Why does our air level still suck so much lol

Hello fellow nerds! We read the book 🙂 Story Update – Day 14, Early Afternoon Location: Verdant Hollow – Secret Chamber Beneath the Grove Altar Status: HP: 27 / 27 | EP: 22 / 22 Elemental Masteries: Water, Fire, Air, Earth (4/5 Masteries Achieved) Earth Strength: 11 Nyra: Present – Elemental Familiar (Veil Sense: Active) Codex: Unified Elemental Bond – 4 Glyphs active You kneel beside the altar and carefully unroll the Rootweaver’s Notes. The parchment is aged, but pulses faintly with embedded essence—living ink that responds to your Codex. As you read, knowledge flows not just into your mind, but into your elemental core. Rootweaver’s Notes – “On the Silent Reach of Roots” “True earth is not only stone and soil, but memory. Roots stretch unseen, drawing strength from what was and binding what is to what will be. To shape the living earth, one must not force it—but listen. Coax the pattern, and it will cradle you. Resist, and it becomes the tomb of tyrants.” The words resonate deeply. A slow, grounded warmth spreads through your limbs as your Codex hums softly. +1 Permanent Earth XP gained. Earth Strength: 12 New Passive Learned: Rootbound Resilience (Passive) When below half HP, gain a minor regeneration effect and +1 elemental resistance until restored above half HP. (Earth Element only) Nyra flutters beside you, settling on your shoulder. “This is old power… deeper than the Grove. You’re more rooted now. The next steps will feel lighter.” The chamber around you is silent again—but not empty. It feels as though something ancient and gentle is watching, satisfied with your growth. What will you do next? Ask Nyra where to begin searching for the Shrine of the Echoing Veil (Spirit Temple). Use the Earthgem to empower a spell or create a new one. Depart the Verdant Hollow and prepare for the journey onward. Meditate here one last time to solidify your bond with the Earth.

Loot it is Story Update – Day 14, Midday Location: Verdant Hollow – Grove Altar, now descending into hidden chambers Status: HP: 27 / 27 | EP: 22 / 22 Elemental Masteries: Water, Fire, Air, Earth (4/5 Masteries Achieved) Nyra: Present – Restored elemental familiar; wings now patterned with glowing veins of leaflight. Codex: Unified Elemental Bond – 4 Glyphs active As the last pulse from the Grove Altar fades, you glance at Nyra. Her wings lift slightly, catching invisible currents. Then she tilts her head. "There’s something… below. Deep roots. Ancient stillness. The Hollow is not done speaking." With a trill of focus, Nyra flares her wings and releases a burst of subtle energy—Veil Sense, her ability to detect hidden or magical phenomena, once dormant, now fully reawakened after regaining her strength. Faint glimmers appear along the western roots of the altar—a false wall disguised as bark and moss. You reach out, and the Codex responds with a low harmonic tone. The wall slides aside. You descend into a hidden chamber deep beneath the Grove Altar. The walls pulse faintly with bioluminescent vines. Stone benches are carved with runes of balance and rebirth. At its heart sits a sealed chest atop an altar of green crystal, bound in earth-veined silver. Nyra alights atop it. “This is from before even the first Masters. It remembers the Shape of Growth. You should open it.” You place your hand atop the chest. The Codex flares, harmonizing with the earth-bound energies. The chest unseals with a sound like crumbling soil after rainfall. You acquire: Ring of Verdant Warding (Rare – Earthbound) +1 Earth Strength Grants Verdant Shield: Once per long rest, automatically trigger a shield of roots that blocks one incoming spell or elemental attack. Attunes instantly with your Codex Earthgem x1 (can empower Earth or Hybrid spells for 1 use) Rootweaver’s Notes (Lore: Ancient growth rites, +1 permanent Earth XP when studied) Your Codex pulses. You now have access to equip the following (auto-attunes without replacing existing gear): Ring of Verdant Warding (NEW – equipped) Total Earth Strength: 11 Nyra’s wings flicker with satisfaction. “We are ready. But the Spirit’s call is distant. Still veiled.” What will you do next? Ask Nyra about where to begin searching for the Shrine of the Echoing Veil (Spirit Temple). Read the Rootweaver’s Notes here in the quiet of the Hollow. Use the Earthgem now to empower a spell or weave something new. Depart the Verdant Hollow and prepare for the journey to the Spirit Temple.

