Re: Wednesday, Noon
"Just so you know, a deflecting spell is good at far range for most weapons, and close range for assaults, though effectiveness decreases as attack strength increases. It's fine for walking out and about, but I wouldn't depend on the tattoo alone in a battle."
Syd nodded as Maria chose the design and then tilted her head back as she thoughtfully looked up at the ceiling. She mentally went over a list of possible payments, which included items and treasures that God and Satan had happened to place in the realm. There were hidden things nearly impossible to find, and other things almost handily available. This price needed to fall somewhere in-between.
The crown in the design gave her an idea...
"Somewhere around the Luminous Lake, towards the northern edge of Deadwood Forest, Persephone's Iron Crown lies underneath the boughs of a Yew Tree. For the price of the tattoo, in colors of your choice, with the deflecting spell, you'll need to retrieve that crown. You'd have until the sixteenth of February to bring it here, if you make the deal today." Sydonai couldn't give Maria a mission less difficult than that, but it could've easily been worse.
