[excelsus]

My promises pay dividends and I keep them.

[inconstantly]

in that case expect me to come around in the morning

give you plenty of time to get over that shock

[excelsus]

planning to perk up my day? I could think of worse ways to begin my morning

[inconstantly]

can't let you face those spiders without feeling fully energized

[excelsus]

I'm so touched by your consideration and eagerly anticipating your presence as well

@SPIRITFINGERS

[inconstantly]

i don't know how else to put this so i'll just come right out with it

i'm going to the stadium

[excelsus]

how in the maker's frilly knickers did you come to be so fortunate?

[inconstantly]

you remember what i told you, right? about the auction and bringing my winnings to the party and the party becoming precarious but i ended up turning it around and now i have jankeh's favor?

[You're not being very clear, Johnny. Slow down.]

they gave me a weapon to use in the arena. now that i'm inadvertently on this stupid journey it seems like a waste to step away now

[excelsus]

[Dorian's skill in political intrigue enables him to follow along well enough.]

are they twisting your arm to use this weapon and fight in the arena, or is it your choice?

[inconstantly]

i don't do anything i don't want to do

i can win. i've been preparing in multiple ways and have a strategy

[excelsus]

i'm sure strategy will save you from political sabotage

if they want to hurt you how can you be so sure that any of this will save you? can you at least have backup or something?

[inconstantly]

i don't play games i can't win

i looked to the future specifically for this purpose

and while the future is never completely certain what i read told me i would win. i wouldn't go if the signals said otherwise

[excelsus]

forgive me if i'm not entirely comforted by this

however you think you're going to manipulate this situation to your advantage, i'm begging you, think again...because there is no such thing as an advantage, just varieties of disadvantage

[inconstantly]

so be my backup

[excelsus]

without hesitation, of course.

[inconstantly]

thank you

something so short almost seems flippant to say

[excelsus]

you think I could let you go it alone knowing where you would be going

you don't even have to ask

and besides i can hardly drink all of this wine on my own

[inconstantly]

[Right, the wine. The thought makes John feel both hopeful and a tinge of regret, but he's not backing down now.]

i can hardly let you do that

we'll have a proper go of it once this is all over

[excelsus]

is that a promise?

[inconstantly]

absolutely

[excelsus]

then i trust you

@legolas

How does your magic work? Can you put blessings on people?

[excelsus]

Blessings? I'm not sure what you mean by blessing do you mean in a religious context?

As for how it works, it's a natural, physical phenomenon and some people are able to interact with it and draw upon it from the Fade.

Is something wrong?

[duskmeadow]

My friend at home could cast a spell that would help us. She'd ask her god for help, and it would give us an edge in a fight, so to speak.

It's not the same for you?

My sister and I are going to meet the princess. It's not supposed to end in a fight, but I don't want to go in there without some kind of back up.

[excelsus]

I don't think the Maker listens to what we have to say, I'm sure demons are more inclined to pick up on the queries of a mage in need of a magical boost.

But here are my thoughts. Magic in and of itself is an edge in any fight, but it depends. The proper tool for the job as they say. You need crowd control magic? I have it. You need something to put the fear of the Maker into someone? I have that too. You want to do physical damage? I can manage that with magic. Barriers and the like? I have you covered.

The only thing I'm not particularly good at is healing, I can revive and rejuvenate, but I never put much focus into healing. It depends on what you need, in combat against spiders I can certainly be of assistance.
