Evie
normality is a paved road
comfortable to walk, but where no flowers grow
Evie makes a gurgled sound in her throat that has far too many emotions to parse as the rat explodes in size. While she is not the same girlish, fanciful thing she used to be, the creature is still seriously gross - more so now that it's freaking huge and its weird aquatic details are on display. Melita's calm demeanor is almost enviable, as Evie skitters over closer to the other woman and begins ushering her back out of the cave.

"Yes, let's go! Go!" She really would prefer to heal the thing's new stump of a tail, but given her magic has made it grow every single time Evie is totally cool with not. Now all they have to do is get away from the strange, magically-morphing power ranger rat and go look at their new prize somewhere else.

There are more than a few adventures that end with the hero's running away. But will you be successful? The dice say no.

Large enough now to be able to put on a burst of speed, the now tail-less Msme scurries down the pathways hot on your heels.

Like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
“Aw c’mon, dude, go away!” hissed out of her teeth as they rampaged back down the tunnels and pathways, glancing back over her shoulder to still see it in hot pursuit. A handful of ideas came to her mind, but all of them involved some level of violence, and at this point they really couldn’t have it growing much larger.

Her gilded eyes squared back to Evie, not bothering to hide her grimace. “Do you have anything to make it like…go somewhere else?” Entice it, perhaps? Not hit it, but ensure it craved veering in an opposite direction, instead of continuing to pummel after them? Because her only notions were inching towards destruction, and they knew where that could potentially lead.

See, this is why Evie’s choice to haul ass is clearly the right solution, because the evil thing charges after them immediately. Luckily Mel gets with the program quickly, the two women running through the cavern and trying to retrace their steps in the dark.

Luckily Evie runs every single morning. Unluckily, she’s not normally being chased by something while doing it, so she has to do something fast. Melita is plenty strong, but her strength lies in her weapons and fists, so Evie prays she isn’t being stupid and reaches for the stone and soil below with her magic. “I’m gonna try something!” And with a great heave she tries to raise a wall of dirt directly behind them. She has no idea if it’s big enough to smash right through, so hopefully the gratuitous stone and clay in Torchline’s soil would at least slow it down.

Clever, clever. Indeed the creature smacks into the wall just as Evie had intended. Whether or not this counts as an attack on the creature and makes it grow is something the two women won't find out - not unless Evie opts to drop the wall instead of hustling the fuck out of the fingers.

Well! Treasure hunt concluded, now let's see what your prize is.

Pity there's only one trinket to be had. I wonder who will take it?

Melita might have noticed that even though the Msme was changing in size, the golden band on its tail seemed to increase right along with it. Interesting. There are no tool marks on the band, suggesting it was divinely made, though there is the following fraction: 2/5. I wonder what that means.



Please tell me who will be keeping the ring!

Varyring | A golden band that can stretch up to 10m in diameter. When used to bind a creature, it can restrain anything below 15 STR indefinitely, can restrain things with 25 STR or less for 1 turn, and can make it difficult for things of 40 STR or lower to move.

The wall was arranged quite nicely, and a triumphant little grin curled around her face as they continued running. She certainly didn’t stop until they were well out of bounds, and she couldn’t hear the bizarre scrape of its shitty, creepy little claws anymore. “Whatever the fuck that was,” she murmured. “Good job.”

Giving herself a moment to breathe, she eventually remembered the gilded ring in her palm, and stretched it out for both of them to peruse and study. It was an intriguing little sight, and while she was disappointed there wasn’t enough to go around for the Evergreen and Honeybee to share equally, she had no qualms in passing it over. “It’s yours, if you want it,” she admitted, and for once it was granted without a selfish bone in her body; even if the existence of avarice stoked somewhere in the ambitions of heart. This was pure and simple. “You did most of the work anyway.”

If it had been up to Melita alone, the thing would probably be ten feet tall by now.

The relief at her success nearly takes her off her feet, but they're too busy hitting the ground at top speed to try and get as far away from the creepy rodent as possible. Only after they've slowed and started to catch their breaths does Evie turn and begin to finally get excited about the treasure that they've found, bending her head beside Melita's to investigate it. There are no forge marks or proprietary stamps, which is...strange.

Midway through her investigation Melita extends it to her, and Evie can't hide the stunned expression that has her eyebrows rising and lips parting. "Really?" Grateful for the dark of the tunnels hiding her pink, pleased cheeks at the praise for her efforts, Evie gingerly takes the item from Mel's outstretched hand. Slowly smiling, the Evergreen bumps her shoulders companionably with the Honeybee. "Thank you. Drinks on me then? And maybe we can sell that map to some poor guy." They didn't have to advertise that the treasure was already found. Surely someone would be enough of a sucker in Torchline to cough up the coin.

Lantern held aloft and ring secured in her waist pouch, Evie nudges Mel with a grin and sets off to find an open bar. Now that was something Torchline could offer that Halo could not.

- Fin!
Evie will be taking the ring!
