Man on the Run

For the Connect with Storytelling speech project in the Dynamic Leadership path, level three, Patrick will introduce us to his character for the Riders Between Worlds guild campaign - a young man who barely stepped out the door and who almost immediately became a man on the run.

Speaker 2 Michael Cohen
Presentation Mastery Level 3 Increasing Knowledge - Connect with Storytelling
5 - 7 minutes
The Nature of Evil

Michael introduces his new character. He is a Tiefling, a race that is virtually unknown in this region. Calling himself a "cast out outcast", he will explain his odd name and why he believes that, despite his evil heritage, he can benefit the newly organized adventuring team.

Speaker 3 Loni Huff
5 - 7 minutes
To Small Magics and Stubborn Villages

At Dynnegall’s festival, Briallen offers a heartfelt tribute to the village’s overlooked “small magics”: the humble charms, songs, instincts, and folk gifts that keep ordinary people alive. She reminds the crowd that while great magic may win wars or fill history books, small magic lights hearths, preserves food, eases pain, warns of danger, and helps a fragile village endure. The speech calls on travelers and heroes to recognize that no place is too small to be worth saving, and no gift is small when others depend upon it.
