As Gunhild was looking around to see if she could find anything, she was eventually blessed with the sight of a little Regula talking to her. Smiling a little and huffing a small chuckle to enlarged self, she smiled and grumbled lightly as she lightly pointed her finger to the little flying birdie girl.
"Heheh, smol ReguLady, eheheheh~" Gunhild chortled softly as she momentarily listened on to what Regula had to ask, grumbling quietly although thinking about the proposition of getting pets and hugs for doing not much at all. Smiling and nodding, she answered.

"Yessies, Gunhild do a do, yesses" she answered back, soon enough feeling the pelting apples from who-knows-where and eventually shrinking back down to her normal size now that she'd taken a look around. She couldn't really tell what it was from, but could only suppose that the lack of logic behind apples magically growing on trees truly allowed them to grow anywhere, and they were just simply raining from the sky at this point. Who would ever know where apples came from? Not Gunhild.​

Whilst Izuru's magic ability didn't help much, other than making the breeze less chilly and giving him a dark looking magic flavour, his investigation with Arcane E and Investigation F allowed him to see glimpses of the tree again, in the dimension/time that it likely stemmed from. Not only that, he would also be able to spot something that, with his Arcane knowledge, he was able to identify as an anchor point. Something that somehow summoned the tree to this dimension, even though it was broken and malfunctioning, therefore causing the three to be mostly stuck in its own realm. It seemed like the apples, smaller and less impactful, had an easier time slipping through the dimensional cracks and had therefore ended up all over the barony's capital.

Alister was less lucky, the mundane methods not being able to get him a sight on the apple tree. He'd only become ware of the lingering scent of the many apples that'd recently appeared. Though he would, after it being pointed out, also notice the lingering glow coming from the ground.

Teuihua speaking in Mictantectulian got something that was either a reaction or a lucky coincidence, as he'd see a short flash of the tree again. The glow they'd spotted from the ground seemed slightly brighter. Other than that, nothing seemed to have changed.

“Ancient magical power source?” She'd ask. That did seem plausible, after what they'd spotted before at the Magic Tower. It'd been the close to the conclusion Izuru had just uncovered.

Deciding to take action, she'd look around herself, especially towards the bit the others hand been interested in. Considering it seemed to be something underground, she'd use the Tremorsense B on her boots to try locate it. As she noticed something stuck in the soil that seemed to be vibrating, she used [Take It All] to try get it out of the ground.

As she did so, for a short moment, an odd green Crystal would show itself, before exploding into various fragments. All those presents would suddenly have a vision of someone planting a young apple tree. They seemed like a Fae, judging by their features, possibly Elven. The vision shifted to the tree growing, with seasons shifting rapidly, the tree grew, grew and grew. Until it was big enough to span across many fields and towered above all the other trees. All the while, the same Fae that'd planted it returned to it from time to time. Until one day, he did not. The vision got a bit blurry there, until they saw the giant tree being in the middle of a battlefield.

Three armies seemed to be fighting, Fae, Humans and Beasts. However, in the midsts of the fighting, perhaps by some magic gone wrong, a large fire erupted, causing the tree and its surroundings to go up in flames. Then, there was a vision of nothing but ashes... and things faded to black. An overwhelming feeling of sadness would wash over them shortly, before that too, vanished.

In the end, they were left with just as many questions as they started with. Even so, the crystal shards were still there, small, yet glowy fragments of something that seemed to have anchored this giant tree and pulled it from its past into their present, breaking through the dimension of time just like the tower they'd once seen before. Whether this was an odd coincidence or the start of something more was left unclear.

Aftermath

With the apples no longer appearing, the barony would have a fair few apples to feast on, but it didn't take long for things to return to normal. The orchardists were able to breath out in relief as they wouldn't be outcompeted by magical apples, as the baroness would make sure (Connection Merchant's Guild C, Wealth B, Business E, Leadership B, Persuasion B) that a portion of the sudden excess of apples was also sold elsewhere to avoid crashing the market. The group would be able to go their own ways or work on the next project in the barony, though not without some souvenirs from this odd experience.

  • Teuihua, Retili, Gunhild, Izuru – Not an oddity, but some sorting of skills by type could save sanity when trying to find out if there's ones that need mention. Like point boosters or special assets.
  • Gunhild – Got no clue how/if masterskills are allowed to be obtained through educated and how that'd work in this case. | I don't dare to dig deeper.
  • Teuihua – Current RP not updated. | Not much else spotted at a glance.

Aftermath and Potential Lore Updates (Describe any potential aftermath or consequences based on the events of the roleplay. Suggest any updates that might be needed for the lore.)
The barony would have a short boom in apple trade, but thanks to the Baroness trying to streamline things and the issue being stopped, nothing permanently changes. People would simply have a fun story to tell in the end. The only mystery remaining is what is causing these things to occur, first the tower, now the apple tree. Some might wonder if there will be another thing to occur.

Narrator Bonuses (Recommend any bonuses you'd like to award to narrators based on their performance.)
To all participants;
[Dream Apples] – Incredibly tasty and sweet interdimensional/time-travelling apples that induce pleasant dreams of giant apple trees after having been consumed.
[Green Crystal Fragment] – A small, pebble sized fragment that gives off a greenish hue. When used in an ability that involves Magic E or greater, the ability will randomly spawn an apple somewhere within its affected area.

To Teuihua:
[Blank Crystal Fragment] – A part of the original fragment that lost its green hue, yet sill seemed to pulsate with some lingering mana when held by Teuihua. Its current purposes are unclear.

Additional Notes (Include any other observations or points you'd like feedback on or that require further commentary.)
Not my finest work. Should've prepared more and taken in less folk.

Good season for suddenly applies. Liked the connection to the prior rp.

There were parts of the rp that felt particularly wordy and convoluted and that's saying something considering how these rps tend to be. Distracted from the mission at hand. Like autistic rambling on side tracks.

The dimensional mystery persists.

Noticed some of you guys have masterwork skills. Be sure to setup your downtime activities in the future and/or rp to acquire the assets necessary to leverage your masterwork skills.

Aftermath

Parts of Ryke would see a surplus of fruits that fall season
