+1 witch (pls don't burn her)

[reparo]

-- but I am thrilled to be here, Eastbound!

Bringing you Hermione Granger of the HP-variety. Because I am sure the whole game as a whole needs more know-it-alls. She's coming in fresh out of the Battle at Hogwarts, so I look forward to exploring all of that.

Meantime, my name is Cella and I am S T O K E D for shenanigans and more. You can add me on shortitude if you want, though I sadly cannot provide any cat or dog pics :(

In game she will be instructed to be:

[...] assigned to Vannozza, receiving a court identity as a foreign modiste who invented a novelty, especially breast-enhancing corset and who has travelled to cosmopolitan Taravast to gain feedback and measurements for her latest prototype — a responsive and most flattering codpiece. A second codpiece variant that she wishes test tried screams when the wearer thinks unchaste thoughts. She will be given samples of both and a few corsets to carry around.

Shield your dirty thoughts, you absolute scoundrels.

the dragon's fate is now in...!

DRAGON DERBY

The people have spoken: the dragon lives to traumatise hapless innocents another day. You can make your own logs or network posts, or play this out in the latest event log until 9 October.

CURRENT STATUS
The dragon is running rampant in the river moat surrounding the Bessis tower. The Bessis spire is located beside a twin Attaryl tower in the Artes Mundi, bordered by the necromantic district (north), the healing one (west), residential areas (east) and the banking halls (south) leading to the ports of Taravast’s city-side bay.

Outside: The highly agitated dragon's cold magic is slowly erecting an ice wall around the spire. It breathes cold and ice and can freeze characters. The creature sometimes bodily slams the tower. It is susceptible to fire.

Within the tower: the undead, panicked crowds, Bessis witches spewing fire indiscriminately, you.

✘ VOTED OBJECTIVE: furtively smuggle and release the dragon.

INSTRUCTIONS GUIDE

Below are the conditions that have to be met to get this show on the road. You can pitch your own ideas HERE, volunteer your character to an existing plan, or split into groups.

■ Tranquilize & Resize | Soothe, sedate or distract the dragon. Probably best to hash this out over the network. Scale the dragon down to a portable size. Options: personal magic, coaxing or forcing cooperation from the Bessis or Attaryl witches on premise, investigating the Bessis halls for helpful artifacts, etc.

■ Deliveroo | Get the dragon to the ports. The fire-wielding witches of Bessis and Macaluso Spina’s sentries will give chase. Stay masked and choose your itinerary wisely. Diverting through the adjacent districts rather than heading straight to the ports could help lose them.

■ Ollie the dragon out | Steal a raft, boat or ambitious dingy and get the dragon very far out into the bay. Release and resize it, then run.
