Day 3, Green Leaf in Concert

I dreamt about you. You have to hold on. I know it’s getting worse, but we are coming, I swear.

…

We started the Greenleaf trial in the morning. Dane led us to the cellar and said it was important that the others don’t know about the book. I asked him to come join us for the trials, but he looked away. Reminds me of father.

A spirit named Letus Romaine welcomed us to the trial of the 7 Precepts: Charity, Humility, Courage, Speed, Humour, Discipline, and Patience. The spirit asked who we were and why we thought we’d succeed. Some showed optimism, but when Tsip asked what would happen if we didn’t succeed, the spirit announced we passed the test of humility and could proceed. We passed through six more rooms that opened after a challenge related to the other precepts. The last room had seven statues of Romaine, with mean spirits that fought us. I hope it’s not bad luck to shock a spirit.

We found a collection of scrolls and returned to the entrance to find Dane and a bunch of monks that wanted to know what we were doing. Then two Changelings came down the stairs! Turns out they and Dane were sibling Changelings and tried to keep the order going. We left copies of the scrolls with a monk who wanted to keep things going.

We took our leave and walked through the woods to meet Lokgan, a farmer with transport. On the way we fought a giant wasp. Janna got stung good. She’s ok, but we had to tow her. We met Lokgan and Hawley on their big farm with big six-legged constructs working the field. Maja loved their library. Lokgan showed Tsip and I some cool tricks. We also met Rhaelyn, an elf trying to get to Vendt.

Since Lokgan used to work for the Pax’s Bright Mind Corp, I asked him about the Archivists, and he mentioned his friend Kwa’il. Lokgan writes me a letter of introduction to Kwa’il, along with letters to the station chief in Brayhlm and the harbormaster in Vendt to help us get to Gwyllipelta. We are coming
