First merchant I saw at this FWI festival was doing toys, so I decided to get work done on a hand-puppet.. which quickly became 2 altered, unlocked, and custom zested hand-puppets. Hooray for puppets?
a rakish Faendryl bard hand-puppet wearing a jaunty hat
custom 2 zests:
Japhrimel raises his Faendryl bard hand-puppet in front of his face. A squeaky voice shouting, "More ale!" emanates from the vicinity of hand-puppet's mouth.
>
Japhrimel pinches a rakish Faendryl bard hand-puppet wearing a jaunty hat and it bows deeply, sweeping its hat off with a flourish before straightening up and wearing the hat once more.
a red-haired sylvan empath hand-puppet wearing a flowing green gown
custom 2 zests:
Japhrimel prods his sylvan empath hand-puppet and it glances around with a disapproving look on its face.
>
Japhrimel's sylvan empath hand-puppet leans forward into a deep curtsy before straightening back up and smoothing its gown.
Japhrimel takes his black branding iron and jabs the superheated metal into your open wound. You let out a scream as the hot iron sizzles against your flesh, which begins to smoke and burn. The sensation sets your nerves aflame with blinding white agony, but somehow you manage to retain consciousness through the excruciating procedure. At last, the wound is blackened and sealed, but the pain is slow to recede.
...unfortunately, your heart gives out a moment later.
