I wouldn't call those woods. It's more like a bunch of bushes and shrubs. That's why the key says "foliage" instead of "woods." Anyway, it's now the enemy's turn. No enemies come into sight. DoMaya, it's now your turn.

Let's see if that can be remedied. Everyone, please post what times you'll be available between now and the ninth of May. I'm going to be away on vacation starting on the tenth and can't promise a reliable Internet connection until I'm back home on the 24th (though I'll probably be immensely jet-lagged that day, so even then, I might not be available until my biological clock readjusts).

I'll always love you, Max.

It would appear Thursday is our only hope for a session this week. Also, Lore update! I'd touched on metatheism in the entry on Dark Magic, but I felt it was deserving of a more detailed entry.

Spoiler: Metatheism

Though some outsiders regard metatheism as a religion, most metatheists consider it a philosophy instead. At its core is the belief that while the Goddess exists, people draw their strength from within rather than receive it as a blessing from the Goddess. By extension, this means essentially relying on oneself and one’s fellow mortals rather than the Goddess. Metatheism has its origins in the early Fifth Century MP among dark mages, whose magic is powered by their own souls, and was developed in response to the Church’s opposition to the practice of Dark Magic. Since then, the idea has spread into people from almost all walks of life, and it is rumored that even a few clergymen are secretly metatheists.

Other than their core beliefs, however, metatheists have a variety of different views. While some are outwardly hostile toward any sort of reliance on divine aid, criticizing what they view as dependence on the Goddess, others keep an open mind and do not go out of their way to find conflict with animists and the Church. Because there is no specific set of religious rules metatheists consider themselves bound by, there is no metatheist clergy or scripture; the closest thing they have are prominent philosophers and their writings. Among metatheists, there are three major—though not necessarily conflicting—schools of thought.

The first important metatheist philosopher, Alfred of Cascuba, considered one’s own free will paramount to one’s growth as a person. He rejected the concept of any sort of universal moral code, believing such a code to simply be a means of control. At its core, Alfredism, as it came to be called, is simply the idea that nothing is inherently good and nothing is inherently evil. Many Alfredites have written about feeling a sense of liberation through such an outlook on life. It is not unheard of, however, for people to take the concept to logical extremes and use it to justify hedonistic or barbaric pursuits. Such behavior is sometimes attributed to metatheism by Ashunerans, though many metatheists argue that hedonism and barbarism are not exclusive to metatheists. Alfredites tend to have a neutral attitude toward the Church. To an Alfredite, if someone can find happiness in adhering to the Church’s rules, it is not the Alfredite’s place to judge. However, Alfredites generally object to any effort to make people do things they would never do of their own free will, something that they tend to feel some elements in the Church try to do with their followers.

The Purge of the Shadows, a Church-sponsored attempt to eradicate Dark Magic that officially lasted from 461 to 548, led to the development of a second school of thought that supported the idea of a malevolent Goddess. The idea of a corrupt church gained support among persecuted populations, but Achaman of Colchis took the idea a step further. His view was not so much that the Church was corrupt, but rather that the Goddess herself was evil and those who followed her were either themselves evil or had been tricked into believing the Goddess was good. The atrocities committed during the Purge led many metatheists to agree with Achaman’s viewpoint, dubbed Achamanism. Many Achamanites advocate the complete destruction of the Church because of this, some even pondering the possibility of deicide. This outward hostility toward the Goddess, and by extension, her followers, is arguably the main contributing factor to tensions between metatheists and Ashunerans.

A third school of thought was developed in the mid-800s by Lydia of Radom and was named Lydianism after her. Though influenced by the writings of Achaman, she disagreed with his belief that the Goddess was evil. Rather, she considered the Great Flood and the Great Petrification signs that the Goddess was good, but fallible. Building off of this, she proposed that good and evil were independent of the will of any individual, be they mortal or divine, and that people should seek out the true nature of good and evil through their own experiences and interactions with those around them. It was Lydia’s opinion that though the Goddess was a potential source of wisdom, it was unwise to build one’s moral code exclusively off of the Goddess’s words and actions. Compared to adherents of the other major schools of thought, Lydians are generally friendly toward the Church. To a Lydian, the Church is a potential source of wisdom, but it should not be considered the sole authority on what is right and what is wrong.

An entry on animism is also in the works.

I'll always love you, Max.

Sorry, guys. Something's come up and I'm not so sure I can make it. I'll try to do so anyway, but in case I can't, y'all have been warned.

I would most likely be able to participate in a battle session sometime in the afternoon.

Considering how late that is on Pierre's end, I don't think your interview would get in the way of a session unless it's in Las Vegas or something. I don't have to get up early tomorrow, so I can't make any promises regarding when I'll be on. I'd be quite surprised if I wasn't on by noon, though (2:00 PM on Lida's end, 8:00 PM on Pierre's end).

By lighting the torch, Dorran (and, by extension, the rest of the party) can now see a single bandit on the path ahead. In addition to her weapon, she appears to have with her an icon (at this distance, it's impossible to tell who is depicted on it) and a ceremonial staff, both items likely stolen from the monastery. Pierre, it's now your turn.

That guy's got a freaking stat-boost item! GET HIM! ~~Then we must never use the item and save it for someone who really needs it.~~

Also I hope he's not one of those 'snatch and grab' thief AI's, giving us those on a fog of war map seems cruel.
In any case after him and the staff!

I'll move to the space two east of Crelarus.

That's just a regular icon. If I had meant it as a stat-boosting item, it would have been labeled "Goddess Icon." Also, please note the enemy's gender. Anyway, during the enemy's turn, the Soldier moves toward Dorran, not noticing him since he's out of her vision range. She is surprised when she finally notices him one space away, stopping abruptly. A Bowman also approaches from the west, carrying an additional icon and a tapestry with him--also probably stolen from the monastery. DoMaya, it's now your turn.

Lucius's attack hits, doing 8 points of damage and finishing the Bowman. Lucius gets the loot he was holding: The first is a tapestry that depicts a Morean noble making peace with a Dragon with the Goddess watching happily from above. The second is an icon of St. Lahar, a Northern Beorc who spent his life promoting peaceful coexistence between Dragons and Beorc. Both were almost certainly stolen from the monastery by the bandits. Lucius gets 31 EXP for the kill. Also, I noticed that I forgot to give Crelarus his combat EXP. He gets 11 EXP for the damage he did earlier. Lida, it's now your turn. Jade's transform gauge is at 23/30.

Dorran's attack hits, doing 12 points of damage and leaving the Soldier with 8/20 HP. Her counterattack also hits, doing 1 point of damage and leaving Dorran with 20/21 HP. Dorran gets 10 EXP from the fight. Lida, unless you want to defer again, it is now your turn. As I said before, Jade's transform gauge is at 23/30.
