B Had I known the boon came with a free vision I would have redoubled my whining effort to get the madness stone! Or maybe even switched votes to get the inferior timestones. Water under the bridge, I guess, and sour grapes aside: That was cool. We have a weapon with opinions now.

Ask the Sejin What was up with that missing pedestal? Do all the pedestals represent something unique? Can I learn to speak to Alnaar Alramh? Who was the man made of smoke I saw at the forge? A Djinni? Who was the woman wielding Alnaar? What is the name of the creature made of pure fire and molten rock that she fought? What is the story of that city made of glass spires? Also, I just realized how bold it was for us to take something fire aspected even though we still have nightmares about getting burned. gently caress you fire we've got our own now.

A No reason to believe a nefarious maybe-ifrit. Let’s spill the beans and trust our mentor. Dang, after seeing the vision and abilities with the spear now I really wish we got those runestones (or the mystery stone). Boonoo fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Dec 16, 2017 |

B Does the spearhead have a shaft? If not we should ask the Sejin to help us find a good stave to make a shaft for it and then we should do all the work to make it nice. Maybe put a bow on there, some ribbons.... 100 HOGS AGREE fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Dec 16, 2017 |

There Bias Two posted:Also, tell me about the Djinni. "Of course." the Sejin nods, as if its a natural question. "When I speak of the Djinni, I am actually referring to the Greater Djinni, there are also what are known as 'wild' or 'lesser' Djinni, and often time ancient stories will not make a distinction between the two, leaving it to the listener to figure out which they may be referring to. Lesser Djinni are wild spirits of the sands, magical, powerful and dangerous and it is the mark of a true Binder to be able to subjugate one. Greater Djinni are... something else entirely. They're ancient, truly ancient beings from The Realms Beyond. In the dawn of time, when men were still wild, and lived short and dangerous lives, the Djinni offered them magic and a chance to make their lives better, in exchange for serving as their conduit into our world. So were born the Magi and the Kings of old..." the Sejin pauses, "Or at least so say the stories, which are all we have to go off of. The Djinni offered my people the gift of magic, that much is known for sure, and forever immortalized in the Ritual of the Gifts which you just underwent, their motives, and their goals are always mysterious, but they are at least in part concerned with keeping a balance in the world, between spirits and mortals." Dr Subterfuge posted:What was up with that missing pedestal? Dr Subterfuge posted:Do all the pedestals represent something unique? "Yes, there are two altars for each discipline. Two for kings, the altar of the healer and the altar of the summoner, the chalice and the hawk in this case, two for Magi, the runestones and the black stone, representing the scholar and the seer. Two for the Sejin, the traveler and the warrior, the snake pendant and the spear." Dr Subterfuge posted:Can I learn to speak to Alnaar Alramh?

It doesn't, but you get the feeling that if you will it to have one, it will? There will be a cost in magical energy, but not so much as to fully deplete your available magical energy.

b interesting coincidence, maybe, but we are literally scarred The first thing we should make isn't a shaft but a cover for the spear head, to keep from accidentally cutting ourselves and to hide it from normals. Prob should make it from something we actually defeat but even if not we should do that before we hit the next town

B Question: What can I do to increase my magical potential? Alnaar Alramh (my spear) will kill me if I lack the power to use it. Question: Do you know of what my spearhead is capable of? What can your snake pendant do, if that's the Djinni blessing you chose? Question: Who was the one that guided you through your own Rite of Shaeira?

What would I have been able to do if I have taken the Hawk or the Bag of Stones? Those were the two other items that interested me the most. Why do I feel like I have a 3rd eye and 3rd arm now? It is... not unpleasant, master?

Why is it that you can tell me about the ritual but I can't tell others? I'm not going to! I'm just curious. Why didn't you tell me what the different things did? Why do they represent kings, sejin and magi? Are those things important? Are Mustahdir not important? Is that why they're gone? Is it like the kings, sejin and magi? Is the spearhead similar to the little obelisk or the pendant?

Hexenritter posted:"Can you tell me about your teacher, or will it make you sad? If it does, I'm sorry Sejin" "I can tell you about him. When I met him he was very old, his beard was white, and he was very very grumpy, although he tried to hide it, I know he enjoyed teaching more than anything else in life, and although I was his only apprentice, he often taught others of the many things he knew. He put up with me, and all the many questions I asked him. His passion was binding. Especially binding spirits of the deep earth, and he taught me everything I know about binding and summoning. The little obelisk was a gift from him, when I finished my training, before I left to travel the world. I think he was a little disappointed that I was a much poorer binder than he was. He was a strange man, but we had many good times together, and I remember him fondly. Without him, I would have certainly not become a Sejin, and I'd be dead many times over." he smiles.
