...He reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a small puppet, no bigger than his palm. A finely made creation, made of steel wires that connect pieces of sterling silver covered in chiseled whorls. You wonder how such a thing survived the chaos of the night.

The head is disconnected, fine wire snapped... [/b]

Gull nods at Albert's words, and goes directly to Edmund. After the priest is done with his prayers, the boy approaches politely. He holds out the delicate puppet. "Mr. Edmund, Professor Albert thought you could help fix her. She died when Moon came."

Edmund, in case you missed this on the previous page.

Thank you

"Of course" Edmund says as he turns his attention to the boy"For the hero of the day nothing is too good." he continues.

He takes the doll and thinks a moment of how best to work on it, eventually settling on a simple prayer of mending "Bydded i'r darnau gwasgaredig hyn gael eu hadfer yn gyfan" he quickly murmurs as he holds the doll.

Small metal filaments reach out from the body towards the head reattaching it.

Edmund does his best to keep his wits about him as they move. He takes up point near the front of the group. At the sight of all the carrion he shudders slightly but keeps his head down until Zephyr moves forward.

Edmund was taken aback slightly by Drooks refusal to divulge his question early in the morning but the watch presses on.

As the peaklight of bright streaked over the horizon Edmund sounds the morning off with a hammer blow to his anvil ringing across the camp and the shouted "Bydded yr ergyd hon yr olaf a gymmerwyd heb waradwydd" That those who worked with him often heard him say. He then kneels down down and begins his prayers asking for guidance from his forge.

As part of preparation I'll cast a Lay of the Land and an Augury on taking the path west today

Yes! currently catching up should have a post within an hour or so!

I was reading through all the backstories and got excited about them so I figured I’d put together an easy list with a one line description of each character!

Aleks Vane: A haunted human psychic endlessly seeking vengeance for a long past horrible wrong.
Brias: a “human” witch healer who helps all those who seek him in the Shudderwood taken aback by the changes to it.
Fulk the Red: A half-orc draconic sorcerer who has been cast out of every home he knew searching for a place to belong.
Idari-lucien: A Tiefling Wizard taken in by the Green Faith on a new mission.
Mauhul and Halmash: An Orc Shifter chosen by the god of death to protect their sanctity joined by a corrupting Worg
Professor Rokannon: A human wizard who has long served as an academic exclusively pushed by the death of a friend to do field work.
Smaranda Zografu: A Dhampir Monk who’s early life in the slums of Ardis harderned her well past the point that would break many others.
Tristan Luckbringer: A human bard of Desna safeguarding the forest for travelers of all sorts.
Victor Vladimirovich Khrabrov: A human magus with a blade under the influence of the Abyss.

Lots of really interesting concepts, Good luck everyone and have a good holiday GM!

Sorry for the delay, I have been swamped at work.

Ears of the City seems very thematic for Edmund so he definitely would have used that in preparation, though his low diplomacy likely means it would have been hard to get good information. Edmund wouldn't disguise his faith too much but also doesn't insist on wearing it on his sleeve, he'd cover up his holy symbols and such.

In addition other spells I'd have used before leaving

A series of Auguries on taking the group to different locations.

Clairvoyance on the areas around the city to scout things out.

Thats what I can think of immediately!

”let’s keep this non-lethal” canary quickly spits out with a glance at OMAX.

for now I’m going to hold, wait to see if they surrender

Also intrested! I feel like something occult would fit well here but I’m not set on what yet! More later!

"I wouldn't for now." Edward starts "Better to save the preparation for a known threat than risk wasting them on what may well be non threat." He looks over to Zeph to make sure he will keep the group in line before nodding to Al and starting over

edit: got Ninja'd a bit and then the website ate my update so sorry for the delay but I'll expand a little here

As the pair start over to the young sylph Edmund turns to Al and says "I think I can carve out the ice around his feet but my sword isn't well suited to such a fine task, may I borrow your dagger well you try to heal the boy frost?"

The plan is to use Crafter's Wrath which allows a touched weapon to bypass hardness and DR of objects and constructs for one minute. Then use the dagger to carve out the boy's feet as Crafter's wrath should allow much less brute force to be required. Assuming all that works in theory I will give a bit of narration below.

