Thread: Brew And Bar Between

Participants: Darius Baer with settlement NPCs.
Brief description of thread: Kerik, a brewer who feels he owes Darius for helping him clear his debts in Almund, makes a new beer from Faldrass potato and asks Darius to taste test.
Make your case! If you're protecting or saving Scalvorians or Scalvoris in some way, great! But if not - how does it impact the Induks? How is it impactful?: As a result of this thread, Baron's Brew gets created, providing Hopetuon with a new poential income stream and another unique element to the settlers' home. This protects them from boredom! Generally making life easier and more entertaining for the Faldrassians in Hopetoun.

	Thanks for submitting this. It won't get points, because it's really just an income stream and a unique brew. It's almost there, in terms of points. Keep in mind that the underlying base question is "are you helping Scalvoris in some way" - and I'm not sure that Darius is here. But - taken a little further, he could have been!

Thread: The Bear Necessities
Type of Forged: FireForged.
Participants: Darius Baer with personal NPCs.
Brief description of thread: Darius returns from Saiore's feast and shares a vial with Astra, before activating Baer's Bear.
Make your case! If you're protecting or saving Scalvorians or Scalvoris in some way, great! But if not - how does it impact the Induks? How is it impactful?: The bear can serve as a protector for the people of Hopetoun, and a deterrent to anyone wishing to cause harm to these proud Faldrassians!

Thread: The Curious Matter of Baby Trees II - The Return
The Curious Matter of Baby Trees - Episode III - The Revenge of Storm
Type of Forged: IceForged.
Participants: The one and only Elisabeth
Brief description of thread: Haven settlers and Elisabeth planting baby trees to help the ecosystem of Faldrass recover.
Make your case! If you're protecting or saving Scalvorians or Scalvoris in some way, great! But if not - how does it impact the Induks? How is it impactful?: Elisabeth shows concern for trying to help restore the ecosystem of Faldrass, deciding to plant baby trees brought from the old Haven site, and educating the settlers on the impact new trees could have.The overall ecosystem of Faldrass was rocked with the eruption and Elisabeth is trying to help by planting new flora and educating. This will be an ongoing mission of hers.

Thread: Eight Sleepers
Type of Forged: Soul Forged
Participants: Woe
Brief description of thread: Woe attends the Celebration of Dreams event with his NPC Augusta. He's gonna dreamwalk into her dreamscape to scope out what's going on there, the whole day. A series of dream threads will follow (lucid)
Make your case! If you're protecting or saving Scalvorians or Scalvoris in some way, great! But if not - how does it impact the Induks? How is it impactful?: I'm not sure. Woe will be delving into her dreams, and trying to figure out what's going on in her mind. Maybe he's protecting her as a new citizen of Scalvoris? Although it can also be seen as an intrusion. Anyway, I'm not sure if the Induks will care about the dream threads, whether they're lucid/involve dreamwalking or not.

!	Message from: Peg
	Thanks for submitting this - it's an important point of clarification. They don't care about dream threads at all, so no points will be given for them. I'm not going to say never, but it would be extremely unlikely for a dream thread to gain Forged points.

Threads:
Festival of Sight
A Promise Kept
Portrait of a Baron

Type of Forged: Iceforged
Participants: Doran
Brief description of thread: On his way to Scalvoris Town, Doran discovers a locket with a picture of Enri von Smooglenuff in it. It matches the description that Stan gave him!

A few trials later, he invites Professor Fridson to dinner and asks him to help him with his research for Qylios. Professor Fridson mentions a volunteer that helped out after the collapse of the docks and that told the children stories. Both Doran and the professor agree that the man was likely Enri.

In the last thread, Doran visits the Order of the Adunih. A healer named Rami tells him about her experience with the volunteer, how there was no work that he refused to do and how he told the children stories and made them smile. Doran asks Rami to describe the volunteer to him, and Doran's assistant Plia makes a drawing of him. When Doran asks Rami about it, she confirms that the man had a scar on his arm - the mark of Cassion.

