“oh you will, spymasters are always busy.”

@Cerebrate  
Thank you. I hope to see you again.

@EclecticInspiration  
“with them and the populace, and as i assume the bane beasts, we will need to openly oppose the druids dear.”
 
Worm: “indeed child, the wyld has felt what transpired, and the druids are gathering.”

@Jinx  
“she has a soft spot for the wolf prince, the one betrothed to your friend river, arrange something and she may become more agreeable, offer to make her clan official and you have a friend.”

@Cerebrate  
“It certainly would’ve been nice. I was told the rot will do its own thing, and I believe that. Now surely you had more than just the dragon clan in mind when you sent me. What is our next step?”

@Cerebrate  
Anything i should know about her before i make my visit? I intend to get her support.

@Jinx  
“what can i say, foxes make the land theirs wherever they roam, though not always in the same manner, Bart, her father is content singing and getting cheered on, i am content keeping and telling secrets, and she decided to be more literal about making the world hers.”

@Cerebrate  
Youre her mother?

@EclecticInspiration  
“so we cut them down without the worm’s aid, or the rot will do to us what it did to the king. if controlling it is that easy we should have done this long ago, my dear queen.”
 
 
@Jinx  
“ah, so many questions about her, but i can tell you a few things indeed, she was always an ambitious girl, even when Tau was still everything a king should be, she tried to eke out a clan of her own, rousing citizens to her side and organizing desaster aid… some claim she also organized the desaster but if she did she is much better at covering her tracks than is possible. the king shut her down no less than five times, and when the rot took his mind he finally sentenced her to hang. she and her supporters heartily disagreed with that notion and she had the old badger Horaz, a knight of the court, free her and flee with her, since then she has gathered all that have been disenfranchised by his majesty. she declared the bandit clan a thing and here we are today, treating her as a power worth considering in schemes. i feel just a bit of motherloy pride, she grew up so fast.”

@Cerebrate  
Well, id like to know about the vixen, scarlet. I need to know everything i can.

@Cerebrate  
“It’s not a bad idea. They’re prime real estate to spread this gift. So are criminals. The only concern is their knowing not to misuse it- to dare to use the gift on the living is an afront to death itself, and they will pay with their life.”

@Jinx  
how ironic, the source was another vixen, of the traveling folk.
 
Spymistress: “ah, one of my best customers, and the future queen, what may this humble dame do for you?”

@Cerebrate  
she needed to get more information on this scarlet, so she did what she was taught and found herself an informant

@Jinx  
the cadre os specialists was growing, and the netwroking witht he other clans going well, but the people were likely still behind scarlet, and the vixen seemed wary of making further agreements.
 
@EclecticInspiration  
“hmm, would perchance a few soup kitchens for the dregs to feed on combine the useful with the pleasant?”

@Cerebrate  
“So be it, lady Griotte. The worm tells me you’re pursuing the gift also. I think we should…introduce it here. Lowlifes like this thief are good candidates- provided they don’t cross the wrong people,” she gestures to Griotte.

@Cerebrate  
Thank you.
 
she planted a kiss on the rabbits lips before smiling and walking off, headed to find her next task.

@EclecticInspiration  
griotte looks on in fascination.
 
“if nothing else comes out of this venture dear, you’ll at the very least make the singular best cleaner in armello. I am joking of course, but for one thing, do not bow to me anymore, i can practically feel all the qualities you had before amplified, you are the superior here.”
 
the worm that had begun whispering of conquest and destruction helpfully informed her that griotte indeed had started on the road to him, weaker corruption than her own, but it instilled the desire to serve.
 
 
@Jinx  
the rabbit curtseys before escorting her honored guest out and handing her a mark.
 
“this will let the rabbits know that my support is behind you, wether they agree or not isn’t guaranteed, but it will make them more willing to talk… even hargrave.”

@Cerebrate  
“Oh, uh…thank you, my lady, but I still do not compare to you. I don’t think I can pull off the sorts of colors you can.” She inspects the cadaver, placing a hand on its remains and willing the body to turn to ashes, noting in her mind it would’ve been good to practice on hunted wildlife before doing this here.

@Cerebrate  
Thank you. Youll be called upon soon enough.

@EclecticInspiration  
“mmh, i must say the new look is quite becoming, i mean you were a looker before but your colors then were so mundane.”
 
 
@Jinx  
“i’ll see what can be done.”

@Cerebrate  
Hence why i need an expert to entomb them.

@Cerebrate  
“The fool should’ve known better than challenge our Lady.” She steps forward, allowing her changes to be seen, even if most of her body is covered like usual.

@Jinx  
“I’ve worked with druids before, they call them stone wards… making them large enough for the country may be am issue though, a settlement or a city is easy enough to protect that way… so long as no one starts a riot and smashes them.”
 
she gets lost in thought.
 
“if i perhaps incorporate the runes into city walls i construct directly…”

@EclecticInspiration  
nothing escaped griotte’S notice in her own home though.
 
“ah, you’re back sooner than i thought, my dear, give me just a moment i was nearly done here anyways.”
 
with that she brought it down one last time, ending the until then weakening moans of her victim abruptly.
 
“spry little thief, if they had tried it in any other house they would have had no trouble.”

@Cerebrate  
It will destroy him, and purge the rot from him. After that i will confer with the druids to devise an option to create a sort of…anti rot structure.
 
(Think of a big fucking circle where no rot can be present)
