[center][h1][color=tomato]Nylah[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] [color=tomato]"Hmm...well, perhaps we can do a little of a few things without raising suspicions. I would like to see if anyone here can teach and show me about the local herbs in this area. This will let us move around with some reason that isn't outright too strange, and perhaps we can discover something the Krysa are talking about as well. Any information we can get that gives us a better idea than them simply 'searching for a person of interest in the snowfields' and an attempted assassination spooking them on the Krysa's part."[/color] It would help her learn a bit more when it came to herbs and so forth. Perhaps enough to get more on track with the very goal she'd been reminded of a moment ago by her own mind. Plus moving about would give them some excuse to talk to locals, or 'accidentally' overhear something potentially. And if in the end all they did was end up learning some more about the local area or other general little things otherwise... [color=tomato]"Then afterward we search for Lissa afterward before it gets dark, in case she hasn't returned yet from wanting to talk too your sister."[/color] Ensure everyone was safe. Then they could put any gathered information together and see what their next major move could be. Because right now....things were generally not too well. It made her most definitely nervous, but it felt like the less risky thing to do. Even if Eirhild and Jivka stayed back and it was just her, at least it would be better than sitting and doing more nothing after getting some information. ...Many lives were on the line, after all. Both in Dawn and here. [@Rune_Alchemist] [hider=Personal Info Hider For Nylah] -[b]Herbs/Herbalism Knowledge[/b]: ***Kyr Reed acted as a sort of coagulant as well as sedative. Made people calmer…not particularly useful for treating frostbite on its own, but it was useful for staunching bleeding or injuries. Could be crushed into a paste with a variety of other things to achieve various effects. Wind-Leaf acted as more of a stimulant. When properly mixed with Kyr Reed it made salves and healing poultices good for bolstering the immune system and promoting natural healing. Coral Moss and Slug mucus were a bit harder to find, since the slugs only could be found in shallow water during the day, with Coral Moss being found in damp sea caves off the coast near the Goddess Spear. Slug Mucus was good for making topical salves for alleviating pain, while Coral Moss, when exposed to certain other substances actually heated itself to temperatures good for gentle rewarming of frost-bitten areas. ***Making anesthetics and preparing healing potions and salves. [quote]It’d be easy enough to prepare both of those things especially with the things she had on hand. Fresh water for a base, crush the ingredients, then boil it to a broth. Simple enough, they didn’t have time to refine it. The Salves could be made by taking the same ingredients and crushing them into a paste without the water. Better for topical use on flesh wounds.[/quote] *** *** *** -[b]Acquired Lore/World Knowledge[/b]: ***Yaga Deity + Yaga Perspective On Rifelshka - [quote=Jivka]and slowly running her thumb across it. “It doesn’t have a name. Our deity, that is. We just know he exists and is the reason we survived the Moonless Era.” She’d pass it to Nylah for her to hold. “As for The Death goddess…” She lowered her voice, briefly glancing over her shoulders despite there being quite obviously no one else in the cabin. “We say the rest of the gods are lesser spirits born from our nameless deity when he fell from the heavens, his body was formed into these lesser Spirits. But the Death Goddess? She existed before him and if you believe the elder, had a direct hand in creating the Moonless Era and seeks to kill our deity once more. That’s all I’m saying.” She’d fall silent, seemingly nervously scratching the back of her head. “Uh, sorry I’m gonna take a walk. Hate talking about this, but one more thing. Do not mention her name here, outsider. That’s a good way to get every Yaga to want you to leave. Say she hears every time her name is spoken and we don’t want to try any attention from her.”[/quote] ***Why the Krysa are at the Yaga Village and are attacking Mie - [quote=Jivka]Something has the Krysa spooked.” A brusque reply the Yaga ignored the snow starting to fall, leading the three towards a small house towards the middle of the village. “Someone trying to attack one of their wisemen or something? I dunno. They blame that merchant that travels through here around this time.”[/quote] ***About Novak: [quote=Novak] First, I know that I don't look the part of one of Mie's people. I originally wasn't- I was just some nobody that her caravan picked up, and she was gracious enough to allow me to earn a living working for her. She sent me to sneak out since I'm neither an Oni nor a Chagawa human, thus they have no reason to suspect that I'm with her." [/quote] ***Mie's Caravan Situation Information As Acquired from Novak: [quote=Novak]"I presume Haruno already filled you in as to what our situation is. Nothing's changed since she left- we're still holding out, but our food is running low and we need to get this resolved one way or the other. However, I did manage to learn some rather interesting things on my way here. The Krysa woman you saw me with, Lady Marushka, is with the Office of Internal Peace. She's acting on direct orders from the Tsarita herself, hunting some "person of interest" in the snowfields. I also overheard a mention from her guards about the life of someone important being threatened. Sir something...Ost...no...Osh...Ozven, that's it. Sir Ozven, they said."[/quote] *** *** *** [hider=Nylah Skills] -[color=tomato]{Enthralling Dust}[/color] (Racial): Mothraki produce a potent pollen like dust upon their wings. Merely by existing they spread this where they go, though it's mostly harmless if not inhaled in large quantities. Causes hallucinations and dulls one's senses. As one may expect, people tend to frown upon this sort of thing. -[color=tomato]{Journeyman Light Magic}[/color]: A magic encompassing pure light and illumination, ranging from harmless orbs to light up one’s path all the way up to rays/beams of light as attacks to even light barriers and other light constructs such as swords and spears and shields and so forth. A versatile magic that does not call upon the fire of the sun, but does have its myriad uses and capabilities. -[color=tomato]{Novice Herbalist}[/color]: Non-magical practices of a healer, ranging from identifying or figuring out the use of new herbs and recognizing familiar ones, to making things like certain poultices and healing-based alchemy/potion-making, to how to handle wounds/injuries and such using these things.

She usually wears it around most of the time. (EDIT: Has refilled her supplies, with [s]three[/s] one total healing pots remaining now. Also now has [s]four[/s] three vials of baby-chameleon-thing poison.) -[color=tomato]{Small Knife}[/color]: A gift from her mother, made with a smoothed-out bone handle and treated with certain oils, mainly used to help cut things like vines and plants when out collecting herbs and so forth. Also a very niche emergency self-defense tool. -[color=tomato]{Food}[/color]: A small pouch sitting on her opposite hip that contains a few strips of preserved game meat and a few dried edible herbs from the local area. Not much in amount, since it was meant to be snacks for heading into the woods to gather herbs before 'that' happened. -[color=tomato]{Wristband}[/color]: A simple little bracelet made of pretty stones dyed in various colors, carefully having had a hole made through each, sitting on a band made of twisted and treated leather strips. Worn on her left wrist and given as a gift to her by her mother. How long it took to acquire or even make is unknown. -[color=tomato]{Cuteness}[/color]: She is a definitely cute moth girl.
