Spirit Quest

[Umi-san]

I never sayd we can't trust him, I sayd'd we don't know him. I mean, what does he likes to eat? What he does when not working? What kind of music does he like? We honestly don't know much of him, I consider him a permanent part of our group, but I can't say I know much about him. And we don't know this things about him because we never even tried. She doesn't need to have much info before-hand on him, only a little perceptiveness (which someone cunning for sure has) and some mind games. Of course, we don't know for real what she's like, only what our doughter told us of hearing from our enemy, so not 100% trustable information... And even more reason for us, as the leader fo the group, to be there to greet and meet her. Yes, Evantine is great, I wouldn't trade him even for our wife, but this is exactly the kind of enemy that can be a problem for him. Just imagine, what if she seduces him?

Again, if she tries to manipulate him, why should we care to make a deal with her?
There are 4 of us v 1 of her. There's no point in peace with someone determined to be a problem.

As far as seduction goes, a much more problematic issue, a) Oshha's presentation of him makes him sound aged and distant, b) he's not going alone.

Moreover, we're hardly immune ourselves.

Really, we should just rest and recover. The gains are outweighed by the risks as you have presented them.

[X] [Seryn] Yes, but she shouldn't be alone there in case something like this happens again. She should make sure at least one of you have a shrine there so you keep in touch.
[X] [Trouble] Neither. Your followers need time to regroup and consolidate.
[X] [Tired] Rest now. You are not fit to make important decisions in your current state of tiredness. Rest now and trust the others handle matters when you are not available.

You really think so? I mean, you seem to see thing very black and white... If you were in her situation, what would you do? Me? I would seek out advantages to stay safe. If you don't know this people, even if they saved you, why should you trust them? If she has the aspect of beauty, she probably has other similar ones, and should be able to affect him. About we not being immune? Well, we got our wife with us there, and besides, I doubt she could seduce several of us. But Evantine with her should be enough to at least make our other two spirits retreat, while if we or him get taken with the four of us there, it's more probable for her to have to retreat, giving us access to her temple (which means we can end her life if she stays a nuisance) or just make her resign. There is absolutely no advantage to let them go without us, except that we would be tired... Something which has been proven we can overcome with simple energy costs, if it proves a problem. So, I really don't understand your point.

I see very little merit in assuming that she has multiple aspects all stacked toward seducing people.
I know of no evidence that us being tired and prone to poor decisions can be "overcome with simple energy costs."
If you doubt she could seduce several of us, why would you assume she could seduce several of us -1?


Us being tired means we're prone to bad decisions and thus add little value, in which case increased numbers aren't very worth it. Note that we are *all* likely to be tired.
Us taking time to recuperate means that all of our party - including Evatine - will be better rested and better able to make better decisions.

The only losses from resting before going to see her are:
a) she does stuff to recuperate on her own - and if she is "seek[ing] out advantages to stay safe" that's a small loss,
b) Cyn's Hero goes to her place, in which case we're fighting a hero and a spirit. Which increases the size of the problem we're dealing with while reducing the number. Not to mention that it's an unlikely alliance for her to sustain.

But anyways, everyone's voted the same way and that's unlikely to turn around so I guess we'll see whether going to see a crafty and dangerous raven right after the battle was sensible or not.

Apples.
He is always working.
Doesn't listen to music as it hasn't been invented yet.
Gwarlon knows plenty about Evatine in-character and is close enough that he considers him to be his brother, but since most of that is trivial, non-important information (because really, when would what does Evatine like to eat come up in an update) I have kept it out of the updates. If you want to know more specific stuff about Evatine or just anything in-universe, I will tell you what Gwarlon knows even if it is just that he doesn't know anything.

Just imagine, what if she seduces him?

Evatine doesn't do the whole romance thing. He's too old for that. Between that and his own intelligence and social ability, Evatine will see through any attempts to seduce him and is highly unlikely that Morvicana will have enough energy to force her seductions upon Evatine, especially if there is another Spirit that with him.

Personally I just feel since we are Chief now, we should at least meet the new neighbor before falling asleep, so we have SOME say in how the relationship works out rather than waking up to whatever happened because like a cat we went to take a nap.

Like possible outcomes:
-She wants her Aspect back - Then we can try to negotiate something with our daughter to work it out peacefully rather than her feeling that she has to resort to violence to beat our daughter until the aspect comes out and lead to a feud.

-She is indeed habitually a conspiracist - Then its best to know about it so we keep an eye out in the post-wake up scenario. We have a whole family she can manipulate if it comes to that. Though personally I suspect one of her aspects is inherently antagonistic to Cyn's if he's going to the extent of forcibly ripping out her beauty to make his own custom catgirl waifu.

-She just wants revenge - Excellent, common goal!

-She just wants to protect her territory - Then we talk borders and trade.

Whether she rolls us because we're sleepy doesn't change that she needs to be addressed, but we'd be lashing out blindly in the post wake period because we'd be missing the original status quo, and only seeing the tail end of reactions.

