Fleeing Again

"Boarchiel... I like that," Muma states as, she, Cherchiel and Yulia begin to flee back towards Faidhalm,

"Unfortunately... 'Boarchiel' is very much uncertain whether she could go toe to toe with this thing, even with my enhanced strength, maybe with an energize, but I think it's better if we get a weapon first," Cherchiel answers as the three retreat, mercifully before Lumberer was able to fully spot them. They return to Faidhalm and find it's been once again hidden by the trees,

"they must have felt Lumberer close by and have hidden for the moment," we can still go see the blacksmith though, in fact it's probably better since we'll be hidden inside, in case Lumberer comes this way," Muma explains and Yulia and Cherchiel agree and head to the blacksmith.

Once inside the three sit down, Yulia and Cherchiel on the floor of the hut, Muma on Yulia's head, "Okay... so we're safe for now..." Yulia states, "so, let's think about stuff a bit more,"

"Yeah... the voices had some questions we can possibly answer," Muma agrees.

"I think the corruption the elder mentioned is the same as the influence the hunter's mentioned, it's caused by the presence of The Beast apparently," Yulia explains.

"Yeah... The idea of talking to the corrupted elf, to see if he did anything specific to get himself so much more corrupted than the others, might be a good idea though," Muma adds.

"As for... 'Boarchiel' I think I can manage to rein in my urges, I mean it's an overwhelming desire to fuck, eat or fight, if I have something to satisfy the fight or eat, urge I can probably avoid attacking Yulia, no promises, but I'm pretty sure... also I might have overstated my strength as 'Boarchiel' a bit... I don't think I'm quite as strong as I used to be, but I'm definitely much stronger, I think it just generally gives me the effect of like..." she hesitates and looks at Yulia, "I think it's like taking one of those adrenaline shots Yulia uses. It's just a sudden rush of energy that makes you stronger, faster, more resistant to pain... I'm pretty sure I would gladly use a weapon in that form, while my thoughts become more bestial, I don't become stupid... I can still recognize the benefit of a weapon," Cherchiel explains.

The blacksmith suddenly let's out a relieved sigh, he'd been decidedly quiet during their conversations and only now seems to notice the three women are here, "Oh... Did you three just wait here the whole time?" he asks looking apologetic before handing over a wooden spear with a sharp bone tip, the weapon looks extremely primitive, but should be effective, assuming the opponent isn't armored.

Cherchiel takes the spear and looks it over, "alright, Yulia. I have a weapon now, we have a lot of options, go deal with the goblins, go deal with the beast, go talk to the pervert elf, see if we can't find and deal with Lumberer or just see if we can explore that flower in the green lit area without any interruptions this time?" she suggests.

Yulia nods, "I have difficulty believing that spear will be too useful against Lumberer, but who knows,"

"What was that? Are you doubting my craftmanship?" The blacksmith suddenly asks, sounding angry, Yulia gasps and starts to backpedal before he interrupts her, "well you're right to do so in this case and only this case, as I've said, bone is extremely finicky to work with and while the spear is perfectly fine for killing small animals, it would very possibly break if used against anything too big, against Lumberer... It probably won't even pierce..." he says with an apologetic sigh.

"Oh... Well... That's... good to know," Yulia responds and Cherchiel looks down at the spear a bit nervously now.
