Hey, so just to give a quick head's up: Division will be counted into the total score, and I'm only waiting for some other feedback regarding his weaknesses. Sorry, that it takes us a while, I was gone the whole weekend, and it's a busy time in general.

Ene is right, if you have an ability it will count into the points, because it is assumed generally, that your character will discover this ability at one point or the other. Would you like to edit your character sheet accordingly before I look it over?

You're right! I forgot about the thief! I hereby officially change my second vote to: [X] Visit the thief.

"Good morning, Zura." Sagitta forced a more or less friendly smile on her face. Zura wore a dark expression, as if she expected to be hurt or tortured any moment. "He is different." She told her softly, remembered her own fear. "He cares, and he won't hurt you, not willingly." She suspected, that Zura wouldn't trust her words, wouldn't even try to understand, to change her opinion and added "I know that you never wanted to end up here. But you heard his earlier order. I won't tell you to trust him, or myself, or Gati, that is a decision you have to make and it's something you have to come to a solution for yourself. You can stay here, expect them to cut you into pieces any moment and honestly, I can understand if that's what you think they'll do. But maybe you can find some peace in the fact, that you aren't chained, and that you had a room to yourself, free food and a place to clean up as well." @Lunamor @AonEne

I have to admit I wasn't. I'm sorry if I appeared that way, but I was actually quite calm.

Nym surprised Shana, when she discarded her weapon and got to her knees, pulled on her leg. With a yelp Shana lost her balance and started to fall. She used her other leg to kick at Nym's shoulder, hoping that she would hit something, and accepted that she had no way to stop from falling to the ground. The ground. Her last spar had ended on the ground as well. She gasped when she hit the hard floor with her back, and her breath was forced from her lungs. Pain shot through her backside and she bit her teeth to stop herself from groaning. She had fallen to the ground. Nothing more. She needed to get back to her feet. Slickening her leg, she pulled it from Nym's grasp. @Aragorn

I think we should visit Brightweave, ask him about the idea about improving the education in the city. I think, that if we play this right, then we don't need a formal proposal and can simply do this. [X] Visit Brightweave the Creative [Charm] Additionally I would like to find out some good spots, for first lessons. Not a full school, but maybe a hall or a building. I think about maybe starting this softly, with one day per week rotating trhoug hdifferent places, like an evening school type of thing. I would like to take Hera on this trip, as in my head our priests will play a vital role in the whole project. [X] Look for possible places to be used for educational purposes in the city

No. Come to the Forge, we're about to leave. It's moving at a slow pace, but we're still doing it. Please read through the ooc comments of the last few posts and give feedback to what is written in there.

Snake saw the two new ones and an idea crossed her mind. Vio was strong, stronger them he himself, but with some help, it might be possible. "Please, help us to catch him! He murdered someone and we are trying to find out who was behind the murder. We want to question him, to find those responsible." Her voice broke when she had to concentrate on moving Mike's body and talking, while she tried to get a good hold on Vio. He hadn't moved away after she bit into his arm, so she was close enough that she felt confident to give it a try. @FatherTiempo @Sunbringer

"I've been waiting for you to finish packing up." Althea replied and slowly waked over to where Corette was. "Did you think about a plan, an order you want us to keep while we continue exploring?" She asked the scoutleader, curious to see if Corette wanted to change something about the way they had acted to far. It had worked, but it also had ended up with a rather lax order, leading to the fact that they regularly left a few members of their group behind. If they faced another creature like the worm, this could mean a high number of losses, especially within those unable to escape quickly. @ZincAboutIt

Sorry Ark, but I disagree. Yes the weapons were an extreme example, so let's make a more logical one. Let's say a hazekiller, without any investiture. Expert with swords, expert scholarship (investiture) is over 100 points, without anything else. And then that guy maybe trained as an assassin to make it more likely to kill an invested person and suddenly we have something over 150 points in skills, that are completely reasonable. If you then picture that guy as someone who knows how to deal with basic wounds, and who maybe has a special gun as a weapon and is additionally rather intelligent, then we are close to 300 points with a logical character concept, without a single point in a magical skill at all. So in short: The points in skill don't say how skilled a character can be, they are only an ooc tool. If we allow for stronger characters, then yes, these characters can have more skills that aren't based on Investiture. Honestly to me it's more the other way round. If we aren't talking about Elantrians or Fullborn, then it is difficult to have a logical character concept that uses all these points up completely. (Hemalurgy is a way, but apart from that?) We agreed in this thread to double the points and yes, that meant that we double the 100 for skills or Investiture and we double the 50 to be used for Skills only.

Jessy nodded, stood next to him to lend support to his question.

