[center][h2][color=9e3366]Xara Travendour[/color][/h2][/center] It would be many hours before Xara would be seen. After watching Kavius get chased around by a bunch of random girls, he decided to head back and tell one of the crew that he has the supplies for the boat upgrades. After that, he caught sight of the angry mob again. Having felt a little bad that he didn't save Kav earlier, he decided to do something about it. He hides behind a nearby building corner, and with a little bit of aiming and a wind check, Xara shoots a big fireball into the water nearby. The resulting reaction of the impact causes the fireball to explode and soak every single of the mobsters. They all shout in disarray and one even trips in panic and lands in the water. It took all of Xara's constitution to not laugh out loud and give away his location, all he could do is giggle endlessly. Not quite done with them yet, he watches as all of them disperse. He follows the first girl to a nearby stables. As she goes inside, he puts on his first act. [color=9e3366]"Crap crap cRAP! My wife is gonna kill me!"[/color] Being curious and self-righteous, confronts him about his issue, hoping to be the hero. [color=006666]"What's wrong sir?"[/color] She feigns concern. [color=9e3366]"I lost my wedding ring, and I swear I left it here!"[/color] Her eyes light up, she could use a new ring. [color=9e3366]"If you help me find it that'd be great!"[/color] She decides to go along with it. Xara proceeds to start digging around near where a horse drawn carriage is. She starts to dig around as well. [color=9e3366]"Do you see it yet?"[/color] [color=006666]"No, not really."[/color] She says with false innocence. Things quickly escalate as she crawls underneath the carriage to find the jewelry, and suddenly she feels her leg go cold. She turns to see... Her leg is frozen to the bottom of the cart! She wonders in confusion as Xara quickly goes to the opposite side. [color=006666]"Hey, what are you doing?!"[/color] Xara grabs her arms and freezes them as well, kneeling down to see her short blond hair getting dirty, an unrivaled scowl on her face. He snaps back, [color=9e3366]"Next time, don't accuse people of harassment for no reason."[/color] She quickly realizes what he means, and can only yell angrily as Xara goes to the back of the cart, and kicks the block, causing it to slowly start rolling down the hill, it starts going faster, and faster, and Xara sadistically watches as the cart starts rocketing down the hill and into a pile of manure below. He glimpses her fate as he makes his escape. He continues his search, he sees the most athletic girl of their little posse, all alone doing her stretches. and he quickly goes inside a store and spends a little bit of gold on measuring supplies, like a rope and a compass. As she's doing her exercises, Xara proceeds to act frustrated and annoyed, pacing back and forth with the objects. He makes a bunch of squares around a tree, pretending he's doing something important. He eventually comes up to the girl. [color=9e3366]"Excuse me, can you help me? I'm a surveyor, and I need to know how tall that tree is, but my hired help didn't arrive. Would you be willing to fill in? I just need someone to climb the branches real fast. I'm willing to pay you."[/color] [color=00e9e9]"Uh... Sure?"[/color] She's a little suspicious of this guy, but this is her favorite spot to work out and she hates anyone being nearby, hopefully this will get rid of him. She climbs the tree with rope in hand, showing off a bit, might as well have fun, right? [color=9e3366]"Ok, right there."[/color] She has her back to him as she reaches about halfway up the tree. Suddenly, she feels something hit her from behind, she catch the tree, trying to save herself. She looks down to see her entire torso and her long brunette pgtails are frozen to the tree. [color=00e9e9]"What the!? Hey! You'll pay for this!"[/color] [color=9e3366]"I bet that's what you said to that guy you tried to mob too."[/color] She can only growl as Xara runs for it, taking the rope with him, it'd be a waste otherwise. His next victim would be going to an outhouse in a remote campsite. She sits on the toilet, thinking about her day. It was so rude of Gary to talk to Maddie like that, if only she had the confidence to confront him. As she daydreams and plays with her long ginger hair, Xara runs up and freezes the door on her. She recognizes the spell chant and tries to open the door, but it's now jammed, and her panicking doesn't help. As she realizes what the heck happened and starts to cry, he swaps the woman's and men's signs on the outhouses, hoping someone will come by and discover her in the supposedly wrong bathroom. [color=9e3366]"The guy who you chased today, sends his regards."[/color] He walks away, skipping happily a bit. After many other misadventures, it's nearly sundown by the time Xara is back. He looks a little beat up from the battle with Kav, as well as some [i]other[/i] things. Tedreus soon hears rumors of woman being frozen to various ridiculous places, including to the branches of trees, in men's bathrooms, and even underneath a horse carriage. He wonders what kind of madman would do such a ridiculous crime, but he quickly connects the dots, and he stops Xara when he tries to get on the boat. [color=e90000]"Hold it right there! Do you have anything to do with the mysterious pranks happening to a bunch of woman? Don't lie to me."[/color] [color=9e3366]"Yah, I did."[/color] Tedreus is flabberghasted by this confession, he atleast expected some banter, he always wanted to go full Felix Ryte, a legendary lawman of Faroth-En. [color=e90000]"But- why?"[/color] [color=9e3366]"They accused an innocent of being sexually inappropriate, they deserved the embarrassment."[/color] [color=e90000]"How in Siren's name did you get them in trees and shit?"[/color] [color=9e3366]"You'd be surprised what woman will do if you ask carefully. The carriage girl? I asked her to help me find my wedding ring. The tree girl? I pretended to be a surveyor and that my hired help didn't show."[/color] [color=e90000]"Well I'll be-"[/color] [color=9e3366]"Now, to be fair, I did bring you parts. Surely you can let this slide, after all, surely you've probably been accused of worse."[/color] [color=e90000]"Haughty words, but you impress me with your accuracy. I wasn't gonna say anything regardless, you really know how to work favors, don't ye?"[/color] [color=9e3366]"Apparently."[/color] Xara proceeds inside the boat, feeling smugger than ever.
