In the morning Arran woke up to the spell still being active, though Jachym dispelled it as soon as he arrived at the lab. He also got a good long lecture about using his body properly and getting enough mana. As far as his master was concerned the best use of the female form was sex and he was stupid to not use this to his advantage. The lesson continued on ritual casting from then on.<br/><br/>That evening Arran received much more attention, men from the bar offering coins for sex. Given Jachym's command that his apprentice come back with more mana or he would keep using the curse the girl's choices were somewhat limited there.<br/><br/>It was a week later that the first big change happened. Jachym was at the lab with a bag. He looked at his apprentice with an appraising eye before speaking.<br/><br/>"Now Arran, your talents have grown and I believe that you are ready for you first trial. I need you to go to Highfax and stop by the apothecary, I have an order that has come in and I do not trust the post to deliver it properly. I have packed enough food and money for your trip in this bag, keep all of the mana you harvested yesterday. Do you have any questions?"<br/><br/>Highfax was a city two days travel away. Arran's  father occasionally brought them there to sell the fall harvest. The trip would take him through a deeply wooded area along with Galliside, the city one day's travel away along that route.<br/><hr/>Roll Int+Streetwise for more info.
