🗡 Nudibranching out

[The call has gone out for adventurers to cull man-eating (or rather, naga-eating) nudibranchs, which as far as Barbara can tell, are an oceanic form of the terrestrial slugs she's familiar with. She doesn't know how to swim, but once she's confident that this underwater breathing potion of the naga works, she's got no objections.

So, one hour of breathing, a spear, and elemental magic which she hasn't yet tried in an aquatic environment. Does anyone want to join her?]

Training grounds

[The training grounds are a good bet for finding Barbara. She's gotten more proficient with her elementatal magic over the course of the month, thanks to the single-minded sense of discipline that allowed her to learn the Dragoon's art despite not having any human mentor.

This time she's not practicing her Jump, but instead trying to relearn the dragonbreath spells she used to know--they were all elemental, which is why she is attempting to breathe lightning, fire, or ice from her mouth. So far her result are mixed. She's getting her arms covered in sparks (which is why she's switched to padded cotton clothes, rather than her usual armor) and the ground around her that isn't covered in scorch marks is frosted over. Also, her water bottle turned into ice and burst.

Or maybe you'll find her moogle familiar, who's gotten bored with watching her trying to breathe fire out of her mouth. He is busy with a notebook and pencil--it looks like he's writing out a list of something, muttering, and then shaking his head a lot.]

Baby dragons

[It's not that Barbara is a nature girl, but knowing what this island of Avalon is and what lives here is essential to surviving here. That's why she spends a not-insignificant portion of her time exploring the parts of the island that haven't been populated by humans.

And today she has found... dragons.

Little baby dragons, flapping and tumbling in the flowers. At first, Barbara keeps a respectful distance--in her experience, dragons do not like their offspring being andled by anyone without strict permission--but as time passes, it seems that there aren't any parents. Just dragonets, playing in the field.]

Odd...

[Well. She's got some cold meat from something she hunted yesterday. Might as well crouch down and see if the baby dragons like it, right?]

Elemental magic. Lightning. Hurt water beasts.

[At least that's how it works in Luxendarc. But even if isn't the Achilles' heel here as it is at home, it should still do a good job at making them hurt.]

Lure creatures... need bait. [hmm...] Fish, seaweed?

[standvastig]

Lightning sounds like an excellent option against these creatures.

[Well. As long as they aren't wet and standing right next to them when the magic flies.]

I have green magic. I should be able to coax the underwater plants into wrapping around the creatures so we can pull them closer to shore.

[That still doesn't answer the question about bait...]

They are flesh-eaters, so we could use fish or an animal carcass. ...Or ourselves.

[He's not fond of that last option, but he has to put it out there.]

[dragongrrl]

[Barbara doesn't look very approving of that last suggestion. Under certain circumstances, she has absolutely no problem with striding full-force into a situation that she knows will result in her being hurt. But that is reserved for particular individuals, and as much as she genuinely wants to help the naga, she doesn't know them well enough for that.]

Fish better. Ask Naga, maybe give. [They are, after all, here at the village's behest, and living underwater.] Green magic good. Quick.

[standvastig]

Ah, I did not think about recruiting the villagers' aid with that. It is a fine thought.

[He considers the water before looking at Barbara. He appreciates her seriousness with the unknown risks of these creatures. It at least isn't dark out yet, so...]

The one who gave you the potion could not be far off yet. We can ask for their assistance for fish and work from there. Will you take that task?

[His eyes return to the water.]

I will check the shore for a section with suitable plant life. We should return to this spot before sunset to prepare.

[dragongrrl]

[Barbara nods, and then, with that plan established, turns to go and talk to the naga about giving them some fish. Fortunately, they're quite willing to hand over some of the day's catch if it will help them deal with the nudibranch problem.

Barbara returns at the appointed time with a decent-sized basket of it.]

Naga give fish.
