| Before they can really process all of this, they then find themselves in a glade having a picnic with the dreaming souls of various people from around Acryn, as well as several iterations of Adama. They rush off to one side to discuss what they have seen, much to the chagrin of the others. They eventually come back to talk to people. One Adama is young, brash and all about imposing his will on the world. Another is a bit older, and having just witnessed the resurrection of Polion is having serious doubts about all of his life choices. The third is old and has become a lot more zen about things, planning to give up his ego to become one with humanity. | Before they can really process all of this, they then find themselves in a glade having a picnic with the dreaming souls of various people from around Acryn, as well as several iterations of Adama.

| - | A serious of confusing discussions with a certain amount of dream logic take place over lunch, during which Brother Miller and Saffron convince the confused and doubtful Adama that his main problem is that he's not getting any and Saffron and he go off to sleep together, Penelope responds to the put-downs of a particularly nasty cousin of hers by repeatedly invoking the Traitor's power to stab them in the back (which the Traitor agrees is kinda deserved in this case), reducing them to tears, the dreaming soul of [[user:agata:pc:heather_goodwill|Heather Goodwill]] is granted the Divine Favour of the Splintered Man by the god himself, and Gidner works out that Adama gave up his ego to become the Dreaming Ocean, and that the Ocean can't fight back against the draconic entity that is invading it because it has no concentrated will with which to do so. | + | A serious of confusing discussions with a certain amount of dream logic take place over lunch, during which Brother Miller and Saffron convince the confused and doubtful Adama that his main problem is that he's not getting any and Saffron and he go off to sleep together, Penelope responds to the put-downs of a particularly nasty cousin of hers by repeatedly invoking the Traitor's power to stab them in the back (which the Traitor agrees is kinda deserved in this case), reducing them to tears, the completely unaware [[user:agata:pc:heather_goodwill|Heather Goodwill]] is granted the Divine Favour of the Splintered Man after Howard attempts to grant his favour to someone's dream image of her, and Gidner works out that Adama gave up his ego to become the Dreaming Ocean, and that the Ocean can't fight back against the draconic entity that is invading it because it has no concentrated will with which to do so. |
| Eventually the party find themselves back in the ocean, the creature still behind them ever drawing closer, and the pearl held in the jaws of a leviathan. Retrieving the pearl, they continue to find a second pearl caught up in some seaweed down a crevice with various sea creatures lurking within. The party make their way inside, free the pearl, where it becomes apparent that these pearls are the ego of Adama, and make their way back out of the crevice. | Eventually the party find themselves back in the ocean, the creature still behind them ever drawing closer, and the pearl held in the jaws of a leviathan.

| Saffron has given birth to a flock of 5 small winged lizards. She attempts to call to them and gather them, but they're having too much fun flying around. Calling on the Tender's power, Vincenzo performs a miracle of animal empathy to win the babies over and convince them to come down. He is able to determine that three are female, and the other two are male. | Saffron has given birth to a flock of 5 small winged lizards.

| - | Using his empathic nature as one Born from Possibilities, Howard attempts to communicate with them and asks their names. They give their names as [to be filled in by Dan]. Saffron feeds them some of her rations and tells them more about home as Vincenzo attempts to teach them of right and wrong and Howard gives his lecture on what makes a man righteous. They seem to understand, and seem like reasonably smart children. Nobody has Howard ask if he can steal their identity, but they say that others shouldn't look like them. | + | Using his empathic nature as one Born from Possibilities, Howard attempts to communicate with them and asks their names.

| Starting to think about how they'll get home and taking a more detailed look around, the area ahead doesn't seem to make sense. The world the party are in just stops, and ocean begins. Gidner steps through to test the nature of the ocean and reverts to merman form. Seeing a man ahead covered in seaweed and anemones tips him off that this is in fact the actual ocean in the real world, and that this is the true body of Adama, the Dreaming Ocean. | Starting to think about how they'll get home and taking a more detailed look around, the area ahead doesn't seem to make sense.

| - | [I'll leave Dan to fill in this part, since what each person got involves complicated things and long-term effects that need working out,] | + | === Brother Miller === |
| + | * Divine Tattoo: the ink within his tattoo seems to have been infused with either the Warrior's own will, or at least been influenced by his experiences with the dream of the Warrior. At minimum, a sword on his arm will tend to point him towards the nearest fight. A GM may choose to deliver information relevant to the Warrior via the tattoo. During 1 encounter where he is particularly in tune with the spirit of the Warrior he gains 2 uses of Agility. If he should ever be slain, his body will rise up with flaming hair and finish his fight (this refreshes all encounter and adventure abilities). | ||
| + | * Collosus of Battle Epic Tree | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Howard Branch === | ||
| + | * Repeated interactions with the first god have resulted in easing Howard's transition, Howard can now trigger the transition to fully manifest god instantly. It is likely that these interactions have also guided the nature of his final form. With his ascension progressing as smoothly as it is, he may also use Miracle a second time during an adventure. However, doing so will require a psychic combat to prevent him ascending as he does so. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Vincenzo Cargan === | ||
| + | * Guardian of Dreams Epic Tree | ||
| + | * Truly Favoured of the Tender | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Penelope Cargan === | ||
| + | * Guardian of Dreams Epic Tree | ||
| + | * True Face of the Traitor Epic Tree | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Nobody === | ||
| + | * Nobody's increasing connection to Mudra means that once per an adventure he may safely take on the identity of a Dragonborn, effectively gaining the Dragonborn epic tree for that encounter. The first time he does this he will become aware that Mudra is ashamed of what he did to the Dragonborn. Nobody MAY choose to use this a second time during an adventure, if he does this he will permanently gain the Dragonborn epic tree at the end of the adventure but lose the ability to ever cast Identity Theft or Belief Enhancement (any XP in these skills may be re-spent in the Dragonborn skills). | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Saffron === | ||
| + | * Guardian of Dreams Epic Tree | ||
| + | * Contacts: Drakes | ||
| + | * Bestial Protector Epic Tree - Zmeu sits upon the peak of the world, and will occasionally swoop in to protect you. | ||
