If I wanted to take something I might do with a voice-style Perform skill (storytelling, song, oratory, etc.) and put it in written form, would the Perform skill suffice for that or is there a good Artisan skill equivalent for that? Of the ones listed in Core, Poetry is the only writing-related one listed and it doesn't quite fit the bill I think...

Analysis and identification of the metal and techniques used to forge it will require use of end game goals.

So it is neither steel, iron or bronze?

It could be steel, but isn't easily identifiable as such in its current state

If it's steel then it must be a crumbling lump of rust by now. Must we assume it is extremely corroded and fragile?

Two questions re: the nightmare event before I vanish into IRL sleep:

-The first stage currently refers to using Survival/Perception to find herbs. Should that be Hunting (Survival)?

-One of the possible outcomes refers to accumulating a certain number of Raises among the group. Can those be made in any of the 3 stages of the event? (Am particularly wondering about stage 1, in which Raises also offer the separate benefit of gathering plants for someone else.)

In this event the Nightmares do not effect me, or they have not yet affected me, does that have an impact on the event?

You're considered an auto-success for the purposes of the event. If you would like to roll in the hope of raises, you may.

For Visions of Horror, can we raise on the Fear roll to contribute to the the total number of rolls, or only on the Meditation one?

Can people who are hunters spend multiple time slots collecting plants multiple times to make sure there are enough for other people? If not, and only one roll is allowed, can they join other people when they collect plants to give them assistance bonuses in multiple time slots?

Is there any mechanical effects to offering some of the herbs we collect to servants?

No, they can't collect multiple times, yes, they can help others.
