(IC) Nodnol: The Story Begins
Percy was quiet and soft-footed even for a bookworm. Once everyone had a look about and got a sniff at whatever they wanted to investigate Percy pulled out a crest knife of the Mesmer family. With it he bent low and removed the hand of the hag quickly and deftly.
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sirs
All on a midsummer's morn
Surely we'll sing of no little thing
In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn
He was quietly singing as he worked. He let go of the hag's hand letting it spin in the air between his hands.
Yew that is old, in churchyard mould, he breedeth a mighty bow
Alder for shoes do wise men choose, and Beech for cups also
But when you have killed
And your bowl it is filled, and your shoes are clean outworn
Back you must speed for all that you need to Oak, and Ash, and Thorn
Salt was pulled from the air and ground as a vapor that begun to resurface the hand of the hag. From his side bag he pulled out a jar used to contain large alchemical components.
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sirs
All on a midsummer's morn
Surely we'll sing of no little thing
In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn
Sing Oak, and Ash, and Thorn, good sirs
All on a midsummer's morn
Surely we'll sing of no little thing
In Oak, and Ash, and Thorn
Once the Hag's hand was salted to extract moisture, contained, and protected he stowed it away for later proof of the kill and to likely see if there was something to be made. Monster parts turned into grand objects in folklore after all. He was a Mesmer through and through, balls to bone, so superstition was in his blood and you give back to what you take of a Fey. As distantly related hags are to Fey they are still related and it hurt no one to give a quiet little song.
With the extraction done he twisted his fingers again to give his eyes the ability to see magic and gave another look to see if he couldn't back Ralgar up with some kind of information. There was also a dancing lights spell on offer if he Ralgar needed light.
Excessive use of prestidigitation
