[First, handle yesterday's stuff, which given the misunderstanding is now quite short! XD]
[Gauronne casts Siphon; no Vampiric Effect]
Gauronne absorbs the magic from the lycanthropic blood, and he feels a sort of arcane vitality course through him.
[Cubist: Ah, OK.]
Gauronne - and let's face it, everyone - would probably know that dancing around, writhing in the blood is probably a good way to catch lycanthropy and possibly other assorted nastiness. Contact with the blood, particularly for the wounded, should be kept to a minimum. Care should be taken with any blood exposed to weaponry, as accidental cutting could lead to becoming a wererat.
On a more arcane level, burning or boiling the blood or zapping it with electricity would be bad; in a similar way that aerosolization is bad. Freezing may be a good idea, but care will have to be taken that it doesn't shatter. Standard medical procedure - rubber gloves, face masks, etc. - may also be a good idea. Handling it with magic should be okay, at least with the lower level spells.
Kit and Sarah have a conversation about the former's amnesia and the latter's brother. Mephis plays with his sword in the disenchanted blood; the red discoloration at the point slowly gives way to silvery-gray as tiny ruby droplets fall to the ground, causing ripples in the blood pool, which slowly grows as the blood continues to drain from the body.
[As for grate-prodding, the grate is too high up the wall to reach. Also, the extra blood draining from the body is included in the Siphon spell, so everything in the pools of blood is non-lycanthropic now.]

Kit returns to reading his book, while he waits for whatever to come next.
ReplyDelete*walk a bit more, along the wall, trying to see a bit more, searching anything strange on the place, walking slowly, taking care about any monster*
ReplyDeleteGauronne did not actually cast the Siphon spell until after he was confident that he could acquire MP from the 'thrope blood without also acquiring the 'thrope curse along with it. It remains to be seen whether or not that confidence is justified, of course...
ReplyDeleteAnywho, more note-taking for our beloved academic. And since the Siphon spell seems to have "toppped off" Gauronne's "fuel tank", he will cast Probe so's he can find out what's on the other side of that too-high grating.
