I have an Anadi player in the party. I dropped a hint about how they feel "like they are where they are supposed to be" as per suggestions from book 1 regarding Anadis. However, unless I am missing something, not much comes up regarding the strange pull the Vesicant Egg has on Anadi heroes nor the pacing that such pulls are made. I was curious what you have done or would suggest to do for Anadi heroes that drops hints without making it obvious or derailing part 1's storyline.
Additionally, I have begun reading book 2 and recognized a potential awkward spot; with Janatimo back at the Magaambya, he speaks with the party regarding the new Anadis on campus. I feel that this conversation would be made awkward by the presence of the Anadi PC and am quite sure that asking such intrusive questions regarding the Anadi's motives and how long they intend to stay can be rather unwelcoming. I had considered in some way or another cutting Janatimo's conversation out and using the Anadi party member as an in to their discussions in the tower, but am of course open to additional suggestions. What changes would you make to the starting pages of book 2 to account for the Anadi PC in the part?
TL;DR Anadi party member, what would you suggest the Vesicant's pull on the member to look like and how would you fit them into the investigation of the Anadis in book 2?
I have an Anadi in my party as well. I haven't been describing it as a "pull" as much as I've been describing it as "a feeling that you belong here", or "something just feels right about this place". I've mentioned this twice so far. First was when they were out delivering mail, on her return I mentioned that "you aren't quite sure how to describe it, but you feel at ease now that you are back home."
The second time the "feeling" presented itself was in a dream. "You have a dream about the academy. In this dream, you feel like you belong here. Almost as if Grandmother Spider [she worships her] herself wants you to be here".
When we get to book 2, I plan to have Janatimo ask her if she's felt any strange pull like the new Anadi claim and take it from there.
