To the root

[Anastasia]

Do you have anything concrete in mind or are you fishing?

[Iron Dragoon]

A little bit of fishing. Like, I made the hammer that granted skill bonuses, and that didn't cost me anything to actually make. Is there a reason why I can't use it in conjunction with Alter Reality and Potential to make something that gives skill bonuses or reduces time to complete a task?

[Anastasia]

Something, sure. We can assume 'something' that can give people boosts on drinks ala the victory arch in B3 and not worry if it's a +1 bonus, +2 or whatever since it's an aid thing for NPCs.

Not permanent ones, but long term enough that it's usable in day to day projects at least.

[Iron Dragoon]

Yeah, that's fine. I'm mainly trying to give them something that'll help boost and maybe help with speed.

[Anastasia]

Sure, just tell me what you want the physical form of it to be. Is a fountain good?

[Iron Dragoon]

Fountain is fine, as long as it makes clean water. It can also serve as a central social plaza.

[Anastasia]

Okay, keep that in mind for when we do more realm stuff soon. Anything else to cover with Delaize here?

[Iron Dragoon]

If everything is progressing fine otherwise and he doesn't have anything to bring up, then no.

[Anastasia]

Okay then, next move?

[Iron Dragoon]

Meet with The Red Knight, I suppose.

[Anastasia]

You're able to set that up with Jarem.

"About that," Jarem says, "She told me she was going to come visit shortly," he explains, "She's not going to sit back and wait for you to come to her."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Ah, well. In that case, let's prepare for her arrival. What would she enjoy?"

[Anastasia]

"A good drink, a good hunt, a good story. She likes to laugh," Jarem says, "Were she a man, you'd think her a normal, boasting knight with a taste for physical activity. She is no pretty violet like Sune or Sharess."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, we can take her into the Beastlands for hunt... For a drink, I'm not sure... Maybe we can find something in Brightwater? For a story, well... Turn your report of the guardian fights into a story."

[Anastasia]

"I have the drink covered," Jarem says, "Fine, I'll do that. A feast wouldn't hurt, or at least a hearty meal for all of us. We'll need to be prepared for when she does come."
