Booze: With Murcurio's spell Calling Forth the All-Spring, the covenant can sell any liquid that Murcurio can imagine, and right now it is producing cider at 2 barrels a day. The plan is to use this to trade for grain to slow the suspicious flow of gold from the covenant.

I found some new info on the vis economy. Our prior assumptions are flawed and our trades need re-thinking. Also, it is extremely unlikely we will be able to maintain a lvl 50 AotH for more than 1 year. The general prices for trades are made acording to the Universal Vim Index which is the amount of vis you need to trade to get a rook of Vim vis. Intellego's index is 7 therefore you need to trade 7 Intellego vis for 10 vim vis. In the new system, Vim vis is way, way more expensive. This is explained in: http://www.durenmar.de/articles/viseconomy.html . In general, vis is a much more precious comodity than we had previously estimated.

Notes for Febuary 3, 2007

• Nydia predicts a deadly blizzard is coming in a week. It will be strong enough to bury covenant and the town in forty feet of snow and ice. The magi are concerned.
• The day of the blizzard comes and Xtopherous wards himself and flies out to see. He finds a blizzard as described, also he finds a huge (several barns) feathered worm that aprears to be flying inside of it, likely causing it. Xtopherous flies back.
• Silas summons the dead gypsy from hell and asks her about the worm with the help of Materia. They get little out of her and send her back.
  
• The magi agree to fly out and meet the threat head on. Murcurio gets to work setting up wards to protect the coventant from the storm if the magi fail.
• The magi fly back to the worm, invisible, except for Xtopherous who tries to talk to it. He gets eaten for his efforts. Materia tries to erase its mind but is unable to penetrate the beast's might. As it tries to snap at her, Silas sponts a spell that pulls Xtopherous from the beasts maw. He is gravely injured but manages to cast a spell that summons up a mighty torrent of wind that blows the blizzard away. The worm falls, apparently supported by the storm, and splatters to the ground.
  
• The lab equipment, tools, and furniture arrive early in the spring along with Enzo the Magister. The magi settle down for some "standard" Hermetic life. Xtopherous heals from his wounds.
  
• During the two seasons of study [Brent] asks for permission to trade the 3 pawns of corrupted vis for a pawn of Ingem vis that he needs for a magic item he is creating. The permission is granted and in exchange [Brent] offers to distill 8 Vim vis for the covenant.
• Xtopherous identifies the vis collected from the worm as a depressing 2 pawns of auram vis.
  
• [Brent]'s experiments go very well, and he crafts a magical lamp that shoots gouts of deadly fire. He sets off distilling vis. Murcurio finishes his Parma studies and takes a liking to Creo. Xtopherous learns Artes Liberales from Enzo. The remaining magi spend their time inventing spells.
  

Notes for January 31, 2007

• Xtohperous casts Touch of Midas and the 800 lb lump of gold is stored in the meeting hall and is sealed off. The gold is soon cut, weighed and most of it is sent off with a Redcap by the name of Nydia as pre-payments to the various merchants that the mages need things, mostly lab equipment, from.
  
• The Magi receive a letter from a Enzo Farrari, a Magister in Artibus from Rome, who found one of the letters Mercurio sent off. He tires of the Roman scene and feels that he could better spend his off seasons studying with the Magi. He anounces in the letter his intention to come in mid Spring. The magi add more to the budget to get furniture and other essentials by the time the Magister arrives, feeling he would aid the Covenant. The second floor is altered to add room for him and his flock of servants.
• On December 22, 1250 five Magi walked the border of the Tremain Covenant with Xtopherous in the lead to set up the essential Ageis of the Hearth at rank 25. This will protect the Covenant for one year.
• The next day Nydia arrives with letters of confirmation from merchants that the goods should arrive early to mid spring. Nydia is invited to stay at the Covenant as the Magi could use a Redcap. Nydia agrees and is inducted as a Companion of the Tremain Covenant.
  
• An unofficial meeting is held and a trip is planned to buy grain from the Abbey in Lurzen. Murcurio suggests bringing a gift for the church. The Magi agree and Xtopherous begins work on a life-size statue of Saint Barbara out of limestone. The statue is gilded with 5 lbs of gold and enameled by Venti. Marek says that the church should be pleased with the gift.
• That night, Xtopherous, Marek, Nydia, Shmitty, and social grog by the name of Mort set off toward the town of Lurzen to arrive in the morning. Xtopherous carries the 800 lb statue with the aid of a spell.
• The spell is cut short by the dominion aura and the statue is quickly put in the entrance.
• The church agrees to provide the covenant with food for the year, thanks to the reputation of Xtopherous and 70 lbs of covenant silver.
• Marek stays at the church and talks about the outside world to the priests there. He tries to lobby for the Magi's innocence in the goat theft.
• Xtopherous heals some old lady.
• Nydia recruits a carpenter and a blacksmith. Learns that an upholsterer lives in the next big town down the river.
• Mort finds a down-on-his-luck crusader and invites him to live at the covenant. He is very old but will likely be able to train the grogs to fight as a group.
• The group gathers around the cart of grain for the next season and heads back to the covenant.
• Nydia and some grogs manage to capture five goats. Apparently Nydia speaks goat.
• Xtopherous pays off the goat herder with a the five goats captured by Nydia then buys their house and invites them to the covenant. He intends to turn the house into a hospital for mundanes.
• Xtopherous meets another magus who wishes to join the covenant, [Brent's Character's Name Here] of Verditious.
• When they get back, a covenant meeting is held to discuss the new potential member and the standing with the church.
• [Brent] is left with the grogs while a vote is held, the grogs do not like him.
• Brent is voted in, furthermore the standard distilling vis probation is eliminated due to a high quality books that [Brent] brought with him. The library is noted to be meager.
• Several issues were brought up about the Lurzen and interactions with the covenant, none were brought to a vote. It was the general consensous to keep a low profile.
• Nydia was sent to intercept the merchants and pay for another set of lab equipment for [Brent].
