He grumbles at me, but finally lets go.

"Right. The, um... trials. Okay. Um. Which one of these would be good to start on..."

He looks over the list for a moment.

"Aha! This one'll work. I need you to go into the nearest town and buy me, um... a calf. Maybe two."

"A calf?"

"Yeah. Um, I... don't remember exactly how much those cost, so, uh..."

oh my goodness this is a lot of coins

"That'll cover it, right?"

"yeah i think it will"

"Well, what are you waiting for, then?"

okay, um

... Right. He wants me to go into town. I should probably go get some clothes from my place before I head out there, and a pack to carry all these coins... or I can just get new clothes and stuff when I get to town. I'm pretty sure they won't arrest me or anything for being naked, but I haven't been to town in a few months.

Definitely don't spend his money on clothes, this might be part of the test. But let's not go home either, that might also be part of it. We need to do this as efficiently as possible, let's go straight there and straight back.

Hmm. I don't remember that wall being that big.

Seriously, that wall used to be, like, a fence. This is a little unsettling.

I guess I'll just walk up there?

I don't think I've seen either of these guys before, but honestly I can't even remember what the guard looked like last time I was here, so... I dunno.

The one with the spear notices me first.

"Hey! Uh, who're you?"

"No 'halt, who goes there?' Unprofessional."

"Quiet, Eryhkeh! Um, I'm Saikhan, and these are my friends. I live over northwest of town."

"Huh. ...why are you naked?"

"My clothes got stolen. I was actually coming into town to get some new ones."

Somehow I don't think telling him I'm here running errands for a big dragony thing is gonna win me too many points.

"I guess that makes sense."

"So... what's with the big wall? It looked more like a fence last time I came to town."

"We've hit a pretty rough spot lately. There's some kind of power struggle going on over in Tsagaan, so we have to be prepared in case any of that makes its way here. A group of bandits from that area have already raided Rashant down the road. And we've also heard that there are some, uh, magical beasts getting active around here. So we're being careful."

Wow. Sounds like a lot is going on.

"Anyway, I don't see any reason why you can't come into town."

"Thanks!"

"Didn't even ask about me at all. Heh."

Well, that wasn't so---

"Eh, Zorig. Aren't you going to ask why she's walking around with an armful of gold?"

"Oh! Um. Sorry, I didn't even notice."

"Pay more attention to what's important."

"So. Um, Saikhan, was it? Why do you have an armful of gold but no clothes?"

Okay quick guys I need a cover story. If they're worried about magical beasts I definitely shouldn't tell them I'm buying stuff for a dragon.

Let's be pretty much honest but leave out the part about the amtsvdragon. Just say that a friend of yours wanted you to buy him some livestock and gave you some money.

No. 356227 ID: 29e6ea

Yeah, say your home was raided while you were out bathing/swimming and all that was left was some gold you had hidden away for emergencies. Your clothes were in your home, and were some of the things stolen. No idea why they'd want clothes, but say that the "bandits" took entire boxes in their rush and your clothes were in one.

Or something.
If they ask about your friends, say they're your friends and wanted to support you in this time of need/you're staying with them.

"I got this from a friend of mine who wanted me to buy some stuff for him, since I was going into town to buy new clothes anyway."

That's close enough to the truth that I don't feel bad.

"Sounds alright to me."

"Just a moment. Your friend can't come into town himself?"

"Well, um--"

"And he didn't have any clothes for you?"

"Maybe. But it's fun to have a little variety in life. Beats just sitting out here leaning on my sword all day."

"So... can I go to into town now?"

"Sure, go ahead. I seriously doubt you're capable of anything nefarious."

I'm glad that's over with.

"Actually, say. Hey, Zorig. Why don't you escort this nice young lady to wherever it is she needs to go? Tell Suren to come out here and spell you, and tell him I said so if he complains."

"Th-thank you!"

Zorig pulls the gate open.

I pay for the outfit -- it only costs four of these coins! How much money am I carrying around? Actually, I should probably get a pack on my way out of here.

"Hey, Lyskir! How do I look?"

No magic! Even if the guards hadn't mentioned that the town is on the lookout for magical beasts, I'm pretty sure that trying to change the size of things would have a terrible (if comedic) outcome!

"Do you want me to ask if we can get something made that would actually fit you?"

"I, um... I'll stick with my hat."

Well then!

"Um, Purev, was it? I'm looking to buy a calf. Do you know where I could do that?"

"There's a marketplace on the other end of town where the local farmers come to peddle their things. I don't know if there'll be anyone selling livestock today, though. You might have to head out to a farm if that's the case, but I'm sure Zorig will be able to help you with that."

It's actually pretty weird for someone to be naked out on the street like that.

I head down the street to see what he's saying. Everyone watching looks kind of bored...

"The government is trying to control your mind! All this stuff about magical beasts trying to conquer the town from the inside out? Nonsense! It's just a farce, so that we let them double the size of the guard! Soon enough they'll confiscate all our weapons, and then where will we be?"

