Oh, some years back another witch, doing much as I am now, came through town and found me, I followed here as Our Priest was becoming suspicious of me...  since then I have learned quite a bit and hope to find other like you and teach them, so they remain safe and useful to our people.


The Old man went back in his cabin, he will likely still work with you too...

In reply to Becka (msg # 11):

"I see. Yes, I can mend, but right now probably my biggest skill is catching lunch! The tyranny of the urgent!"

She laughs... Are you hungry? I have bread, soft cheese and some ham... can you make a fire there she points to a spot away from leave and dry grass that has been used before.

In reply to Becka (msg # 13):

"It will go well with the rabbit I caught earlier."

He starts to build a fire...

Well then ask Master Leteul to join us then.

In reply to Becka (msg # 15):

"Good idea. Master,  wont you join us for supper?"

The Old man Nods and comes out to sit by the fire.

A Bit early for dinner, but I can adjust as needed ... nice of you to do this.

Not a Problem, what have you been able to teach Moss so far?

Therein ensues a long conversation as Leteul tells them he needs to retire soon and Moss is in no way ready to take on the needs of the locals.  Becka Nods as says she will stay near and fill the need so Leteul can retire with a clean conscience.

During this the rabbit, some ham, cheese and wine is consumed by all.

Becka locates a deserted cabin near the town of Woodmuth and seems to have it fixed up in no time. Quite soon it is as nice as Leteul's with a big garden and healthy plants all around. She starts teach Moss plants, adding to what he knows and teaching him new uses for them as well as new plants. She teaches a lot and then asks questions days later to check and see if he remembered. After about 5 weeks she has him move to her cabin and leave Leteul in peace.  She provides Moss a place in the loft with a straw mattress and sheets. He also gets to eat more than he did at home... well more often, but also smaller meals. He seldom finds himself hungry though and the teaching continues at a fast pace.
One Evening she calls Moss back down from his Loft and confronts him ... I know you are peeking at me when I change clothes and bathe, why?

You may pick out 4 spells from the Level one and level 0 spells, emphasis on healing and plant spells.

In reply to Master of Fates (msg # 17):

Moss is not shy about finding her body most attractive. He is young and full of hormones...

Will get to adding to the spells probably on Monday, when I get some longer posts in!

She tilts her head slightly to the right and you think you see the faintest hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Do You Now, and peeking is your way of admiring me? In Secret?

In reply to Becka (msg # 19):

"I was looking for a more appropriate way...do you have any suggestions?"

I suppose, She doffs her gown and throws it on he bed, standing there in her um ... altogether.
Now strip off your clothes as well so I to can peek at you.

In reply to Becka (msg # 21):

Moss need no further invitation, and will take things as far as he can, like any hot-blooded teenager...

Stop! I did not invite you over here. Now you have had a good peek as have I, let there be no more of this peeking stuff.
If you have a question, ask it ...it's how you learn.

She turns presenting her backside and bends, picking up her shift and slipping it back on.

In reply to Becka (msg # 23):

He will try to find out from her what it would take to take things further...

She turns back and looks at him directly.  Let's get to know each other a bit better, You only been here a short time.

In reply to Becka (msg # 25):

"Off course, Ma'am."

He will recompose himself and set about his studies...

Come Morning things are a bit more relaxed. You have a big breakfast and then settle down under a tree outside with Becka. OK, Let's start you on some simple spells, are there any you specifically would like to learn? [you were provided a list and short description a few days back].

OOC - This 'Learning from the bottom up seems slow and boring to me... to you as well?  If we assumed that you had learned a bunch, so that you could be able to start functioning on your own, would that be better?

In reply to Master of Fates (msg # 28):

Yeah, I could give you a list, and e could work from there...

OK, Let's assume that you have spent a LOng time with Becca, say closing in on two years and you know 20 spells from the 0 and 1st level spells. Remember the emphasis is on spells that help others, but some to help you not get caught.
You will also learn Both Level 1 Rituals and have exchanged the BFF Ritual with Becca.
I will assume that she has also taught you a good bit after hours between the sheets, so you are BFFs.

Let me see the list ... Becka may make some minor alterations before you go through the Blessed Wanna Be Ritual and start your own "Stead".  You have met Becka's sponsor once or twice and she along with some Witches you don't know will attend your ritual.

In reply to Master of Fates (msg # 30):

Mossy will work on the compulsory 1st level spells to start with.

Analgesia

OK, These will work, add them to your character sheet ... don't think they'll work n spells though.

Then pick out a nearby town that you hope to become useful too ... recommend you pick a smaller place.

In reply to Master of Fates (msg # 32):

Meadowrue seems a suitable small place...added to sheet.

Becka helps you move your things up there with a cart .. sort of over kill given how much you don't own. But you are able to find a run down cabin. It's almost as if Becka knew it was there. You start looking at what it would take to fix it up, when a wood cutter shows up, I'd nay be a movin' in there, belonged ta a witch and she died there ... the she just disappeared.

Becca waves Thanks be to you, but if she has passed on, she'll be no problem to the lad.

She speak more softly to you We did come and bury her, gave her the rights. She helped them a bunch, but they feared her.

The Cabin has sound bones, so to speak, but needs a good bit of repair to be warm and dry. On the other hand you find an old iron cauldron, a kettle and various tools.

We Buried her Athame with her, would do you little good, you'll need to make your own. But many of her other tools we buried in the cabin or around beside the chimney, so you should dig them up and use them. That was her garden, it need a lot of work, but many of the plants you'll need are already growing there. I'll help today, but must return to my cabin tomorrow.  We'll camp out side tonight.

In reply to Master of Fates (msg # 34):

"That sounds promising. I will miss you, especially at night. What are the villagers like?"

He looks around and gets started on the cottage first.
