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?

The matter of food

A few hardy Adastrans have set up a mushroom farm in the old arena, just beneath the surface.  Growing mushrooms is slow, but when they're harvested they provide a lot of food.  How is the crop today?

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?

            1
            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.


It's hard out there for a mayor

Somewhere in the middle of your long catalog of Adastra's difficulties, it hits you that fixing them is your job.  You have a leadership team, and you have the hardworking citizens of Adastra, but ultimately you're the elected representative of the people, and you're the one accountable.  It's humbling, overwhelming, and frankly terrifying.  You resolve to be greater than the challenge before you.

Welcome to Adastra

A chancy challenge

The Resurgents

In the middle of the night, half a score of armed men turn up at Adastra's door, having followed Jasmine home from herb-gathering.  Evidently, they are not here to make trouble: they want to join you.  They say Seth sent them here from Goodbay, where their stave/bow fighting style kept them alive in the face of the demons now overrunning that town.  Their only condition is that they remain a distinct unit, the Resurgents, within your militia.

Let them join, but decline their condition

This ragtag band needs you more than you need them.  If they're going to join, they have to submit to military discipline.

            You need Food 5 (you have 17)

Any friend of Seth's is a friend of yours, but there are limits.  You have a long talk with the Resurgent leader.  Once he discerns that you really will send them away rather than accept his condition, he relents, and you welcome the erstwhile Resurgents to Adastra with provisions and a small-scale feast.

Your Visibility is getting dangerously high.

Put her to death

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

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.

Aspic used to move in shady circles, and it shows.  His fighting style is dirty and practical, and that's how he teaches you to fight, too.  Amazingly, you keep up with him, and you leave with your head spinning -- and not only because it got boxed one too many times.

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.

            1
            You need Food 1 (you have 4)

            1

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?

            1
            You need Food 1 (you have 4)

            Unlocked with Food 1 - you have 4

            1
            Unlocked with Rhody's Level 1 - you have 2

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.


Detail orientation

Bratha's fluency in composing her message is mind-boggling; it's as though she's been planning it for weeks.  Her writing is precise -- not only does she know the exact number of days of rations Adastra has left, she can even lay out the vitamin deficiencies likely to be faced by the settlement if new food sources are not found.  Seth could hardly ask for more detail, though you suppose he might ask for more warmth.

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.
