While I'm not sure about the other debts, I do know that "You are helping someone realize their true potential through your visions. They owe you a debt" refers to Trinity. She's one of Kendra's roommates and been her friend since college, and Kendra has been using her visions to try and help Trinity in her job in forensics. It's Kendra's way of trying to pay Trinity back for remaining friends with over what has been - in Kendra's mind at least - a tough few years.

@rush99999 I fixed my CS btw. It no longer has 'Power' marked.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Pleexem lowered his head slightly at Skobeloff's answer. Clearly, the possibility that Maug had never reached the Capitol troubled him deeply.

"Oh right!" Tamba said. "You two have never properly been introduced, have you?" She gestured towards Pleexem with a wing. "Pleexem is my clutchmate and twin brother. Our eggs hatched at exactly the same time, and as such, we have a special connection."

The sudden shift of focus onto the lilac drake caused his head to duck lower even more, and even in the dark, a pinkish-purple blush was visible across his face. "Err, yes, that's me," he mumbled at Skobeloff. "Pleased to, err, meet you."

"Oh come now, Pleexem, don't be like that," Tamba said, giving her brother a little nudge with her wing. When this only caused Pleexem to shrink away further, the green drake sighed and looked back at Skobeloff. "He's a little shy." She cleared her throat. "But because we're twins, if we're together and we call upon the same moon with the same intention, our moon magic is extra strong. We're just that in-sync!"

Alpin gave a relieved sigh at Fellwing's reply, and any and all apprehension seemed to vanish from him instantly. "Oh, that's alright then," he said. "You had me worried for a moment there." He then nods at the dragons. "Yes, I can guide you to Echo's if that's where you want to go." He paused for a moment, glancing past the drakes to look at Garrock, who had been strangely silent this whole time.

The yellow dragon was cradling his wing, the one which had been bitten by the corrupted brownie, and didn't seem like he'd really been listening to the conversation. However, when he noticed the silence, he finally spoke up. "Well, what are we doing standing around here for?" he says. "Let's get on with it."

"Err, right," Alpin says. He glanced at Fellwing and Stargaze, with a look that seemed to ask 'what's his problem?' "To Echo's, then." He turned away and gestured for the group to follow.

@XxFellsingxX

Good work. I especially like the picture. One of yours by any chance?

Either way, there is one alteration I'll be needing from you before I approve this 100%. You have a mark on Power before the game's even started. Unless I'm forgetting something, everyone starts the game with all factions unmarked.

@rush99999

It is. Was originally working on it back when the other Urban Shadows RP was being made. Thank you ^^

Alright, I’ll change that. For some reason, I thought that we started with one faction already marked, but now glancing through the rules, I can’t find any evidence that that was actually a thing. Oops

Who are you?
"... bit of a loaded question, but I'll go with it: Kendra Molony, age 24. Born in Derry, Northern Island, moved to Newcastle, England when I was four years old. Parents divorced when I was... eleven, I think? Me and my mum weren't getting along so good, so I ended up moving in with my dad. Well, he got remarried to this American woman, who's now my stepmum. We ended up moving to the States, went to middle school, high school, err... dropped out of college due to personal reasons that I will not go into. Currently living with my old college roommate, Trinity, and one of her friends, girl named Aliss. They're cool people. Nowadays work in a coffee shop which, is part of, *cough*, a certain corporate chain. It's hell, but I get discounts so..."

How long have you been in the city?
"Little over a year now. It's no worse than anywhere else I've been, I guess."

How do you cope with the visions?
"Err, I get round the dreams by sleeping as little as possible. Putting those cheap coffees to good use. Eventually, I do have to conk out though, but I limit that to short naps. As for the waking visions, well, there's not much you can do about those save grin and bare it. And take painkillers, lots and lots of painkillers."

What are the nightmares like?
"Awful. Next question."

What do you desperately need?
"In the long term? Probably a few more years of therapy. Right now though, I'll settle for another coffee."

I am game for this! Probably will use Kendra, since I very much still want to try the Oracle playbook.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

At Skobeloff's question, the two younger drakes exchange a look. "Well, we have a good idea of when it happened," Tamba began. "We're a little more fuzzy on the 'how' and the 'why'."

"She's been acting strangely ever since we got here," Pleexem interjected. "Even before things started going wrong, she's just been so jumpy."

"You're one to talk," Tamba said with a snort. She turned her head back to Skobeloff. "Besides us two and her, there were four other dragons with us. Vipereyes and Alto were among them." Skobeloff will recognise those names as members of Myndoth, a bearded and long-tooth dragon respectfully, and from he knows of them, it's easy to see why they were chosen for this specific mission: Vipereyes is Myndoth's expert on poisonous fauna and flora, while Alto - short for Altostratus - was a budding crafter who was known for rarely speaking the common dragon tongue but preferred instead to either use sign language or one of the elemental languages, all of which he was fluent in.

