OOC:
@Everyone: Oddly enough, I have the XP tracked as needing 300 points to hit 900. Oh well, we'll be at 900 at the start of next chapter, then? Also, how Tomas is gaining his experience will probably be more detailed in the private thread but I can probably summarize here.
@Arina: Is the Western Trading Company an organization from the Sapphire Isles? The "very lucrative work" she mentioned earlier, was that something which is occurring during this downtime or something that will occur in the new world?
Is there any dice gambling going on in this trading post? If he's doing some basic manual labor instead of "very lucrative work," would there be some money left over (since Tomas has had zero money since washing up on the shore) with which he could stand to lose or gain via Dice Set proficiency rolls (with the occasional Tides of Chaos thrown in there when the pot is really big and Tomas gets a bit stressed/hyperfocused)? If there is extra money, let me know what you'd like me to roll for the above circumstances.
@Herod and Saris: What do your two special magic items do? Would you share this info IC? Tomas's thing is some sort of sentient spellcasting focus that helped him not be an idiot and facilitates expressions of magic. He'd maybe share that info IC, depending on what you two would do.
Tomas, after signing the Western Trading Company's NDA, spent some time hunting for furs (OOC: perhaps with Sovelin?). When not working, he held many long talks with his magical item. In the mornings, in the afternoons, in the late night, talking to it, questioning it, learning from it. While he chose to not fully explore the strange feelings of arcane potential he had within him, he also did not resist those feelings as he once had, given his new, open mind, ready to be filled with knowledge. Nor did he practice any magic, not trusting the magic, himself, or perhaps considering the two one and the same. However, by not resisting his potential, he was able to pick up on how it felt when he had used magic to affect the world around him and what, exactly, he should do to consciously bring it to bear the next time. When not hunting, learning, sleeping, eating, or excreting - he spent his spare time pursuing ill-advised recreational activities.
