Honestly, back then, I'd thought Deathquest would have won, so I wrote it anyways, and after dithering for a while, I decided to post it instead of having it rot away. Besides, I still have dice to roll and stuff...
So here it is, it's supposed to be shorter because more revelations. Now, How do I make that darned sidestory/apocrypha tab...

I see what you did there.
September 12th 1983
-[X] Real Estate Hunt (step 2). The people who take care of the real estate have encountered a bit of a snag when it comes to the property you want to buy. There is an infestation of trolls. Because of that, you can buy it at a reduced price, but you'll need to deal with them. Cost 800 000G.
Luck activated! Score raised: 59 + 20 = 79
Well, the first thing to do, Dace supposed, was to secure another base of operations. Still, having his house destroyed before he even finished paying for its ameliorations was annoying. At least that was paid back using the insurance money, leaving him with a lot more than what he had when he was younger. Therefore, he went, along with his granddaughter and his wife, to the real estate agent.
The place was sober and clean, which was all he wanted from it. One could easily gauge the level of competence from a business that way. Those who used lots of decorations were bound to use them as distractions, whether it was from the fact they were fleecing their customers or their own incompetence didn't really matter. The person receiving them was a no nonsense greying woman with square glasses and a squarer jaw that looked like she could chew a galleon and spit a nugget out, which made her smiles mildly terrifying. He liked that.
"Mister Gwallawg." She held out her hand for him to shake which he did, before she sat behind her desk, and his family in front of her. "Desidera Swallows. I have received your message about your interested in one of our lots. However, our people have run into some... Difficulties... Along the way, therefore, I have called you here to inform you about the situation."
Dace raised an eyebrow but said nothing, signaling her to continue with a move of his hand and seating himself more comfortably on his seat.
"As you probably do not know due to your current circumstances, this is mating season for the trolls, and they have invaded the property you're interested in. After failing to negotiate with them, my superiors have called the exterminators and opened up several other places that would correspond to the criteria you imposed, but-"
The man raised his hand, eyes closed, before opening them back with a faint smirk on his lips. The wheels in his mind were turning, and a plan began to take shape.
"I'll take it."
The woman looked slightly perturbed but readjusted her glasses and gave him the contract. She even gave him the contact information of some builders she knew.
Spent 800 000 Galleons. You now own the tallest mountain of Wales, in the middle of the natural park of Snowdonia.
September 14th 1983
Martial:
[X] Combat drills. You have units, but they don't know how to fight as an army.

