Giant...spiders? Likely had some potent venom. Hm, could make for excellent self defense methods depending on the concentration and effects. She'd have to find a 'darkwood' at some point. Maybe ask Cait. Would be a good way to spend her time. While she waited for whatever it was Cait was afraid of to pass. That said, there was no ruins? Odd. Perhaps the entire civilization that had supposedly been here had completely been swallowed by the shifting land, then. She might have to look deeper to find something.
...Come to think of it, if the land shifted, then a chart of sorts wouldn't even help, would it? Even if she found the place it used to be, it wouldn't be there would it? She had to wonder just how far the shifting lands reached. With a frown, Charlotte poured a clear mixture into the mixture, causing it to bubble.
"A small and simple mixture to help with ones beauty." A complete and total lie, but Charlotte felt no remorse.
"It makes one skin silky smooth, and frees it of all blemishes." She reached into her cloak again, pulling a small piece of cloth out as she covered the coconut and started to shake it.
"Certainly your highness would love to have beauty that could make even the spirits jealous?"It wasn't anything spectacular as that, really. In truth it was a simple quick-acting knockout drug if ingested. Simply made and while not harmful would make most any human-sized assailant feel more than a bit woozy. Would make most of your average human completely knocked out unless they had some sort of resistance to drugs. She could make something like this fairly easy with just a few ingredients, water, and a bit of her own little.
"Requires a bit of knowledge about certain chemicals and properties plants have, but its effects are easily seen after drinking it." She poured it out into the other half of the coconut after making sure it was well enough mixed. The resulting liquid was a pale orange colored, and smelled vaguely of plums.
"Might feel a bit tired at first, but that's the medicine doing what it does."After handing it off to Aislinn, Charlotte simply waited as she drank it, watching. After about ten seconds the effects started to take effect. Aislinn would find her vision blurring and sudden, extreme fatigue overcoming her as her body slowed. Her thoughts would become sluggish, and any movement attempted to be made would feel as though she was fighting a current of water. As soon as she was completely knocked out, Charlotte gave her a few experimental pokes to make sure she was in fact, completely out.
Grabbing a few lengths of rope from her belt, Charlotte started setting about tying the girl up. Arms tied behind her back, Legs tied and forced into a kneeling position. A few extra lengths of rope had been tied around the woman's chest and stomach area. A single length of rope had been left trailing on the ground, and with a single tug Charlotte could make all of the ropes temporarily tighten.
To say she had some experience in this sort of thing, was an understatement.
As she waited for Aislinn to wake, she crouched in front of her. She probably wouldn't be out for long, but as soon as she woke she'd find herself face to face with Charlotte...who was chewing on a piece of dried meat and giving the native her usual cold stare.
