Day 8; Orb 1; Intro

[brosif]

[Sif sits in a throne that does not feel like her own, but that others have insisted she take. Nonetheless, she does look regal – she has never had a problem taking command when a mission lies so plainly in front of her. This kingdom needs help. When her quest has been fulfilled, she can go home. That is the way of such things.]

Greetings. I am [and she pauses a moment, the words still uncomfortable] Prince Sif. That is what I have been asked to call myself. Like most of you, the title was thrust upon me and I have no need of it in the long term. But here, I represent my home of Asgard. It would not do for a representative of the Æsir to leave a kingdom unaided that asks for help. I am sure that the same holds true for those of you that choose to represent your own realms.

And so, I would seek this kingdom’s best and brightest to join me in an excursion to the Two Faced Forrest, to investigate these thorns. There is a sizeable reward available to anyone who can help us provide further information about them.

I'm curious what you intend to do with them, once we arrive at the destination?

[brosif]

That depends entirely upon what we learn.

But in general, I'm all for cutting away the whole lot of them.

[magicalflowers]

Please don't hurt them, the plants has feelings as well. I'm hoping to understand them.

[brosif]

...you have heard that the thorns are killing people?

[magicalflowers]

[She shakes her head.]

No, but I still want to understand if they are, why they are. Plants are usually nice kind and caring things.

[brosif]

Ah. These plants are not.

Understanding why they kill would be beneficial. But I would burn the lot of them if it meant keeping the townspeople safe. Can you understand that?

[magicalflowers]

I can understand protecting people, but isn't it also a good idea to make sure the people don't go near them until they are better understood.

Ah, sorry.