I didn't say she could seduce all the group, but that if she seduced Evantine teh rest of the group wouldn't be able to deal with the two of them. Now, Oshha has put this concern to rest, and even told us some about Evantine (Thanks, Oshha). And yet, it remains true that we chose to be the facto Chief, and no matter if someone is better for it, it's our responsability to treat with other leaders. Having Evantine with us will make things better, but we are the head.

That was mundane tiredness in his avatar and due to being a spirit, Gwarlon was able to overcome the method by throwing spiritual energy at the problem to brute force a solution. This is a spiritual tiredness where it isn't just his Avatar, but his spiritual self which is feeling exhausted.

I have edited the update to make that clearer.

I see, diferent situations then. I thought we could just surpass tiredness through energy costs, but it seems not. I still insist it's better ofr us to be there. Now, i we had taken the earth aspect, then we would be leader only because other chose to listen to us, and thus leaving Evantine to negotiate would be best. Since we have the chief aspect we need to be a chief. There's no meaning in leadership if you don't lead.

You appear to define leadership as negotiation. Note that we always have the choice of just not going, collectively, which is what I switched to advocating for 18 hours ago.

I don't, but just for s econd think in our world what it means that the, lets say, leader of a country didn't go to the negotiations. So, things fucked up, WWII has been won, and the president of america decides not to appear for the treaty made on Germans soil. I doesn't matter if the negotiator sent is better, this simply isn't an aceptable means. If this was a neighbor village wanting to negotiate some mercantile treaty, yeah, we can leave this to someone else. If this was some prisioners being heard and then sentenced? We can leave this for better hands. But dealing with another leader is part of our function, and we can't stay out.

About simply not going? Well, giving the enemy the advantage, if it's an enemy, and loosing a better ground, if she's not. Yeah, we'll be better ourselves to deal with it, but by loosing tactical advantages and knowledge. She doesn't know he is dead, and the soldiers keeping her people captive doesn't either, but they will soon. And if it isn't because we came and brought the news? Well, then probably the soldiers have been massacred, she lost people, and she won't trust us, because we knew she was captive and we just left her for her own means, doesn't matter if she is capable of getting out by herself. Like I sayd before, I see simply no advantage in waiting right now, not just us and neither our whole group.

***​

Despite your weariness, you decide that you cannot afford to rest just yet. Morcaviana needs to be deal with before the Crow-Spirit can consolidate her position now that Cynfanor is gone.

And as the de facto leader of your group, even if Bronwyn handles the actual running of Avawyr and Evatine does his own thing in Evalon, you feel that you should be responsible for negotiating and you should do so in person.

That means staying awake to get things sorted now before you rest and are unable to act.

Hopefully Morcaviana shouldn't prove to be a problem. If you can help it, you can make peaceful ties with her and both of you can focus on your mutual foes, the Caradawg and the other Cynfanor loyalists. You have no desire to conquer unprovoked like the late Cynfanor.

In the meantime, you have to deal with Seryn's request for control of Bedywn after slaying or driving off its previous leadership.

In the end, you say yes to her because she is capable of looking herself and it is better than leaving Bedywn free for the taking to the Cynfanor loyalists, Morcaviana and Bedynn or some other unknown group.

You wanted for her to have a shrine of one of the other spirits in the family with her, but none of you had the energy for a second shrine yet. With that option not being possible, Seryn got Bedywn all to herself for the better or the worse.

And things just keep doing downhill for your plans. While you are able to maintain consciousness through your exhaustion, you are not as successful with your avatar and it collapses into raw energy to be reused by you.

While not disastrous, being forced back into an incorporeal form is still very annoying as you are limited to influencing the area around your shrine, which is Avawyr and the outskirts of the village.

This normally would not be too bad, but the current state of affairs means that you are unable to partake in any negotiations with Morcaviana or the Bedynnish.

At least you have enough energy coming in that you should be able to reform your avatar in a few weeks.

Now you just have to wait things out as you heal injuries and bless the crops, being careful in the amount of the energy that you expend.

As the Growth Season goes on and the Sun Season begins, your surviving warriors trickle back into the village. Your heart is saddened by how few return as only half of those you set off return to the village.

At least you know you will have a surplus of crops this year.

By the start of the Sun Season, you have reformed your Avatar and you have already begun your return to Bedywn when you stumble into Bronwyn, your daughters minus Seryn and their accompanying group of warriors.

Where Seryn used to look like her mother before gaining an Aspect of Beauty, Bronwyn now looks like her daughter and a quick poke at her spiritual aura confirms your suspicions. Bronwyn now has an Aspect of Beauty.

In all honesty, you are not surprised by this development at all. Looking at things, it was only a matter of time before the Beautiful One gained an Aspect of Beauty.

Your wife also has news about how things when in your absence. While you lost after your Avatar when trying to stay awake, Evatine choose to voluntarily withdraw to rest. It seems that the two of you had pushed yourselves to your limits and then some in your fight with Cynfanor and then had to pay the price for that.

