainly wouldn't pass up an opportunity to tell Seth of Adastra's woes -- she could probably do a better job than you could, in fact.

Invite Aspic to write

Aspic didn't know Seth very well -- they met for the first time while liberating you -- but Aspic is close to the people, and his voice is valuable.

Invite Rhody to write

Rhody is a particular fan of Seth's.  You understand they worked together to spring you from prison during the evacuation.  But does she even know how to hold a quill?

            You need Food 1 (you have 22)

Get the whole town involved

He has his detractors, but the town at large likes Seth and misses him.  They might enjoy the opportunity to write, even if only a sentence apiece.


"You should have seen his face when we showed him the spider!"

Aspic writes with a conversational sort of flourish.  He's light on details, speaking instead of the mood of Adastra and of his own adjustment to having authority.  You haven't always gotten along with Aspic, but his work for the Docks in Zaradene was sterling.  You wonder how much Seth knows about that story.

Word from Seth

The town wizard, Seth Mase, has sent a message back by magic.  He is still in the field, trying to save the world from what the Puncture brought into it.  He doesn't know when he'll be back.  He wants you to convey his reassurances to the people of Adastra.

Share the message with everyone

A modest challenge

Many in town will be heartened to know that Seth is well.  Others are angry with him for leaving at a time like this.  You'll have to proceed carefully.

Everyone likes parties.  No one with a full stomach is likely to get up in arms about Seth's absence.

Undisciplined!

The Resurgents are making trouble.  Their leader insists on drilling them separately from the rest of the militia, and his instructions conflict with Bratha's.  Unity among the Resurgents, the hedge mages, and the regular militia is a disaster.

Ask Bratha to accommodate the Resurgents

Bratha hates the idea.  But you did, after all, promise that they could be a separate unit.  Perhaps the rest of the militia has something to learn from them?

Writing to Seth

When Seth left, he gave you a sheaf of paper.  He said that what you write on it will be communicated to him.  He can't easily reply, but perhaps it would be wise to keep him informed.  And even if he weren't listening at all, writing down one's experiences does, perhaps, help make them meaningful.

Write an entry yourself

You wouldn't mind the opportunity to reflect on recent events.

Invite Bratha to write

Bratha certainly wouldn't pass up an opportunity to tell Seth of Adastra's woes -- she could probably do a better job than you could, in fact.

Invite Aspic to write

Aspic didn't know Seth very well -- they met for the first time while liberating you -- but Aspic is close to the people, and his voice is valuable.

Invite Rhody to write

Rhody is a particular fan of Seth's.  You understand they worked together to spring you from prison during the evacuation.  But does she even know how to hold a quill?

He has his detractors, but the town at large likes Seth and misses him.  They might enjoy the opportunity to write, even if only a sentence apiece.

Scouted

A couple of hunters haul in an eladrin wearing, unusually, camouflage rather than her kind's usual crimson red.  They have bound her hands and gagged her, but she stares at you with hate in her eyes.  "Found this one, we did," says one of the hunters.  "And get this: she was lookin' for us.  Knew we were here."

Your Visibility is getting dangerously high.

Put her to death

She has seen Adastra.  She's too dangerous to leave alive.

Blindfold her, disorient her, and release her

If she ever finds her way back to her people, hopefully she won't be able to say much of use.  Hopefully.

Keep her in prison

Provisioning a prisoner is something you'd rather not have to do, but at least it wouldn't be an act of war.

Writing to Seth

When Seth left, he gave you a sheaf of paper.  He said that what you write on it will be communicated to him.  He can't easily reply, but perhaps it would be wise to keep him informed.  And even if he weren't listening at all, writing down one's experiences does, perhaps, help make them meaningful.

Invite Aspic to write

Aspic didn't know Seth very well -- they met for the first time while liberating you -- but Aspic is close to the people, and his voice is valuable.

Invite Rhody to write

Rhody is a particular fan of Seth's.  You understand they worked together to spring you from prison during the evacuation.  But does she even know how to hold a quill?

Use healing salve on Rhody

You could use Jasmine's healing salve to get Rhody on her feet much sooner.

Send Jasmine to gather herbs

Jasmine has an eye for herbs and a knack for stealth.  You could send her to gather whatever she can find.

Writing to Seth

When Seth left, he gave you a sheaf of paper.  He said that what you write on it will be communicated to him.  He can't easily reply, but perhaps it would be wise to keep him informed.  And even if he weren't listening at all, writing down one's experiences does, perhaps, help make them meaningful.

Write an entry yourself

You wouldn't mind the opportunity to reflect on recent events.

Invite Bratha to write

Bratha certainly wouldn't pass up an opportunity to tell Seth of Adastra's woes -- she could probably do a better job than you could, in fact.

Invite Aspic to write

Aspic didn't know Seth very well -- they met for the first time while liberating you -- but Aspic is close to the people, and his voice is valuable.

Invite Rhody to write

Rhody is a particular fan of Seth's.  You understand they worked together to spring you from prison during the evacuation.  But does she even know how to hold a quill?

Invite Amos to write

You understand that Amos met Seth only for long enough to relearn magic from him.  But technically, doesn't that make Seth the founder of his tradition?

Get the whole town involved

He has his detractors, but the town at large likes Seth and misses him.  They might enjoy the opportunity to write, even if only a sentence apiece.

Lie low for a while

A very modest challenge

If Visibility is getting too high, Adastra could live off its food reserves for a while and wait for the search parties to move on.  No fires, no loud noises, no light.

Word from Seth

The town wizard, Seth Mase, has sent a message back by magic.  He is still in the field, trying to save the world from what the Puncture brought into it.  He doesn't know when he'll be back.  He wants you to convey his reassurances to the people of Adastra.

Share the message with everyone

A modest challenge

Many in town will be heartened to know that Seth is well.  Others are angry with him for leaving at a time like this.  You'll have to proceed carefully.

Everyone likes parties.  No one with a full stomach is likely to get up in arms about Seth's absence.