Yay. We do the thing! Story Update – Day 14, Midday Location: Verdant Hollow – Grove Altar Status: HP: 27 / 27 | EP: 22 / 22 Elemental Masteries: Water, Fire, Air, Earth (4/5 Masteries Achieved) Glyphs: Aqua Mark, Ember Sigil, Sky Rune, Verdant Crest (NEW) Nyra: Present – Balanced and calm, quietly glowing near your shoulder The moment your Codex nears the Grove Altar, it responds like a tuning fork struck in the heart of a mountain. Vines shift, stone hums, and a green-gold pulse echoes outward from the altar's roots. Your Codex flares with deep emerald light as the Glyph of Earth etches itself into the living metal and crystal spine of your artifact—Verdant Crest, a circular sigil of branching roots entwined with a gem-like core. Your body grounds instinctively. You feel as if the world cannot shake you now—not with winds, not with fire, not with fear. You have mastered the Element of Earth. [Elemental Mastery: EARTH – Level 10] Mastery Boon: Verdant Crest Max HP +1, Max EP +1 New Passive: Stoneheart Vitality – Gain minor HP regen (1 HP/turn) while standing still or partially shielded by earth-based terrain or magic. New Passive: Rooted Harmony – All Earth-element Weaves now grant Fortify (Reduce physical damage taken by 25%) for 1 turn. Hybrid Spell Synergy: Earth now empowers hybrid spells with a "stagger resistance" buff or root-based secondary effect, based on context. Weave Fusion (1 use) – Recharged. Your Codex hums at a new resonance—four elements complete. The Unified Bond pulses more deeply now, strands of earth-threaded light weaving into the others. The edges of your being feel heavier in a protective, enduring way. Nyra circles once in the air, wings scattering dust motes of deep green and bronze. She lands lightly on your shoulder and whispers, voice a breeze through deep woods: “The Grove knows your name now. One path remains… the Spirit calls.” Codex Summary: Unified Elemental Bond – 4/5 Masteries Unlocked HP: 27 / 27 EP: 22 / 22 Elemental Strengths: Water: 13 Fire: 10 Spirit: 10 Air: 5 Earth: 10 (UPDATED) What will you do next? Ask Nyra about where to begin searching for the Shrine of the Echoing Veil (Spirit Temple). Check new spells—Earth-based or Earth hybrid Weaves may be available. Explore the Hollow’s depths for secret rooms, items, or Veil Fractures before leaving. Leave the Verdant Hollow and prepare to journey toward the final shrine.

It's gonna be weird, but fun But sadly still no muppets

Actually 10 with actual ins... and then some people that have posted but not exactly said if they will play or not Ins @Darthe @Ithillian Turambar @Gudrean @Turin Turambar @Shad_ @dicetosser1 @Tephulis @Leelou @Tigraine @peacesells

Hi hi. Feeling better?

I think I counted 14 ish last time I checked. There will be some that will be waiting for the proper sign up thread.

It is still Night ...

Clean

You ask Nyra if she'd like to play Battleships... I mean about the cult and stuff Story Update – Day 14, Midday Location: Verdant Hollow – Heartroot Alcove Status: HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 21 / 21 Elemental Masteries: Water, Fire, Air, Earth (4/5 Complete) Nyra: Present – Elemental Familiar of Spirit and Growth You glance toward Nyra, her wings catching motes of green-gold light as she hovers beside the ancient roots. Her form still radiates the bond you share—a flickering blend of elemental spirit and the arcane growth born from your journey through the Hollow. “Nyra… the Shrine of the Echoing Veil—it sounds like it’s important to you, too. What do you remember about it? About the Cult’s attempts to reach it?” Nyra flutters downward and lands lightly on the curve of a smooth root. Her leafy antennae twitch, and her glowing eyes dim with memory. “The Shrine was once a sacred meeting place for the original Guardians. Spirit was not an element of destruction, but remembrance. Balance. Renewal.” Her voice carries the weight of something older than herself. “When I was still a Seed, I felt its pull during the moonwakes—those moments when the veil between realms thins.” She hesitates, then continues, quieter. “The Cult came to the Hollow long ago. They weren’t strong enough to reach the Spirit Shrine. So they tried to mimic the conditions—blood rituals, artificial moonlight, severed memories… They failed. Miserably. And when they did, they left something behind.” You lean forward slightly. “What did they leave?” “A scar,” she says simply. “A cursed place where the veil is torn but not open. A place that draws in lost spirits, traps them in fragments of who they once were. You may see one of these fractures… before the Shrine allows you through.” Her glow pulses faintly with unease. “When the time comes, don’t force your way in. Let the Codex guide you. Let me guide you.” Lore Insight – The Cult and the Spirit Shrine The Cult attempted to access the Shrine of the Echoing Veil through force and sacrifice. Their failure created spiritual scars across the land. These “Veil Fractures” are remnants of broken Spirit-space: warped echoes of souls, half-dreams, and corrupted memories. Spirit trials ahead may require empathy, clarity, and spiritual resistance—not brute strength. Your Codex and Nyra will sense when you are near a true entrance. What will you do? Return to the Grove Altar to finalize the Earth Glyph. Search the Hollow for signs of a Veil Fracture before leaving. Use the Verdant Sap-Phial to deepen your bond with Earth and Spirit. Rest here and meditate alongside Nyra. Leave the Hollow and begin your search for the Shrine’s true location.

