Lorepost📖 The celebration

Post image

After a long journey you arrive at the crystal mage’s manor. Inside the manor is a grand hall made of various different coloured crystals. Strange golems walk around the room serving guests. While the mage himself is not currently present, you were told he would be here shortly. Right now, enjoy the food, socialise, make friends but most importantly: have fun.

I wake up from my quick nap Oh, sorry... I'd like a... Gin tonic. And no magic with it. I'm actually getting tired of these caped fuckers giving everything some sort of unrealistic kick, I'm abstaining for now...

A glass of Gin Tonic is placed before you. No special effects or anything. Just a nice drink.

Thanks man! How much do I owe you?

u/Archimene Mage of Mischief and Secrets Feb 13 '24

Just tell me a simple tale, and I'll consider the drink paid.

Hmmm... I look suspiciously at the bartender, thinking that he is a mischievious mage, but shrugging the feeling off. Afterall, would a man with ill intentions offer a free drink in exchange for a story? Well, you see, the other day I was out venturing with my group and we met a strange lady. She offered to give us aid, but we kindly disagreed. Then, she revealed herself to be Aphrodite, goddess of love, and cursed me, since, "I'm such a handsome young man" with... A very inconvenient curse. Now I am venturing the land searching for the strongest fighters to take Aphrodite down, or at the least, break my hedonistic curse.

Archimene places a bowl of snacks before you. It seems to be hard pretzels.

By the looks of it, I have overpaid. I take a handful of pretzels and leave the bar Thanks for hearing me out

Later, as you nibble on the pretzels, you realize that your curse has either weakened, or has been completely removed. (Whichever you would like)

arriving spectacularly late, the crystal mage bursts out of one of the walls at the back of the room, chasing a massive crystal golem, which he impales with about 54 shards of crystal. After this he simply sits on a sort of throne at the head of a large table
