Hello! We've got a new build for Finding Color in the Ashes.
The 2.4 build revamps how Scout and Lucy will help you in combat. Now instead of having to give up your turn to let them cast a spell, you will start accruing action points at the end of every turn. At the start of each turn you can spend action points to have your companion use ...

The 2.3 build focuses on bringing hirable adventurers into the game - you'll now have some help in keeping the danger levels in the forest in check (as long as you don't mind spending a little gold to get it done).

Hello!
This new build focuses on Deedra, the more vocal aspect of Lucy's Fracture. She's unique among the companions in that she's more an aspect of Lucy than anything else, and so shares her scenes with Lucy as well.
All of Lucy's animated scenes have a 3rd variant now including Deedra, and there are 5 new events and a lot of new di...

Willow is the third optional companion character to join you at the Inn, though she may be the first you encounter. The Dryad will approach you while on patrol, and without any of the guile common to the Fae, ask for help in healing the forest.
There are many Fae in the forest who've already fallen victim to the Ashland corruption. Fractur...

Scout is the first optional companion character to join you at the Inn. She's a self-serious monster hunter patrolling the surrounding forest on behalf of the Capital. She first shows up as a guest - stopping by once a week to resupply before heading back off into the wilderness.