Plia's drawing matches the description that Stan gave him. He resembles Xiur. He's Enri!

Doran knows what Enri looks like now. He knows what he did and that he was in Scalvoris recently, and what more, he suspects that he might be in Scalvoris again. Enri is someone who wants to help the island during a crisis, and there has been no bigger crisis than the war against Slag's Deep recently.

Make your case! If you're protecting or saving Scalvorians or Scalvoris in some way, great! But if not - how does it impact the Induks? How is it impactful?: Enri von Smooglenuff is a hero and an important figure in Scalvoris' history that helped the island numerous times. His descendants and he played an important part throughout the centuries. Besides, Doran was given the task of finding out how Enri was involved in the events in question following the Forging. In my opinion, the Induks would likely consider Qylios' task as well as Doran's research - and his plan to find Enri himself - important, and Doran is very close to succeeding at the latter now. He knows what Enri has been up to until recently and what he looks like now even though people initiatially doubted that Enri is actually still alive!

Thread: One For The Road
The Trail on The Road
A Moment to Breathe
Type of Forged: IceForged & FireForged respectively
Participants: Elisabeth and Balthazar
Brief description of thread: This thread series addressed the challenge of thefts in Haven, while also addressing the leadership change that happened at the same time. Elisabeth and Balthazar run down clues in Haven and then stumble across more at the market in Scalvoris Town, leading Balthazar and the Elements to the thief/murderer, thus protecting Scalvorians from him.
Make your case! If you're protecting or saving Scalvorians or Scalvoris in some way, great! But if not - how does it impact the Induks? How is it impactful?: I would argue that Elisabeth and Balthazar demonstrate their commitment to protecting Scalvorians by hunting down clues and trying to resolve the thefts in the settlement. The Elements and Balthazar get most of the credit but this was a growing experience for Elisabeth early in her leadership of Haven.

Message from: Peg

Thank you for submitting these - they raise a point which is important. Please, in the future, submit your own individual threads - even if you submit these three threads, and Balth submits the same three in the next post. The PCs do different things in here, and the Induks approach things in different ways. This would award Balth +2 Fireforged points - and both of you would get +2 for a collaborative thread. So it's +4 for Balth (bringing you to 24), +2 for Elisa (bringing you to 24 too!). But be aware that day-to-day doing your job / low risk stuff is not likely to get points for protecting Scalv. The Faldrass Induk is more difficult to impress than the others. Elisabeth's part in these threads aren't really enough for her to gain more than the collaboration points - but I'd much rather modnote saying no than you not bother putting something up, so keep em coming!

Thread: I Walk The Line
Type of Forged: FireForged.
Participants: Darius Baer with Lars (settlement NPC) and Marvin (barony NPC).
Brief description of thread: Darius, Lars, and Marvin set about making the road between Smooglenuff Manor and Hopetoun safer. They do this by repairing part of the road, finding a place of shelter for future travellers, and fighting off some bandits.
Make your case! If you're protecting or saving Scalvorians or Scalvoris in some way, great! But if not - how does it impact the Induks? How is it impactful?: This should (in theory) result in safer travel between the manor and the settlement, and add a degree of security to both locations.

Thread: The Unboxing
Type of Forged: FireForged.
Participants: Darius Baer with Saoire.
Brief description of thread: Darius and Saoire have a bit of a catch up. Saoire invites Darius to open his gift, while the settlement leader shows his desire to do whatever is best for the settlers.
Make your case! If you're protecting or saving Scalvorians or Scalvoris in some way, great! But if not - how does it impact the Induks? How is it impactful?: Unsure if this is above the threshold, as it's not a 'public' setting, but it features Darius' desire to always do what's best for the settlement and those who live in it.

	Thanks for putting this up - it will certainly help your relationships / reputation, but doesn't give points.
