Seven Steps to Purgatory

Algie sets off with Heliodora's book in an effort to unlock it's secrets, and perhaps his own power as a result.
• Having already felt like he hit a wall with Aleksy, he reaches out to Finn for help :: Inquiries (Algie & Finn)
• Algie is led inadvertently into other ashdown and decides to pursue his curiosity about the books there :: Take-Away (SOLO)
• Looking for further memories to drive his search, Alg goes to the library :: Trivial Pursuits (SOLO)
• Algie seeks out Heliodora to confirm that what memories he's viewed are true :: Turning Page (Alg & Heliodora)
• Algie begins to notice how easy it's become for him to find information :: Book Bindings (Alg & Zac) :: Special Delivery (Alg & Autumn)

Completed - Gained Information

Algie learned of Heliodora's purpose in other ashdown. The Sword, The Crown and The Stars - She and her friends are there to hold back the darkness, though there remains a lingering concern that they may fail.

congratulations, beyonder!

you now have the honor of completing the what we do in the shadows challenge. to complete this most excellent quest and unlock the powers that lie within, you must complete these requirements.

• two solo (500 words) or RPs of Algernon trying to do shadow magic within Ashdown and other ashdown
  
• a thread with a certain shadowy othercritter where Algernon is taught how to interact more with the shadows and how to travel within them
  
• a thread where Algernon finds himself trapped within shadows and must find his way back (please tag in whaler!)
  
• a thread of Algernon exploring, sharing and otherwise getting into mischief with the power he has achieved

in exchange, your character will unlock the following power:

SHADOWS GUIDE US - From his time within the shadows, Algernon will now find that they are both receptive and friendly to him (whispering to him if he listens); especially when he wants to travel across the veil. When Algernon walks through shadow he can now cross freely to and from other ashdown and can bring another being with him.

have fun, and let us know when you've completed your requirements!