Edmund is rarely seen outside of his armor and now is no exception. Currently he has his full suit on with the exception of his helmet. In his sabatons he stands around 6'5". Without his helmet on his head looks slightly strange as it is dwarfed by the massive armor around it. his skin is light blue and he has black hair framing his face. the armor itself is mithril with filigree depicting the Silver-Bringer helping the Ifrits and Sylphs to harness the power of Mithril and Celerity on his torso. In addition to this slightly apocraphal scene there is a scene of the warriors of Forge clearing a path of light though the darkness on his legs. In battle he largely looks the same save for his face which is covered by a Armet with a plume of silver feathers.

As they are preparing to leave Edmund looks around to help gather everything the group may need on a long and dangerous trip
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Sorry, I’ve been a bit busy recently. Wrapping up my last finals before I graduate college after this weekend. I should be more available.

Ha, that makes 3 of us! I’m wrapping up my last finals before I graduate college so should be more available after this weekend!

Edmund had awoken rather late that day having intended to work thought the a third night on a prototype scavenger homunculus golem but finally succumbed to fatigue. He had not intended to sleep so had not set anyone to come awaken him so it wasn't until the passing of the 10th candle that a rather inattentive aid of his named Fredrik came in to check on his progress to find him asleep on his worktable with a half finished Silver construct occasionally twitching with celerity by his head.

Edmund woke with a start as Fredrik entered the room murmuring "Oh I'm sorry to bother you sir." as he noticed the less than active look of his master. as Edmund jolted to a standing position he took a moment looked over and responded "No bother at all Fredrik, my apologies for my appearance I think I may have dosed off for a moment there. Do you happen to know the candle?" Fredrik paused a moment checking a timepiece in the hall before calling back "10 Driblets past 10." after a moment of realization Edmund mutters "Mac soith, Al is going to kill me, we were supposed to meet to discuss his new designs this morning."

Edmund brushed past Fredrik as he apologized for needing to leave he made his way though their makeshift hovel and squeezed though what used to be a doorway to get out of his quarters and into the main hall which he briskly strutted down to get to the mess hall. He entered a few Driblets after Drook and rushed over to Al before he noticed the dour abidance and blurted out "Sorry, I really split the ores here Al."

Sorry been a bit busy and didn't have time to put together a worthy initial post for a bit there, but I'm writing one up that I should post within a half hour or so!

Here are initial thoughts from me!

1: Agreements Edmund thinks of himself as bridging the gaps between Zephyr and Al. He likes to think that he has an understanding of the properties of alchemy if not the same level of expertise as Al, he also however can see the powers offered by the gods even in death. Edmund tries to right these two worldviews where he can offering deference to the gods in order to help his own and Elenkind’s technological progress. Edmund agrees with Al that the goal of alchemy ought to be forwarding the world.

2: Disagreements Edmunds biggest disagreement with Al is on what ought to motivate progress. though they share the same end goal of a better world Edmunds underprivileged background causes him to be motivated by economic gain and social fame more than Al he stockpiles resources because of the potential of a catastrophe. Edmund’s biggest disagreement with Zephyr is in the nature of Sky. Though the powers Zephyr has been granted are undeniable Edmund finds it somewhat laughable that Sky is still here, he sees Zephyr’s powers as a last echo of the dead gods power, though he mostly keeps to himself about his doubts.

3: Trust Edmund always was fairly quick to trust as he tried to see the best in people, however after Moonfall and especially after the Silver-Bringer was revealed to be Moon in disguise he began to re-evaluate his relationships. Edmund still regards Al as one of his closest friends as he helped to get Ed into the makers (Ed is younger so I was thinking that he might have been one of Als students when he was a tutor) Zephyr he is a little more wary of, though he shares many values Ed has begun to fear that if Silver-Bringer was in truth Moon that this manifestation of Sky’s power may also be Moon in disguise.

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for letting me join you! I've spent the past couple of days catching up on some of the story (so far back a year or so) and am super excited to join in.

Also question for the M&M savants, is there any way to do a power like protection for the other defenses? Its purely flavor where it comes from but I'd like a bonus to dodge from a power rather than a baseline increase.