How many others are there? Last we checked, there were at least two, possibly three if the thief you were chasing was in cahoots with them. Better ask about the rest of the gang before you do anything reckless.

Hang back for a bit and watch what he's doing. If he's just sitting there looking through your stuff, and the others aren't too close by, you might as well sneak up and knock him out.

Well the bird is now obviously real in the eyes of the guard(s), so his way of getting in won't be your way of getting out (not that it was in the first place). You've caused a loud commotion so stealth is out of the option. If you are good at fighting, fight your way out.

If you grab a weapon, grab the ax. You don't know how to use it in a fight, but it can be used for other things, like chopping wood, and doors. Or knocking fools in the head with the flat side.

Is that a children's book of ABC's on the floor? Was one of the bandits trying to learn to read? Or maybe he used it to take notes. Take a peek in it.

I don't actually have a good response to that.

"Well. While you were off doing whatever it is you were doing, I decided I'd snoop around a bit. Just to kind of see what was up. So, I followed this shady-looking guy who was robbing people's houses."

"I think I met that guy."

"There was someone robbing houses? Damn it all."

"Yeah, for the number of guards in this town, you're pretty awful at your jobs. Anyway, I tailed the guy for a while and eventually followed him to where he was hiding out. Mostly he'd just stolen random junk. I think he might have a disorder or something. But I did find something pretty cool in there. I don't know where he found it, but he had some kinda reservoir for magical energy in there. I'm pretty sure he had no idea what it was."

We should probably get that magic reservoir, even if it is drained. Don't know if Zorig would be cool with us taking it, though; It is technically stolen goods. Maybe Zorig will look the other way as thanks for finding that kleptomaniac. Even if he doesn't, having it locked up in the guard barracks would be a safer place for it.

...Uh, there's no danger of Eryhkeh losing control of that power and exploding, right? 'Cause if there is, maybe she should put some of it back in the reservoir. Enough to get down to horse-sized from house-sized.

As soon as I turn around, the farmer slams the door shut and locks it. I guess he's not even going to watch to see if I actually take a calf or not.

I walk back over to where the others are.

"I don't suppose you could carry a couple of those for me?"

"Whatever." She stomps off toward the farm.

"What do you need calves for, anyway?"

"I have to give them to some dragon-looking thing so he'll get rid of a curse that makes it impossible for me to do magic."

"There's a dragon around here?"

"... yeah?" I guess I never really explained what was going on to Zorig. (Or Nilaka, but I get the feeling he's not particularly concerned.)

He looks puzzled for a moment, then shrugs. "Whatever. We're supposed to be on the lookout for magical creatures, but it hasn't bothered us so I'm just going to pretend I never heard anything."

(Take a deep breath after that long run-on sentance.)

Hug Nilaka in the hope that you two's luck temporarily cancels each other out and you can take a short rest before everything goes nuts again. This has been a one crazy long day, and a nap would be great right about now.

PROMOTE BLOODFLOW TO THE SURFACE OF HIS DEAD SKIN LAYERS.

Er... I think that Big Green Dragon with emotional problems is about to rise out of the crater and drop the proverbial magic hammer on Eryhkeh's head. It would be prudent to put some distance between you two right now. Run over and hug Rodozi.

Tell her she's got issues of her own if she thought that it was appropriate to blast someone with a fireball just because they bet they could beat them in a fight. There are less destructive ways to demonstrate that! Like pinning him down with a wall of force!

Hug Rodozi and say you're glad he's ok.

You probably shouldn't hug him at the moment. That tends to bad a bad idea with burn victims.

I hate to admit it, but you're probably right. I withdraw my last statement.......with a lot of effort. >.V.<

I'm about to yell at Eryhkeh again when I notice it looks like Rodozi is climbing out of the crater.

... What the heck?

"Ughh... what on earth did I get hit by?"

"Um... are you okay?"

"I got this killer headache, but I think I'm gonna be just fine... wait, who are you again? You seem familiar..."

"I'm--"

"Oh yeah right you're the girlie with the curse. I'll get that fixed up for you in a jiffy, once I can see straight again."

What did Eryhkeh do?

"Okay, chickadee, you're all uncursed and stuff. Thanks for getting me the cows and all that, although I can't remember what I was gonna do with those."

I don't really feel any different from before... Did he just call me "chickadee?"

"So, um, do I still need to do the rest of that stuff?"

"Well, it'd be pretty chill if you did. Plus I'm gonna be helping your little lizard pal out with magic all the time so I imagine we're gonna be hanging out a lot anyway."

"Really?!"

"Sure thing, brosketball! I got nothing better to do lately."

"Actually, you know what? Outside of this headache I feel way better than I have in forever. C'mere, you guys."

Wait what

"Put me down!"

"You too!"

"Whatever, you sap."

I don't think this really went the way I was planning on, but I made a bunch of new friends.

I think I can live with this.

"Oh, come on. Lemme have this."

Magic, the best cure for all that ails you! No, really, all that ails you. Consult your local witch doctor for more information.

Only 17? We're going to have to do better next time!
