CHAPTER 1
BROKEN DISHES

you to absorb a small portion of the power of your foes. As you

even their traits.

1) 500 XP + 346 XP (2 per myemar killed)
2) Newly rewarded Elite Quest
Objectives:
1) Rid New Rome of any myemar who remain within its walls.
2) Determine the means used by the myemar to reach the city.
3) Close or otherwise prevent the use of such routes.
4) Kill as many of the myemar elite as possible, in order to limit
their future ability to make war.
5) Rescue or avenge any humans captured by the myemar.
Rewards:
1625 XP + 1-5 XP for each chopper, shaman, lasher, champion,
or goliath slain.
One piece of epic gear or a permanent stat bonus of +4 to the
stat of your choice for both you and your familiar.
Objectives:
1) Learn what you can about the history of which patrons have
selected 1st gens from the various races.
Find out the history of traits and learn about others who may
have possessed more than one trait.
Determine if it is possible to change patrons.
Rewards:
A new beneficial trait.
Possible patron transfer.
Possible trait exchange for existing trait.
Tim stared at those quests. The XP for pushing back the myemar
was nice; it put him up to 156,961/192,000. That was a valuable
jump. Fighting the higher-level myemar had also helped Mischief. He
had managed to reach level 7. He’d need to check in with him later,
but he had been napping since the battle ended, and Tim didn’t
really want to wake him.
Just when Tim was about to close the notifications, another line
popped up.
She isn’t half as smart as she thinks she is.
Just that. No insults aimed at him. No demands for
entertainment, but there was little doubt the source of that statement.
Tim almost wondered that he didn’t give him a quest that conflicted
with the ones Semona was handing out. Oh, well, what did a mouse
do when cats fought over it? Hmm… maybe Tim could ask Mischief
when he woke up. He might actually have a useful perspective.
For now, Tim was leaning toward accepting the Power of
Consumption. Mostly, because he didn’t trust either Cal-Dakota or
Semona. They simply weren’t giving him any reason to do so. One
liked to play at not caring, but it was obvious he cared very much
about something. Then there was Semona, who acted like sugar
wouldn’t melt in her mouth. As if. Tim was more inclined to trust the
one who was frank about using him.
Then there was this new player, Quint, for lack of a better name.
He clearly wanted something from Tim. Tim was not favorably
disposed toward him, not with the way he treated humans, or rather,
the way his servants treated humans. Then again, Tim was using the
power provided to him by patrons he didn’t trust, so why should this
be any different?
For some reason, Kayla still wasn’t back, so Tim went ahead and
looked at his character sheet.

