    Tug wakes up bright and early, runs through his morning workout routine, and goes to the Hallow to cast the necessary spells for today's much-anticipated expedition. Basking in the youthful nature of its Mana, he gets the idea to use black body paint to mark his right bicep with an Atlantean runes, vaguely similar to a tribal tattoo, but the lines and curves are all at strange, irregular angles.

    Tug prepares the Fate spell he used to find Red Rocks Gym, to help his spirit quest along, and tries his best to stretch it for the next twelve hours...

    Winds of Chance


    Well, it shouldn't be too hard to find spirits today. Tug moves on to the next rite, shielding his body from harm...

    Organic Resilience


    Afterwards he puts on a black, worn Metallica T-shirt, dark cargo shorts, a Raiders cap, and hiking boots, then packs a rucksack with several essential items; homemade trail mix, protein bars, several bottles of water, flashlight, compass, map, a Swiss Army knife, small first aid kit, and, of course, his recently-modified dragon knuckles.

    By the time Tug pulls up in front of the Museum of Antiquities, he's running his standard six minutes behind. He gets out of his truck and looks around to see if Animus is already waiting, or if anyone else had showed up.

    Knowing that the spirit walk is today, Animus changes his morning ritual slightly, attuning his Sight to the influence of spirits, rather than to the web of living things.

    He is indeed waiting when Tug arrives, sitting on the stairs leading to the Museum, and looks up at him. "Are we waiting on anyone else?"

    "Heya, Animus," Tug says with a wave, and looks around in response to his question, then shrugs. "Looks like its just you and me, partner. You ready to roll?"

    Animus nods. "Are we still planning to head to Robbins?"

    Tug walks toward his truck and nods. "Yup, that's the best I could come up with. Get out of the city proper, and into whatever passes for wilderness around here." He gets in the Escalade and brings up the programmed guide to Robbins in the GPS.

    "We shouldn't have any trouble findin' em, I cast a Fate spell before I left the house."

    Animus flinches slightly at the mention of fate, but doesn't say anything on the subject, climbing into the passenger's seat. "Let's head out, then."

    There is a quiet susurration that is just on the edges of your hearing.

    The two of you set off in the Escalade, north to robbins. Calling it a town does a disservice to towns, although there is a town square area, with a War memorial of some sort. There is one mom and pop inn, and the biggest attraction seems to be two golf courses.

    As they pass through Robbins' main street, the war memorial stands out to Tug. "Hey, I know we're heading to the woods, but the town's got that big statue; seems like the kind of place a spirit might hang around, yeah? Let's check it out, and if it's nothing there, we'll move along."

    Tug parks the truck off the main road and whispers in the Living Tongue, preparing himself to look upon the Second World...

    Second Sight


    He grins widely at Animus. "Whaddaya say?" He gets out of the truck and looks around, hands in pockets, while he waits for the Thearch to join him.

    Animus climbs out of the truck. With a few brief whispers in the Atlantean Tongue, he weaves together the ability to see into Twilight and Shadow into a single Imago. He steadies himself on the doorframe as he adjusts to the sudden additional metaphysical weight on his pattern.

    Spirit Tongue + Peer Across the Gauntlet


    After a few seconds, he steps away from the vehicle. "Okay, I'm ready. Let's check out the memorial."
