Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap

The Skills Merchant… Max had heard a lot about the person but had never actually encountered them until now. She walked into the shop, clutching her EMP within her pocket, and approached the counter. “I’d like Knife Fighting II please,” she looked over and noticed the sign about a free skill. “and Armor I too,” she added and then dropped the 16 EMP on the counter. "I'll come back whenever you're free," she said, remembering the thing about appointments.

Iacomus stood upright as he entered the shop, with a closed grin on his face and a determined look in his eyes. The pale man sauntered over to the counter, and he quickly glanced at the mans wares, even though he had already had a pretty fair idea of what he was planning to learn. He looked at the merchant. "I'll take Medical III, and-" his eyes wandered and found themselves on the sign, reading that because of his long absence, the skills merchant would be allowing a free Level One skill with the purchase of a skill of equal or lesser value. This was something he would waste no time in taking advantage of, as he was planning on buying a Level One skill already. "And if the offer is still valid," he said, gesturing to the sign, "I'd also like Sword Fighting I." It was about time he learned how to do something having to do with combat. He typically relied on his trusty scalpel and knowledge of the human anatomy, but that was only useful when harvesting organs, and as he seemed to get more trouble as time passed, learning how to use the sword of his would be a good idea. However, as he was already planning to buy a Level One, this left him with the extra money, that maybe, he could use on something else. His eyes found themselves glued to Robotics I. He had had ideas of things he might want to try with such a skill, but had been busy with... other things... but even so, things had been slow lately, and just maybe.... Slamming the EMP on the counter with his bony fingers he declared with an accomplished grin "Yes, I will buy Medical III, Robotics I, and take advantage of the free skill for the Sword Fighting I. I will come by whenever it is convinient for you. Thank you very much!~" Iacomus bowed with a small flip of his tail coat and turned swiftly, looking over his shoulder with a toothy grin and waving fluidly with his fingers before exiting the shop.
Amai enter the shop for the 1st time , being timid she headed over to the strange man with a note in her hand "e excuse me Mister? umm my friend told me to meet the skills merc..hant? and t told me to get T..T..Tele..kin...esi..s? skill for t the fake a arm Amon is b building for me? " she said as she handed over the note from Amon and Edelwess with the order on it , timidly as well as bag of 28 EMP , she didn't know what would happen as she looked unsure of what will happen
( Telekinesis I&II + one random Free level one skill, Admins / Skills Merchant, choice )
skills:
Telekinesis I & II, Aeromancy I, Cryomancy I, Pyromancy I, Gating I, Health I, Kinetics I-III, Toxins I, KF I-III, SF I & II, UC I, TW I
Rava made her way in to the Skills Merchant and browse the items which she know what to to get however she saw the offer on the board so she smiled since she could have herself a good old shopping spree with what she had. after choosing she came over with SF I&II and then she asked "hay can i have GS I for the free skill offer , am getting tired of having to get my guns repaired by someone else" she asked as she had 30 EMP on the desk "I want to specialize in a Cutlass blade style if possible please?"

Jove needed to start working her way toward a promotion in rank, then maybe she could earn more coin - and afford more skills. But one needed skills to promote in rank. She sighed. It was a chicken or the egg debate. Either way she shook the snow out of her curls as she entered the Skills merchants temporary shop and approached the counter.
"I'd like Unarmed Combat I please." She dropped the 8EMP on the counter and drummed her nails on the surface as she waited for him to pull out his ledge and schedule her a training date. Thats when she noticed his offer for a 2nd level I skill. Jovena perked up instantly and added to her request. "I'd also like Rifles I." She grinned and he nodded. When he passed her the book, she wrote her name into the approved slot and waved her way out. She'd be back for her training at the time they had written her down for.
"Well, I hope the merchants late to Lodan next time too - then maybe I can get another bonus buy!"

Mae entered the shop and cracked her knuckles. Oh yeah- it was that time again - and she had the moolah to pay for it.
"Unarmed Combat II," She counted out 16EMP, then said "and Projection I for my freebee." She'd read the sign days ago before the shop had even opened up. She knew what was up, and she was cashing in. He passed her the book and she made her mark. She was movin' on up in this city. oooh -yea

Caitlin was on a mission: She was going to get her level III healing spell, she was never going to allow herself to get so hurt she's stuck in bed again for a week. All the time that had passed, and she'd lost track of what happened to commander Skye, ever since that bastard, Major Alistair, framed him for the Ripper's murders. Caitlin knew it wasn't Skye who tried to kill her (twice). It had been one of her own men, a member of the brotherhood - a NEW member granted, they hadn't even officially welcomed him into the ranks yet but she knew who it really had been nonetheless.
It hadn't been Skye. And she was going to get him out of whatever Prison he was rotting in.
But first, she was going to make sure she was prepared to keep fighting, and not end up on bed-rest again.
"Heath III please," and while she was at it... "I'll accept Necromancy I for my free skill... and after you teach me that - I'll also take Necromancy II," She pulled out her coin purse and paid 24EMP for Health III, and 16EMP for Necromancy II. After receiving her skills, she'd be able to conjure a two-handed weapon out of bone and sinew, like Danny. When she comes for Faolan Skye... She comes with a vengeance.
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
"Man...there is never enough time...is there?" Amon mumbled to himself as he entered the Skill Merchant's shop. He wanted to upgrade to Robotics IV, but was unable to scrape up the money in time. He was about to leave, doing nothing but window shop, when he noticed that the Skills Merchant was offering a free skill sale. He paused, considering the sale, and after counting up his money, gave a small smile. "Guess this won't be a waste after all..." he thought as he walked up to the counter.
"I'll take Gun Smith I, Weapon Smith I, and I'll take Pistols I for my free skill please," he said, handing over 16 EMP.
"I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible! And when I leave, you will finally understand why storms are named after people!" - Taryn, Nerf This

Stephen walked in, frowning as he passed the magical skills. If he had to be cursed with ander blood, the least it could do in return in grant him some of their mystical power. Unfortunately, life was not fair so he would have to live without these supernatural abilities. Striding confidently up to the counter he placed his order:
"I will take Unarmed Combat IV. As for my free skill, i will take Pole Arms I." After placing his 32 EMP down, he walked out with his purchase in hand.
((34 EMP - 32 EMP = total amount now 2 EMP))
