Interim Activities

Once the Shadow had returned with her map, and enough copies for everyone else, Myra bowed out and returned to Ming's apartment above the shops. She found herself left with hardly an hour before the day started, so she brewed a potent kettle of tea and got an early start on her day

By the time the armor is finished, Courtney is in awe of Metody's craft, not to mention his generosity. She's seen golems of wood and bone, and even one of her beloved house goblins, Boniface, wears a skull-like visage, but she's never seen anything quite like Herlinde. She didn't expect the armor to be so...alive. After letting it creep into place around her, she spends a few minutes asking Metody if it's really okay for her to wear it, stroking the planes of bone and enamel carefully. It's safe to say she's grateful for the gift.

She is far from idle herself, however. She creeps out of the house late at night and sets up a ritual circle on the blacktop of the local playground (anything she does in the house is prone to notice by her uncle, even in his weakened state). There she practices spell after spell, mixing potions and forcing enchantments into small, breakable objects for Metody's creatures to carry. After a few days of this, she's sleep-deprived but satisfied: she has a dozen glamours and four powerful incendiary spells.

She takes some time to speak to a friend on the day before the event is to occur, but her parents and her uncle remain in the dark. The day in question finds her reading up on sustaining multiple shielding spells. She's determined to make it a learning experience.
