Lucy's magnificent rod (Lucy)

[Anastasia]

It's not hard to get Renbuu's attention. After all, he's making a spectacle in Aurora's courtyard. He takes a long look at you, "Ah, good afternoon, Miss Light. Splendid of you to come, though I was hoping for a more avant garde presentation. No, you really should step back and try that again with more chaos.

[Corwin]

"I can do that, Mister Rainbow!" Lucy dreamily responds, all but thrusting the Rod of Wonder towards Renbuu.

[Anastasia]

Refresh me, is this a normal Rod of Wonder?

[Corwin]

It's a bullshit rod of wonder using wild magic from a table you never shared. One of the rolls caused infatuation, another summoned creatures....

Renbuu takes one look at your rod and then it is in his hand. "No, no, no, this won't do! Too much light. It needs more!"

With a loud snap, Renbuu breaks the rod across his knee. He then smashes it together like artist's clay, slowly molding the pieces together. He's gone and then a moment later you hear Baleruk roar at the top of his lungs, then he's back with a shiny, prismatic scale. He smashes that into the fragments, molding and shaping.

Soon enough Renbuu has a small figurine of a dragon, perhaps a foot long and eight inches tall. "Now this? This is art!"

Figurine of Wondrous Power: Dragon. This figurine transforms into an adult black dragon on command. If slain in dragon form, it cannot be reused for one hour.

Refer to figurines of wondrous power for more details on how these work.

[Corwin]

"It is very artful," Lucy dreamily agrees.

[Anastasia]

"Go now and show the world your dragon art," Renbuu commands, "Show them all!"

[Corwin]

With a shrug, Lucy summons the dragon from the statue!

[Anastasia]

The black dragon appears as commanded, a roar as as it looms over you. Oh, it's a rather large black dragon alright, just what you expected to get.

The crowd watches and murmurs in surprise, several starting to retreat in face of the dragon before you.

[Corwin]

"Please do not worry, he is tamed!" Lucy calls out, patting the dragon's tail without fiery retribution. "Would anyone like a ride? Miss Elena, perhaps you would like to partake?"

[Anastasia]

Elena pops in, wearing full plate and carrying a ghostly lance. "Sure!" She chirps, "It follows orders?"

[Corwin]

"It will follow yours," Lucy assures Elena.

Even if she has to repeat them herself~

[Anastasia]

Yep, that's Elena riding a black dragon around Aurora's courtyard, laughing as people watch her and...

Do you wanna do much else here or good to move on, Lucy?

[Corwin]

I want to drink my sorrows away with a sympathetic listener, preferably a mage.

[Anastasia]

You go to drink. By chance you run into Ebony as you go to get it, a look at you.

"Lucy, is all well?" Ebony asks. Her hood is up and her wings wrapped around her, a pause as you pass.
