!!!! (Surraruthru, 88 days left)

[Iron Dragoon]

Probably best to start in the morning then. If there's still time, I'll probably just use it to shine scales and visit the hydras. I'll be casting the same buffs the next day, so stat blocks and stuff won't change.

[Anastasia]

Okay. In that case...

As you head out with that done, you glance outside of Aurora. Huh, a rainbow colored slaad is dominating things outside, drawing and painting food into reality or some such sorcery. Elena stands just inside the gate, watching intensely, as does a crowd of others.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru quietly strides over to Elena and takes a seat next to her before speaking.

"Even though the magic that binds you to this place is rather unique, I'm sure we could find a way to create an avatar body for you so that you can participate in things like that. It might not be one suited for combat, but there's certainly a way to do it with enough effort."

[Anastasia]

"Thanks, but I'm fine," Elena says, "Don't worry about it." She turns to flash you a momentary smile as the crowd murmurs at the spectacle before them.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru grunts.

"Even if one is meant to serve others, their dreams as still worthy of being pursued. I believe you do more than enough for everyone here to have things for yourself as well. Though I honestly don't know why you'd want to be a part of... That."

Surraruthru stares at the spectacle of slaad insanity with a look of great exhaustion.

[Anastasia]

"Who says I do?" Elena laughs a little bit, "I'm keeping watch, just in case."

[Iron Dragoon]

"You looked rather forlorn, but then again, humanoid gestures are always odd. In any case, whatever those slaad are doing is sure to end in a mess and confusion. I'll be no part of it if I can help it. I'm going to check in on the hydras. Enjoy the... show."

[Anastasia]

"Good luck and keep an ear open in case things go wrong," Elena says, "Just in case." She turns back to watching the spectacle outside, whistling low, "Did he just do that with a paintbrush?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Any idea what Kascha is currently doing?"

[Anastasia]

"She's busy in her room, don't disturb her," Elena doesn't look away, focusing on the scene. Now Calleigh's getting bothered after Jaela was given a paintbrush. Huh.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru grunts. Now who will apply the polish?

In that case, Surraruthru turns and heads towards the Cryohydras.

[Anastasia]

You find the cyrohydras in their den, devouring a rather large meal. It looks to be heaps and heaps of caught fish, the great beasts eating them with all heads. Hundreds of fish are being eaten every few moments, an absolute massacre if you're a fish.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Enjoying the meal? You know it tastes much better if it's cooked. At least, if it's cooked the right way."

[Anastasia]

Your commentary is generally lost in a whole lot of feeding, unsurprisingly. A few give you looks, and one does speak up, "How much better?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Significantly. Though it also takes significantly more time to be ready to eat. And is, in general, much harder to do. Especially in the quantities you all need. Though worth it. I'll look into a solution for you all... Perhaps a variation of the unseen servant? Hmm..."
