From: endeavor@mit.edu (Kate Mahoney) Oh right, with the remailer crowd. I knew that. ;) Having Logrus called to mind is slightly distracting, i.e. you can walk & chat but you might have trouble doing something that's more complicated (fighting, playing chess, etc.) Searching with the Logrus is much more distracting, say as distracting as reading a book for a "normal" speed search. In other words you can pay less attention, but it will cost you efficiency. Doing both at once will cost you efficiency, make it hard to keep up even casual conversation (ie noticeably distracted), and will tire you out faster.

His name was Yerkes and he found you when you were thirteen or fourteen. You were exploring one of the Minobees quieter byways and had gotten lost when he found you and brought you to his little home. It was perhaps two rooms, and living room, with two sleeping pallets (He has a servant named Sergei, whom you never heard speak a word.) a table, and a hearth, and a second room, his workroom, which you were never allowed into. He gave you some tea and offered to show you the way home and said you might come back and see him if you liked, though he asked that you tell know one you had met him, for he had made powerful enemies and feared what would happen if they ever found him here. [I'll assume you came back to visit -- how long did you wait before the first return visit?] He was always kind, if a litle cryptic, and on the third or fourth visit, he said you seemed like you might have a talent for sorcery and would you like to learn? This you should also keep a secret. [Here I assume you said yes -- did you say so immediately or did you consider it a while?] He gave you lesssons regularly, perhaps once or twice a week for many years. He was very talented at explaining magic too you, and only rarely had to demonstrate actuall spells for you to figure out how to perform them yourself. He stressed care and caution, but did not seem averse to exploring the limits of magic. When you had walked the logrus and achieved some reasonable competance in it, he explained to you how to use sorcery to call the logrus to mind and even to incorporate the Logrus into your spells to make them stronger. By this time you were getting older and were considering ranging out in shadow on your own. Shortly after King Staffan was killed, you went to visit Yerkes, only to find his home burned to the ground and no trace of either Yerkes or Sergei.  1,, Summary-line: 16-Mar to: mer@mit.edu [39] #[Hydra] current points Date: 16 Mar 1997 23:17:59 -0500 To: Shoshana Jasby Subject: [Hydra] current points From: endeavor@mit.edu (Kate Mahoney) *** EOOH *** Date: 16 Mar 1997 23:17:59 -0500 To: Shoshana Jasby Subject: [Hydra] current points From: endeavor@mit.edu (Kate Mahoney) Shoshana Jasby 22 Psyche [1] -10 Strength [C] 5 Endurance [2] -3 Warfare [8.5] ---- 14 Attributes total 35 Shapeshift Combat for is 2: Resistant to firearms 2: Double damage 45 Logrus Mastery 20 Logrus Sorcery 1 Status 4 Ring of Scorpion tears: sensitivity to danger; limited shapeshift -- jewelry 2 Scorpion tears: n&n; self healing 3 Armor: resistant to firearms; invisible form --- 124 Subtotal -10 diary -10 web page & art -10 Bad stuff --- 94 TOTAL 6 unspent  1,, Summary-line: 17-Mar lacerate@crystald.com [41] #Hydra: strengths and weaknesses Received: from PACIFIC-CARRIER-ANNEX.MIT.EDU by po7.MIT.EDU (5.61/4.7) id AA03966; Mon, 17 Mar 97 20:31:26 EST Received: from totoro.crystald.com by MIT.EDU with SMTP id AA08603; Mon, 17 Mar 97 20:31:11 EST Received: from mwong.crystald.com (mwong.crystald.com.131.185.205.in-addr.arpa [205.185.131.106]) by totoro.crystald.