Re: [HOE] Raise the Kidd!

["Shawn Willett" <damarshal@hotmail.com>]

Thank you. This fits perfectly as Traveller(the posse member in question) is 
a Outcast Heretic Doomsayer that has to learn all of his powers on his own 
anyway. Another question, could he use the Sculpting (I dont know the actual 
name)miracle to patch the holes? I'm all for him pulling this off because 
he's being selfless about it. He doesn't want the ship for himself, he wants 
to give it to the town so he can recruit people for the Hunter Academy. The 
Hunter Academy is a school that he wants to start that trains ordinary 
people about the Reckoning and how to fight servitors and other minions of 
the Four Horseman. It's currently based in the S-Mart Overlord's old base in 
Lubbock, TX. You can check the whole story out at
