Kleys says: "I would also like to participate in this learning."

Mak will go into Bodach during the day to see if he can fetch his stone of Continual Darkness. He'll use his stone of Continual Light to negate it's effects so he can find it and pick it up, placing them both in his pouch before returning to camp.

In the evenings, he'll sit atop the wall next to their camp and watch the residents of Bodach war against themselves, trying to make sense of this place.

If any of the more conversational undead are around he'll ask the question. "Why do you war against yourselves each night?"

- Kem feels curiosity to visit the city - Could I go with you next time Mak? - Asks when the halfling returns before the druid asks such an interesting question to Lawmaker Odrella

Mak nods to Kem. "How about tomorrow we walk about the city? We'll start at Sunrise and see as much as we can see before sunset."

Shardivan replies, <"Ask it if any of their kind still kept to either of the Ledopolus' in guise of a humanoid or other form, if you haven't already. Other than that, I do not view them as an immediate threat.">

The undead masters of Bodach will take leave. Your friends that end up staying behind will be taken to their new duties when you decide to depart.

During the day, unless you openly break a law of the city, you will be left alone. At night? I wouldn't wander about inside the walls proper.

The darkness stone is easily found during the day. It takes some guesswork to find the center and the actual orb... but it's no impossible task.

The broken city itself is a sprawling ruin, much larger than any you're accustomed to seeing. While it's hard to judge the exact scale, you figure that in it's prime it may've been one and a half times the size of Balic. It's also hard to judge the scope of any outside villages or extended ruins outside the walls. Your guess is whatever war that occurred when Bodach fell caused much local destruction.

Every night will cause a repeat of the scene from the previous evening. Animals scatter out the walls. The dead awaken stiffly among the purple-green mists. Then begins a now well-rehearsed dance of death, shrill death-whistles and general ordered chaos. Ordered chaos. So odd. Not natural at all and unnerving when thought upon too long.

OOC: Unless you decide to take offense to an undead creature within the walls at night or poke inside buildings... you will be left alone for the week. If you want to train proficiencies? We can do that. Spells cast every day? Sure. Gimme a list for the week of all such goals and I'll summarize.

((Mak will take a preserved apple from his satchel, stick it in the ground, cover it and cast Age Plant (Lv.4) to grow it into a full sized apple tree full of fruit.

Mak will cast Create Water (Lv. 1) twice and Clear Water (Lv. 2) once each day to make sure the party has sufficient water rations. He'll cast Ripen (Lv. 1) on the tree as needed to make sure there are enough apples to keep the party well fed. Each night he'll cast Nap (Lv. 2) on himself and anyone else so that 1 hour of sleep will be enough.

He'll spend the rest of his time communing with nature locally in an attempt to make contact with the local spirit of the land, and sitting on the wall at night to watch the battles for any patterns. Since Laakh is busy teaching the psionic skill of Contact with another, Mak will put off this training for another day.))

One skill per teacher over the week, but if you decide to teach to multiple characters? Tell me, it'll possibly affect the difficulty.

So like Kem could teach how to be proficient in one weapon to the crew that she's specialized in. Like singing sticks and I think wrist razor (one other)?

She could learn contact from a psion in the same time.

And if another teaching proficient PC had a class? She could attempt to learn that...

and so on.

Kleys will spend the week learning Contact, and teaching the Teaching NWP to all who would learn. (OoC, I'll update his Char sheet in the morning.)

[Niachi]

Laakh has started teaching Kleys how to learn Contact as a NWP.  1st day complete. Can try 1 more student the next morn but they need 7 days. 

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Looking to Laakh teaching Kleys, Kem get closer to the first one after they finish - Could you please teach me how to be better prepared against psionic intrusion? Or could someone else teach me? Perhaps HurK? - As she looks towards HurK

[OOC: Kem will spend the week learning Contact - if possible -, teaching others any of her NWP and visiting inside Bodach, more as a curiosity, looking the kind of ruined stablishments by any building symbol or marks to guess the type of trade that was common by then, but without stepping in, as requested by the lawmakers]

Bob, since HurK doesn't have the teaching NWP, could be Laakh's teachers assistant in his contact instructions to Kem & Kleys?

[DM Bob]

I will definitely allow more than one person to be taught at once. Much akin to the warrior's training of weapon proficiency to a group. So what Alex said earlier with Laahk? There's no need to teach one PC at a time.

Kri-kcht will keep on working on his new Bola. Tanning, drying and finally braiding. Three balls are made from Dasl and attached to the braids. He practices with them while hunting outside the city.
