Rolls: hunting trip, quest x2, scandal, freeloader, and I quit
Success! Immortalis made another life-bestowing amulet, which he immediately gave to the queen because duh. After losing the life he’d granted her before he was not about to leave her unprotected while he could help it.
Speaking of Rapidfeet, Ani and Lania decided to go on a shopping trip for Ani’s son in order to restock the healing herbs he used for his medicine. It was quite the productive trip; Rapidfeet won’t have to worry about running out of supplies anytime soon.
Ani for his part bought a little something extra for his mate, and the two had a romantic brunch together. Not quite the traditional dinner, but Ani saw no reason to wait.
After lunch, two groups of questers went out into the Shrieking Wilds: Azami and Riversweet in one group, and Ani and Rapidfeet in the other. Both father and son were still hurting over their loved one’s betrayal, and figured this would be a good bonding experience.
Happily, neither quest ended in disaster, and both groups came back safely, each bearing a load of treasure to add to the kingdom treasury!
There…really wasn’t much to do with Riversweet’s current job. Keeping a genealogy record was all well and good, but the kingdom was still relatively new. Once the currently-thin book was finished, Riversweet found herself with nothing to do. Thus, she decided a job change was in order. Specifically, to a gardener: Havenshire could use a bit of grooming, and Riversweet knew just where to start. By the time she was done, Havenshire would be a place of beauty, with perfectly manicured roads, colorful gardens, hanging plants, and more.
Yes, this was a much better use of her time.
The quiet afternoon air was suddenly shattered by what sounded like a mix of an explosion and shattering glass, immediately attracting the attention of the entire kingdom. What they found lying in a rather large patch of scorched grass was a young Guardian, who immediately took one look at Liam and started cheering.
Apparently, he had used a teleportation spell he’d ad-hoced together to bring him from his birth clan in the Gladeveins directly to his charge: Liam, much to the shock of the disguised centaur. And as his charge was here, of course Avalon wanted to stay. Queen Banith was hardly going to tell him no, and so the kingdom gained a new subject.
Right. Immortalis needed to go, and this time, Liam would make sure he succeeded. So far, every time he’d failed an assassination he’d switched targets, meaning the dragons of Havenshire wouldn’t expect him to go after the same dragon twice. Hopefully that meant Immortalis had let his guard down, though Liam wasn’t counting on it.
As he was currently in no physical shape to be fighting anyone, that left him with indirect methods of killing. That was fine with him; whatever got the job done.
It was a simple thing to replace the oil in his lantern with a special mix that produced a toxic gas rather than harmless smoke. Immortalis would simply grow more and more tired as the lantern burned, before passing out from the lack of oxygen.
Honestly, Liam should’ve tried this the first time around. The plan worked, and Immortalis simply suffocated in his sleep. A painless death, though it was hardly a painless passing - Azami in particular loudly mourned the loss of her guardian when they found him the next morning. To Liam’s delight, they had no idea about what he’d done with the lantern, and simply assumed the old Guardian had passed in his sleep.
Another dragon down. That had gone even better than he’d hoped - perhaps indirect killings were the way to go after all.
Well that sucked. At least Immortalis managed to get a life +1 off before Liam kicked him off the mortal coil, but come on. Blacksmiths are so nice, I needed him. And even worse, Avalon rolled to take Liam of all people as his charge. Liam. This isn’t good D:
Somehow I also missed the fact that Azami doesn’t have a charge so I rolled for her, and she picked the much more reasonable choice of one of Queen Banith’s soon-to-hatch eggies
On top of that, I have no room for the scandal hatchling; I only have enough space for the nest hatching tomorrow so no extra baby for me
Also, Windstorm is still up for grabs. Apparently she’s still trying to make her way out of the Shrieking Wilds lol. It’ll be cool to see where she ends up
