[Mkguild] Regular visits to MK

[Hallan Mirayas]

As far as I remember, the 'quick reset' has already been described in canon.  Besides which, it's magic- it doesn't have to make sense.  If you want to go that route, why does it take so long for the Curse to kick in?  Why doesn't it start changing somebody the moment they enter the Valley?

I've absolutely got to have a character now who comes to the valley, stays for 13 days and then leaves for half an hour thinking that'll "Reset the clock."  Oh God it would be fun to do a comedy story about something like that, or someone trying to use science to approach a curse that runs on Plot.

Keep in mind the travel times involved, and the amount of time and money
it took to mount a venture in the first place!  Further, some of
these merchants will be carrying goods from Metamor down to places a week
or more away from the Curse, Ellcaran, Kelewair, Elvquelin, even Marigund
or Salinon.  It's at LEAST two months by carriage to Marigund in
good weather.

Anyway, as to the argument about the time duration being too long: 
That is exactly how it is supposed to be and should be.  If people
can just flit in and out every day without any fear or risk of the curse
it looses its impact.

And an outside estimation of two days beyond the curse per day spent
within - with the current manifestation time of 14 days - is merely one
month.  That is not a great deal of time and certainly not
onerous.

make of it


but waiting months between visits seems excessively long
time.