"...And that's why you're all here today." Dace explained, looking immensely proud of himself, as he showed the grey shapes milling around the mountain, the wind carrying their terrible stench. The young graduates of the Academy, that Agatha swindled into convinced to become the first druids of your personal army looking at each other nervously, while the giant flying murder machines looked at you intently with an intelligence far from animalistic. Among them was the golden dragon, who had just reached maturity and was almost twice as big as the other dragonesses. Looking at the mountain, his reptilian eyes narrowed in what seemed to be calculation.
It then got up on its hindlegs, raised its head high, and let out a long, guttural roar that shook the air around and took flight, followed by the others, in direction of the mountain. Then, the mountain lit up as the dragons began circling it, spewing gouts of fire each time they saw a troll. Screams of agony reached their ears, and one of the younger druids began vomiting as the scent of burnt meat filled their nostrils. He'd have to train them a lot more before he could drag them onto the battlefield, it seems...
Dace Current exp: 1261 / 2000
Fight result: Victory!
Exp Gained: 1600
Dace current exp: 2861 / 3000 Level up!
As he did in the last fight, Dace felt something. However this time, he tried to pinpoint the feeling, and he got the Anchor out of the back. Then, as he looked at it, he finally noticed brown wisps of something coming from the mountain, suffusing the cube, who was pulsating, and coming within him.
[] This calls for an investigation.
[] There's too much to do right now.
In any case, there is nothing he can do about it right now, thus, he instead began to shape the energy within him.
[] Spells that seemed more complicated before now were more accessible to him... Gain Advanced Wisdom.
[] The air around him sang with a song he was beginning to understand... Gain Advanced Air Magic
[] Clarity struck his mind, he's been doing it wrong all along! Gain Basic estates.
[] The earth beneath his feet, the leaves in the wind... He could understand that emerald radiance... Gain Basic Earth Magic.
Dace's current skills: 5/8 Slots taken.
Basic Wisdom: allows your hero to learn third level spells.
Basic Intelligence: Basic intelligence increases a hero's normal maximum spell points by 25%.
Basic Air Magic: allows your hero to cast air spells at reduced cost.
Basic Diplomacy: allows you to negotiate with monsters in exchange of gold and reduces the cost of surrendering by 20%.
Basic Luck: increases your hero's luck by 1
After spending a few days cleaning up and inspecting the land, Dace was pleasantly surprised by what he found.
Territory cleared! Land bonuses discovered:
Growth:
Fairies: ++
Wolves: +
Moon does: ++
Elves (unavailable): ?
Treants: +
Druids: +
Dragons:++
Resources:
Low amounts of gold : 5 000 to work the resource, 1 000 G/Turn, 1d6-3 Native Gold / turn afterwards.
Massive amounts of high quality stone: 20 000 to work the resource, 16 ore / turn, 1d6-3 Flawless Marble afterwards.
Massive amounts of high quality crystals: 40 000 to work the resource, 8 Crystal / turn, 1d6-3 Flawless crystal afterwards.
Massive amounts of gems : 40 000 to work the resource, 8 Gems/turn afterwards.
Well, as expected, the mountain was rich with resources, though that would cost him a pretty penny to buy the tools and workers to process them. Oh well, one needs money to make money...

Dace didn't know why his house being destroyed would in any way affect his ability to make money, however, the problem was that people did, and therefore refused to sell to him.
At least, he got his money back.

Personal:
-[X] Spend time with one of your SLs: +2 RP
--[X] Therapy Spend time with Lily: +3 RP, +1/? to recovery 59
Lily was in a bad shape here. None of her wits, all of her temper, and whatever Dumbledore did to her left her unable to act on her visibly murderous impulses. He wouldn't enjoy what he was about to do. Dave levelled his wand at her and muttered a spell that, if he was caught, would get him a one-way ticket to Azkaban.
"Imperio."
There wasn't even a struggle, no resistance whatsoever to the spell, almost as if there wasn't a mind here at all, only an all-consuming rage, that ebbed and flowed. He made Lily get up and inspected her critically, before calling for his wife on his way out. He'd rather not have to witness his apprentice being bathed and fed.
After a few hours, Lily, now clean, clothed and fed was sitting in front of him like a doll, with some restraints just in case his countermeasure failed. On his hand, he held a modified calming draught that he made her drink. It seemed to have an effect, as control of her body was brutally yanked away from him and the young woman began convulsing on the seat, hands gripping the armrests, the wood breaking under the strain. She spent some time howling and groaning, but after she stopped, she looked at him with something approaching recognition in her eyes. At the very least, she didn't try to attack him.
"Good morning Lily."
She just blinked at him in incomprehension.
"Uuuuh."
Dace had a bad feeling about that, but he continued talking to her.
"One groan for no, two for yes, do you understand me?"
"Uuuuh."
Well. At least, she understood when people talked to her. Though, her mind was probably similar to a newborn's right now.
Then, a gust of wind made a dark cloth near the tent's opening flap and she tried to pounce on it, growling.
He bit back a sigh. It seemed she behaved herself around him because she knew him on an instinctual level, but her mind was closer to that of an animal, rather than a child's. An animal in perpetual fight-or-flight state.
It seemed more sessions would be in order.
Lily is a bit better and won't try to rip your head off anymore.
+1 to Recovery score, +5 RP (stored until she's cognizant enough to acknowledge something as complex as interpersonal relationships).