The new harness they had won as a quest reward made a huge
difference for the mouse. In fact, they might need to decide on other
places to put the rest of his level-up stat points. The question was
what other skills could he earn for his newly available fifth slot. Tim
about choked on his tongue as he pictured the stuffy Burke’s face
when Tim asked to use the training rod for his familiar.
That aside, his familiar’s stats really were off the charts, based
upon his limited experience. The spell used to turn the mouse into
Tim’s familiar had not only bonded them with a telepathic and
sensory connection, but it had also shared some of Tim’s stats with
the little creature. Tim wondered if his familiar’s stats would be based
upon the stats he himself possessed when he cast the spell, or if
they would change the next time that Tim’s form changed.
It was telling that Tim had become resigned to the fact that he
would change again. That was the nature of his key sojourner trait:
Ephemeral. Every time he went to sleep or was knocked
unconscious, there was a cumulative 10% chance he would change
classes and bodies along with it. So far, he had been an eighty-ish
blood mage, a mid-twenties warrior, an older-twenties beastial with
wings, and now his current form, a thirty-ish naturalist, or druid, as
he tended to think of it.
Tim was so lost in his thoughts about class-building and what
plans he should make for the future that he almost felt he was
dreaming. Dueling patrons, two love interests, multiple classes, and
a host of options he didn’t even understand would have been
enough to make any guy’s head spin. But then a blood-curdling
scream woke him from his slumber, and Tim leapt to his feet.
Mischief must have heard it too, because his little head was
poking out from the pouch he slept in. There was no need for words.
Tim was leaping down the stairs three at a time. If something wanted
to threaten his friends, they would find just what a level-19 sojourner
could do.
CHAPTER 2
UNINVITED GUESTS
Myemar Goliath
Level: 15
Tribal Creature
HP: 2740
— Mutta sinä lupasit olla vain minulle sisko, sanoi Paavo. Hänen
oli vaikea luopua yksinoikeudestaan.
Nyt oli jo Paavo tyytyväinen. Hän oli tähän asti ajatellut vain
itseään.
7.
Jos minä olen lyhyempi kuin sinä, niin ainakin olen yhtä paksu.
— Koetetaan, sanoi Laila. — Jos täytät kolttuni miehustan, niin
silloin olet.
— Nyt sen näet. Minähän olenkin liian paksu, arveli Laila. Olen kai
kohta kuin pallo.
— Voi per….na!
Paavo veteli vielä muutamia isoja ahvenia, ja saalis oli nyt jo siksi
hyvä, että kannatti palata.
Metsissä ja kukkaniityillä kuljeksiessa kului päivä huomaamatta
illoilleen. Päivällinen oli jo syöty, kun palattiin. Täti oli säästänyt
Niilon saaman, paistetun ahvenen heille, ja siinä oli syömistä
jokaiselle.
Paavo sai kirjeen äidiltä. Siinä oli tosin osa Heikillekin, mutta kirje
oli osoitettu Paavolle. Huomispäivänä päätti Paavo kirjoittaa äidille ja
kertoa juhannuksen vietosta Hernemaassa. Se näytti muodostuvan
hyvin hauskaksi.
Paavo sai Lailalta luvan tanssia hänen kanssaan ensimmäisen
valssin.
Häntä vain taaskin suretti se, ettei ollut yhtä pitkä kuin Laila.
Varmaankin vieraat nauravat, kun minä olen lyhyempi kuin Laila,
vaikka
hänkään ei ole pitkä, ajatteli Paavo. Hänen täytyi keventää
sydäntään
Lailalle.
Ihana juhannus!
8.
Setä oli vielä sanonut, ettei hän saisi tulla enää yhtään kertaa
kesäksi Hernemaahan, jos vain laiskotteli niin, että koulussa sai
ehdot.
Se oli ankara tuomio, mutta Heikki lupasi pitää sen mielessään.
Hän ei enää voinut ajatellakaan muualla kesän viettoaan kuin täällä,
jossa oli herttainen Laila ja paljon muutakin kaunista.
— Ooho!
9.
Hernemaassa oli äkäinen pässi, ja Paavo oli ollut sitä
härnäämässä. Hänelle oli johtunut mieleen, että kaupungissakin
härnäsivät pojat suutarin matamin pässiä. Miksei tätäkin saisi
härnätä. Sehän oli niin kovin hauskaa.
— No, no, Paavo, ei saa… tule nyt sisään, niin saat mansikoita,
lupasi serkku.
Paavon harmi oli tiessään.
Paavo vaikeni. Vasikat olivat olleet niin hassun näköisiä, kun hän
niitä ajoi. Ei hän tietänyt, että Laila näki.
10.
— Tuonkin mökin isä ja äiti ovat kerran olleet pieniä, niinkuin tekin
nyt. Heillä oli vain tuollainen mökki kotina ja heidän täytyi lähteä
maailmalle elättämään henkeään ihmisten työtä tekemällä, niinkuin
teki isäkin. Heillä näes ei ollut omaa maata, jota muokaten olisivat
voineet hankkia leipänsä, vaan maa heidän tupansa ympärillä oli
toisen, joka ei sitä antanut heidän viljellä muuta kuin pienen
perunamaan.
11.
12.
Niityllä oli kovin hauskaa. Hei, miten haravat heiluivat ja heinä
kuivui niin että ritisi. Se tuoksui voimakkaasti vielä kuivuessaankin.
— Minulle tuli niin kuuma, että piti lähteä uimaan, sanoi hän ja
tarkasteli, mitä Laila mahtoi ajatella.
Nauroi, veitikka. Kyllä kai Laila arvasi, minkä vuoksi hän oli niityltä
lähtenyt. Ja sitäpaitsi setä oli kieltänyt puhumasta toisin, kuin asia
oli.
— Minulle tuli niin paha mieli, kun sinä sanoit niin, virkkoi Heikki, ja
sen vuoksi minä lähdin. Ei puhuta nyt enää siitä mitään, eikös?
