We have had several turns already. Thankfully, we didn't lose the bastion during our last mission against the False Hydra.   Current Turn: I want to get another Barracks turn. Falchion will recruit 4 more Warforged to protect our Bastion. Giving us a total of 12 defenders.

Week 4: Harvest - Healing Herbs   I requested that Actaea provide me with a Potion of Healing (Greater) using the herbs from the greenhouse. She came through and provided me with a wonderful sample for my missions, should it come to that.

1. All is well, the leak in the roof has been fixed   2. All is well, You-Know-Who lost their spectacles again.   3. All is well, You received a lovely letter from a friend.   To my wandering friend, Severus,   I hope this letter finds you in good spirits, though I suspect you’ve been chasing shadows again. You always did have a knack for running toward the things most people run from.   It’s been too long since our last drink, too long since I last heard that silver tongue of yours spin a tale that left an entire tavern hanging on your every word. Do you still sing with the same fire? Do your songs still make people laugh, weep, and wonder all in the same breath? I’d like to think so.   I won’t waste your time—I’m writing because I find myself missing our old ways. The road is lonelier without you, my friend. There was a time when we walked it together, lifting spirits, lifting purses (when necessary), and finding joy in the in-between places of the world. You had a light in you, even when you didn’t believe it yourself. Do you still?   I’m in Riverhaven, and if you’re passing through, I’d buy the first round. And the second. We can swap stories, trade old songs, and pretend—just for a little while—that the past doesn’t weigh so heavy.   If you don’t come, I’ll understand. Some roads don’t loop back around. But if they do, and if you choose to follow this one, you know where to find me.   Yours in song and shadow, Lirien Vale   P.S. I still have that melody you hummed when you thought no one was listening. I turned it into a song. It’s quite popular—though I never take credit for it.   4. All is well, A merchant over-delivered supplies; the pantry is well-stocked.   5. All is well, The resident healer gave free check-ups—everyone is in top shape!   6. All is well, accident reports are way down.   7. Magical discovery, Your hirelings discover or accidentally create an Uncommon magic item of your choice at no cost to you. The magic item must be a Potion or Scroll.   8. All is well, One of your hirelings adopted a stray dog.   9. Treasure, 250gp bejeweled gold bracelet (mundane)   10. All is well, The leak in the roof has been fixed.

Week 15: I've asked the Centaurs in my Sanctum to pray for Ser Wyn for a week while we are gone. It will help bolster him while we are in battle.

Week 16: Greenhouse- Harvest Poison   Ive asked Actaea to do something a little...questionable. I've asked her to prepare a Poison of Malice for me. It may help us in a future fight.

Week 17: Barracks - Recruit Bastion Defenders   Falchion was worried about us being gone for so long that he asked me if he could recruit some more defenders for The SSSnake Pit. I told him to go ahead.

Severus goes to Actaea, the Dryad, and asks her to brew him a healing potion from the Greenhouse. A potion of greater healing to be exact. Severus thanks her for her service and he goes off to fight in the pits.
