I wonder if i should even attempt to dispel the whole thing with Kay's modest purification skills.

Isle of Atria (Open World, Always Open)

There we go I actually did some formatting.

Also, @AtomicNut, just a small thing. The King doesn't know Arlo is from Moonfall.

Sir Kay

Sir Kay eyed the so called court mage. He was young and skinny. Well, magic users rarely did ever depend on physique, but still, he was under the impression that for humans, magic mastery usually took decades. Was this man truly a Wise man? He thought as he waited for Arlo to come back. He did a slight double take under his helmet. My, my, aren't you a little too tall for Leveret fashion? He added mentally, his clothing being reminiscing of the hare folk. He was getting slightly cross about the whole situation. The king had placed his trust in a green whelp with harefolk tastes in clothes.

And he had to see through his success.

"Oh, pretty simple, master wizard." He said, the word 'master' somehow stuck in his throat for a second. "Just do some of your mystical handwaving thing and get rid of the plague that scours this kingdom while you don't trip on your robes. Don't get killed too. That would be... exceedingly bad." Sir Kay stood tall, his hands resting crossed on his chest. "Incidentally that's why King Lancaster, in his wisdom has entrusted me to help you. I need to be sure that I stop all the knives in the dark that might be misplaced on your young but surprisingly-critical-for-the-interest-of-the-kingdom heart. So I will be at your service. We will get this magic malarky sorted, and I will have a look at the strange undead tracks on the swamp afterwards. Call me sir Kay" He finished, relaxing his stance, as he offered the minimal bow of courtesy.

Sir Kay

For the most part, the rest of the travel had been uneventful. Even if he still remained keen on trying to know what was that traveller exactly. He did not look like neither male nor female, and human, but not quite. Still it was night, and the creature did not look rapacious or otherwise violent, so he left him be. Wondrous things existed in the kingdoms, and he had more battles to fight.

He was an early riser. Even though he had slept in the stables alongside his downtrodden companion, he still rose sharp and stoic, practicing some combat maneuvers before washing himself and breaking his fast with a small serving of bread and jerky. He could have sword that several of the tavern wenches had been eyeing up his exercise routine, but that wasn't much of his concern. Knights needed not to be taken by lustful thoughts. He had more important things to do. So much time it had passed before he had presented himself to his King, and he needed to look that part. He put his best regalia, including a cleaned cloak, draped over his otherwise worn armor. Even if worn by many battles, a single piece of dragonscale was worth more than the most beautiful armor.

He announced himself as his true name, Sir Kay of Starling, and he knelt somberly before the monarch, gripping the blade before offering the pommel to the King. "In this time of need, I have answered your summonings, my King. My sword is yours to command."

"Rise, sir Kay. And Well met." The King said politely and somberly. "I shall acept it glady. These are dire times, and men of your talents are always sought." The monarch added. "I am aware...of your past inclinations, and therefore I would ask a thing of you."

The King paused for a second. "There's a wise man, Arlo, which I have entrusted to find a solution to the current situation. He is to succeed. That shall be your task, sir Kay. Make him succeed." The old King said ponderous and firm.

So he entrusted a wizard to do something. In a country of magic-haters. I would rather hunt unicorns, to be fair. He thought to himself as he rose, the helmet obscuring his disappointment.

"As you command." Kay answered.

"You may take your leave sir Kay. I believe that Arlo has not left his chambers yet. You may seek him, thus." The king said. "You may leave, sir Kay." He indicated. Sir Kay offered a last bow, and he exited, his cloak dragging as he did. It didn't take much time finding the place where the guests were usually. Once upon a time, he had been a guest of the castle himself, when he was still a lordling.

He saw the man standing in a door, after a certain mysterious figure had taken his leave.

"Are you a wizard?" Sir Kay asked, his eyes fixated on Arlo and his state of dressing.

I think it's a bit soon to tell it's working but so far... no "I will exterminate you and your descendants for seven generations" kind of threats so we're good.

Isle of Atria (Open World, Always Open)

it's gotten late. Sorry no post tonite.

Isle of Atria (Open World, Always Open)

Really a dragon shouldn't have to worry about that. They would have huge capacity and I doubt they would feel the need to push past that limit with what overwhelming power they already have.

@Jojo

Her ass is so fat her farts can kill people. Good to know.

Well i would not mind. Lamia would certainly be in their naughty list what with her munching priests.

Isle of Atria (Open World, Always Open)

Oh, something I should mention. I know not a lot of the characters so far actually use magic other than Arlo but it's something interesting to know regardless.

You can force your body to take in more mana than it can hold, but if you do it in excess you'll disintegrate.

@Jojo

I wonder what is the maximum for someone like Lamia.

Isle of Atria (Open World, Always Open)

On a side note I was wondering if the King would receive sir Kay in an audience.@Jojo

He is beowulf and is here to kill some monstahs

Isle of Atria (Open World, Always Open)

Cider isn't evil either but he's basically a wild animal with the intelligence of a human toddler. I was thinking about making him decide for himself that all people can't be digested because Kaite looks human and he had no success trying to eat her. So he'll just eat livestock and/or market food.
