Roll 177

Hey, you’re getting good at this resting thing. You could probably do a mini power nap, or Quick Rest by now.

”Alright what exactly IS this postal service and how exactly does it transport people?"

Kark: ”To put it simply, we put you in a box and box goes fast. Our postal system deals with durable crates of standardized dimensions, and the delivery time of a crate depends on how fragile the contents are. Sending letters is fast, since they’re Not Fragile, things like metal would probably fall under Intermediate since they can possibly be dented, and foodstuffs are usually Fragile. If we put a person in a crate with adequate padding and mark it as Indestructible, we can essentially deliver you to any specified location within a hundred miles, give or take a hundred, in a few short minutes.”


Vandolf: "Magister Suora, mind if I ask what types of magic you employ?"

Gamaliel: ”Fire and Light. A lot of explosions and flashy magic, bit of healing. You generally want to be careful about healing with Light though, apparently that shortens your lifespan. Something or other about organic data strands being shortened faster than normal, but nothing a good bio mage can’t fix.”

"Who goes there?"

The sounds stop. Or rather, they just get a lot more quiet - you can still hear the gentle sloshing as something moves through the water.

To make matters worse, you can hear subtle sliding outside, the failed efforts of someone trying to run in a silent manner.

____________________

You carefully stash the gauntlets away, making sure they’re not going to be jostled around, and take a look at the medallions as you and Miimas continue your way towards Fluustern.

All the medallions seem to have a unique symbol on them, including yours. It doesn’t seem to be a picture, not really sure what it means.

Faren-Wuust: The symbol on your medallion is supposed to be the signature of your spirit. It is your spirit name, in a way, even if it isn’t something that we can speak.

Your duo makes it to Fluustern without further incident. The city still has the moat and the dome structures of the other Lupus settlements, but the buildings tend to vary greatly in decorations and construction materials. Some are clay, brick, marble, there’s even one made of bones. Lupus in shamanistic clothing walk about, talk to one another, and live life in general. They seem to be on guard, though, looking side to side, occasionally glancing over a shoulder. An armored shaman stands at the gate of the town.

Horoma: We made it! Great work, Kyeltziv!

Aucupe: You get chicken for dinner!

Shaman Guard: ”Greetings, shaman. I sense you have been through peril making your way here. The Gauntlet prey on our kind and allies, we are in dangerous times.”

Tara: "I was in Atra Armor."

Elizabeth: "I broke my arm. Twice."

Alright. Sure, why not, let's do it. I mean hell, I tried to fight Lucida yesterday, this flying crate thing can't be more dangerous than that.
Just need to... Hm. Yeah, I think I'll land on my own, without the crate.
...
How DO you launch the crates?"

"Well, better than nothing, I suppose. Is this a time sensitive offer, Kark? I have some personal matters I would like to pursue before leaving Vranhal. It shouldn't take too long, but if this is something better done immediately then I can comply."

Kark: "Vranhal used to have these massive ballistae for defense, but they kinda became obsolete when the long-range kinetic mage division became a thing. So all these war machines were just lying around, and I figured I'd re-purpose them into something useful. Damn powerful things, apparently the launch is more intense than the landing."

Kark: "Not time sensitive, feel free to make any preparations. It's gonna be a one-way-trip, after all."

Elizabeth: "Yes I am aware, thank you."

Kark: "Hey, it works really well on non-living cargo."

Byrnolf: "It's how I get my lamp shipments to Magusalto in a timely manner! Can't beat the Ballista Express. The seventy-six percent item survival rate is even higher than the rate for getting past highway bandits, go figure!"

Kark: "We've actually been making modifications to the launch platforms so the acceleration is a bit more gradual, rates are as high as eighty-nine percent."


Gamaliel: "If that will be all, M'lord."

Elizabeth: "You're all free to leave, meeting concluded."

Three heads bow, and the Magister, Director, and General leave the room.


The Matriarch of the Daeli walks towards the door, stopping beside you to place a hand on your shoulder.

Tara: "Don't eat before you go."

With that she leaves, the office doors closing behind her.

Oh boy.

"A siege ballitsa... that does raise a few more questions. Say, Kark, just how accurately can you fire this thing?
And is there perhaps some way, such as some sort of portion or contruct, to allow the... er... passenger, to heal themselves afterwards? It seems that could alleviate many of the problems."

> Travel to the guard beast on the road to Mead once Kark responds. I'm sure there's more to that guard than meets the eye.



Maybe one day HKU or I will learn healing magic that we can use to create mana powered stimpaks. One day.
