Seasonal Goals and Plans

Spring 515

1. Trip to Riverfall

Goals

Khida: education (The Sea of Grass/ecology, Caiyha/Phylonura, Kelvics)
Shahar: experience buildings & jump out a window
overall: network with Caelum & friends, develop relationship towards the 'underground railroad' idea (see long-term plots)

Logistics

Endrykas is closest to RF around Spring 10th (per RF calendar)
Leave Endrykas on the 5th
Arrive in Riverfall on the 7th
Camp either at Sanctuary (pasture) or a few miles out in the Sea
Expect to leave Riverfall around the 25th-30th

Threads and Events

Possible joint excursion to intercept slave caravan (30th Spring, Endrykas calendar)

Ongoing Plotlines

Near Term

1. Shahar and Rue

Shahar, Rue, and Khida need to have a serious conversation
Chevas mark edit (Rue adding flame?)
fallout from the Nightsong Pavilion?

Long Term

1. Earn official Pavilion designation

Build up reputation

- what are we known for now? probably not much...
- what do we want to be known for going forward?
- what will be the role of Dawnwhisper Pavilion in Endrykas?

Build up wealth/resources

- zibri herd
- additional horses? Could 'reclaim' Striders whose Pavilions have been lost over recent years.
- determining the long-term livelihood of the Pavilion may help direct this. Hunting/foraging? The Watch?

Pick a Clan to be associated with (Emerald?)
Be recognized by the Clan Ankal -- may require a gift of horses/livestock, ergo, stock is required first

2. Participate in and help build/maintain the 'Underground Railroad' with Caelum

establish Dawnwhisper Pavilion, complete with zibri herd
adopt some freed slaves to fill out the ranks
develop skills and status to spearhead efforts in the Sea (Webbing, Watch)

3. Acquire an ixam

In the Works

Summer: Jalen's slave brand & complications with the Lynint Dynasty

The Nightsong Pavilion (as it now stands in house):

Ankal

Achaius Nightsong
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Ankal of the Nightsong Pavilion
Stationary
Skills:
Body Building- 20
Riding- 10
Animal Husbandry- 15
Intimidation- 5

Standing at nearly 6 feet tall, the pavilion's Ankal might be considered short in stature, but he more than makes up for such a thing in presence. Age has distinguished the old Drykas, giving him an air of longstanding strength, and visible signs of past hardship. Finely dressed, and of a bold demeanor the rugged looking man has, by the looks of him, worked hard for the success he has.

Shahar kindly worked up a draft of the typical camp layout.
From top-left to bottom-right, this would be: Shahar's tent, Jalen's tent, Hope's tent, fuel pile, travois.

I have some information from Gossamer regarding the trip to RF and also establishing us as a Pavilion:

The Sancutary lets visiting Drykas camp on their pasture lands and there’s a great spot outside the gates or within one of the pastures in the walls if there are danger. Otherwise there’s not many places to camp outside RF because its all vinyards and orchards. You can camp within a few miles out on the Sea too. That’s fine. No fees, no matter what you post. Camping is fine.

You must pick a clan and they must accept you. Be that from who joins you or who accepts you, you’ll have to meet with [a Clan] Ankal in Endrykas and get recognized. The Pavilion name doesn’t matter. There might be a gift of horses or livestock involved to get the Ankal to recognize you as clan. Each clan has an Ankal that presides over all the pavilions. That’s the guy you need to contact, based on what clan. They are not established NPCS, but we can come up with some.

~~I'll update the main post later tonight.~~ Main post has been updated; see chiefly the current season and long-term plot tabs.

Votes on staying at Sanctuary vs. somewhere unaffiliated but farther out in the Sea?

As per discussion, this is a list of all possessions and equipment that are communally owned. Anyone can use them and they do not belong to any single person.

2 cooking pots, 2gal
pile of cloth scraps
3 bowls
50ft hemp rope
50ft thick hemp rope
50ft silk rope
cooking spoon
basket

Since we appear to have vastly outgrown these few items, there will be a lot of new things incoming. This list will be edited once the items are purchased.

by **Khida** on March 28th, 2015, 5:35 pm

I can add a section for this in the initial post, comparable to Khida's inventory, so that all the group stuff is in one place. We should include things like the sizes of the cooking pots (Khida's is 2 gal) and the basket (which I will have to look up), and brief descriptions so we're all describing the same item the same way.

Does anyone have suggestions or requests for things that should be communal?

by **Colt** on March 28th, 2015, 6:37 pm

This is my shopping list for the 4th. I can add whatever else anyone wants.

Projected items to procure :

by **Khida** on March 28th, 2015, 7:11 pm

Maybe a cooking kit, which includes basic seasonings? We might also consider some basic foodstuffs, beyond whatever travel rations each PC has. I could see adding some kind of flatbread/tortilla to the regular menu, which might mandate a griddle or other thin frying pan.

Cheesecloth or something similar, which actually is probably included in said kit. We can do basic farmer's cheese/paneer easily, and use the whey for soup/stew. I forgot to mention that regarding the goat (and any future zibri). That will also take some kind of acid, e.g. vinegar.

Do we keep a store of water beyond our waterskins? Do we want to?

A couple more baskets might be useful if we do any foraging, although that might be what you have the sacks for. Also, I don't think any of us have an actual cutting board yet...

Following up on the "what do we do with milk" question... here are some more possibilities. Sourced from here.

Yogurt (which itself has numerous uses), lasts longer than milk

Kashk or kurut, typically used in sauces and soups: "people drain the whey from yogurt and then dry it into spherical balls of chalk-white hard cheese known as kashk, a high-protein food with an indefinite shelf life"

Labne, similar to cream cheese: "yogurt is sometimes strained through a cloth to remove all the whey, then hand-rolled into small balls the size of ping-pong balls, known as labne. The labne are air-dried for several days until somewhat firm and can then be stored in containers of olive oil for a year or more without spoiling"

We could also do butter/buttermilk, various beverages. There's something similar to feta cheese which can be made from yogurt buttermilk. But butter, of course, requires a churn.