My God you guys. I hope it doesn't forget about the whole 'confirm the Sigil' action and start playing battleships again

^DPR. ^Me

I'm only allowed to post at night. Just trying to lighten the mood I'm a delight 🙂

We love you Nyra! Story Update – Day 14, Midday Location: Verdant Hollow – Heartroot Alcove Status: HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 21 / 21 Elemental Masteries: Water, Fire, Air, Earth (4/5 Complete) You turn to Nyra as the echo of the Earth Glyph settles in your Codex. The Verdant Hollow’s life-force pulses faintly now—no longer testing you, but guiding. “How do I prepare for the Shrine of the Echoing Veil?” you ask. Nyra folds her wings gently, her voice soft but certain. “The Shrine of the Echoing Veil lies not in the world as we know it. It is Spirit’s domain—half memory, half truth. It appears only when the soul is ready, when the Codex has aligned with enough elemental balance.” She hovers slightly higher, the green light of the Hollow reflecting across her translucent wings. “You’ve mastered four elements. That’s rare. Few ever come this close. But to reach the Veil… you must attune not just the Codex, but yourself. Spirit does not open to strength—it opens to clarity.” “Rest. Reflect. Meditate near places of stillness, like sacred groves, moonlit ruins, or places you’ve bound Spirit before. The Codex will feel the pull. And when the moon is right—or your inner harmony deep enough—it will lead you to the Shrine.” She adds, more solemnly: “The Cult has tried to reach it. They use chains and fire, force and sacrifice. But the Veil cannot be torn open. Only echoed into.” Codex Update – Spirit Shrine Attunement Unlocked The Codex is now resonating faintly with Spirit. The glyphs you’ve mastered form a foundation. To find the Shrine of the Echoing Veil, you must: Be in a place of strong natural resonance (Spirit Grove, old ruins, moonlit sanctums, etc.) Be at peace or in spiritual balance (rest, resolve conflicts, perform Spirit Weaves) Await the right moment—often at night or during celestial alignment Once conditions are met, the Codex will reveal a glowing path to the Veil’s shrine. Nyra flutters near your shoulder, her presence calm. “I’ll guide you when the time comes. But the final door must open from within.” What will you do next? Return to the Grove Altar to finalize your Earth Glyph attunement. Review your Spirit abilities and consider where to meditate. Use the Verdant Sap-Phial on the Codex and reflect on your journey. Ask Nyra about her connection to the Shrine or what she remembers of the Cult’s attempts. Rest here before beginning the next leg of your journey.

Ok we do that then Story Update – Day 14, Midday Location: Verdant Hollow – Heartroot Alcove Status: HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 21 / 21 Elemental Masteries: Water, Fire, Air, Earth (4/5 Complete) As the Earth Glyph’s energy fades into your Codex, the Verdant Hollow quiets. The memories of seed, root, and stone settle within you, grounding your steps and steadying your resolve. You turn to Nyra, her wings softly rustling as she hovers near the lifetree’s bark. “The Hollow mentioned a fifth root, one withered. Is that... connected to the Spirit Shrine? The Shrine of the Echoing Veil?” Nyra’s wings dim slightly, her glow soft. “Yes. The fifth root it spoke of is not one of soil or sun—but of Spirit. What the Hollow called the ‘withered root’ is what remains of the line that once led to the Shrine of the Echoing Veil.” “The Veil’s shrine was never anchored like the others. It drifts—appearing only at certain moon phases or when one's spirit is in resonance. The Verdant Hollow remembers it, barely, as a fading presence.” “Now that you’ve awakened four glyphs, your Codex should begin attuning to Spirit’s frequency. The Shrine may soon begin calling to you.” She places a gentle hand over your Codex, now pulsing with the green crest of Earth beside Fire, Water, and Air. “When the Veil parts, you must be ready. The Cult fears what lies hidden there—the truth that binds all echoes.” Codex Insight Updated – Shrine of the Echoing Veil (Spirit Temple) The “withered root” mentioned in the Hollow refers to the ancient, fading connection to the Spirit Shrine. The Shrine of the Echoing Veil is the final Elemental Temple and only appears under certain conditions. Your Codex, now bearing four glyphs, will begin to attune to the Spirit frequency and may soon reveal a path. The Cult of the Shrouded Flame fears this place deeply—it may contain the truth of the Heart of the Elements itself. You now bear the Earth Glyph. You have completed 4 of 5 Elemental Masteries. Codex Upgrade: You feel a tremor of power as your Weave potential grows—you may now begin preparing advanced Earth Weaves. Nyra’s bond has deepened. She senses Spirit’s resonance is awakening within you. What will you do next? Return to the Grove Altar and complete the Earth Glyph’s full attunement. Ask Nyra how to prepare for the Shrine of the Echoing Veil. Use the Verdant Sap-Phial to nourish your Codex and meditate. Review your current spell list and Earth Weave options. Begin travel back toward Windrest Hollow, or set up camp and rest.
