Re: The Good Daughter (SirOni and xgkf)
Upon arriving at her destination, Vanilla wasted no time looking around for her customer, having a much more difficult time finding him than she’d expected before she finally did, spotting him seated alone in a corner having a drink and seemingly lost in his thoughts. His mood brightened considerably when he saw the catgirl walking up to him with a smile on her face and a gleeful hello, happily accepting his offer to come sit across from him at his table. “Hm-hm-hm~ Was I ever~!” she began in response to his question regarding her success before reaching into her pack and retrieving not only the big prize of the spider queen’s venom sack, but just a few shy of a dozen of that of the smaller venom glands and setting the jarred specimens on the table before him, leaving the man looking absolutely overjoyed at the sight of them all.
It was then Vanilla’s turn to react as Mr. Alvarien took stock and recounted the price that he had offered to pay her for the venom glands, her eyes widening slightly at the final total of five-hundred and sixty, and then further lighting up like freshly polished coins as the man produced said payment, leaving more than five full bags laid out on the table before her. The young mage had never seen so much money all at once, an amount that the bar itself likely didn’t see exchange hands in a month’s time...and it was all hers. “Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!” she exclaimed as she rose from her seat and practically bounced around the table to hug the man, her tail swishing back-and-forth behind her and further accentuating her excitement. “Wonderful doing business with you~!” Vanilla said then after pulling back and moving to collect her payment, taking the coin purses from the table and putting them into her pack.
Just as she was about to thank the man one last time, however, a loud, booming noise sounded from a little ways off, startling the young mage and causing her to jump and look around the inn in confusion. “W-What the heck was that?!” Vanilla exclaimed.
“It sounded like an explosion,” Parvani said simply, causing his master to look up at him in surprise.
“An explosion? But it...it sounded like it came from near my shop!” she added, suddenly filled with worry for both her home and for Lani, whom she realized was likely still waiting there for her to return. It was then that she heard the sounds of yelling and gunfire crackling from outside, much more close by than the explosion had been, causing her to flinch and instinctively drop down to the floor to protect herself “Wha...What’s going on?!” the catgirl stammered, frightened somewhat by the suddenly chaotic atmosphere.
“...The bandits...” the staff said after a moment, earning a quizzical look from Vanilla. “Remember the contract Lani mentioned to deal with the bandit camp nearby? I could be wrong, but it sounds like they struck first.”
Vanilla’s eyes widened slightly at her staff’s words. The notion certainly made sense to the young mage, but there was no comfort in knowing that Chander could be under attack by a group of bandits, especially when it sounded like people could already be getting hurt by the horrible men. “We...We have to do something! We should go find Lani and the Sheriff!” she said, scrambling back to her feet before beginning to channel a large amount of energy, materializing it similarly to the way she had in the mine the day before and conjuring forth a powerful Elemental, only this time of one from the earth itself.

RP:
- Casting Call Earth Elemental [Lvl. 5/Summon/Nature](This creature gets the Hard Hitter, Skill with Unarmed, and Battle Hardened Talents, and the Damage Reduction ½ Special Mutation.)
- Using Empower Spell to treat it as if it were Level 8.
- The Elemental gains additional +4 Body per spell level from Druidic Secrets, as well as +2 Body and +1 AV per spell level from Focus in [Nature].
EP cost is 16 (8+8).
I am not entirely certain on the...logistics concerning an Earth Elemental (particularly when it comes to size), so if it would be too big and lumbering to be summoned inside the inn (meaning it would cause a bunch of damage to stuff or wouldn’t fit through the door) or if it can't actually be summoned inside 'cause no direct contact with the earth, I suppose just have her summon it outside.
Also, if possible fluff-wise, I would like to customize its appearance to be loosely that of Vanilla herself. So basically something like a 6 or 7-foot tall statue-like version of Vanilla. If not, though, no big deal.
