If you want to continue on to the tavern, @Invocation and I are still there. We can time-skip so that it's morning, and we've met (presumably the previous night), and are hanging out. The tavern owner is going to be asking about her runner boy, so someone will need to be there to start putting together the disappearance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come and enjoy breakfast with Aldred. Also, since you were the last people in the RP to see the little boy, you may have some input on where he could have gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, unsure whether or not I'm going to make him dead, I might NPC him to give some kind of idea of what's hunting people. Either way, Fritz is absent from duty and the tavern owner will be asking Aldred to go look for him eventually.

The ley lines are like rivers and the places where they cross (ley nodes) are like lakes. Though it's best to see this as an analogy, not as something you can actually see in the spiritual or cognitive realm. Places that aren't on a ley line will still have some ambient investure I guess, but things don't manifest as quickly as on ley nodes (ley lines also don't really influence stuff, the Investure flows too much).

So indoor or outdoor options are available, depending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Invocation Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Whenever Aldred is asked to help find the kid, make sure either Aldred comes and gets Janim or Janim can overhear, because that's pretty much an irresistible pull to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make sure they are involved in the hearing! I'm thinking once everyone starts filtering back, it'll be closer to midday, and Liezl will be getting genuinely worried about where the kid is, instead of just annoyed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lines are like rivers, and the nodes are like lakes, then is there an ocean analog? If not, where does the power flow to? What makes it flow to specific locations in the first place? How many people live on high-power ley lines? How much power differential is there, really? Do any ley lines flow through Roshek? Sorry for all the questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any ley lines flow through Roshek? Sorry for all the questions. I don't think there's really an ocean analog. The power doesn't really flow to or from any specific place, it just flows around, feeding into different ley lines, which in turn feed back into the original ley lines. The only way Investure is removed from the ley lines is if it manifests in the physical world, either through creating Natural magic things or forming Crystals. And when those are destroyed or used, the power would just flow back into the nearest ley line. As for people living on ley lines, probably a fair amount, given that ley lines tend to follow natural land marks and locations with a lot of life, but they wouldn't really notice it (except for Yin Innates), since the ley lines can't manifest any effects. As for power differential, I'd say the center of the ley line (at least for the powerful ones) would probably have a large differential with areas without ley lines (or those with only small ones), but I'd say they probably cover a large area, spreading out the power and making it taper off gradually. As for Roshek, probably, since it's on a big river. Again, normally there wouldn't be any noticeable effects though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be very interested especially since he doesn't have too much experience with Ritualists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
