Mithris nods. "I'm so sorry. What happened is terrible. But I'm not like that. I just want to help."

"I understand that, in theory... but old habits die hard." He smiles ruefully.

"I know it's not the same, but my parents were killed by giants. My people have hated them since the moment we met. I think I'm the only one who doesn't. They may be different than us, and my parents might be dead because of them, but we've murdered them, too. Now, because of our hatred for each other, both of us are nearly extinct."

Quote from MandosMindos_KoR >>

"Big city. Ruled by wizards. Has an Academy of Magic. I studied there for a bit. Later came back as a speaker. Nearly died. Good times."

Kio's eyes widened. "A school for magic? That's incredible! I wish I could attend an institute like that. Are you a wizard of some kind?"

"Probably? I was never properly recognized... and the fact that I got expelled certainly didn't help. And trust me, the Academy isn't all it's cracked up to be."

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"The folks there have questionable morals, at best. At worst, they're downright psychopaths, and are entirely willing to kill you for a leg up. The competition there is ruthless."

"Still, it's not worth it for everything you get to learn there?"

"Not... really? I guess parts of it were... but in general it was a bit of a net loss."

"Sorry. That was rude of me.." He rubbed the back of his head. "Do you have any spare scrap metals by the way? I'm not really sure where the markets are around here."

"I don't believe I do, sorry. I think there's a market [insert directions to a nearby market or something along those lines]."

"Thank you. Sorry if I offended you at all.."

"Not at all! The Academy was a problem, but that has nothing to do with you."

"I hate to ask a favor but you know magic, right? One of my automatons has been out of sorts lately and I can't figure out why... I think it's a magical issue and not a mechanical one. Could you help me maybe? Not that you have to or anything."

"I... could try?" He stands up, stowing his things in a pocket within his cloak. "Keep in mind, I'm not very good at artificery, even the more arcane bits..."

"Again, I'll tell you once you give it back."

"Even if I give it to you, as soon as it gets here it'll join the sword swarm or whatever that thing is."

"So give it to me outside. I mean, you can think of basic solutions, right?"

"That would work I guess." Atemos steps outside.

Chase does, too, tossing his silver knife into the air and catching it by the handle.

Make a WIS save.

*WIS: 8.*

Fail. Chase is subject to the rules of Dominate Monster. "Tell me who gave you the sword and tell me what it does. Or anything you know of it."

"A woman gave me the sword. It can cut things."

"Tell me the name of the woman that gave you the sword."

"Scyria."

"Tell me all the magical properties of the sword that you know."

"Well, it's made of glass, but hasn't broken. I mean, a sword made of glass that isn't broken? That's pretty crazy, right? Especially with all the cracks. A cracked sword made of glass that isn't broken is kind of miraculous, right? I guess it is broken, though, since the tip is chipped off. You do know that the tip is chipped off, right? I mean, it'd kind of be weird for you to miss the fact that tip is chipped off. A glass sword with cracks in it and a tip that's chipped off is pretty cool, isn't it? Though I guess we might have different opinions on what things are cool. Like, you think that using enchantment magic on people who've done nothing wrong is cool, while I just think that a glass sword with cracks in it and a tip that's chipped off is cool. I mean, I do think some other things are cool, though. Like magic. You can do magic, right? I can't do magic. It'd be neat to learn magic though, especially from someone who knows magic. I guess it'd be hard to learn magic from someone who doesn't know magic, though, right?" Chase takes a deep breath. "I think I need a glass of water..."

"Repeat all of that, twenty more times." Atemos summons a cup of water and drinks it, very slowly.

"All of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that, all of that."

"Do a backflip."

Chase flips off Atemos, but backwards. "Your spell won't last forever. But I can keep doing this."

*How would that be done? It seems like you'd be flipping yourself off.*

*Don't question the logic.*

"Avarice. Avarice Teyoluse." She smiles. "Tell me what exactly you need."

"You're serious..? About doing it for free? Because I can't let you do that. It feels wrong. Please let me pay you first."

"It's not a problem, but I guess you can pay me if you want to."

Soldaer is sitting under a tree near the tavern, a look of intense concentration on his face, as well as a hint of confusion, as he studies his rapier, which now seems to flash every now and then rather rhythmically.

Shade is on the training grounds, busy beating the crap out of the animated dummies.

Phantom is inside sitting in a corner, just kinda watching everything.

He nods his head. "As the philosophers say... violence begets violence, hatred begets hatred, and vengeance begets vengeance. I'm sorry. I have to say, I feel like we got off on the wrong foot... my fault entirely."

Kio's eyes widened. "A school for magic? That's incredible! I wish I could attend an institute like that. Are you a wizard of some kind?"

"Probably? I was never properly recognized... and the fact that I got expelled certainly didn't help. And trust me, the Academy isn't all it's cracked up to be."

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"The folks there have questionable morals, at best. At worst, they're downright psychopaths, and are entirely willing to kill you for a leg up. The competition there is ruthless."

"Still, it's not worth it for everything you get to learn there?"

"Not... really? I guess parts of it were... but in general it was a bit of a net loss."

"Sorry. That was rude of me.." He rubbed the back of his head. "Do you have any spare scrap metals by the way? I'm not really sure where the markets are around here."

"I don't believe I do, sorry. I think there's a market [insert directions to a nearby market or something along those lines]."

"Thank you. Sorry if I offended you at all.."

"Not at all! The Academy was a problem, but that has nothing to do with you."

"I hate to ask a favor but you know magic, right? One of my automatons has been out of sorts lately and I can't figure out why... I think it's a magical issue and not a mechanical one. Could you help me maybe? Not that you have to or anything."

"I... could try?" He stands up, stowing his things in a pocket within his cloak. "Keep in mind, I'm not very good at artificery, even the more arcane bits..."

"It's fine. Any help is appreciated." Kio gestures to an inactive mechanical warg chained to a tree. There's a parking boot on its foot and a blue, glowing sphere next to it. "That's the power source."

He casts a quick spell, and examines the automaton. "Alright, and what's the problem?"

"When I turn it on, it starts attacking anything it sees. It also sometimes adapts to gain spells I didn't program it to have or abilities I haven't seen before. It'll change after I hard reset it, though."

Roll Arcana to examine.