Learning:-[X] Translate books. Knowledge is always useful.
-[X]Dragon nest plans [Takes 1 session] (reduced because you have a live dragon to experiment with) 72
It was long and arduous, and there were many terms that couldn't be translated, but Dace finally did it. It probably helped that now he had the mountain under his nose, it made him easier to project the hypothetical dragon nests, especially since his dragons had taken to napping around it. It seems that they liked high altitude, rocky areas where they could fly around.
Plans translated, Dragon nest construction available once Rampart tier 1 is complete.
AN:
Yeah, Snowdon got really good rolls, and even a bit of gold despite the maluses. Still, Stone got 115 and Crystals got 104, which allow them to produce supposedly rare materials that aren't important yet but would normally be hard to find. So, yay, I guess.
More importantly, my loyal minion has pointed out something that he felt was rather important I tell you: here, I play each and every faction you don't control, and all of them move towards their own victory conditions. Therefore I strongly advise you to try and be proactive. I will tell you this however:
Riddle wants to become a God, the Overlord seeks to achieve domination, Dumbledore wants to wipe out chaotic / evil factions, ??? wants the throne, ??? wants to defeat ???, ??? wants to create a legacy that will last forever and all are in search of the Holy Grail.

so how good are fairies in a fight? Because seeing how they have a combat score of 2 compared to the druid's combat score of one I get the amusing image of small apple size fairies leading groups of druids into battle

It's not the combat score but the population growth bonus.
Fairies are a bit special in that they're both flying, and their small size give them a no retaliation ability. They're good for hit and run, but are very fragile, and breed quickly. They're the weakest unit of the Rampart, but you can have them up and running with a very low dice. The druids, on the other hand, are ranged fighters and spellcasters specialized on terrain manipulation and summoning. They're a lot more powerful, but it will take quite a long time to get them running. Dragon dice still keeps going and the crit allows you to skip the rest of their training phase, so when you build their abode, you can immediately add them to your army.

It's kind of amusing, that I'm more woried about the domination, the defeat and the throne plans than Riddle desire to become some sort of a pagan god of death. Hell, I'm actually all for Dumbledore's goal, if not for the SI that could hijack it with her moronic ideas on what falls under 'evil factions' list

He just needs the drain the divinity from people with traits they got from the gods, nothing to worry about.
Don't forget the fact that Riddle had Anastasia work her magic on the OotP and they're full of moles and traitor right now~
One of them's a really decent guy, you know? Not his fault if there's that other guy gunning at him with the hate a murder of crows can hold for a badly written self insert~

--[X] Plot against Aife
It was more a stroke of luck than anything else by this point, Dace thought, as he read the report from one of his spies, that his daughter bought something from one of his shops. Of course she altered her appearance, however this didn't change the fact that even with black hair, brown eyes, a dirty face and a few fake moles, she was still eye-catching. Or, more probably, it was because of it that she was more easily noticed. After all, a poor woman wouldn't buy a costly fever reducer.
Still, it was an adequate enough camouflage, he supposed. His investigators tailed her, using the tracker in the bottle, and arrived at an empty flat, recently deserted. They just missed her, but it didn't matter. After all, if she was up and about, the potion was for her child, which meant that once he drinks it, Dace would have a reliable way to track her whereabouts by using her son.
The team came to his manor and dropped a few items, maps, books and baubles. After a bit of analysis, he managed to break the simplistic code on it and now, all he needed was time to spend over trying to understand what exactly his wayward (ex) daughter was after. After all, one didn't investigate old Myths and Magic lightly, even she knew that, or at least, he made sure to impress that upon her mind when she was younger. He still didn't know if it stuck or not.
Tracker placed on Aife! New option available next turn: Investigate Aife's plot.

