Qit'ria
Overview
Thank you so much for Qit'ria's part in this thread. She is such a quirky, unique, fun pc and I love the way you play her. She sticks to her guns, no matter what and her way of looking at / understanding the world is fabulous. I love the way you write her, from her inner dialogue to her spoken language, she's just fab. If you feel I've missed anything, please let me know.

| No one listens to me! | A small piece of arrowroot, chewable although vile tasting. When chewed and for a quarter break afterwards, Qit'ria has a one level boost to her stealth. So, if she's expert, she becomes master, etc. This is due to it making shadows seem to cling to you. The piece of root has three uses. |
| I'll bite yer ankles | Having been completely spun out by the sight of a dead flunny ear still moving, Qit and Kali both found a lucky rabbits foot (one each). For whatever reason it might be, that rabbit foot seemed to be completely immune to fire - although whoever held it, isn't. However, that meant that they gained a rabbit-foot-eternal-candle which burns at about the brightness of 2 or 3 normal candles. Poor bunny. |
| Teamwork Works! | As a reward, and with thanks for her part in this, Qit'ria is given 200gn credit in the weaponsmith and can choose weapons up to that amount. Please let me know and I'll amend this review.Combat Spear - (40gn Base, Extravagant x4) - 160 GN + Javelin x4 - (5gn Base, Good x2) - 40 GN |

Tio
Overview
What I love about the trips to Immortals' Tongue is how they bring out a darker, more sombre side to Tio ~ and what I really love about that is how even that can't keep him down for long! I really enjoy how you play Tio, how he continues to develop as a pc and very much how he interacts with those around him. Awesome writing.

So, if he's expert, he becomes master, etc. This is due to it making shadows seem to cling to you. The piece of root has three uses. |
| Putting the fire in friendly fire | Tio has gained in reputation, especially among the Fire Element Troops. His reputation increase means that he is able to call in support / help from the Fire Element Troops one time. This is a favour, fundamentally, and is a one-time deal. The favour must be run past a Scalvoris prophet but certainly might be nefarious in nature. |
| How'd you make a mosster go 'woof'? | Tio has gained a reputation as a bit of a nutter. Someone on the edge, so to speak. Likely to burn down an entire forest, should he feel so inclined. He is able to intimidate up to two people to get information out of them. In OOC terms this means unlocking two "Secrets to Discover" which are scattered around Scalvoris Flora / Fauna / Material or up to two guaranteed leads in the rumours board. This will need, of course, to be discussed with me. |

Pash
Overview
From the moment Pash set foot on Immortals Tongue the first time, this place has been a place of challenge for him. I love how he dealt with it this time, from the calm beginning to the final words, he was completely and utterly himself and showing just how much change he had been through - and continues to go through. Great writing!

| We did it my way! | A small mushroom with one stalk and three caps. When a cap is eaten and for a quarter break afterwards, Pash has a one level boost to his leadership. So, if he's expert, he becomes master, etc. This is due to it giving a chemical boost to confidence. There are three uses. |
| Well, you don't see that every trial! | Pash's incredible bravery earned him a +5 to fame and three extra knowledges in a skill of your choice, taught to you by a very impressed member of the Elements, who had heard of what you did out there. Please PM me to confirm them and I will amend this review.Blades (Dagger): Pinning an enemy with your weapon, Blades (Dagger): Adjusting swing for a larger opponent & Blades (Dagger): Aim for the vitals |

| Critical Decision Made! | For acting in a moment of crisis, Pash, Kali and Kura are rewarded by the Scalvoris Council. They are each given a different item. Pash is given an Egilrun-glass lute. It is red glass, crafted from the blue sand and produces achingly beautiful music. (Info on the sand etc here) |

| A song of Ice and Fire | Thanks to the extreme breath control training he received here, trying to shout above the storm and fire and ice, Pash is now able to hold a note for longer ~ he can sing an unwavering tone for the absolute maximum of mortal ability. His voice also takes on a haunting quality, if he chooses to use it. |
Elithem:
For bravery and strength in your fight against the mossters, Zanik rewards you:
► Show Spoiler
Temptations (Minor)
When in use, the Elithem aura is able to extend briefly from the character to another individual within arms reach. The aura acts as a transmitter and receiver, implanting suggestions into the person's thoughts while the character receives impressions of the individuals' interests and desires. The ability may only be used on 1 person at a time.(Certain skills, like meditation, may prevent this ability from working.)
Musical Enchantment (Moderate)
After two song progressions, whether by musical instrument or singing, the character is able to mesmerize and control a decently sized crowd around them. They are able to send out strong emotional suggestions to their audience that may be either positive or negative. Depending on the strength of the suggestions and the individual's mentality, the character is able to implant emotional memories into the minds of the people, causing them to have false memories of certain events.

| Name, Rank & Serial Number! | Kura has found three small nuts. They are tasteless, but when one is eaten, and for a quarter break afterwards, Kura has a one level boost to her interrogation. So, if she's expert, she becomes master, etc. This is due to them giving a chemical boost to her mind, making her questioning sharper. There are three uses. |
| Natural Leader | This provided +5 to fame, above |
| Possibly the most important question of all | Kura has gained significant reputation with the Elements. This positively impacts her job and allows her to have more sway with the Militant. OOC this means that you have a one use "favour" to pull in with any one Council member on Scalvoris. This will be a small favour with most, but anything to do with the military and the favour can be a biggie. Requires prophet ok. |
| Close, but no cigar | No cigars here - instead Kura comes across a very rare, unusual, tobacco plant which is a particularly nice aroma / taste and seems to just always replace any leaves she takes from it. Like, it grows leaves every trial. Weird. Just that one, cuttings from it don't have the same affect, but that one seems to have been touched by Immortals Tongue. |

They are crafted from glass made with rainbow sand and so constantly shifts and change colour. They make for a very unique set, sure to be a hit at all those official dinners.
