Comp Longbow, mw mighty +2: tiger aspect, rapid shot, precise shot
Torod casts Flaming Sphere on the far side of the two headed troll and has it run into them.
"That I can do." Torod's hand goes to pet Strawberry, but he pulls it back once he touches fur and realized that it's Chuffy instead. He then extends his hand again for a few strokes. The pair skulk off after the troll.
"As long as the cost is only in coin."
"No. No thank you." Torod begins to fear this place. "It is time for me to be on my way. I'll be taking my leave of the market." He leaves.
"Err.... yes. I am looking for a weapon to help me defend our nation. A bow would be preferred."
Torod shudders as the deal takes hold. He bows respectfully to the Crone. "All I wish to trade now is coin and I fear your bargaining prowess would leave me penniless or even owning more than I have. I will test my fortunes in the market." Torod makes to leave, but stops just inside the door. He turns back, "This is just what I feared for you, Asta. Torod often spoke of his fear of Asta's ambitions, but he just made a deal himself, how could he argue she not make one too? They are off to war and his deal was not to save the kingdom, but a matter of vanity, so that one man would like him. At least Asta's deal would matter to the world, though he worried how it would matter.
Torod still hesitates. "Will we also know the truth? If we agree to this deal, will I still be able to negotiate for a better weapon? What if Oleg doesn't care about the truth and still hates me?" That last question seems to be a surprise Torod. Almost like he didn't mean to actually speak it out loud.
"Truth for an ally at the price of a lie for an enemy? Are you ready to pay that price?"
The Crone's question causes Torod to stop. "Does he want to know?" He asks himself. "I did not consider that." He looks to Asta.
It takes Torod a moment for what she says to sink in. Then he suddenly gasps and grabs hold of Asta, "Do you think she can help with Oleg?"
Torod returns her studious gaze. "We came to do business with you"
Now, if there aren't any further questions, it would be my pleasure to introduce you to the Witchmarket. "I have a question. Can I have a list of all the rules of the Witchmarket and of the Crone of the Cart in language which I can read?"
Sense Motive Asta giving her weapons over is of no consequence, but that she so quickly gives her name and allows them to dictate terms in her kingdom speaks volumes to Torod. But he can be the difficult sort. "Vitalion, I am Torod, faithful of Erastil and defender of this land. To disarm myself would reduce my ability to perform my appointed duties. What assurances do we have that you will bend to the will of the law once we are disarmed?"
Perception
"I would go with you, Queen Asta. I pay for my own purchases even if the price is not coin."
"Trusting you is one thing. Trusting some other witch is quite the risk. But a flaming bow would be very useful in the near future." Torod gives her his requirements and some gold.
"Trolls are killing good folk and you want to go shopping for something pretty to wear." Torod complains, but follows.
"Our forces are well equipped, but they're already spread thin and, frankly, probably aren't our best option in this situation. We may need to do the job ourselves, your highness. Like when we first arrived in the Stolen Lands." Asta knows Torod as uncouth and opinionated, but he is rarely eager to shed blood.
Torod admires his bow after The Beldam is finished enchanting it. "I'll send the outriders to find the troll encampment. Then, with this bow bring down their leader." Torod will spend the time hunting trolls and looking for their lair.
Torod's bow is masterwork.
Torod nods acceptance of her response to his question. He then asks, "Would the Beldam be willing to do the same for my bow, only with acid?"
During their downtime, Torod will visit Lily Teskertin. He'll have flowers and a small gift. He explains that the situation with the Leveton child is settled. It wasn't to his liking, but it is settled. With that behind him, he'd like to continue to court her.
"This small plot of land inside the river is an example of an island. As is the land where the tower is where we first met. A knight is a warrior who does good deeds for their queen and country. They defend the weak, protect the land, and serve as examples of goodness and honor."
Tig calms down after you untie him ”Gosh, thank you, thank you that skull threatened me, my family. It ordered the lizards to put me in a pit of ells tied up, it was awful. Thank you for saving me. First I was captured by a troll and escaped, then hid from a giant, and ran from a dragon. I though the hermit was going to help be but he traded me to the lizardfolk for a brace of rabbits. Can I go home now Maw and Paw are probably worried sick. Am I in trouble?” [b]"No, young man. You are a marvel. Your bravery and skill has allowed the kingdom to make new allies. You survived where lesser men would have failed. Queen Asta and her council can use folk with your ability. I want to offer you a place with the Outriders. You'd be a junior member until you come of age and you will be expected to learn and follow directions, and I won't make it easy for you, but you would be doing a great service to your country and for your people. If you agree, I'll even talk to your folks about all this."
