>>393989>>394008>Panic rising as her eyes dart around in the 'Frame, critical NOPE is achieved once Celery trails off, leaping off the Floatblade to run southwest with a sharp whistle, canteens floating out of storage boxes and trailing after her haphazardly."GOT SOME BUSINESS TO TAKE CARE OF BE BACK SOON!"
>Amethyst prosthetic lifting to cover her muzzle, the older mare giggles brightly, setting it down to shoot you a merry expression."Hm! Ahhhh, Imperials. Ever amusing in so marely ways... I can feel THIS trade was better than our last two."
>Pausing to tilt her head, Celery debates for a second, then speaks in quiet seriousness."Please, do not ask an Imperial what occurred, nor what they experienced, before the Shield was brought down. If they choose to share, listen to their words without questioning. Their lives are raw, open wounds which heal with great difficulty. It is a disgrace to know they shall suffer for a long time, more so that there is little which can be done for them."
>Halted from opening crates, the Crispy returns, dragging a Float sled behind her, attached by a flexible blue cable to a locking clamp on her rump.>Turning around slowly, the cable is unhooked and lazily tossed over her saddle, blue lenses angled to you, then Celery."Here's your order. Need to go, too hot. That okay?"
"Of course. Take the rest of the night off, you have done more than enough."
"Will do."
>Nodding slightly and walking off, the sled's top is pushed open, each of the objects are floated up for inspection."Now then. The ingots are indeed in here, good. They are pure as can be and have been stored in stasis.
This particular Heavy Siege Golem's fist is an oddity. It features solely resonant properties, not magical or Elemental ones, thus it will not infuse. Best harmonized to a single crushing weapon of some type as it cannot be split for use.
The Bladedancer Signet must be worn on skin or infused to function. What it trades to act more defensively, it reduces the same in offense. It does not weaken, merely prevents from striking at full force.
Thaumis Rakefangs are best used with slashing weapons, though stabbing or piercing should work. Of course, it must be infused. The enchantmarent is activated as per usual, but do so with caution as the non-Elemental strike is fairly wide. It does not discriminate ally from enemy, which is peculiar.
I know next to nothing of Germane enchantmarents but have been told options such as these are common.
I do not know where this Core one was found, nor how it was made. It was enslaved and has been bound within for at least twenty millennia. And yes, it does predate Changelings. Whatever the case may be, treat the drake with respect.
The last fool whom attempted to order it about received quite serious burns. She does not leave her marension anymore. Serves her right....
The Vulchon Seal is at least eight thousand years old, though perhaps more. I do not know of any others, however, the few details regarding Sumarean history are known solely from dealings with Saddle Arabians. As contact was cut off two years prior, we are unable to perform a full assessmarent, thus I caution attempting to evoke and invoke it.
We do know there is, at minimum, one living entity contained within. Not bound. I have numerous blood mages, one Druid, and three Necromarecers in my entourage, they have been unable to determine what it is. Perhaps a Grandmaster Psion, Mystic, or Sorceror would be able to divine better than we."
>Sending each to the Floatblade's storage, a medium sized kanpri is presented for your plate, the mare's snout twitching in through. "While I do have access to a number of trade notices, it is much too late to request their updated versions. Cairn Wharf, Whitewing Dealers, and Blackout Hall always close before 8AM. Batponies and their endless naps."
>Eyes rolling in that particularly amusing marener, she tips her head to the other side, then sniffs politely while regarding you with raised eyebrows."Unfortunately, I only have one servant and Mareguard contract available. If you have a certain preference, deliver a letter to me and I shall make a full search.
First is an Imperial Crystal filly, ten years of age. Incredibly sweet, good singer, excellent grades, and has decent knowledge regarding the Empire as a whole. She greatly enjoys household tasks, especially cooking, baking, crystalwork, cleaning, and does not mind any others. Similarly, she adores being around those of close age, particularly fillies. You may not find a more snuggly servant than her.
She is not to serve as a Mareguard as she desires to learn Runeshaping, but will accompaneigh in all other mareners, especially trade and informal visits. As for matters which you would not, or may prefer not, to deal with, she is well trained, yet a bat inexperienced in formal social gatherings. She will not participate in subterfuge unless she accepst such is necessary, however.
Her contract is twenty thousand gems for one year. She is estranged from her dam and sire due to a difficult living situation and does not speak of it.
The other is a Lunar unicorn filly, twelve years of age. She is my cousin and holds clan name, thus is well taught in diplomacy, efficient tasking, and could be an excellent support companion. Logical, rational, and precise. No weaknesses save for common northern Lunar unicorn physiology and semi-frigid demarenor. She dislikes warm temperatures more than I do.
She seeks to become a true Elemental Mage of Frost, or perhaps Ice; high proficiency in both. She also has some alignmarent towards Fog, Mist, Ice, and a bit of Crystal as well. She possesses nine Grand spells, three of which she has not mastered yet. That is five more than most clan unicorns can boast of.
Her contract is forty thousand gems for one year. While there are few Elemental Mages left across Equestria, her grimoires are copies of the original Lunar Guardian ones, fully updated of course."
