The Count of Monte Caido

Roana I am more than just a piece in their game To her surprise he seemed quickly put at ease by her odd request and its explanation. But she was thankful, not wanting to have to find another Ascended to tackle and wrestle to get this ingredient from. It seemed more fitting to be using a slight bit of trickery and truth bending to obtain it anyways, given the tricky nature of the god asking for it. ”Thank you Bastien, I will only take what is needed to fill this vial.” she said. It wasn’t terribly large, but certainly more than enough to accomplish what Ludo needed. Roana worked quickly but carefully, inserting the needle into a vein to extract the…blood she supposed. But it didn’t look like any blood she had ever seen. It was clear and…almost shiny. Were she not under a time constraint she would have stopped to stare at it. As it was, she had to repeat the process a few times to get a vial full of the stuff. She then tightly stoppered the vial and placed it into a small bag made of a thick material to guard it from sunlight. ”Done. Thank you, Bastien. Is there someone you need me to protect for the duration of your stay?” she asked, pocketing the bag away.
