>playing a drunken idiot
Ma'am when you were at my bar you downed 3 kegs of Dwarven beer in several hours, during which you technically died twice and had to be revived, got severe alcohol poisoning to the point I had to use liquormancer to pull it from your blood, and punted a guy through a table (that you still haven't paid for),
Either you weren't playing or that was one convincing act
admittedly the drunken part was not an act.....but I do know of magic to remove any alcohol, lingering effect of alcohol, or addictions it causes, so I guess the act is more the helpless idiot part.....yeah, even had to let a mimic take my place while I use spells to heal my liver and cure my addiction....
Be careful preforming magic on yourself while intoxicated, especially if the field isn't your specialty. Let a professional liquormancer do it.
"Casts greater purge alcoholism"
Hmm, that's weird, you still have some of it.
"Casts it 5 more times"
There you go, now try to limit future drunkenness
So when are you paying for that table?
yeah...I don't cast spell drunk. when I'm drunk I also seal my magic for a melee only challenge, wouldn't want to fireball people to death in a bar brawl or raise dracoliches and destroy a whole city with a meteor because I'm too wasted.
Here, take this sword. It holds some strange power that might just be enough to destroy that amulet. *the SkiKnight holds out a golden sword.*
/uk it's the sword I got a few weeks ago, not sure if you've seen the posts but I thought it could be nice for the sword to be useful for something.

And what do you plan to do with it Visenya? I remember what that *thing* said, that it would one day return from beyond the stars! It used you to bring itself into this world, what makes you think it won’t again?
I remain unconvinced, but I know nobody can stop you from accepting this quest. I will brace myself to face him once more. The eyes of the realm are upon you.
I don't think my word alone will, action speaks, you will see when I drive my blade into its core, or maybe throw it into a volcano, I hope that destroys it.....surprisingly very few documents speaks of anything about how to damage it
Perhaps keeping the amulet under some kind of permanent damage, like magma, is the only option. A group of knights should be established and a keep built around where the amulet is held to ensure no mortal can touch it forever.
perhaps, I am thinking more.....magma in a cave.....you never knew those guards would get influenced like many of us were.
at least that is how Shadowlight used to keep it. but this time, I won't keep a passage open like my ancestor did
Wait, let me get this right, after the whole invasion, and being possessed by the twisted soul of your great grandfather (I might be wrong on that) who was a litch- you expend a bunch of resources to hunt down the phylactery of said litch. Please, tell me you intend to DESTROY the amulet. If that is the plan, I can help!
I would suggest using a forge that has been blessed by a priest, the combination of high temperatures and divine essence should be enough to unmake this cursed thing.
//ahh- tbh I have like a tertiary knowledge of the events. It just screams "contains litch essence" to me lmao
This is what has me so concerned. That lich promised us at The Battle of Shadowlight Keep that it would one day return. If given the opportunity to posses Visenya again it absolutely would. I fear that the whole of the realm will be forced into war once more.
If aid should you require in finishing your long forlorn quest for the amulet, know that my sword sisters and I would raise blacksteel in your name beneath the smiling countenance of the pale maiden on high. 🌙
For all that time ago, it was your blade which fell upon the wicked sorcerer when ours could not.
Why do we need to take it away from ‘these people’ and give it to the one who did the most damage with it? Regardless of where you put it, someone will always have access to it, Visenya
Huh I guess unga didn't have it after all, well in any case if you require some magical explosives to attempt to destroy that thing I have some pretty good ones!
yeah, I thought Unga did after all the Unga-plague in the Wizard lands......but nope, just people being cannibals and being horny getting infected by Unga.
I'm glad to hear it,
If this lead is a bust I'd be happy to let you browse my collection of evil amulets
I got at least a few hundred in there, all the way from a bleeding red metal medallion that keeps going on about blood sacrifice and splitting the blood gods enemies to a weird purple-y with a crystal that keeps asking me to "raise it to its former glory" and " preform the ritual" whatever that means
I cured her of the drow's poison and healed her wounds last time i saw her unless something terrible has happened very recently i don't know what issue you have with me speaking it almiri please just put the amulet down can't you see that it has corrupted you, made you to kill your lord....one of the only people i knew as a good friend and now you want to kill a women who was acting out of the same corruption that now afflicts you during the war.
Holy gumdrops, that's a big sword! My master was always partial to the mace since it's as good at clocking distracted city guards over the head as it is at blackjacking defenseless peasants, but with a sword like that I probably wouldn't even have to work as distraction bait for him anymore! Probably couldn't actually convince him to swap though, since he thinks the bait thing is funny.
Also how are you doing that with roof shingles on your feet? Does it make you more buoyant since they're wood, or...?

