A Sun Geekomancer

Went back to the Mountain today just to hunt around for reagents. Still no luck on that Magicite. I thought for a moment I had found some valuable metal--but I was mistaken. I did manage to find another Crystal Sun and some Walnut Husks.

Got a letter from that blacksmith. He's going to be at the Maker's Market later this season. I guess a lot of people sell tools and components in addition to finished products. The weight of his handwriting gave me the impression that he had tried several times to write a letter--but might have either destroyed previous attempts or just driven the pen through the paper due to the force.

I did spend some time in the Mountains. I was hoping to run across some Magicite--but I am also well aware of how unlikely it would be to find any. No luck on the Magicite--but I did find some common quartz.

Spent some time carving at that Thornwood I found the other day. I decided I wanted to start making a wand, and it was far easier than I expected to form it to that general shape. I wasn't feeling very well, so this was a nice way to spend the day inside and resting. Noelle is looking much better, and she was smiling towards the end of the day. She's been shedding out all that fur from the Yeti Chest, and keeps preening it out in a near obsessive manner. She said it itches quite a bit--even worse than molting. I made a note of that in case I encounter any other harpies with the same ailment. By the early evening, Noelle took off back towards her home town. She did promise to send a letter when she got back safe, and thanked me for letting her crash on my couch.

Headed into town today. Spent 1 silver for a small jar of honey for Noelle's remedy. I also received a notice from the Museum of Magic, asking for donations. I suppose they must have seen my illustrations... Regardless, that might be a fun bit of distraction. I also visited a few stores for tools. I purchased some wood scraps (6 silver), a bone needle (20 silver), a simple carving knife (15 silver) and a boar hair brush (5 silver)

Then, I went back home and brewed the treatment for Noelle. Thankfully she was able to tolerate it well after I added the honey. The hair started falling out after about an hour, and her throat and lungs have been feeling better. She plans on staying one more night, just in case the recovery needs more time. It was noticeable that she was in better spirits. She took a hot bath and started preening out the hair right away--and she had not seemed motivated to leave the couch until then.