Learning:
-[X] Translate books. Knowledge is always useful.
-[X]Dragon nest plans [Takes 1 session] (reduced because you have a live dragon to experiment with)
It took some time and was frustrating, especially considering dragon rearing wasn't his thing, at all, but he finally managed to translate the plans in their entirety, before throwing them in Oliver's way and proceeding to try and calm the headache it caused.
-[X] The old tales are sometimes true. Brush up on your knowledge, after all each time something supernatural happened, a wizard was behind it.
The problem with lore is that there are so many different interpretations of the same myth that nobody even remembers the truth behind it. Not even Dace's archives are immune to that, but at least, he does know which ones have truly happened, at the very least. For example, while Arthur existed, his sleeping with his sister Morgana was a hoax. In the end, there was too much data to find anything worthwhile if one was to look around aimlessly. However, he found some interesting things about the necklace his wife found. The implications were worrying though...
Mysticism:
-[X] Work on the Magic Book. Its powers have saved you multiple times, and yet, you know nothing of it.
Translating it was surprisingly easy, considering how much of a pain the dragon plans were, and it paid off. Dace finally knew what was up with that book, and when he did, he was both awed and horrified.
Magic Book becomes Book of Air!
If there was a book for the four elements, did that means there were books for the factions too? The thought of Riddle having a book containing so much magic about Death... He closed his eyes. This wasn't him. He didn't deal in what ifs. If there's a possibility of him having that book, then Dace needed to act as if it were on his possession already, and make contingencies.
Book of Air: Allows its owner to cast any spell from the school of Air, provided they have the necessary mana, regardless of the spell level. (List of spells : Air Magic Spells - Heroes of Might and Magic III / Heroes 3 )
December 28th 1983
Diplomacy:
-[X] Have a chat with Dumbledore. You've put it off long enough, and as much as you loathe the old man, he is a major player and you shouldn't let him run around unchecked. This will open up funding/trade/information/socializing (ugh) options.
Dace arrived in a flash of green fire, dusting his robes as he strode through the room, heading towards the seats, not bothering with introductions. Dumbledore's eyes followed him hands steepled over his ornate desk, the portraits of the old directors of Hogwards protesting his impoliteness as he sat. His blue-green eyes scanned the room, from Dumbledore himself, clad in those garish mustard robes that he was sure he wore to annoy him, to the multiple odds and ends clutteres on tables on the side, to the phoenix that was looking at him with piercing eyes. He stopped a bit, trying to understand why the animal looked upset then remembered.
"You had your chance, remember? It isn't my fault you were slower than the dragons."
The bird seemed to huff, before breaking eye contact and beginning to comb its feathers with its beak. The silence fell down on the room, where Dace and Dumbledore looked at eachother, gauging, judging.
"Nigh'mare..."
The door suddenly opened, and a toddler entered. Blond haired, brown eyed, he looked like somebody took Frank Longbottom and shrunk him down. This was most likely Neville Longbottom.
Dumbledore got up from his seat and walked towards the toddler, grandfatherly persona firmly in place, and smiled at him gently, rubbing the boy's head.Meanwhile, the gears in Dace's mind were turning. Why would he be at Hogwarts? Well it was the 'safest place in Britain', where Dumbledore could keep an eye on him.
"Is that so? Well, this is problematic. Have you called on Whimsy and Dozy?" The old man asked while waving his wand and making the boy levitate, eliciting delighted giggles on his part.
"They weren't here, so I came for you."
Albus frowned, but it disappeared quickly.
"Well then, we should remedy to that, shouldn't we?" He wrote a note and had his familiar pick it up, teleporting away to its recipient. The boy then looked around, eyes fixed on Dace, before he looked away again towards Dumbledore, babbling excitedly as the man sat back on his chair, the child on his lap. Dace closed his eyes, counted up to ten and got up from his seat, his voice smoother than he would have thought.
"It seems I am intruding. I'll be on my way."
Dumbledore sighed as the room flashed green.
"Grandpa? Who was that?" Nevilled asked him innocently, having likely picked up on the tension between the two men unconsciously.
"A mistake, Neville. The biggest mistake I have made in many years." The man seemed to sag, looking as if every year of his life finally caught back to him.
So Prophecy was all it took, huh...
Failure.

Intrigue:
[X] Plotting is an excellent bonding activity!

