A long but uneventful day

by Dekar

The news from the elf was not what I was expecting. Apparently all he had completed was an analysis of the body parts I’d brought back. He warned me of what an item I’m requesting could do in the wrong hands, but did not say he would not make it. Inara was here, and she was rather apprehensive about my decision to have such a weapon made. Given her history with the Staff of Changes, I’m not all too terribly surprised, but at the same time, she offered me no alternative to my path. So I told the elf I still wanted the weapon made, and he agreed to do it. I still need the brain from Vignir, however. I’m not looking forward to doing all of that still.
 
The others had their things they wanted taken care for the day, and I apparently woke too late for my love. Inira left before I was roused to follow Grimaldus and assist him with his bandit assaulting. The others were still about when I came out of my room, but I largely ignored them. Inara and I did not exactly end the night prior on a good note, upset as she was that I still wanted the god-slaying weapon made. I cooked some food for myself and left on my own, though Hassim did try to get some information from me before I left.
 
Going into town, I decided to buy some new clothes. I’d been wearing the same thing since we left Latria, and they looked tattered and ragged. I borrowed some inspiration from other people browsing the bazaar, and got an outfit more region-appropriate. I decided I did not need any armor for now; it would only be more restricting. Also I’m sure Inira wouldn’t mind the look. Having not spent most of my money for quite some time, I had a small sum to spend, and decided to spare no expense in this. I accentuated my clothes with gold; boots, belt, bracers and bands. A fine look for a god-slayer. I sent a message to the others later on in the day, having forgotten that Hogar had summoned for us the night before.
 
For the remainder of the day I used my time in trying to create a new art. The bond I have created with my weapons allows me to summon them from anywhere on the same plane as me, but what if I could teleport myself to my weapon? The implications excite me. I have seen Secilia use a similar sort of magic with her amulet so I know it is possible.
 
The meeting with Hogar was… a thing. He wants me to get a ring of mind shielding to protect myself from the dragon in the Nameless City, but I don’t understand why he doesn’t just get one for himself? They don’t seem quite that rare…
