Archer's Delivery

[Enzo]

Enzo sits at the spot he had given directions to the vendor, waiting for the crane-like vendor to arrive with the bow.

He wore the same outfit he had worn on their previous trip into the Hedge, black leather jacket, with dark grey hoodie, the hood up casting a shadow over his smiling face. His semi-baggy pants tucked into calf-high black boots. It a wierd, roundabout way, he might actually look pretty intimidating.

Intimidating indeed, he thought, as he patted Pazuzu on the neck. He sat atop the the massive hobb, the dragon-dactyl's scaled and horned form purring beneath him, waiting and anticipating the vendor. "Now remember, no attacking unless I say so. If something goes down, you can have your fun." He says, eyes glinting beneath his hood.

Pazuzu's long neck snakes up and down and a purr emanates from deep in her chest. The Hedge was relatively serene this day, far better than the last time Enzo entered to gather the goblin fruits and several minutes pass until any movement occurs.

At first, it is the sound of wings flapping followed by the sound of something heavy landing and a curse. Then, the crane-merchant reveals himself from around the corner wearing a fairly clean and decent suit, wings tucked on his back. Strapped around his shoulders is a large, tightly-bound package.

"Greetings, Mr. Enzo. Oh, what a marvelous creature," the merchant says about Pazuzu looking her over.

[BloodiedClaws]

"She is, isn't she." He says, smiling beneath his cowl. He doesn't dismount just yet, looking at the perimeter to ensure the merchant came alone. Once suitably satisfied, he slips off of Pazuzu, patting her roughly in the way she enjoyed. His hands were becoming rough from the wear and tear of her scales.

"I take it that is the bow I enquired about?" He asks, still smiling, albeit a small smile now.

The fae nods, long beak clicking once as he carefully slips the package from its strapping and holds it out for Enzo to take.

"Just like you ordered. It will grow to suit your needs."

[Enzo]

"How long does it take to shrink down and grow to full size? I will need to know, for future reference." Enzo asks, his smile shifting to an inquisitive look under the cowl of his hoodie.

[Forn Clakes]

The crane-fae seems to smile as he opens the package and carefully removes a small bonsai tree that isn't potted, roots dangling from its base and verdant green leaves at its peak.

"It requires the usual connection to Arcadia to become active and takes a few seconds but once grown, it is as reliable as any bow you can buy." He holds it out for Enzo to take and try.

[BloodiedClaws]

how does that link work mechanically? glamour, wyrd roll?

[Forn Clakes]

Its the standard roll to activate Tokens, which is either a Wyrd roll or invoking the Token's Catch.....which Enzo doesn't know yet :P

[Enzo]

Enzo's gonna opt out and spend a point Glamour as long as thats still allowed as normal for Tokens

Enzo wills forth a point of Glamour, a desire for fun and excitement flows from him, into the small bonzai tree. He waits to see what kind of bow it grows into, and if and how much he will like it.

[Forn Clakes]

My bad. Forgot about the Glamour option

As the Glamour flows into the tree, he can feel it pulse as if alive. Then, quite rapidly, the roots stretch towards the floor while the trunks stretches towards the sky, thinning out and taking the shape of the bow. The string itself is actually a single thin branch that links from the deepest root to the tallest branch.

When it is done, the crane-merchant looks on proudly.

"Is it as expected?"