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id SAA07620 for ; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 18:41:30 GMT Message-Id: <2.2.32.19970318013147.006b43f8@totoro> X-Sender: mwong@totoro X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 17:31:47 -0800 To: endeavor@MIT.EDU From: Meilin Subject: Hydra: strengths and weaknesses *** EOOH *** Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 17:31:47 -0800 To: endeavor@MIT.EDU From: Meilin Subject: Hydra: strengths and weaknesses i had an outstanding meta-question. what do you think of my strengths and weaknesses ideas? i've cut and pasted them from my web page. Shapeshift: Shoshana is stubborn and persistent. I see that she might be better at holding shapes at the expense of taking more time to learn new ones. An alternative is that she's quick to change but that her involuntary shapeshift is too quick too. This seems less like her though. Warfare: Strength: A "find weakness" sort of sense to determine pressure points, the best place to hit, etc. This is a refinement of "Tactical Vision." Weakness: swords. I had a short childhood story in mind which I never got around to writing which basically amounted to having gotten badly wounded in a fencing (insert appropriate blade weapon) class. Perhaps even by Harold - but he might've been too old to be in my class. There maybe was some outside rivalry/animosity involved, but it was mainly due to the weapon being a little too large/heavy and my refusal to admit this or give ground. Afterwards I refused to make any accusations which led to an uneasy tension for a while between me and whoever it was. Logrus: Strength: Skill with logrus combat and manipulation - fine motor control. Basically, I'd be able to do with the Logrus what I'd always wanted to do with swords but tended to fail at, namely hit hard where I could see it counts. Shaped Logrus charges comes to mind... Another thing I was interested in was doing tricks like pulling someone's heart out with the Logrus. Is there such thing as a sharp Logrus tendril? And Logrus sculpture would fall in this category too :-) These things might start to fall in the "Advanced Logrus" category. Weakness: Logrus Defense. I'm not really sure what makes sense for a weakness here... Maybe I'm bad at breaking down defenses. Another possibility is tending to be slow at the Logrus search. Though I've used that a fair bit already, so there might be a precedence for NOT having this as a weakness.  1,, Summary-line: 17-Mar lacerate@crystald.com [14] #Hydra: sorcery teacher Received: from PACIFIC-CARRIER-ANNEX.MIT.EDU by po7.MIT.EDU (5.61/4.7) id AA03915; Mon, 17 Mar 97 20:31:13 EST Received: from totoro.crystald.com by MIT.EDU with SMTP id AA08573; Mon, 17 Mar 97 20:31:01 EST Received: from mwong.crystald.com (mwong.crystald.com.131.185.205.in-addr.arpa [205.185.131.106]) by totoro.crystald.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id SAA07611; Mon, 17 Mar 1997 18:41:16 GMT Message-Id: <2.2.32.19970318013133.006d9af4@totoro> X-Sender: mwong@totoro X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (32) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 17:31:33 -0800 To: endeavor@MIT.EDU From: Meilin Subject: Hydra: sorcery teacher Cc: mer@MIT.EDU *** EOOH *** Date: Mon, 17 Mar 1997 17:31:33 -0800 To: endeavor@MIT.EDU From: Meilin Subject: Hydra: sorcery teacher Cc: mer@MIT.EDU >[I'll assume you came back to visit -- how long did you wait before >the first return visit?] one week >did you say so immediately or did you consider it a while? i chose immediately but did not say so, waiting until the end of my visit during which time i considered possible drawbacks.  1, answered,, Summary-line: 20-Mar lacerate@crystald.com [8] #Hydra - Atlantean mob status?

Sidana is not currently making one of her in frequent appearances, which comes as no surprise. Morgan seems as though something is irritating her. Minobee seems _not_ to be the place to look just now -- there's an air of tension, that seems to indicate that something significant is in the works. You actually find some of the information you want in Jasby: there are still people around in Jasby who had at least moderate amounts of power in your grandfather's court. It turns out that Jasra is not only part demon, but also a very minor member of House Soward (one of the smaller houses, an Earldom). They can suggest some places in the Black Zone which Soward frequents and perhaps give you some information about what kind of demon stock she's descended from... It maight take a little digging" I rest off in a quiet shadow, then quietly follow up on my previous investigation. I'll let you re-interpret what that means. Either returning to Jasby and getting the names of Black Zone places, or digging more to get information on Jasra's demon stock. In Jasby, I use my human form.