"There's also Maug, who's from Tessith, like me and Fogdance. And finally, there was Kyte."

"They're the other member of our clutch," Tamba explained, motioning between herself and Pleexem. "They're from Semscale. Since we're still new to working together and me and Pleexem were already going to be here representing our Houses, our Sponsor thought they should come along with us, as a team-building exercise of sorts."

Pleexem grimaced. "Obviously, they weren't expecting things to turn out like this."

"The island was perfectly fine for the first few days," Tamba continued. "Fogdance was on edge, yes, and we were having a couple of disputes with the local pixie village about expanding the stronghold and how that would cut into their territory. That was a whole mess, but we seemed to have come to agreement." She sighed. "Then one night, we just started hearing strange sounds. The next morning we found claw marks on the trees. We thought the few pixies who still disagreed with us were playing some sort of trick to try and get us to leave, but when we went to confront them about it, they got mad at us. Apparently, some of the pixies had gone missing the night before, and they of coursed blamed us."

"That went on for a couple of days," Pleexem added. "More pixies disappeared, more weird sounds in the middle of the night."

"We noticed how quiet the forest was during the day, too. Vipereyes noted how she saw less and less fauna around the place, and Alto told us he hadn't felt the presence of elementals either. We decided after a while we should send word back to the Capitol. Maug offered to act as messenger, so they left." Tamba lowers her head solemly. "We never saw them again, and we never heard anything back."

"Until you showed up, that is," Pleexem pointed out. "You're the first word we've heard from anyone in weeks." He looks at Skobeloff with a mixture of hope and dread. "Did... did Maug ever reach the Capitol? Are they okay?"

---

Stargaze's explanation did nothing to ease Alpin's surprised expression. "You had a vision? About me?" he says, looking up at Fellwing. He looks a little embarrassed. "I wasn't doing anything stupid in your vision, was I?"

He then looks to Stargaze when she mentioned Echo. "Echo..." Alpin repeated, a hint of recognition in his voice. "Right. She's the elemental who lives near that willow tree." He nods. "Yeah I think I know the way to her place. Thankfully, it's in the more watery part of the swamp, which means we're not likely to run into any more brownies. Not many of us really like swimming." He frowns as he gestures to his surroundings. "I mean, I ain't particularly fond of it myself but if keeps us safe, it keeps us safe."

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub the Peculiar

Jub had spent the rest of the journey enjoying his new wings. The group had to tolerate him flying circles overhead and occasionally calling out "Hey, hey, guys, check this out!" before pulling off some trick. Eventually, the magic wore off and his wings disappeared. Thankfully, he wasn't too far up in the air when it happened, though he doing a somersault at the time and ended falling face-first onto the raft. Once he'd recovered, he had sat for a bit while just staring at the origami horse they had gotten from the wisps, considering all that had happened over the past few hours. In particular, he was recalling how he'd turned one of those giant snakes to stone with a magic missile, and wondering if he should see if he could do that again. Was that just a fun side-effect that occurred because they were in the Feywild? He was thinking about how he could test it out, even eying up Bob as a possible test-subject, when the group finally reached Telemy Hill. Aurora was just asking Talarvar where they could find this Jingle Jangle when Brutrumukk suddenly announced he was going looking for food.

"You hungry again?" Jub said. However, he had to admit, the smell was quite tempting. When announced Gabriel announced he was going with the bugbear and called for the goblin to join them, Jub gave a resigned sigh and stood up to follow them. Before he went, though, he turned to Aurora. "If, err, we need to find you again, I'll send up some fireworks with Prestidigitation. Good luck on finding the key!" And with that, he followed after Gabriel and Brutrumukk.

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

"I... see," was all Flicker could say in response to Mixer's dismissal. They decided not to push the point and risk upsetting the goblin more. If she was fine possibly getting into legal trouble - or worse - with disgruntled customers, well, that was her choice.

At Aura and Cascade's insistence that they try the potion, Flicker made a face. "It's not the lightning I'm worried about," they said. They nodded towards Jørmund. "I don't exactly want to have hallucinations of past enemies or people I've... harmed in the past." They lowered their voice slightly. "I think about that stuff enough without having hallucinations about it." They gave an awkward cough. While that mentioned their previous problems with their temper and powers to Aura, Jørmund and Rala, it still wasn't something they enjoyed talking about. Plus, with Cascade still being new to the group, this wasn't exactly how Flicker wanted to broach the subject. They quickly changed the subject. "Besides, you heard the goblin," they said, motioning to Mixer. "Apparently the side-effects are numerous, and I'm not a fan of leaving things to those kind of chances. Too many things could go wrong."
