MIKHAIL.do the other companions have special comments or reactions upon recruiting your tav?

recruitable only after finding withers within the dank crypt

"chk, a drow? he should prove no more different than the rest of his kind." LAEZEL scoffs tapping her finger against her arm, she made it clear the first night that mikhail is not welcome on her end of camp.

the girl shakes her head, "a follower of myrkul brings nothing but trouble, we must keep our wits about us while he stays." SHADOWHEART proclaims, she didn't deny his use to the party, but she doesn't seem impressed by him at whole, if not a little worried.

ASTARION licks his lips over an intrigued smile, "covered in silver and gold, a ravishing look, no? an angel who acts nothing like one!" he says, eyes trailing over the large wings mikhail easily stretches.

he rolls his eyes, "I can't trust him as far as I can throw him, which isn't far." nodding to himself, GALE continues, "his eyes are so freaky too.. what do you need three eyes for!?"

the skeletons expression is almost unreadable, WITHERS voice is as monotone as usual when he speaks of the boy, "it would be most intelligent to keep the child of myrkul feeling welcomed." he says, glancing over to mikhail who flicks his gold necklace around.

MIKHAIL.what sort of general actions raise or lower their approval?

MIKHAIL likes displays of attitude and power, if you can keep up a tricky facade that is the quickest way to his heart. Traditionally performance and wisdom checks get his attention, but he can appreciate brutally strategies as well.

The player has to be at least a little morally grey if you have hopes to get closer. Condemning his actions, or playing too peaceful will get him bored and slowly lower his approval until its in the negatives.

MIKHAIL.can their path have different branches depending on the choices the Player Character makes?

MIKHAILS STORY focuses on his relationship with death, and loneliness. his character story shines with a durge player character, but even without there are many different easter eggs to stumble across. currently there are 3 endings for him.

1 : ' bad ending . MIKHAIL chooses to not resist MYRKULs call, and takes an act of revenge for killing his lord, one companion who he has never been put in party with will be slaughtered on default. you are forced to kill him in combat. in post game his heart begins beating anew.

2 : ' good ending . MIKHAIL reunites with TAVYL who had been sent to find and return him to the church. in this ending, mikhail has no character progression, and disappears before being mentioned late game.

3 : ' good ending . MIKHAIL kills himself during MYRKULS callings and Jergal takes Mikhails body as a hireling post game.

TAVYL.can their path have different branches depending on the choices the Player Character makes?

TAVYLS STORY focuses on self discovery. he spent most of his life as a lap dog, and now that he's alone he doesn't know what to do with himself. there are currently two paths you can take with him.

1 : ' bad ending . specific choices you pick with raphael can lead to TAVYL being "returned" to MIKHAIL . After achieving this ending, you can not interact with tavyl again.

2 : ' good ending . TAVYL is freed, and decides to go school within candlekeep and pursue world history, and catch up on all the education and knowledge he missed within the cult

@conjured-osteon​ from Here

“ Yeah-- shady. The-- theeeee. “ Missi tries to motion to the horns atop his head by moving her hands over top of her own head. Clearly she was not all there as she couldn’t even think of the word. Blowing a frustrated raspberry at him she’d try to stumble her way to someone who might have something nice. “ Fiiiiiiiiiiine. I’ll find another. Drink. Somewhere. “

Renjai could not tolerate the company of her kind. At least, not this night. 

They grated on her nerves after partaking in a successful duel, hooting and shoving about her in ernest from a combat well recieved. While it was her own fight they were thrilled about, there was still a dissatisfied feeling lingering in Renjai’s gut. She didn’t even want to humour the chatter that was due to follow if she ventured to her local haunt. Renjai needed retreat, and the she-troll found herself going surfaceside to seek out peace and quiet.

It had taken time to choose the spot she wanted to rest. Yet, when she finally found the space she wanted to lie, it had many hostile features that would deter both animal and the highly rare human from approaching what could pass as a big stone wyrm.

Blackberry brambles as well as boulders slowly engulfing the large warrior as she shuffled into the space, she then lowered herself onto haunches with a creak of protest from prosthetic. Afterwards it didn’t take long until posture changed and she set head onto the ground with a heaving sigh, crystal coated flanks rising and falling from her breath. 

Maybe sleep would help her rather than her usual vice of drink.

Педиатрия в остеопатии

Видео: здесь и здесь.. и здесь.. и здесь, вс в вк-группе Справочной по массажу.

Сказать, что я ждала этого семинара — ничего не сказать. Я с 2012 года в массаже, и почти три года обучаюсь у П.Г.Жиркова из Санкт-Петербурга основам остеопатии. Мой поток посетил 12 семинаров, где и животики мы друг другу мяли, и скручивали в дульки (хаха), и кости черепулек смещали, и диагностировали разными способами..

Деток мы только смотрели на открытых приёмах до или после семинара (когда Павел Георгиевич общается и лечит пациента прилюдно, т.е. на наших глазах). Это совсем не то же самое, что было вчера-сегодня. Здорово!!

