NPC Interaction: Gwion

[isleofnpcs]

🧙 WHO: Gwion and interested parties
⚔️️ WHAT: Gwion just sent out a text message warning of trouble for King Arthur's party
🕒 WHEN: July 23rd (forward dated)
🗺️ WHERE: A bar in Celliwig
⚠️ WARNINGS: Alcohol

[ Anyone who comes seeking Gwion will find her at the bar... Frustratedly challenging other Celliwig barhoppers to arm wrestling. She's doing pretty good, and it's distracting her from not knowing whether or not anyone's actually going to show up to help. She definitely can't get past a legendary guardian('s great great grandchild) on her own. ]

If you save the day, you get to brag about being a hero for at least a week. It's a surefire pass to getting people to buy you drinks afterward, too.

[ People love buying drinks for heroes after a big save, after all. ]

Is that right?

[ way to motivate a guy. ]

Ya got my full attention, but what makes ya so sure yer savin' the day? How come yer here waitin' for what turns up? Threats to the guy on top usually light a fire under people.

The big bad used Excalibur's magic to destroy the multiverse. The only person who's supposed to ever wield that blade is King Arthur. Even if we get it back, if it ends up in the wrong hands again? Out of the oil and into the fire. Saving the one guy who's not going to cause mayhem with it seems like the way to go, but I can't get past Glewlwyd on my own.

[ as izō parses what she's saying his expression becomes that of someone who has suffered in the past trying to sort out a who's who of people with the same name or the same face and has just realising he may once again have ended up in hell a place where that can happen. ]

... More'n one King Arthur. Got it. But yeah, ya ain't wrong. Be stupid not to cover yer ass.

[ not that he's all in just like that. that'd just be irresponsible. ]

Where ya gettin' yer information? Magic's what the types 'round here are s'posed to be good at, yeah? Ain't a great look if somebody's hidin' somethin'.

Gwion is my birth name. The name most people know me by is Taliesin. They screwed it all up in the books, said I was a man because god forbid a woman be that talented and a hero and a prophet but not be an awful witch in English lit-- [ She digresses though. back on topic. ] Anyway, if you haven't heard the name Taliesin, I'm known for both poetry and prophesy but they missed the part that I'm also the first seer. A witch tricked me into stirring her cauldron for her, but it wasn't a Potion of Inspiration, it was the Cauldron that held the flow of time itself. I don't need a potion to be talented, I did spill some on me and see everything that ever is and ever was all in the blink of an eye and become the world's first seer. Precognition itself isn't working because we frozen time outside of Avalon, but I still get dreams of memories when certain events start to string together to lead to important happenings.
