  • January 16, 2020: Basecamp 34 Update #1
    • Eaves checks in with the news that Yuridia, one of Basecamp 34’s resident adepts, has finally sensed the last of “free magic” disappearing from our world.
  • January 21, 2020: Saberlane proposes using Avis Green’s aliquary
    • As the last remaining piece of magic available to the Mountaineers, Saberlane proposes using the aliquary as a kind of “Wellspring” to jumpstart the Book of Briars.
  • February 1, 2020: The Mountaineers Cast the Wellspring Spell
    • By sharing a figuration and an object of focus with an agreed-upon incantation, the Mountaineers individually cast the Wellspring all over the globe, with Saberlane casting with the aliquary in the Ackerly Green office.
    • The Book of Briars comments on the forum.
  • February 3, 2020: Saberlane is Gone
    • Saberlane is nowhere to be found after casting the Wellspring. The Mountaineers learn that he had been experiencing “memories of the future” for some time and had been able to foresee his fate enough to reassure his family that he would be back someday, but the Mountaineers are meant to carry on without him in the meantime.
  • February 3, 2020: JDobner
    • A new user, who works for a psychiatric hospital, posts to the forum claiming they have a patient obsessively apologizing and repeatedly writing the word “magiq.” After some brief questioning, the Mountaineers determine the patient is Brandon Lachmann’s childhood friend, Sacha.
  • February 6, 2020: Basecamp 34 Update #2
    • Eaves writes that the other adepts at BC34 have begun feeling remnants of their powers like a phantom limb. They have reason to believe the protections around the Guide to Magiq are still up and have discovered the historical name for the castle where they have taken residence, which roughly translates to “Lion’s Heart.”

    • Jonah is able to contact Susan Lachmann and bring her to the facility to meet with Sacha.

  • March 2, 2020: Eaves Checks In
