The first week of the restart was a pretty big success in Zorian’s eyes. True, he never did find the aranean treasury, but everything else was going along nicely.

Red Robe had once again neglected to give any information to the invaders, so they were stumbling around just as badly as they had in the previous restart. This was the second time in a row that he had made that choice, and that was only taking into account the restarts in which Zorian had been present in Cyoria. Red Robe had probably been making this choice for a while. But the idea that Red Robe was no longer interested in supporting the invasion seemed more than a little strange. He’d been dedicated to helping them before. Perhaps as a means of distracting Zach and masking his own actions? If so, revealing himself to Zach had made such trickery pointless…

Regardless of the reason, Red Robe’s absence made things very convenient for Zorian. The moment he realized Red Robe was once again ignoring the invaders, he immediately launched a series of raids on the known invaders and their cultist allies. He found nothing new yet, but every memory dive he did brought him one step closer to opening the matriarch’s memory packet, so he considered himself successful there regardless. He also scouted a couple of the emergency resource caches he’d found in the last restart and even looted a particularly badly defended one. It held nothing except a large quantity of unlabeled potion bottles, which was slightly disappointing. He handed them off to Kael to see if he could figure out what they were and find a use for them. He’d feel bad about taking advantage of the morlock boy so much, but Kael seemed enthusiastic about all the work Zorian was sending his way, so Zorian figured it was okay.

His monster hunts with Taiven were more successful this time around as well, thanks to his knowledge of monster nests and migration routes. Taiven was ecstatic at their results, though Zorian had noticed her giving him some strange looks when she thought he wasn’t paying attention. Had she realized how improbable his claim of divining the locations of the monsters was? Well, no matter. Since she never actually confronted him about it, he decided to continue using his foreknowledge to improve results of the hunts and deal with the fallout when (and if) it came.

His quest for getting himself a better library pass was also going along nicely, even though it was still in the beginning stages. The method he chose was extremely simple: he hung around the library entrance during its busiest hours and covertly scanned the minds of everyone who entered and left, looking for people with higher passes who weren’t regular visitors of the library. After all, while the academy was stingy about giving higher authorizations to its students, actual holders of higher authorizations weren’t exactly rare. Plenty of mages had them, and few were using them with any degree of regularity.
