[QUOTE="Mewness, post: 5841754, member: 14889"] The group travels back to camp with the two surviving chicks. Unfortunately, by the time they arrive, Imidoto is in a bad way--her injury had seemed minor, as Kane's magic absorbed most of the blow, but she is nevertheless in some distress: her breathing is shallow and her eyes are looking a little glazed. Dartmoor tries to take a look at her, but, as before, she so violently resists the touch of anyone except Noriaki that he fears she might hurt herself further. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"Hmm,"[/COLOR] says Dartmoor. He turns to one of his Irregulars. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"Fetch me a bottle of Emphidrin's Calming Syrup. One drop ought to do the trick."[/COLOR] The bottle is promptly fetched, and one of the piskies lets a drop fall into Imidoto's beak as Noriaki holds her. The effect is immediate. Imidoto's eyes become wide and clear. She flaps her wings vigorously, pushing away from Noriaki so forcefully that she flings herself into a tree and falls to the ground. Undeterred, she jumps up again, squawking, and begins to run, still flapping, her body growing visibly larger and her wings extending out straight, until she takes off and flies up, over the campsite, circling a couple of times before landing clumsily on Noriaki's shoulder. In less than a minute she has grown to one-and-a-half times her original size, with a wingspan twice as long. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"Idiot!"[/COLOR] shouts Dartmoor. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"I said Emphidrin's Calming Syrup, not Zazabarro's Vigorous Growth Tonic!"[/COLOR] The piskies peer at the label on the bottle. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"I could have sworn--"[/COLOR] one mutters. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]"It doesn't seem to have hurt her,"[/COLOR] says Sasha brightly. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]"Maybe we could try it on the other young one, too."[/COLOR] Dartmoor's anger instantly melts away. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"I'm afraid it's really not safe,"[/COLOR] he says. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"It doesn't appear to have done any harm this time, but you must realize that the results are very unpredictable."[/COLOR] [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"My cousin had some once,"[/COLOR] says one of the grigs. [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]"His hands grew so big he could no longer lift his arms!"[/COLOR] The Irregulars start discussing the effects of Zazabarro's Vigorous Growth Tonic with great animation and quickly lose interest in the chicks. [GM]Still need surges spent for Takahaan and Noriaki, both of whom got fairly beat up (see final status, above). What to do next? GROMkill suggested exploring down the west coast some more. That sound good? Who (if anyone) will you take with you? Sasha will stay in the camp with her chick.[/GM] [/QUOTE]