Mysticism:
-[X] You've been having ... Dreams, lately. So, did Scáthach to be honest, and you're fairly sure that Aife and her spawn will, too. They aren't particularly alarming; however, they are abnormal. If anything, you should investigate what they mean.
Personal:
-[X] Spend time with one of your SLs: +2 RP
--[X] Spend time with Scáthach: +3 RP, chance of ???
Winter had pretty much become the season Dace devoted to spending time with his heiress, though most of that time was used to teach her valuable life lessons. Today was no different.
"So," Dace began today's lesson with a slightly sour expression. " today, we're going to be talking about 'needs must'. Someday, you'll find yourself in a situation where you need to cooperate with people you don't necessarily agree with.... Yes?" He stopped, seeing that his granddaughter has raised her hand with an oddly concentrated expression on her face.
"Like you and Dumbledore?" She asked innocently. Dace twitched, before breathing in and out and nodding.
"Yes. Exactly like Dumbledore and I." He acknowledged, before continuing, a hard look in his eyes as he looked at the fire in the chimney." In fact, you may find yourself needing to cooperate with people you absolutely despise for the sake of your goals, whichever they may be, knowing perfectly well that they are nothing more than giant, irresponsible liabilities..."
"Grandfather, you're doing it again. "This time Scáthach interrupted him as he was going into one of his rants. "Grandmother told me to stop you when you do that, but why are you doing it in the first place?"
Dace deflated like a balloon and sighed uncharacteristically, running a hand through his hair.
"Dumbledore... It's complicated. " He started, trying to find some way to talk about it. "Some think him a great hero for defeating Grindelwald, but they forget he's the one who enabled him in the first place. They say he's the only one the Terrorist ever feared, however, according to that Chamber of Secrets mess, he couldn't even reign him in when he was a student. It's true he's strong, and a genius. However, he limits himself too much when it matters and that causes him to become inefficient." He was hesitating to say more about it when he was interrupted.
"Don't mind him sweetheart." The doors opened dramatically, and Elizabeth entered, clad in a periwinkle dress embedded with small sapphires. " Getting anything personal out of him is like trying to pry off a cerberus' tooth. Dace here has a bad history with Dumbledore." She continued, sashaying around the room and plucking the little girl off the seat. " Honestly, it's a miracle he managed to last that long without insulting the man. He's not necessarily wrong, mind you, but there are things better left unsaid until later." She gave him a pointed look, before bringing the girl out with her, leaving Dace alone in his office.
The man covered his eyes with one hand, pinching the bridge of his nose, before absentmindedly flicking his wand and sending a paper knife sailing through the air towards a copy of the older man's photograph on the journal. It struck true, a dull thud could be heard, but Dace didn't feel any better.
And then the dreams started.
A rocky island that was lapped at by the sea. A gigantic beast struck by a spear, its body, cut up and broken down into materials, a battlefield, a glowing figure falling down to the ground, a flash of red, and then nothing.
This wouldn't be that unusual, save for the fact that he dreamed of it every night, and it just so happened that dream interpretation, of Divination in general, wasn't his specialty. In fact, he was pretty inept at it. Still, it didn't take too much to guess what it was about, which is why he was unsurprised when Scáthach came to him one evening, clad in her pink nightdress, holding Amalthea in her arms and looking worried, talking to him about the dreams she had, identical to his.
There were only few reasons why they would both dream about the Isle of Skye and the Ulster Cycle, after all. It seemed he'd have to investigate his granddaughter's namesake.
+5 RP with Scáthach, Scáthach gains 1 Intrigue, Dace gains the trait Stressed.
Stressed : -1 to all stats, -10 to all rolls. All work and no play makes Dace want to go away ~

Sorry for the lateness, illness.
Dumbledice strikes again! And this time, Dace's the one paying for it~
On another hand, Queen of Shadows at hand. Yay? I mean, it was bound to happen since it was selected in character creation, but still, it's a bit early.

Thanks! By the way, food for thought :
4 green dragons, 1 gold dragon, 15 wolves, 20 fairies, 3 druids, then there's Oliver, Scathach and Elizabeth.
Anything other than humanoid creatures won't be discrete though.
Hope that helps for the votes.

I think we should just bring the humanoids with us to maintain discretion, who knows if anyone could follow us or something, or worse if worst!daughter speculate our "evil" plot, again.
Scathatch I think is mandatory since she have the same dream as us, maybe also bring either Oliver or Elizabeth, but not both so someone can keep home safe.
