"Glass Golem."
"Inflicts bleeding damage. We should Enlarge people."
Vartigan begins to work his magic and enlarges Lily.
Lily cast lead blades and then will use her surprise action to allow Gaedren to bane and inspire before charging the creature.
Gaedren Inspires and banes the Glass Golem, " It sounds like it eplodes when it dies.. not fun "
Asteria delays.
Vartigan Enlarges Lug.
Gaedren moves up and attacks it.
He tries to ready himself to respond to any strikes that may land on him.
Lana steps forwards to the creature, and ignites her blade.
"Bring all the fury you can muster!"
Hazel, Asteria, and Avarice all attack the creature.
The statue falls to the ground and shatters, out of which a dagger falls from its body.
"+2 Furious Dagger."
" A powerful weapon indeed... with this we will be able to equip the rest of us rather well. I suppose some can get better armor also. "
Gaedren inspects the group for wounds and then heads back to Nexus to Sell the very useful but overall expensive dagger to equip the group much more. He procurred 9151 gp from the Sell.
During this time Gaedren approached everyone to handle the status change, some would need knew weapons ad armor at this point. This eventually had Gaedren with the rousing situation of speaking privately with Hazel.
" Ah.. Miss Hazel I wanted to speak with you about something. Something I'm sure you would like to have some input on. "
"Shoot Gaedry." she says showing her fangs.

Gaedren blinks a few times as she seems happy. " Gaedry... I never knew you to be so .. friendly. Not that I didnt think you friendly inwardly I needed to speak to you about increasing your.. capabilities. Is there anything you specifically want? "
"Quite a few. Why don't you tell me what you can actually offer."

" I can provide you with many things. Better armor, a magical weapon, possible defenses but we have a limit of around 3000 gold. I however need to know about you. I.. Don't know much about you.. I've been making a mission for that not to be a thing. "
Hazel leans back in her chair, "What do you want to know?"

" What are you comfortable to tell me?.. You seem to be very secretive. I notice you arent very dextrous. "
"You ask and I'll tell if I want." responds Hazel showing her fangs more.
"Yes, my condition hinders my movement."

" Alright, Miss Hazel, I figured out you are.. a damphr. I have no real problem with that.. Though Im curious.. have you ever used those teeth? And your weapon, where did you get it from? It seems brutal. "
"Only for recreational purposes." she smiles.
"It belonged to a man who tried to kill me. I have no real interest in it, I just find it amusing to use his weapon."

Gaedren visibly blushes, " I see, so that means you will not need anything to augment it like Mona *cough* though it is quite alarming you would have someone try to take your life. Any reason why? "
Gaedren's eyes float back to the weapon, " I assume you have no real connection to the weapon then? I was thinking of enhancing it. As far as armor I was wondering how you felt about a heavier set? It would offer greater protection and as of late.. you have not cast much magic as I've seen. Though it would limit your movement. I just would rather not see you harmed.. it is the reason I place myself in danger instead.. I realize your kind do not take well to.. healing. "
He sighs, " I feel terrible, it is as if I am prying into something I should not. But I find you so interesting and playful compared to how I first met you. "
" I also had questions as to.. well maybe you could tell me your goal.. as I know.. pretty much everyone elses.. I've been figuring out ways to get them done.
"Ooooh, what do I want from the tower?"
"Let's see.... I don't very much like being this half undead abomination too much. I'm thinking something more austere."
"Why not be the Queen of the Damned I'm thinking, right? Reach the top, become a demigod and drown the world in blood and shadow. Sounds fun."
Hazel sticks out her tongue and smiles more.

