Oh Jesus...

@Lord Zee

Hey, it's a Traditional Fantasy RP in a Faraway Land. We can do cliches. ;)

I agree. That method of breaking the curse could bring down the ban hammer if done wrong. On top of that, Vert has eaten a lot of people. So unless Devourers gestate faster than humans, I highly doubt she'll break the curse and finish her subplot before the end of this RP that way.

@rush99999

How about we simplify it to True Love's Kiss?

The Faraway Land

wtf!?!?

Oh great.... do slimes multiply?

@Cuccoruler

Asexually, yes.

@Thinslayer

Seriously?

@rush99999

I was winging it. My reasoning was based on the principle that in order to break a curse, one must do its opposite. Vert is cursed to eat people by consuming them through her belly. The opposite is to give life to people through her belly. That's basically the definition of childbirth.

That said, I'm not keen on having any improper relations in this RP, so we'll have to think of another way to break the curse.

The Storyteller looked up from his book and stared at Sadron like he'd just said something completely insane. This was because (In The Storyteller's opinion.) Sadron had indeed said something completely insane. After a moment, The Storyteller chuckled. "When any form of jesting is performed by the High Council, Arandur is usually the 1 to do so" he said "I never believed you capable of such a thing, Sadron. Honestly, breaking a curse by breeding like a rabbit. That's the most preposterous thing I've ever heard!". But then, after a few moments of Sadron's face displaying no form of indication that he was indeed jesting, The Storyteller stopped smiling. "Jaeper's hat bells" The Storyteller said "You aren't jesting, are you? You're being serious!".

Sadron nodded. "The Warlock's curse was quite ingenius, really. I knew he had a breeding program to produce as many orcs as he does, but I didn't know how he was doing it. Now I think we know how. He curses fertile women so they are compelled to eat their fellow creatures. The more they eat, the more children they must spawn to break the curse. But no ordinary male would have them for a mate, so they have no choice but to return to the orcs, who have fewer compunctions. And if the women kill themselves instead, the Warlock still wins - they've killed and terrorized his enemies. It's a clever and terrifying scheme."

"'It' has a name you know. It's Vert, I know I've done terrible things. I don't care if you have no sympathy for me. I deserve no sympathy honestly."

Vert looked at the others while rubbing her wrists. "I don't plan on crossing any of you. After today, I won't be able to hurt any of you as I had before. In fact I'll be doing the opposite after this." Vert said to them with a look of determination in her eyes.

Vert then turned her gaze towards the one known as Sadron. "Do you have any idea on helping me get rid of the curse?" Vert asked as she looked at the high elf. He had been staring at her all night and she figured now would be as good of time as any to ask him about getting rid of this curse of hers.

@Cuccoruler

Sadron leaned heavily on his staff, still staring at her. "You could kill yourself, I suppose," he said eventually. "but I expect you want a solution that doesn't involve your death, or you wouldn't be asking. What ails you is either a partial transformation spell or a transformation curse. Transformation spells are permanent, but almost impossible to obtain. Curses, on the other hand, are cheap in terms of effort and mana, but they are always conditional and can be reversed. If we assume for the moment that your condition is a curse, then we can begin to guess at the break conditions."

He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then one eyebrow lifted, a hint of amusement. "The operation of your curse bears a striking contrast to certain aspects of reproduction. You kill people by consuming them into your belly. I'd bet anything that your curse would be broken if you gave life from your belly to as many children as people you ate, plus one for the curse itself."

@Thinslayer

Did you notice that Vert asked Sadron a question?

@rush99999

Nope. Gonna read it now.

The clerk meandered to the back and disappeared for a few minutes. He returned with financial ledger 5.2.10. "Is this the document?"

A perusal of the ledger revealed the purchase of travel supplies, including horse rental, elven rations, travel clothes, and weapons in the name of Aphaderuiondur. The associated memos hinted at travel plans, which involved, among other things, passing through the southern mountain pass into Fellmore. There was another horse rental a few days later by someone with the same last name. Several tax income receipts and law enforcement expenditures followed.

The next page documented funeral arrangements. The memo said, "In memory of Lady Sadronniel Aphaderuiondur." Funeral clothing was purchased for Sadron Aphaderuiondur, Arandur Nostarion, Erudessa Durvain, and Druth Vanarys.