Meanwhile, Seryn and Bronwyn led a group of warriors to Bedynn while the rest of your daughters stayed behind with the remaining warriors to hold Bedywn and discourage anymore fighting from the Cynfanor loyalists.

Speaking the Cynfanor loyalists, Caradawg is proving to be potential troublesome. The man has managed to get away with almost all of the surviving warriors from Bedwyn along with slightly over a thousand villagers.

With enough weapons to armed their warriors and some of the villagers, the Caradawg and the Cynfanor loyalists were also able to get enough supplies such as food and clothing to last them for a little while.

Knowing that his followers do not have enough supplies to last for long on their own, Caradawg led the Cynfanor loyalists to Bedywn while your forces were still consolidating their hold on Bedywn.

With Morcaviana still unaware of Cynfanor's death and the Bedywnish garrison, Caradawg and his warriors faced no resistance until it was too late for the Bedynnish to do anything.

Adding the Bedwynish garrison to his number of warriors and picking up some Bedynnish villagers who felt more loyalty to Cynfanor than to Morcaviana or Bedynn, Caradawg pillaged Bedynn, taking what the Cynfanor loyalists needed along with anything else that they could take or carry with them.

It was a few days after Caradawg and the Cynfanor loyalists set off westwards from Bedynn that Bronwyn, Seryn and the Evalonish-Avawyrish showed up.

Despite her village recently being plundered and ransacked, Morcaviana attempted to dominate Bronwyn, enforcing her will over that of the other spirit. Something you have yet to encounter and you hoped that you do not.

Seryn did not take kindly to Morcaviana's actions and attacked her. Against a spirit of Seryn's power, Morcaviana fell quickly and derived of warriors from Cynfanor's rule and recent raid by Caradawg, the Bedynnish were unable to put any defence against the Avawyrish and the Evalonish.

While Bronwyn was able to gain her Aspect of Beauty from the residing energy, the Aspects of Beauty's held by the other two spirits there and her title that is associated with the concept, Seryn effectively ate Morcaviana wholesale for her power like she did with Cynfanor.

From there, Seryn gained a lot, especially since she was still brimming from energy that she took from Cynfanor. In the end, she has greatly boosted her Aspect of Beauty and Spirit of Vigour to unseen levels while her actions in battle and the lingering military association from Cynfanor have granted her a pair of Aspects related to battles and combat.

And just as she was able to claim Cynfanor's shrine as her own, Seryn has claimed Morcaviana's as well.

So now your daughter is running Bedywn and Bedynn while Morcaviana is dead and Caradawg is fleeing west with over thousand Cynfanor loyalists, several hundred of them veteran warriors.

Yay?

Is there a difference between what village we visit her at?

Is fear something spirits can naturally gain from doing scary things?

Yes to the question about fear and Bronwyn has Avatar 3 as that is the default for Spirits and is roughly equal to an adult mortal human in terms of physical power, which is what Bronwyn was before Ascending.

So, almost everything went wrong and then our daughter ate everyone and became even more powerfull than our already super powerfull friend... Honestly, are we the weakling leader of this band? Somehow, all I feel after this update is sadness and disapointement...

Not everything went wrong. Bronwyn successfully resisted getting Dominated by Morcaviana and has gotten a new Aspect. Seryn managed to defeat Morcaviana without any difficulty and doubled her power. You managed to deal with the potential problems of Morcaviana and Bedynn without losing anyone including any mortal warriors from Avawyr or Evalon. You also now have one of the most powerful spirits around in your pocket along with four villages.

And yes, you are currently the weakling leader of this band. Fortunately, you have pretty strong power of love and friendship.

Are there any mythologies which have a strong pantheon due to family, love and friendship?

Thanks for the response!

I was asking about the Avatar thing because Evantine has avatar 1, so I wanted to see if that was normal or not.

Also, just noticed on a second read through, but there's no option to spend time with family.

Is that because it's just an assumed action now, or is it because most of our kids are too grown up?

1) Yes, Evatine is incredible weak physically because he accidentally sacrificed his physical might in a ritual that got him his Aspect of Civilisation.

2) It is an assumed action now because it is something that Gwarlon will do by default now. Healing, Inspiring, Healing and Bolstering are also all assumed actions with Spirit Actions allowing you to focus on particular ones.

Also, all actions are repeatable unless stated otherwise.

Basically I agree with Raichu in every way but included leadership actions, switched from general blessing to increasing the harvest, and changed the location for meeting Seryn.

Commentary:
-I want to get the construction done soon and hopefully get an earth aspect out of it. So I gave it a leadership thing to help that.
-I want to improve the harvest because the Bedynnish had all of their stuff taken by the Cynites, so they might need food soon/come winter.
-Visiting Seryn at Bedynn is better because the Bedynn don't know us and we don't know them. Plus we might recognize some of her village's needs that our daughter et al did not. Also we need to like... have a serious talk with her about how she feels (fatherly) and what she's going to do with her two kids (leader). I'm hoping bolstering this action will help us do both in a non patronizing manner. (Lol pun)
-Healing is important due to all the warriors, so I gave it a leadership thing.
