Camping | 05.05.12

Replenishing one's Spirit! Despite no longer existing in the Land of the Living, a spirit should familiarize themselves with taking care of their own projection. A spirit still requires their own projected self in the Land of the Dead to rest. Wounds caused by other projections, hostile or otherwise, still require healing. Energy lost from a spirit, requires replenishing. What once was, is still relatively the same. Such similarities from one realm to the next does offer some comfort and can keep your spirit in existence within the woven bind of the realm itself. Setting up camp Introduced in Shadewood, camping played a part in allowing one to rest and memorize spells without the need of finding an inn or returning to one's laboratory. As in the previous module, one must find a campsite, have a camping kit, and some wood. Igniting the wood by using a camping kit removes the limit on how long the campfire burns. This is now replaced by a water bucket to douse the flames when one's spirit is ready to move on. If the wood is set aflame with a Flare Weave rather than a camping kit, the fire only burns for a limited time. Unpacking the a mixing container The Mixing Container is the newest addition to the modified camping system. It allows the creation of basic potions and mixtures that the Auren Society of Weavers make use of and need more in their travels than some of the complicated brews which can only be mixed in a laboratory. Finding growing reagents in the wild no longer requires one to make a journey all the way back to their laboratory to brew a simple potion that can heal one's projection. Now, it can be done while on the road. A bubbling pot! Finally, there is the cooking pot and spit, also used along with the camping kit and wood. The cooking pot will allow one to cook mixtures, such as vegetable soup or even beef vegetable soup, which can replenish a spirit's energy if one does not have access to healing potions. Although, such substitutes is by no means better than the offered energy of a healing potion. What's on the menu for this evening? The spit cooks raw meat, such as beef, chicken and fish. Such levels of protein can be easily mixed with vegetables or fruit for a good pot of warm soup, for that quick hearty meal on the go. And to ease the mind of any who are pondering, eating is not a requirement in Fate of the Auren. It is there to use or not and plays no part besides offering a player more options when potions are on short supply. Fruit and vegetables will heal the energy of a spirit by one point. While mixing beef, vegetables or fruit into a bubbling pot, allows for more variety and recipes to any who enjoy such details.