Было настолько интересно и как человеку, и как специалисту в сфере оздоровления, и как маме почти 21-летнего сына, и ..и.. Постоянно думаешь и о своих детских проблемах, которые привели к сегодняшнему состоянию здоровья, о болезнях родителей, детей.. клиентах, пациентах.. Миллион было мыслей и есть сейчас. Не терпится начать практиковать, если честно))

Хочу максимально подробно описать семинар, чтобы, при желании, в будущем, иметь возможность пересмотреть какие-то ролики или прочитать основные тезисы с семинара. Заодно поделюсь с теми, кто по каким-то причинам не захотел или не смог попасть 16 и 17 сентября в наше поле:) Итак..

Мы перед семинаром собираемся, чтобы познакомиться с новенькими или поделиться впечатлениями, как практикуется, что получается, а что нет, Павел Георгиевич спрашивает в целом и, конечно, в контексте предстоящего обучения, на этот раз каждый делился опытом в работе с детками. Очень познавательный получился разговор, длиной в часа два точно)) Посмотрите, кто не попал на семинар, познавательно (часть здесь).

Какой же он классный с малышкой на руках, это надо было видеть: девочка плакала в руках мамы, но стоило Павлу Георгиевичу взять её на руки, он замолкала. Разумеется, не сразу, после того, как он освободил её от последствий лактозной непереносимости.

Очень интересно было анализировать вместе с учителем взаимоотношения мамы и этой лялечки (внешний вид модной мамы, её неготовность к материнству ни до, ни после рождения этой крохи.. даже тот факт, что она на приём пришла без запасного памперса, пришлось зво��ить бабушке, чтобы принесла, говорит о многом))). И скажите после этого, неверующие в психосоматику, что взаимоотношения мамы и дитя не влияют на болезни обоих).

Мне понравилось разнообразие историй.диагнозов пришедших к нам на семинар пациентов. Отдельное спасибо организатору Татьяне Эмировой (ведь у нас, учеников, очень много было желающих мамочек среди пациентов, готовых отдать своих чад на диагностику.лечение Павлу Георгиевичу, пусть и с публичным разбором).

Ну, и сам Учитель старался даже похожие случаи нам подавать с другой стороны, задавая новые вопросы мамочкам и самим детям (старше 8 лет)). Было очень интересно. Поделюсь парочкой случаев, от которых до сих пор хожу под впечатлением и рассказываю своим пациентам на сеансах.

Девочка 12 лет, врождённый порок сердца

Маме на 21й неделе беременности сказали, что у неё малышка с пороком сердца родится, рекомендовали мертворождение. Она сомневалась, всё же первенец. Одно из мнений прозвучало о спасении ситуации, мол, если сделать в первые дни жизни специальную операцию, можно то ли сгладить диагноз, то ли вообще убрать порок. Она согласилась. Из-за того что был собран на определённую дату целый консилиум, ей пришлось делать кесарево сечение. Видео разбора этого случая здесь.

Обожаю наблюдать за сеансами Павла Георгиевича, как он за час успевает узнать всю историю, задавая правильные вопросы, анализируя не только сами ответы, но и КАК говорят пациенты (или их родители): мимика, осанка, тон голоса, жесты, он всё берёт во внимание и нам разжёвывает потом (прикольно сравнивать свои мысли и вводы с его наставлениями и акцентами, что-то верно подмечаю, а до чего-то не догадываюсь))).

Как повлияла операция на девушку, её физическое здоровье, какие хобби у неё в жизни и, что мне было особенно интересно, как складывается жизнь мамы и какой отпечаток порок сердца наложил на их взаимоотношения с дочерью... всё это мы анализировали на семинаре "Особенности работы с детьми (Педиатрия)" Школы оздоровительных практик OSTEON).

Семья: мальчик 8 лет и девочка 6 месяцев

Пришли в полном составе, что было уникально, все остальные пациенты были только с мамой или бабушкой. Папа держал малютку все полтора часа разбора мальчика на руках, но всё по порядку) Ещё до того как они вошли, Павел Георгиевич спрашивает у нас:

 — С кого начнём?

Мы: — С малышки конечно)

П.Г.: — Кто сможет дольше выдержать в ожидании?

Мы: — Старший ребёнок)

П.Г. — Кто интересней... в плане больше нахватался, у кого мы больше увидим всего?)

Мы: — У мальчика!!!

Разбор этот выкладываю в коротеньких видео, смотрите здесь.

А ещё группа у нас была классная. Вот.

Спасибо всем!

this is too stupid to edit the post about but I realized I used the wrong term for using bones for divination. Oracle bones are a very specific kind of ancient relic from China and thereabouts, where diviners would carve questions about the future into livestock scapulae or turtle plastrons, burn the bones until they cracked, and then interpret the question's answer from the pattern of the cracks. The thing where you throw a bunch of bones on the ground and interpret the pattern they make when they come to rest is called, appropriately, "bone throwing" or osteomancy (from the Greek osteon, bone, and manteia, divination), and is an ancient form of divination still practiced in different forms by various communities worldwide.

