Absent Mindedness

Yeah, absent minded, that subject describes me sometimes.  This time.  After writing down the important events of the day, more occurred.  But I forgot to update my file that night.  I guess it really doesn't matter when I update this file though.  I just expected I'd be a bit more organized about these notes...which I guess is becoming something of a journal.  Maybe I should wait until right before I go to sleep before updating this file next time?  I guess it's too much to expect that after having dinner and getting settled in my room for the evening, that nothing important would happen.

Dwarfs have often been noted in stories for their craftsmanship, but usually it was because the made something with skill beyond that of humans or something magical.  Apparently they can also work very fast too.  In what must have been at most 24 hours, the dwarfs turned parts of that dead Nemean Bear into potent weapons and armor.  And Coach MacLaggin apparently can see our invisible elevator as he came up to our special floor that Tuesday night and came bearing the results of the dwarfs labor.  I wonder if all dwarfs can see our elevator, or if it's something else about MacLaggin that allows him to see it?

The dwarfs made the Nemean Bear skin into a cloak that will act as armor similar to the Nemean Lion skin cloak worn by Heracles.  They also made a set of 20 arrows with Nemean Bear claw tips.  Plus a set of "brass knuckles" made from the Nemean Bear's teeth.  Pretty impressive work and in such a short period of time!  Considering Jahiera was the only archer among those of us that fought the Nemean Bear, she naturally got the arrows.  The rest of the Band agreed that Dave should have the cloak.  There was a bit more discussion about the "brass knuckles," they really aren't suited for any of the Band.  Dave is more a wrestler and for weapons generally would grab whatever is at hand.  I already have something similar, but better - well better against non Nemean beasties.  The rest of the group didn't normally even fight in that range.  At first Dave took them, but then later he and I talked about it and he gave them to me.  I'm not sure that I want to keep them, but I am probably the one of us that can make best use of them with which to kill Nemean beasties.  But I'll think about that later.

Talking with MacLaggin seemed to bring forth a sense of urgency amongst us Scions, and those with animal companions decided to do something about it.  Gabby's Tepini, Jahiera's Miyet, Ren's Rizal, and Cory's Buddy were all sent on a mission to scout the forest and track down the Nemean Bears.  Even though Cory, Hank, and Sonia hadn't been with us when we met the Coach and fought the first Nemean Bear, they volunteered to help take on the other bears.  That was a pleasant surprise.

The other noteworthy event that occurred Tuesday night was that our dorm floor changed and a new room was added - because we got one more Scion added at the last minute to our roster!  The new guy's name is Liam O'Doherty, and he's Tuatha dé Danann.  Which is the pantheon our "missing" Scion is from.  This is the only pantheon with two Scions in our group, and both late - I wonder if there is some meaning there?  He arrived pretty late though, and I think all of us turned in that night without actually meeting him.
