Rest results: Remember, some of this is player knowledge and not always known by the character.
Khoren: After two days stuck in this white room, Khoren is antsey to move on. The cards, thrown at the portal bounce off the shield that now surrounds it. The shield sparkles as it is hit.
Over the day, Khoren notices that the shield has sparked a few times, even though nothing seemed to be touching it.
Khoren does notice his hedge magic here seemed to work better and faster. Cleaning an area (for whatever reason) was almost instant. For example, when he started cleaning a cypher, he would start from the top and work his way down, almost with a swipe. He would get half down and noticed that the bottom was clean. After a few attempts, it appeared when he started from the top or the left, something else started from the bottom or right. And even though he knew how not to expend energy on it (had an edge), it was even easier for him.
At one point, he noticed Utazó carving into the walls with her dagger. He was appauled that she would resort to graffitti and was getting ready to use his enhanced skill to repair the damage when he saw the scratches repair themselves. He poitned to Utazó and she nodded that she already knew it. She even used her dagger to produce a drop of blood and smear it on the wall only to see it disappear.
Finally, he stands up and moves to a corner. He draws the commanders sword and starts testing its balance, easy of use and finds it is lighter and seems to work well in both hands. Yui steps up and offers to spar a little. Yui finds it harder to defend against the attacks and a few slip through. The blade is sharp and finds flesh a few times. The first time, Khoren offers an apology and
Yui shrugs it off, "Zigged when I should have zagged". The next few times, the blade finds its mark. Khoren stops, "This is a fine blade".
Benefit: Choose a sword fighting skill and add it to your character sheet as trained. Yui, while getting hit, added to your training. If you are trained, you are now specialized.
Yui: Yui is getting bored and after some time, steps up to Khoren who is swigning the commanders sword and asks to practice sparing. Yui draws her Wakizashi. Khoren and Yui dance around for a few moments before he sees an opening and makes contact. The sword is sharp and even though Yui could tell Khoren was holding his attack, it still drew blood. "Hey! Careful! I am on your side".
Setting up again, they thurst and parry each other when Khoren draw more blood. Khoren apologizes and Yui replaies, "If THAT is how you want to play" and takes a defensive stance. She deflects some very good hits, but Khoren finds a small hole and the blade sings past and draws more blood. Yui stops, (3 hits total, for 6 dmg to Yui - It will heal by the end of your rest period)
Having enough fighting, Yui bows to Khoren and steps over to Tara. She sits down, not waiting for permission and starts talking. She asks Tara to share her past. Yui suggest to Darazen who has his head in his books that it might be a good idea to go back through the portal to get water. It appears to Yui that she is being ignored and she reaches out and takes Darazens book to get his attention.
Benefit: Choose a social skill and add it to your character sheet as trained. If you are trained, you are now specialized.
Utazó : Utazó thinks back to her first trip through the portal. In her mind, she sees the hallway and it looks different. The outside looks similar, but she did not take a great deal of time to study it. Still, there are minor things and she is certain this is a different room that the first one.
Her thoughts are interupted when she hears Darazen ask about her past. She puts her thoughts aside. She does not like to talk about herself, but having little else to do, she shares what she wants. She pauses for a moment and abscent-mindedly carves a pattern into the wall that her father taught her. Just as she finishes it, it starts to disappear. "Anyway, when Phyrel's was looking for a scout a few years back I was a shoe-in for the job. My father's friends' recommendations were taken very seriously by Mr. Phyrel..."
Benefit: Choose (or create thru PMs with the GM) a skill in symbology and add it to your character sheet as trained. If you are trained, you are now specialized.
Darazen : Asking Utazó about her past, he listens intently. He finds her story fascinating. She sees her using her dagger to carve into the wall, and notices it seems to disappear or fill in after a few moments. When she pauses, his atention is drawn to her face as she seems to stare into the distance. He wonders what is going through her mind. The scraping of her dagger draws his eyes and he sees a symbol formed on the wall byt the tip of her dagger. Her hand stops and as she continues, the symbol fades.
He looks up and she is focused on him now. She asked something and he can tell she is expecting a response. "What was it? What did she... she must have asked me to reciprocate." He looks past her to keep from getting distracted and answers her, telling how he got here and how he is now questioning his decision and how he feels some fear for his own safety.
Benefit: Choose a history skill, specifying a "history in ...." and add it to your character sheet as trained. If you are trained, you are now specialized.
Tara: Tara answers Yui's query and feels herself recenter. She asks Yui how she came to be here and invites her to join her in a bit of hand to hand sparring. Tara moves to a space in the room and starts to stretch and perform poses and she was taught. Yui comes over and says, "After the beating from Khoren, I am going to refrain from sparring." Instead, she starts to do her own posing and stretching. After an hour or so, you start sharing combat moves, defensive moves and general styles.
Benefit: Choose a hand to hand combat or a balancing skill (be specific) and add it to your character sheet as trained. If you are trained, you are now specialized.
Vult: Moves to a corner and covers himself in his cloak. Before long, a light snore can be heard, but only for a moment. The sound seems to change and it blends into the white noise of the room.
Benefit: Check your PM.
You all may continue to talk amongst yourselves. There is no clock or time piece in this room and the sun appears to move differently here, as does that blue/white moon.
Khoren and Yui do a little sparring, utnil Yui gets make because she feels Khoren was not pulling his punches. Several of you shared your histories and others made some observations.
After what you feeling is two days, you are all rested and "restored". Utazó tells the party that she found another room and it appeared to be clear when she was there, but Darazen called her back. It had a panel whose light was flickering above the door. It read "Rememdium", or something like that.
Looking through the door panel, the hall looks clear. Yui reminds Darazen and the rest of the party that they are low on water and food stuffs.
