Kiwi’s Diary

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 1

I woke up surprised by the snow this morning! I'll definitely take the opportunity to visit the bathhouse today. I don't feel well equipped for winter right now, and this tent isn't exactly the best for it either. I should look for supplies to build a better shelter, and maybe some winter clothes wouldn't hurt. I decided to leave the tent and head towards the square, looking around, hoping to find some new shops that might be useful.

Ask the spirit of the forest • Do I see a clothing store on the street? Roll: 61 → YES

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 2

A house on the right, on the main road, had clothes hanging out to dry in the wind. I noticed a very distinctive sign on the house: "Timeless Threads" composed of many intertwined threads. Outside what I began to think was a shop, and not a normal house, a figure approached from the nearby woods.

"I heard you coming!" she pointed to the ground.

I just now noticed some threads (actually, no, they were almost invisible) running toward the woods and the shop. I must have stepped on them by mistake. I looked at her curiously and asked if she had any winter clothes to trade with me but I only have some berries to exchange...

Try Your Best!! Trade with Aeloria Action Die: 6 → total 8 (public speaking skill 1 + heart 1) Challenge Dice: 9 and 1 Result: Weak Hit ✅/⏳ Day: 1/4

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 3

She let me know she should still have something wintery in the warehouse, or the lab... or whatever! I saw her disappear into the forest, so I started chasing her. Everything is surrounded by threads... the lab and the surrounding woods. Threads everywhere! I heard some unpleasant noises coming from the building. Aeloria explained that the noise is coming from one of her machines that recently jammed. (There's the weaver rumor I'd heard about the past few days!) She asked me for help; maybe the two of us can untangle it from the threads tangled inside (go trust those centuries-old machines passed down through generations...)

Try Your Best!! Untangle the machine using force Action Die: 3 → total 6 (iron 3) Challenge Dice: 3 and 1 Result: Strong Hit ✅/✅ Day: 1/4

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 4

Success! Everything was back up and running. And what a marvel to see! The threads intertwined and fed into the machine, which then produced new threads that will then be used to make new clothes. Aelora then gave me some winter clothes after checking my size. I thanked her, swapping my berries, and headed towards Sindri. I almost forgot I have a big task to complete today.

I noticed flashes coming from the shop (I was hoping everything was going well), and I heard voices. Not just Sindri's...

Ask the spirit of the forest • Do I understand who Sindri is talking to? Roll: 100 → YES and it complicates things.

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 5

I recognized Hesperia's voice and dashed into the shop. She wasn't there. She was on a magical call to help Sindri with various spells. I shouted above the voices. I wanted to speak to Hesperia. I HAD to know where she was.

Try Your Best!! Talk to Hesperia Action Die: 3 → total 5 (public speaking skill 1 + heart 1) Challenge Dice: 2 and 0 Result: Strong Hit ✅/✅ Promise: Return to town and talk to Hesperia. 4/12 Day: 1/4

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 6

Hesperia noticed me and smiled. I wanted to ask her so many things. Why wasn't she here when I arrived? That's exactly why I came to Green River! Meanwhile, Sindri was still focused on his spells.

Ask the spirit of the forest • Can you tell me where you are? Roll: 73 → YES • Are you studying? Roll: 35 → NO • Will you be back soon? Roll: 56 → YES • Can you give me a date? Roll: 82 → YES Roll for date: 5 → Spring 5!!!

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 7

Hesperia answered all my questions with her usual calm. She was at Moonlit Rest, but she couldn't tell me the exact reason. She had other travels to do, but I finally figured out when she plans to return. Spring 5 isn't that far away… I guess. Before concluding the magical call, she gave Sindri some final instructions and explained how I can help him infuse my tools. It was time to work some magic with my own paws!

Try Your Best!! Infuse your tools with magic Action Die: 6 → total 8 (shadow 2) Challenge Dice: 6 and 2 Result: Strong Hit ✅/✅ Promise: Find tools: 4/4 ✅ COMPLETED!!! Day: 1/4

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 8

The magic worked perfectly. I didn't think I could do it! I'm just a beginner (it's obvious Sindri did it without me noticing, and the magic water from the river did the rest). I hugged my brand new tools! From now on, I'll have: Hoe, Pickaxe, Axe, Watering Can, Pan at my disposal. And they're completely attuned to me! Wonderful ♥

Reap the benefits! Tools aquired Day: 2/4

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 9

Given the fantastic result, I decide to offer Sindri the rest of the berries I had as a victory snack. We spent some time chatting about our results and what happened today.

I said goodbye to him and headed to the bathhouse. The building was huge; in fact, there were two! I was wondering if Granola was inside...

Ask the spirit of the forest • Is there Granola? Roll: 44 → NO • Is there anyone else? Roll: 5 → NO

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 10

I didn't seem to see anyone... I looked around some more. I decided to knock on the door (with attitude!).

Try Your Best!! Try to make yourself heard by knocking loudly Action Die: 2 → total 5 (iron 3) Challenge Dice: 6 and 2 Result: Weak Hit ✅/⏳ Day: 3/4

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 11

After a long while, a kangaroo I didn't recognize came to open the door for me... wrapped in towels and very sleepy. He introduced himself as Muesli, Granola's husband. He was taking a bath at the spa and invites me to do the same. As we walked to the locker rooms, I noticed some calendars on the counter.

Ask the spirit of the forest • Can I have a calendar? Roll: 97 → YES

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 12

I'll pick one up when I get home. After leading me to the ladies' locker room, Muesli explained the rules and let me in.

Ask the spirit of the forest • Is there Granola at the spa? Roll: 67 → YES

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 13

Granola was lounging in the hot springs, what a lucky girl! I decided to do the same and shake off some of the chill. With eyes closed, Granola began to tell me the story of Whimsical Waters. After the tale, I felt pruney and stepped out of the boiling water. Before heading home, however, I took the opportunity to ask Granola for some useful information about the area.

Ask the spirit of the forest • Does Granola know anyone who has building materials? Roll: 10 → YES • Can you mark it on the map for me? Roll: 51 → WRONG QUESTION • Is it near the square? Roll: 99 → YES and it complicates things.

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 14

Granola apparently knew someone who sells materials, but she'd prefer I stay out of their way. They were not exactly on good terms... But she did tell me where I can find Sugar's shop: RootCraft. I'll check it out tomorrow.

On the way home (yes, I remembered the calendar), I did my usual tour of the nearby bushes. Just in case.

Root Around!! Wander the wilderness looking for anything of value • First roll: 55 bugs (1)

Winter 13, Soup day (flurry) – Part 15

Well… I found some bugs. Disgusting! (what did I expect to find in the forest?) I closed my eyes, hoping the snow wouldn't cover everything tomorrow, otherwise it would be a difficult day for walking.
