Starting at midnight on the 26th, Luceti and its inhabitants will find itself the focus of the Filial spirits, usually quiet and reclusive, now stepping out to deal with one of their own.

As promised, here is some additional information to help figure out how to play around with the spirits and interacting with similarly possessed people.

First off, each spirit has a certain time or place when they are at their most powerful. Consequently, characters possessed by them will enjoy these boosts and this in itself can be a deciding factor in what would otherwise be a stalemate. Here’s a quick run down:

Sona - She’s most powerful around lakes, rivers, and the ocean. Mostly this is concentrated at the southern lake.

Kipinn - He’s most powerful in high places, like mountain tops and the roofs of community buildings.

Faeren - She’s most powerful in the farmlands alongside things that grow.

Tsinku - He’s most powerful in the village itself, where technology thrives.

Eferin - He’s most powerful in the center of the forest where his heat may cause trees to burn. In fact, the upcoming forest fire may cause some trouble if his followers get too rowdy.

Hyt - It’s most powerful during the daytime under a bright sky.

Twila - It’s most powerful during the night time.

Nala- She has no domain and is generally welcome wherever she goes.

How possessed characters will deal with other possessed characters will depend on the interactions of the spirits themselves. A useful spreadsheet sums up these relationships. Those that have a friendly attitude to one another will generally allow ‘trespassers’ into their domain, but those they are not so friendly with may cause conflict.

Finally, to elaborate on Twila-possessed characters. Those with a natural affinity for darkness are likely to be possessed first. Once they have, they can try to recruit others less-compatible candidates to ‘join the cause’. Their goal is numbers. The more who are working with Twila, the better. Once they do, they’ll be inclined to act in their own self interest and if necessary, deal with others who try to get in their way. In the long term, the spirit Twila wants to stay this way, bonded to the Lucetians as hybrids, that way it cannot be imprisoned again. Think of it as pure survival instinct of an animal that’s spent way too long in a cage.

All isn’t lost. The other spirits may not be able to cage it again, but they won’t accept Twila reacting in this manner. Though it’s hard to tell what their beef with Twila is, they have an instinctive familiarity with the dark spirit and seem to act as its jail keepers.

They have the power to free people from Twila, but given their poor communication skills, figuring that out might just be a challenge. After all, the spirits can only communicate in shades of feeling and intentions, but not actually verbalize directions or marching orders. However, there will be a Malnosso post mid-event that will give everyone, possessed or otherwise, the info they need to turn things around.

During the time he's Kipinn'd too

[Garrosh is trying to work out flying. With his bulk and having never done it before, it's not working... super well. But he's actually being good spirited about, trying as he is to get off the ground from the plaza. Surprisingly good naturedly, really]

[castbytheglyph]

[Cue Pascal swooping down to watch Garrosh and his wonderful attempts at trying to get into the air.]

Heyo! Need a hand with the whole flying thing, huh? [It's hard for her to resist helping out a fellow Kipinn pal, not that she wouldn't try helping out a little if she wasn't currently possessed by the friendliest spirit around.]

[gorehowl]

[Heh] If you have any insights to give, I'll hear them.

[Pascal...]

[castbytheglyph]

Great! Okay, so you've got the flappy stuff down, but there's more to it than that. Get your wings goin' on max speed and then sorta push off from the ground, with your feet, whoosh! Here, it's way easier if I just show ya'...

[She lands nearby and takes off again soon after, keeping herself in the air for a moment before landing again. Land. Take off. Land. Take off again. See, easy as pie.]

[gorehowl]

[Hardly intuitive, but he finds himself smiling all the same. And then Garrosh makes to emulate the flapping motions, trying as he can to copy her styling and get off the ground. He does, a little, but lands back down quickly every time]

[castbytheglyph]

[Hmm. That was a little better, maybe? It wasn't proper, in the air, flapping around flight though, so it's no good. Points for effort though.]

I'd offer to give you a boost, but... Hey yeah, that's it! Maybe we can get you up in the air with a little wind action to help you along. Whaddya think about that?

[gorehowl]

That sounds like it would work. The Horde's shamans often fly on air alone. And with wings, I could at least manage that.

[So, go for it. He spreads his wings wider]

[castbytheglyph]

Y'okay! Try not to blink, you need to stay all focused and stuff so I don't blow you away.

[Plus he needs to keep his eyes open to watch her use her awesome wind powers. With a quick spin in the air, Pascal puts her hands out in front of her and calls up a gust of wind that will hopefully help Garrosh along.]

Blow wind blow, fwoosh!