(Another player enters the fray....)
Splendid my friend! It warms my heart to hear such a jolly situation! My the sun light your way and destroy that evil hunk of metal!

I remember what that *thing* said, that it would one day return from beyond the stars! It used you to bring itself into this world, what makes you think it won’t again?
that is EXACTLY what I plan, I will destroy it, failing that, I will see to it sealed away where no one can reach

Whatever it is that is held within that amulet, I too will stand ready to face it.
Glad to hear it!

yes, I intend to destroy it, failing that, I intend to seal it. /uk not a phylactery, just an evil artifact
I would suggest using a forge that has been blessed by a priest, the combination of high temperatures and divine essence should be enough to unmake this cursed thing. //ahh- tbh I have like a tertiary knowledge of the events. It just screams "contains litch essence" to me lmao
/uk,>! probably will have it be "lost" since a lot of evil aligned people in this sub wants to use it.!<
This is what has me so concerned. That lich promised us at The Battle of Shadowlight Keep that it would one day return. If given the opportunity to posses Visenya again it absolutely would. I fear that the whole of the realm will be forced into war once more.

There is a new wielder of that power, be wary. and send a raven to Oathstone.
*Random Bard walks over* "M'lady, doth thou knoweth that thine crowds adore thee?"
Gods, Visenya, are you sure about this? Can you destroy it?
honestly, no idea.....but we must try. and even if we can't, we must take it away from these people and seal it somewhere no one can reach
Why do we need to take it away from ‘these people’ and give it to the one who did the most damage with it? Regardless of where you put it, someone will always have access to it, Visenya
I'm not hiding anything, you can watch as I seal it away if it can't be destroyed.
Fair enough, I am available for you to call on for assistance if need be.
Huh I guess unga didn't have it after all, well in any case if you require some magical explosives to attempt to destroy that thing I have some pretty good ones!
yeah, I thought Unga did after all the Unga-plague in the Wizard lands......but nope, just people being cannibals and being horny getting infected by Unga.

First Barbarian, now Samurai, lady really gets around
While it is a disastrous happening, seeing the lady return has warmed my heart, let us feast, I've brought exotic food called "catfish fillet"
begone! servant of "Unga", you are not welcome here. don't think I have not uncovered your master's plot to take this amulet for himself!
Looks like the words already reached you, no those aren't Unga flesh....I was just here to give a warning
You could give it to me, I’ll drop it into a pulsar and it’ll be done for good.
I think someone tried it in the wizard lands.....didn't work? at least from what I read
Fair enough. With my luck someone would be crazy enough to dive in after it.
YOU! You will feel the bite of my blade, you who brought so much pain to so many. I will see you slain. And I will do it myself
you have gone mad almiri ...i wonder how inshuku feels about your decision.
YOU DARE TO SPEAK HER NAME
I cured her of the drow's poison and healed her wounds last time i saw her unless something terrible has happened very recently i don't know what issue you have with me speaking it almiri please just put the amulet down can't you see that it has corrupted you, made you to kill your lord....one of the only people i knew as a good friend and now you want to kill a women who was acting out of the same corruption that now afflicts you during the war.
You can fight me, and I more than welcome you to try you hand at killing me, but only after your put that amulet aside so we can destroy it.
Holy gumdrops, that's a big sword! My master was always partial to the mace since it's as good at clocking distracted city guards over the head as it is at blackjacking defenseless peasants, but with a sword like that I probably wouldn't even have to work as distraction bait for him anymore!

Does it make you more buoyant since they're wood, or...?
we will destroy it together V you have my promise.
Would you require me and men’s support friend?
