  • [X] Plan All Work and Play
    -[X] Case III: The Riddle of Riddle - Digging through the archives for so long has given you a good grasp as to who walked these floors in the last two hundred years. There were mentions of someone, you still remembered. There had been some records history of one of the greatest minds that walked this castle, maybe not as special as Sally-Anne or even Dumbledore, but still … Who was he? (2 Actions)
    -[X] Quidditch Round 2, Hufflepuff vs Slytherin – It's time for the second game of the year and while you have a lot of things that you'd like to focus on, most of the school will be present here. Go and watch the Quidditch Game. It could be interesting and if it is not, well you will be high enough up to watch the clouds instead.
    -[X] Random Encounter – Just… Go and live your life. You don't need to plan everything in your life out.
    -[X] Write a Letter (Free Action) – to Parents regarding the last month and what he has learned
    -[X] Stage II, Dreams of old (Takes 2 Actions) – Coming back into the years of unrelenting war. Basques and Valentino want to go scouting and skirmish the attacker that have been gathering for a month outside their borders. While her older brother wants to keep her far from harm, she is as much a child of their ancestors as he is. No one will be allowed to destroy what her father and her father's father build in these lands

    -[X] Business School of Hogsmeade (Multiple Actions on this count as multiple rolls stacking) – This is the first year, in which you can go to Hogsmeade. Good that you've been planning for this since first year: Buy Books, Ingredients, Joke Shop Articles, Instruments and other things. Go and look, if you can make some money by buying things for first and second years. Roll for how many are interested and then for how much they want to spend. Take 15% of their spending as a fee.
    -[X] Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea I – The fairly large Great Lake to the south of the main building has always been your most favorite part of Hogwarts' surrounding lands. It was breathtaking how beautiful it was on a sunny day and frightening how dark it could get at night, almost looking like a hole in the fabric of the world. At the beginning of your year you glimpsed at something that had broken through the surface, making you realize how shallow your world view had been. Find a way to get below the water and discover what is below. (Takes 3 Actions, can't be taken in the same month as Break through your Horizon and What hides behind trees.)

    - [X] Break through your Horizon I – Hogwarts is built in a valley area — surrounding mountains are part of the landscape. You had always wondered about them, because they were your daily horizon. Usually there would not have been enough time for you to get there, wander around to explore the lands and come back in time for curfew. Having access to a broom would have helped you, but now that you had secret exits out of Hogwarts… the horizon was not your limit anymore. Use the unknown passageway in the north end of the castle.

I just saw the tally.

[] Plan Coalition includes x2 training for potion and intelligence, not just one. Probably a formatting error on my part that has (hopefully) been fixed.
 
[X] Plan Coalition

I like this as it gets our character to be more social, and we've had constant references to him being friendless and lonely and incapable of basic interactions even where itd help him. I don't even think anyone is aware of what happened to him with the dementors which clearly isn't healthy.
 
[X] Plan All Work and Play

I want to take the case, and this plan also gives us a wide variety of social actions, so I´m switching votes.

[X] Plan Coalition

I agree with this plan the most. I'd rather have 2 actions at training DADA over Potions but, I can see the appeal of being good at potions two.

And this one is perhaps the best to prepare for the Expecto Patronum spell. The chance for a trait for only a DC 300 along with a useful spell like this one should be a no brainer.

I just hope that we don't derail canon enough for Lupin to leave Hogwarts before the end of the year.
 
[X] Plan All Work and Play
I know that some people are weary of Quidditch scenes, but it is a great social option even if it might be a bit overwhelming for Jacob. Perhaps the fact that this is not a Ravenclaw's match will keep our housemates more subdue and the entire event will be less difficult for him to handle.
It would be a good opportunity for checking up with people we don't share classes with like Neil Nuts (older Gryffindor), Melinda Bobbin (big mom energy Hufflepuff) and Theodore Nott (aka surviving trauma with the help of bunnyhood, from Slytherin). Having this event go smoothly might help with the bad associations of last match.

Not completely related, but I might post later a list of known students Jacob interacted with.
 
[X] Plan All Work and Play

We need to keep learning spells if we want to keep up with both the dueling club and anything else that might pop up.
 
Guys, we need to learn spells for Dueling Club and get to work on the mandatory spells and potions. Not the elective classes and attempts at getting everything to the soft caps at the end of the year. Seriously, we still have seven more months after this vote to train our skills and attributes. So how about instead of ditching and forgetting about the end of year exams stuff, we try learning some of them instead?

Because doing this will make the future rolls on them more efficient?
 
You know what I see when I read that? I see 'We will not be able to finish those spells in time' when I read that. Because the more we focus on 'getting better rolls' the less time we have to actually try getting those spells.

Except we have pretty much already decided what point we should reach before investing on them, and we will reach it mostly within this turn.

1 point higher mod will not change things majorly for the 100 DCs. What you want, the point where skill training actually has a much bigger impact on ours rolls, is so far ahead of us, we should ignore it, otherwise we end up in a situation where there's no time left, because you're trying to get us to 11+ in skill level. Because every vote it'll be 'Oh but if we increase the skill now instead of later it'll make rolls even more efficient' in a never ending cycle. Seriously, we have good odds of getting through the 50 DC spells right now.
 
There is only 8 spells and potions that we must learn. I dont really understand the need to worry about it. I can see thread wanting to learn several of those spell even if they weren't needed for exams.
