Operation: Blackcrown (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

Konstantyná looks Auric over. "It may be a curse, but, without knowing who had done that to you, there is little we can do."

"Is there anyone here in town, or anyone that they might know of that could determine who cursed him, or if it is a curse? If something was done, it can be undone right?" She asks, her concern for Auric clear in her young voice. Looking at their newest member she asks, "Do you have any idea who could have done this to you, or why?"

Drago's eyes drifted to Toni, his mind drifing back to when she had broken a curse. "Toni, do you think you could do something?"

Reference

"That was when Rikali was my Midwife and we had her sword," Toni says. "I don't think I can do that on my own."

"It could have been the people who kidnapped me or the slaver at the City of Brass," Auric says with a shrug.

"I feel like a second wife," Malyoxa says with a sly grin.

"I've had three Summoners in the span of a month or so," Konstantyná remarks.

"Maybe if you stop treating them so bad, you can settle down with one."

"That wasn't really funny, Malyoxa."

"Right. Michael maybe?"

"Sorry, I don't know how to behave in these situations. We have to do something for Auric before we do anything else."

Toni nods. "That's probably the best place to start, since I don't remember if it's wizards or clerics than can break curses."

She smiles at her Midwife. "I agree, Malyoxa. Auric comes first."

"Either can," the changeling says. "They just have to have sufficient power."

Jin looks at Auric's midwife, "Do you have any idea what can be causing this, or what we might be able to do about it?"

Hitome smiles at Malyoxa's quip, seeing the humor in it. She could tell that the concern for Auric was real though, as was everyone else's, he was now one of their own and enabling him to connect with his eidolon was a priority.

Hell pretty much any magic user can....other than Summoners.Remove CurseLevel bard 3, cleric/oracle 3, inquisitor 3, paladin 3, shaman 3, sorcerer/wizard 4, witch 3

*raises hand* I can do it, and actually have the spell prepared, but someone needs to ask around to figure that out, since not that many of youh know me very well. Konstyntyna might know, or Toni, ifc someoned goes to Barclay about it, h ef can probably tell them who to go to too. It just depends on what you guys wanna do.

"A dragon," Toska brings up absentmindedly while enjoying his tea and second muffin. "Or someone pretending to be one."

Jin's eyes get a little large as she looks at Toska, "What do you mean? Are you sure? How do you know this?" She asks in rapid succession.

"One tried to intrude on my dream where I was having a conversation with Auric's Eidolon, the rude prick." Toska responds

Malyoxa chuckles at Toska's answer.

"If a dragon is involved, then Michael would be the best person to talk to," Konstantyná says.

"It looks like we'll come into conflict with dragons sooner rather than later." Hitome muses.

"It's always something," Toni says. "But I suppose it's better to expect it than not."

Drago glanced Yulia's way, then turned back to Toni, "It'll probably be easier to handle them with more hands available. I may not be a Summoner anymore, but I still have blood ties Blackcrown and would like to help in its restoration."

Jin looks from Toni to Drago curiously. Tilting her head to the side slightly she asks, "So, what do you do then Mr. Drago?" Her natural sense of curiosity would not allow her to not ask the question.

"To be completely honest.....," Drago paused for a moment recalling her name, "Jin, I'm still working on figuring that out. But I am more than capable of assisting in this endeavor."

Jin nods, "If you are confident in your ability to help us in this endeavor...then we believe in you too and welcome any assistance you can give." Jin says looking to the Szef, "Right Ms. Toni?"

"Right," Toni responds. "I guess until we figure out how to solve Auric's dilemma, we'll hold off on righting wrongs and smiting evildoers."

"I believe you are confusing Summoners with paladins, Toni."

"It was just an expression."

"Soooo....how do we find the dragon people or whoever they are? We can smite them first....or do we need to find a way to remove whatever this is that's affecting him first?" She asks, unsure of what they should do to solve his dilemma.

"It depends on the curse," Gyrthr says. "Perhaps this wizard's power will be more than enough unless we are dealing with an ancient dragon...then it we may have to turn to a ritual or slay the one who cursed Auric. At least, that's my understanding of curses."

"Oh, a quest. That would be a nice bonding experience."

She nods, looking as if in absolute heaven while sipping on her delicious hot chocolate drink, "Then let's go see this wizard person when we're all ready."

Laenid looks from Malyoxa to Hitome then shrugs.

Jin looks over at Malyoxa and barely suppresses a giggle.

Hitome smiles. "It would be a good thing to get used to working together before having to fight a dragon. Bonding is a good thing."

"It's settled then," Toni says as everyone finishes their food and drink. "I'll take Auric and Toska to Michael's to see what he can do. I also need to see if Jelks finished their house."

"Okay." Jin says as she slouches in her chair and rubs her very full belly, "Oof....I think I need a walk after all that yumminess NeeNee. My tummy is sooooo full." She says before letting out a loud belch. Turning a dark pink Jin giggles as she covers her mouth, "Excuse me please."

"They were indeed very delicious," Toska adds after finishing off his third muffin.

"It depends on the curse," Gyrthr says. "Perhaps this wizard's power will be more than enough unless we are dealing with an ancient dragon...then it we may have to turn to a ritual or slay the one who cursed Auric. At least, that's my understanding of curses."

Missed this one.

Toska nods along. "Those outcomes seem likely."

"We can walk for a bit then," Laenid says. "But not too long with this weather."

"True, not everyone can naturally deal with the cold all that well, which is something to consider long term if we'll be heading North come to think of it." Hitome say thoughtfully. As her gaze falls on Malyoxa, a random little smile curls her lips.

"Strangely, with a few exceptions, the weather seems to be uniform across the continent," Malyoxa says.

Konstantyná gets a faraway look in her eyes for a moment before shaking her head. "I'd better head back home. I'm expecting Arista."

Toni looks to Konstantyná. "Good, bad or in between?"

"Just meeting up for lunch," the changeling says before waving at everyone. "I'll see you later."

She departs out into the snow.

"Svanna and I shall head home for the time being, then," Gyrthr says, taking his wife's hand. "Thank you for your hospitality, Yulia."

Yulia smiles as the Summoners begin to depart. "Any time."

Malyoxa turns to Toni. "Do you want me to accompany you or am I free to do as I please?"
