Anything else you want to tell us?: Not really

Thread Name & Link: Somewhere Only We Know
Date(s) Thread(s) Take Place 4 Cylus 720
PC(s) Involved: Balthazar Black
Overview / Details: Balthazar and his ship full of settlers arrive near the Serenity Garden and begin setting up the settlement that will eventually become Haven. They arrive and discover it is colder than they were prepared to deal with so Balthazar goes around and personally makes a little sand bed for each family of his settlers to buy them time to come up with a better solution. Oh and he leads a little meeting with his guards to figure out where they will get supplies/ what to do.
What impact do you think this might have?: It is the establishment of a settlement but I'm not sure if it would have any further impact. Put it here because I was given 10 renown for it.
Anything else you want to tell us?: Not that I can think of. Pre-oops so he has his magic.

Date(s) Thread(s) Take Place 27-30 Cylus
PC(s) Involved: Oram Mednix
Overview / Details: These were the threads for Oram's Blacksmith bounty thread. it is done now! The blacksmith has his box back, and Oram is claiming his reward in the form of a masterwork crossbow.
What impact do you think this might have?: Pig Boy noted this in the last thread: "The Elements have noted your involvement in tracking down the robber/murderers. Because you were helpful and obedient and didn't get in the way while they made their arrest, they probably view him favorably, and may prove more cooperative and understanding toward him for such investigations in the future." Also, perhaps Oram will add "alarms/security systems" to his line of products.
Anything else you want to tell us?: I had fun writing this. I hope folks had fun reading it. Also, it shows the role that dumb luck and dumb criminals can play in solving crimes.

Date(s) Thread(s) Take Place 15 Ashan, Arc 721
PC(s) Involved: Elisabeth
Overview / Details: Elisabeth discovers a rare form of clam, indigenous to Faldrass. Already run through the settlement system with Trouble.
What impact do you think this might have?: Rare clams. Pretty pearls. Pigs assigned additional consequences through regular review:
"Consequences: Your discovery gets back to people on the mainland, by hook or crook, you find yourself inundated with letters from scholars begging to be let into Haven to study the new specimen." Elisabeth is shown to be working to solve problems for the settlement.
Anything else you want to tell us?: One day I will stop bragging about the clams.....

Thread Name & Link: Borrowed Echoes
Date(s) Thread(s) Take Place Cylus 14, Arc 721
PC(s) Involved: Devin
Overview / Details: Devin realizes that the reputation of Becomers leaves something to be desired, so he decides to give Becoming a better name - and starts by trying to persuade his students that it is exceptionally useful and can be used to help people. Blind Becomers could echo a bat's echolocation and become much more independent, for example, and the bad guys wouldn't stand a chance at all if the Elements that are already incredibly efficient and impressive as is had Becomers!
What impact do you think this might have?: The reputation of Becomers/Becoming in Scalvoris improves slightly. Hopefully.
Anything else you want to tell us?: -

Thread Name & Link: The Pirate's Bust
Date(s) Thread(s) Take Place: 17 Ashan 721
PC(s) Involved: Balthazar Black
Overview / Details: There is a robbery in Haven, someone stole a bronze bust of Liathen Almund and two settlers are at each other's throats over it. Balthazar defuses the situation and launches an investigation, quickly determining who the culprit was. Balthazar and his shadow (I believe I made this one Trean) corner the thief in the Serenity Garden and Balthazar convinces them to turn over the bust.
What impact do you think this might have?: I didn't think it would have much impact, just Balthazar resolving a settlement issue, but put it here because he was given ten renown for it.
Anything else you want to tell us?: Maybe it would have been a better idea to just take the bust for himself?... Nah.