Shana dove to the ground in a role, relieved that her repositioning had worked, now it depended on Edwin's reaction if the rest of her plan would work as well. The rapier grazed her shoulder and she hissed in pain when it drew blood, while Edwin missed her completely. She hoped that with her gone, his weapon would hit Nym in her place. She finished her role and got back to her feet, faced them again, blood dripping on the bare skin of her arm. A part of her brain danced happily when it realized that she was still holding her weapon in her hand, and a crazy idea crossed her mind. She had trained with Rob, why not use what she had learned while fighting him. Carefully she inhaled more stromlight, concentrated and then slicked her chest, to take the brunt of the two blows she planned to take.

I have to disagree here. We decided on a 1/3 skills only // 2/3 possible Investiture for a reason and it was nowhere mentioned in this thread, that we're changing the ratio for the prequel. So I think, that we should keep it. Additionally I don't really understand, why the skill level of these people should be the same than in Era 4. The points are only an ooc tool for us to rate a character, and how skilled a character is, is influenced by them. So if we allow stronger/ more skilled people, then of course the level for the non-investiture skills has to be higher as well, or the whole thing is pointless. An example. You could easily play a character who is an expert with nearly every weapon, which you can't in Era 4.

Fascinated Temeria reahed out for the glowing map in front of her. She had seen a few maps before, but it had been back on Roshar, and she tried to gauge where she was, which world the map was showing. She felt stupid, incredibly stupid when she realized that she couldn't, that she had no idea at all. The world was round and it glowed softly from the stormlight her sister had used. "Impressive." She replied without really looking away from it. "I've never seen something like this before." Wonder made her voice soft and her eyes lit up whlie she studied the glowing world in front of her. It reminded her of a fairy tale, a world where heros strived and villains fought and, there the ocean, maybe some pirates would live there, hiding , waiting for ships they could ransom. "Can you move it?" She asked fascinated and only looked away when the man approached their table again, respectfully nearly bowing in front of Aln. He asked if they had chosen, but even she could see that it was only an excuse to come over and look at the glowing wonder her sister had created. Temeria ordered dish number seven of the woman's menu only because she liked the number and she didn't want to start reading the menu now, when the waiter was already here and waiting.

Sagitta jerked awake when her door was opened, tried to remember if she had locked it or not. Tiredly she rubbed her eyes, looked at the guard without understanding what her said while waking up completely. Her leg throbbed slightly and she groaned when she pushed herself to her feet, hoped they didn't expect her to jump down any ladders today. She wasn't sure how to test her instinct without physical activity, but she pushed the thought away for the moment. It was something for later. She would deal with the situation as it came up. Lifting her arms she braided her hair back out of her face and then stood up, grabbed the crutch the healer had given her. It was embarressing, but she knew that the healer was right. If she got another infection in her leg she risked loosing it permanently and she definitely wanted to keep it. Limping out of the door she had to suppress a flinch every time the crutch hit the ground, the hard noise echoing strangly in the small room. It seemed loud, too loud, and she straightened her back, stared at the guard defiantly, until she finally looked away. In the hallway she stood, strong and straight while she waited for the others to exit their rooms as well. @Lunamor @Archer

============================= Shana watched them come at her and realized two things nearly immediatly. First, Nym was proficient with her blade, the way she held it, the way she moved spoke a telltale story of someone who started training years ago. Add the shardblade she had in her hand when she netered the training room to the mix, and Shana had an opponent that proved a challenge, especially if she reigned herself in. The second one, was that they did exactly the right thing. Move to both sides, far away from each other, so that she had to face one of them, while opening her guard for the other one. Excitement shot through her body, while her face turned earnest in concentration, when she stopped to think and started to act. Edwin's attack was aimed for her back, if she turned to face Nym. Good choice. Shana turned, accepted the blow to her back, when she brought her staff between herself and Nym, tried to stop the woman from getting to close. Pain blazed where the wood hit her, and she was grateful that they had decided on training weapons. Witha sharp blade, the hit would have opened her flesh to the bone, as it was it left nothing but an angry red welt and a dull pain whenever she bent the wrong way. Slickening her feet she quickly moved around Nym, to be able to see Edwin again. He could easily follow her, but if she stayed between them, it would be over soon. Feinting to her right, she used stormlight to add to the speed of her movement and then changed the course her staff took, aimed for Nym's left leg instead. @Eluvianii @Aragorn ================= "Of course." happily Mahad lost his shape for a moment, nothing but a cloud of ash for a moment, whirling around in excitement. "What kind of painting do you like?" He asked and thought of something he could make. "Like with colours or pencils, or..." he stopped himself, when he realized that his style of painting wasn't available to her. "What is your favorite animal?" ======================
