Welcome back again! Last week was an exciting time for Analei. She lost her paladinhood and her faith, but found that this event, far from demoralizing her, actually made her stronger. I see no reason not to continue rolling on the wilderness table, as she seems to be growing nicely in her woodlore.

A roll of 48 indicates a result of Hermit. Hmmm. This can still work. She gets a level of either druid or sorcerer (guess which one she’s taking?), no new feats, and no increase in reputation or new contacts, but she does have to allot points to Survival, Concentration, and Spellcraft. She’ll put three points into each (convenient, eh?). And once again, we see that her typical spell selection has changed to suit her new role.

Correction: I’ve been using The Only Sheet to help me track Analei’s progression, and somewhere along the line, I forgot to add something on the web version that was added to the sheet. It sometimes happens when you’re going back and forth between the two. Anyway, Analei’s Listen and Spot skills should have gone up by one point each last level. That oversight has been corrected here.

Far from civilization, Analei finds herself at home in the wilderness and spends several months in quiet solitude, reflecting on her past and contemplating the future. She finds the peace and quiet relaxing and excellent for strengthening her connection to her new deity.
