Barley nods at the elven spirit and then looks at the pillars and tools. He picks up a set and moves towards one of the pillars with half finished stone work.
He glances at Rhidon who is starting to work.
"Rhidon doesn't seem to be in any danger. If work is what you want, I suppose I could oblige, but what to build?", he thinks to himself then looks at the black steel triangle for any sort of clue what to build.
He examines the markings then starts to work.

OOC:
I'm looking to see if there are plans or anything on the big triangle in the center, then starting to craft. I'm pretty sure Barley isn't any good at sculpting, so I'll roll at disadvantage. Last edited Nov 28, 2023 12:39 pm

I did not ask for a roll, but it was nice of you to be reactive. Basicly the "urge" was simply a spiritual request that you refused to compy with, not a compulsion or spell of any kind. Nov 28, 2023 3:04 pm
Vaun started to look for some tools and an empty stone, which he started hammering, hoping to bring out some kind of shape, completely oblivious to what others were doing. He started chipping away with careful handling until he made a miniature-looking man in a sleeping position the size of his fist. Once satisfied, he looked at others who were working and suddenly realised that this was not their main objective. He snapped out of it and said, "Come on, everyone, this is not the time to build something! We need to find the Heartwood chamber."

Time passes and after some effort three items are finished. Two are wonderous to behold and contain all the grace and beauty of the other nearby already finished products. Vaun's creation causes a murmur to pass through the whispers as he finishes. Rhidon seems to struggle and the whispers fail to make sence half of the tim confusing him as much as helping him resulting in a less than wonderous result. Barley easily communes with the kindred spirits and is able to produce a items touched with magic in subtle ways so it nearly feels alive.
Beruga attempts to commune with the spirit, its mournful glances at the central tree conveys to her the spirit is aware of the trouble, but it's downcast head afterwards and the feeling of sorrow and loss is all she gets. Only when he stares at the three crafting their items does a spark of hope return.
As the items are completed the two well crafted items glow brightly and you see two spirits step into the light out of thin air, grab the item and fade into nothing as they smile. A whisp of the light flits to Vaun and Barley landing on their right hand leaving a small mark. The original specter bows low to all three that moved to craft items and fades as well leaving 3 small tokens that glow green and fly to the hands of Rhidon, Vaun, and Barley affixing themselves to you left shoulder. As the ghost fades you feel knowledge of the rewards enter your minds though you do not fully understand them.Stillness returns to the marketplace and you gather your things to continue on feeling that the city is a bit less sinister.

[ +- ] 3x Craftsmen's Token

"Thank you friends.", Barley says looking at his shoulder. "No time to marvel.", he thinks ans quickly he makes rubbings of whatever he can in the site.
"That was interesting, no? I wonder what other wonders are ahead.", he says to all once done.

OOC:
Can we distribute the 2 Mark of Craft between us or are they only for Vaun and Barley?Nov 29, 2023 1:29 pm
The tokens are simple brooches' and can be distributed as you wish, the marks are temporary tattoos.
Nov 29, 2023 4:38 pm
Vaun wasn't expecting the spirits to give him a magical boon. Perhaps it was really important in helping and exploring the sections of the city through and through. He watched the tattoo appear on his arm and marvelled at it. It was some kind of arcane art that he needed to study more about. Once everything went back to normal, he gave one of the tokens to Rhidon and said, "This is interesting; may be we should interact more with the spirits here to know more? Here, take this token, my friend. We need to find one for you too, Beruga. Let's proceed with the path we planned before to reach our next destination."

Beruga glances behind at the untouched painting she had refused to complete. Probably for the best - I dont exactly have an artistic hand. Still, it can't hurt to make friends with the people who live here. I'll look out for other ways I can help them out.

You continue west then cross the river on an expansive bridge of stone and living wood. The southern bank is much like the north but this area has smaller more humble buildings. As you make your way towards the tree you hear a faint tapping sound from behind a simple Wooden Door

Has Barley opened up a psychic link with Beruga?Nov 30, 2023 4:12 am
OOC:
Out of combat I see no reason you can't have worked out a hand sign or something indicating you wish silent communication with Barley. But in combat or hectic situations Barley will have to declare if/who he is in contact withNov 30, 2023 12:26 pm
OOC:
No Barley hasn't, not yet. In combat/hetic situations - That's good to know. Barley takes out a parchment paper, quickly scrawls on it and holds it up for Berulga to read.
Berulga and the others see in big block letters, "Please keep quiet. I can communicate with the other's psychically. Do I have you're permission to do so? One nod for yes, two nods for no."
Then, Barley turns his head looking at the door. He closes his eyes and reaches out with his mind, searching for any sort of intelligence behind the door.

Barley senses something behind th door that is . . . odd. Unfortunately Barley is unable to get any more than that it is alive and has a mind.

Barley can telepathically project to multiple targets in range and once in contact can listen to all as well. Dec 1, 2023 6:56 am
Beruga stares at Barley's sign for some time unable to comprehend most of the words. After a while, she nods her head, not quite certain what it is she is agreeing to.
While Barley is preoccupied, Beruga will cautiously approach the door and start sniffing underneath to see what she can gather.

Vaun took a look at Barley's sign and nodded once. He then stood arms crossed over his chest, waiting for his answer about whether he could sense someone on the other side of the door.
Dec 1, 2023 12:24 pm
Barley silently gestures to Berulga to fall back, then gestures everyone to gather round.
Quietly very quietly he says, "There is something strange behind the door. It's alive and it has a mind, but I can't grasp the nature of it. I suggest we proceed with caution if we want to investigate and be ready for anything.
Berulga, I can talk to the others with my mind."
"Like this", Barley thinks to Berulga.
Then he whispers out loud "I didn't want to startle you by speaking directly to your mind earlier. If I have your permission, I'd like to connect you to the others now. It's useful in these situations. Once connected, you can tell us what your nose told you."

Alazyboy, Barley is psychic. If you see bold italics,"Like so", Barley is using his mind to speak.load next
