There is little to say or do this time to rally the Wraith's nerves and steel her spine; the relics seem beyond her reach and the only thing she can actually still do is try to make herself stronger. A noble effort, sure, and that would be the safe route.

But she dearly loves her trickery and her toys. And Wessex has always been the high-risk, high-reward kind of woman.

So again, she leaves everything in the Grounds. No Knowtbook. No weirdly warm shawl. No weapons. Just herself against the dragons and a repeated prayer to her Lady that her luck will hold. As night falls heavy across the tallest peaks in Caido, the demigod teleports herself back to the opening of the Draig and this time doesn't bother to try and hide herself - she just starts running across the open area. Either the dragons will come or she'll make it to the next board area. Either is just fine.

----------------

Wessex gave the Knowtbook to Jata here: {se} where only ghosts walk and comes without any extra items.

Is this deja vu? Does history actually repeat itself? A question far too philosophical for the moment, which is little more than a mad dash across the ever-frozen slope. Nothing but her feet churning against the slick, snow-covered ground and a bone-chilling wind she doesn’t quite feel raking across her face. Doing the best she can to keep her footing, she’s learned by now that you can’t dodge a dragon, so though the Wraith constantly glances skyward, it’s only so that she might know what’s coming. Be it fire, a thief, to brace herself for a change in scenery, or for it all to go dark.

Still, she sprints on.

Well, not quite deja vu, I suppose.

From the cloud cover overhead shoots a black smear that is moving incredibly fast for how large it is. Flying at Wessex, the dragon smashes its tail against her, sending the ascended askew and launching her 10 or so feet into the air before she falls back down. It's easily the hardest the demigod has been hit in a very long time.

Unless Wessex tries to bait the creature into staying, the black dragon will disappear back into the clouds.

Wessex most certainly does not try to bait the dragon into staying, ‘cause it ain’t the dragon she’s looking for and she’s not here to kill or entertain anything other than either: get her shit back or make it past the first obstacles.

She hits the ground with a heavy thud and skids a few feet, her sensors transmitting just how hard she’s been hit (as if it wasn’t obvious from how far she flew). “Dear Gods…” she murmurs to herself, glancing skyward in case it’s just, y’know, circling around and waiting to come back. The demigod shakes her head and then the rest of her body, trying to refocus herself and once again, very glad to not feel pain. Activating her Healing, Wessex sets her potential path again, and dashes forward.

----------------

Wessex uses her healing magic to heal herself and then starts sprinting again.

Magic: Healing | Minor cuts/abrasions/bruising heal nearly instantly. More severe injuries (broken bones, muscle tears, etc) heal at 75% the speed. During PQ+/KQs, heals at mas tered levels, with a chance to heal instantly depending on injury/luck.

Wessex heals herself and as she does another dragon-shaped smudge begins to appear. Only this one is green and fat and warbles towards her with a toothy grin.

With a yowl, the creature swipes at the demigod, doing no damage, but removing a certain lightweight cloak from her inventory. It lingers, grinning stupidly and waggling its claws.

Is it the green dragon she previously encountered? The Wraith slows (not that she could have outrun it) and turns to face the oncoming smudge, hands at the ready for something. Then her funny little shawl is gone, just like before, and Wessex frowns in determination. Three orbs of electricity form in her hands and as that fat, sassy dragon wiggles its claws at the demigod, she hurls all three balls, one right after the other, at the thief. If this isn’t the one, then let it be a representative of however many green dragons fly around here.

Belatedly, there’s the thought to heal herself again - she’s got nothing left for it to steal, but those claws are still somethin’ else.

-----------------

Wessex launches three electricity balls at the dragon and will try to heal herself again if there's time.

:C :C :C says the dragon as electricity ensnares its emerald body. With a warble of pain and a cry for reinforcements, the dragon takes an experimental swipe towards the demigod which she's easily able to dodge (at which point she's able to heal herself because this isn't a real encounter)

Well that’s what thieves get. Doubly so for taunting thieves. Emboldened by her previous success and the warble of pain, Wessex first dodges the outstretched claws with a nimble scamper backwards and then prepares for another attack. The Wraith rolls her wrists, flares her palms, creates three more electricity balls and lobs them again at the green dragon. Surely if she hurts it enough it’ll give her shit back, right? Or fly away? Will she have to chase it? She’s in the dark here, both figuratively and literally, but this seems to be… working? Or at least getting her somewhere?

Wessed throws three more electric orbs at the dragon.

Depending on how much drama you were looking for here Wessex, it might either surprises or disappoint you to know that the dragon rolled a one is doing very poorly against you not that it matters because one full blast would have killed it anyways.

As yet another snarl of electricity ensnares the creature, the demigod will see the dragon's eyes bulge out as blood begins to trickle out of its ears. Just a second later followed by the smell of cooked flesh, it drops dead of complete cardiac arrest. Once its magic is completely gone, a pile of things that Wessex will recognize for the most part, appears at its side.

Loot drop!

If Wessex does not teleport out in her next post another dragon will be rolled for.

The green dragon has been slain and has dropped

Manufactured Adrenaline | a syringe containing a daily dose of adrenaline. Can be used once per thread. Raises all stats by 1 for one post and increases an ascendeds other senses for the duration of the thread.

Leviathan Chakram (Upgraded): An unbreakable chakram created from the scale of a leviathan by the Voice. With razor-sharp edges, this discus will always return to the hand of whoever throws it, and will always do so without injuring the hands of the thrower.

What’s this, what’s this? Wessex watches with a disturbing fascination as her electric orbs hit home once more. The dragon dies a gruesome death, with the Wraith never taking her eyes from it. In another world, she’d have been an excellent executioner. Almost like magic, a pile of items appears by its smoking, bleeding corpose, and she wastes little time trying to collect it all before seeing the bag and then shoving what she can - which turns out to be everything, after the initial surprise - into it. Nor does she linger, having learned a little more about the Draig and gotten exactly what she came for.

Wessex teleports back to the Grounds, leaving the dead green to feed the rest of its kin. Dust to dust and all that.

----------------------

Wessex shoves all the loot into the Bag of Holding and then teleports back to the Grounds.
