Beauclair?
Beauclair!
Artur was Escorted by his Personal Guard, the Red Stripes. A Unit modeled after Temeria's Blue Stripes, but with a few Differences. The Red Stripes were not just Spies or Guerilla Warfare Specialists, Artur had trained them himself in Techniques taught at the Witcher Schools of the Cat, Viper, and Manticore. So they were well-versed in the more Mobile, Agile, Elegant, and Flexible Fighting Styles of the Three Schools Techniques. They were the Elite of Redania's Elite.
Anyway Artur besides Being a Seasoned but young Warrior or a Shrewd but Charming Politician and Diplomat, it turned out he was also a Master Herbalist, Healer, and Alchemist. He had come up with numerous Concoctions, Oils, Ointments, Potions, and Bomb's. While not a True Witcher he had been subjected to the first Half of the Witcher's Trial of Grasses, meaning that only his Metabolism, Immunity, Life-****, Endurance, Resilience, Constitution, Agility, Perception, Speed Dexterity, Strength, and Focus were enhanced, but not at the cost of his Virility or Emotions. He wasn't a Witcher in the True Sense, but still carried a Griffin's Medallion with him everywhere, as well as A Sword made of Meteorite Steel by the Best of the Best of Mastercraftsmen Smiths, and a Similarly Made Sword of the Finest Silver by the Same Smith.
His body was able to take the Toxicity and strain of A Witcher's Potions, but not as well as someone who underwent the Trials in their Entirety. Meaning he needed to make each one count, and use one when it's needed. But as they Entered within insight of Beauclair Palace in the Distance Artur and His men Heard the Sounds of Battle! They then heard the Screech of a Monster, a Basilisk's judging by the Sound. So Without a second thought Artur and his Mean rushed to Intervene.
They Found what looked a mix of the Ducal Guards and Knights Errant in battle aginst a Group of Dead or **** Bandits and a Silver-Lime Basilisk, Subspecies of an already Known Subspecies of Basilisk, like a Silver Basilisk likely. Artur Knew his men would need time to Apply the Hybrid Oil to their Blades and Arrows so he Did what he did Best used Axii, Quen, Aard, and Yrden in quick Succession.
''Get back! Let the Red Stripes Handle this, we're trained to handle all manner of Post-Conjuction Beasts.'' Says Artur as the Rather Green Looking Guard Captain looks from the Beast to his Exhausted men, to Artur and the Red Stripes applying Hybrid Oil (and by green I mean both in experience and colour). ''You heard him Men! Fall Back Men! Fall Back!'' Says the Captain as the Wounded and Tired Knights Errant and Ducal Guards withdraw to Safe distance.
Artur Cast Yrden to Pin the Basilisk down, before using Axii to calm it he then Gently and Humanely killed it, ensing it's Life quickly and painlessly. Sticking a Hybrid Oiled Shortsword into Its eye and by extension, brain. He then Cast Quen around it so as to Protect its Body, before placing a Magical Talisman on its body protecting the Subspecies corpse from Decaying and Withering, for he wanted to perform a full and precise Autopsy to determine a few things. Thats when the Guard Captain reappeared.
