Burrowing ahead

[Anastasia]

"If you think it's so nice, maybe you can be his next bedwarmer," Sanzha's voice is sharp, "Don't think his appearance speaks to any infirmity, in battle or elsewhere. It's showmanship, nothing more than a mask to fool the foolish."

[Corwin]

"You should've said you dated before! I missed so much context!"

[Anastasia]

Brr. You're lucky the cold doesn't phase you anymore from that gaze. "It has a way of happening." Is the answer at last. "He is little known, but he knows how to move in the halls of power. The holder of the Coral Throne comes to at least know of him."

[Corwin]

"Don't worry about me, though. I'm happy with Amaryl! And now you've warned us all about him. So that aside, he seems like he could be a nice friend to have. Both for your training, and for our efforts on Water."

[Anastasia]

In that moment a reply is lost, because you feel it. A strong connection to Sanzha, manifesting between the two of you.

Node update, go read.

[Corwin]

Right.

"I guess we know what to do now!" Seira says cheerfully.

Right. Is Elle done with my gear? If so, I'll go do Asmodad's quest.

[Anastasia]

She probably is IC, but OOC I'm not. DM work's been crazy all around. Refresh me on the changes you wanted or link me to a loot post that goes into them?

[Corwin]

Sure

[Anastasia]

Okay, are the armbands listed there already in possession of all those powers like the +10 part and the rest?

[Corwin]

The linked post is what the gear is now. The second post is you asking what I want to do with it. The third post explains the desired changes. The fourth post is Elle approving them.

[Anastasia]

Soon enough you go to Elle. "It was mostly a success," Elle reports. The two of you meet in her private rooms back here, attached to one of her shops. It smells good in here - of flowers and a faint hint of wood smoke. She takes out a wooden box, polished and carved, and presents it to you. "The diadem you want is in there."

[Corwin]

Pumping her fist cheerfully, Seira takes it and puts it on top of her head!

[Anastasia]

"That's the helmet," Elle goes on, "It should have the same powers, it wasn't that hard to change it from a helmet to a diadem." She smiles as she reports, going to fan herself with her hand, as if too hot. She takes out another box, "Now for the staff. Here."

Inside this box is a pair of darkwood and gold spectacles, a tiny dragon motif blended and wrought into them. "They don't actually improve your vision, but they should work otherwise."

Loot post.

[Corwin]

"My eyesight is perfect," Seira notes, putting them on next. "They look pretty smart! Thanks again!"

[Anastasia]

"The one thing I couldn't do was transfer qualities on a one to one basis," Elle admits, "Perhaps Mystra can, I'll ask her when I meet her and find out if it's possible. Until then, the sword and armbands are right here for you," she passes them back over.