You can even buy throwing bones on Etsy, if you're so inclined:

[dr-abigail-richelieu]

In an earlier entry, we discussed vampire packs. Surprisingly, despite their extremely antisocial nature, we have found evidence that vampires would form packs. Early in their evolution, they were somewhat social animals and would form packs. In later periods before their extinction, they apparently began forming packs again to make hunting humans easier. These packs typically consisted of a mother and her brood, with a hierarchy likely based on dominance. Essentially, the strongest individual was the pack leader.

Even so, these creatures remained highly antisocial. They didn't live together; when not hunting, the pack would occupy a large territory, with each member living separately. While vampires never really developed their own society, we do think that these packs did develop a very basic form of it and even a very basic language. 

In 2001, a huge burial ground was discovered in Eastern Europe, near Russia. Investigations by anthropologists and archaeologists revealed that the area was, in fact, the hunting ground of a vampire pack. Their housing was found shortly after: a huge cave system that appeared to have been artificially expanded. The entire underground system extended around half a kilometer in total. The remains of around 15 individual vampires were found, each in their own chambers. Most seemed to have died while hibernating. It is believed that they had exhausted their main source of food and decided to go into hibernation, possibly hoping to awaken when food became available once more. Most of their remains were relatively well preserved, which is to be expected thanks to their ability to enter suspended animation, this “undead phase” essentially had them mummified themselves alive… The oldest vampire in the group was found in the biggest chamber, we suspect she was the matriarch of the clan.

Using bone histology such as osteon counting and dental analysis of her remaining teeth, and other methods more finely tuned to vampires, we were able to estimate her age before death to be around 143 years, not counting any past hibernation, however, using advance Histopathological Examination of her soft tissues, such as the state of collagen and elastin fibers and more, we were able to determine that she was biologically around in her mid to late 20s, which is to be expected from Vampires. 

Homovorus have plenty of adaptations against senescence, the most prevalent being an increased telomerase production to maintain telomere length, which is associated with cellular longevity. Cells can divide way more times before reaching senescence. Another adaptation being the production of antioxidants enzymes protecting them from the harmful effects of radiant oxidation and ionizing radiation. In short Vampires are essentially immune to senescence, they do not age, at least not physically. Once they reach adulthood at around their early 20s they will not physically age anymore, however they're bones will still degrade overtime, causing them to become weaker and unable to hunt as efficiently as before, but that isn't it. They're superior production of collagen also aids them; this consistently high rate of collagen production, ensures their skin and connective tissues remain youthful and heal quickly. They also retain high levels of active stem cells throughout their lives. In humans, stem cell activity declines with age, but in vampires, this activity remains constant or at least higher than in humans, allowing for continuous efficient tissue repair and regeneration almost akin to that of human juvenile. We believe that the reason for such adaptations to have emerged is because of a combination of factors, but mainly because of their already low reproduction rates. Because of this, a long lifespan and extended periods of reproductive viability was advantageous, as it allowed individuals to contribute to the gene pool over a longer time. We do not know as of late, when or even if Homovore reaches reproductive senescences… In any cases, we'll discuss such topics in another entry focusing on Vampire reproduction.

Going back to the discovery, it's important to precise that while the Matriarch’s bones were degraded they weren't at all as damaged as one would expect of such an old individual. She could very likely still be active in her community, if not it's very likely that she wouldn't have been tolerated by the others, even if they were her own kids, and perhaps even participate in hunts, though to a much lesser extent. We can also see that she had a lot of healed bone fractures and much more such as dental work and even dental implants, using carved bones (these implants were quite honestly very well done, almost indistinguishable visually from other teeths) This tells us two things.

1: This clan of vampires was capable of primitive yet very impressive medical feats.

2: These vampires were able to show forms of compassionate behaviour. One could argue that these interventions were done in the name of efficiency, so that others could heal faster and burden the others less, however some of these interventions weren't as seemingly necessary for the survival of the individual and more or less done for her comforts.

In other chambers we discovered primitive yet complexed tools as well as a few cattle pens, most likely used for keeping humans. We essentially uncovered substantial evidence of tribal culture and technology. Among the findings were even symbols, writings on birch bark scrolls, and most impressively, cave paintings. These paintings were intricate and detailed yet disturbingly macabre. Many depicted human faces contorted in agony or mutilated corpses. While unsettling, such imagery wasn't entirely unexpected. Vampires, being our natural predators, evolved not only to hunt us but also, as some researchers have shown, to preserve their victims for extended feeding.

One chamber stood out for its striking details: On the wall, there was a meticulous drawing of a human head frozen in a scream. In front of the painting, a skull rested upon an improvised counter, undoubtedly the model used for the artwork.

In conclusion, while Homovorus was typically a solitary and antisocial species, it was still capable of forming groups or tribes under certain circumstances. We still have a lot of learning to do concerning these fascinating beings