Gaedren can tell there is absolutely some truth to what Hazel says, but how much, he is totally unsure.
Gaedren.. nervously chuckles, " That... doesn't quite sound like you, quite dark. What do you mean by.. austere? Please Elaborate. Your smile is... well.. err... "
" And what is it with the Queen of The Damned.. will you find a King? It seems like Master would be more fitting. He.. hehe.. "
Gaedren is sweating.. and needs a towel.
" R-Regardless... Wh-What of what i said before? The Weapon.. armor.. etc. "
"Yeah sure, more armor, a new sword, sounds lovely."
" G-Good... So umm... Is Hazel.. your real name? I ask so because I took your word for it but.. recently, and I hope you take no offense from this, it has seemed the women of the party all like to play tricks on me and prey on my kindness with small pranks. "
"No, Hazel is not my name."
" I see, and what would I have to do to eventually find out such a name? I am glad to tell you anything you would like to know about me as well.. If you wanted to know anything that is. "
"I like my name private. Hazel suits me fine."
"Sure, tell me some things about you."
" What is it you wish to know? "
Gaedren leans in closer, " We could make a game of the name guessing. Just give a letter every floor we clear or something. Sounds fun, right? "
"Sounds fun, sure."
"What do I want to know, hmmm?"
Hazel lets out a low growling laugh, "Were you trying to insinuate you could be my King"?
" Good Goo-pppbbbhttt~ "
Gaedren coughs heavily as he spills the coffee he was drinking during the little meeting. He tries to recover his composure the mess of heat and burns from the coffee and his throat seizing in that moment.
Gaedren smooths out his hair, makes a facade of a debonair suave man and smirks, " Maybe, but who can know for sure... you made it seem like you even needed a King. I'm not sure if I make a proper Lord of Darkness, Queen Hazel. " Gaedren waggled an eyebrow.
"Hahahaha." laughs Hazel as she leans back in her chair, before suddenly rocking forwards.
Hazel reaches down and flips Gaedren's chair over, spilling him onto the ground.
Upon which Hazel climbs on top of him and pushes his head to the side to expose his neck, which Hazel presses her teeth down onto lightly in a mock bite.
Gaedren feels his blood rushing into .. other extremities as Gaedren became.. aroused without his knowing. his breathe quickens and he stays slightly still about to retaliate somewhat.. though not sure if he has to.
" W-What's this Miss Hazel.. W-We both know t-that won't do much.. If you wanted something to drink y-you should have just asked. I'm seriously uncertain as to if I taste that good. " Gaedren gives off a even more nervous smile.
If she was actually upset or seemed to be waiting on a response he tosses her off.. or attempts to.
Hazel giggles as Gaedren rolls her off him, walking away.
Gaedren gets up and pursues.. though a few feet between them.. " W-What was that about Miss Hazel?... I don't think.. err.. that.. " Gaedren finding it hard to walk.. as he realizes why soon.. closing his legs tighter.
"Just a bit of fun." Hazel winks.
"O-Oh... Right.. How playful.. W-Well if you ever want to know anything.. or feel like telling me anything.. d-dont feel afraid to do so. "
Gaedren bows slowly to Hazel.
"Yeah sure, pick me out a good sword, I'm counting on you, don't disappoint me."
Gaedren goes to sell and purchase many of the materials for the party, he decides that incremental increases are the best. For Hazel he wanted something special as it seemed like the weapon meant little to her.
+1 To Lugs Beetle Leg
+1 to Varitgan's Bow
+1 to Lana's Sword
+1 to Lana's Buckler
And then when it came to Hazel he returned revealing a particularly sharp serrated weapon with two hooks at the end. A +1 Rhoka.
" I... thought about your fighting style, your strength and power, your personality. This seemed the best. "
"Pretty. I like it. Really fits my Queen of the Damned idea, yeah?" Hazel smiles at Gaedren.
" I-I suppose so.. I was more looking at brutality and efficiency.. it's quite sharp and readily can cut someone down. Mixed with your abilities it will likely be a godsend. Though I couldnt wield it all that well. I'm glad you like it.... As for Queen of the Damned... I hope you arent too serious. " Gaedren scratched the side of his neck
" That would.. complicate things... I'd be obligated to help your goal as I promised. "
Hazel just smiles at Gaedren and then walks away.
Gaedren is.. stunned that Hazel seemed to be toying with him slightly. He would gather the party having re-equipped quite of few of them and decide to try 4A now that all of 3 save for 3-C were cleared. he would caution the party cast their respective longer lasting spells before descending.
