At least seventy years since the mysterious druid tried to trick a lich and failed, then. And long past the point of resurrection by means besides the archhealer. Which is a pity, she would have liked to give Clarabella some time to actually be alive with her sapience.

“Three hundred and sixty four.” Head tilt. This probably isn't relevant to her investigations, but she’s now curious. “A special event? Of what kind?”

"You Know, A Party! Eriape would Spend all her High Level Spells to Scry an Inn with Good Musicians and we would Sing Along! And there would be a Prize Draw! And then we would Sing the Anniversary Song! And all the Wizards would Use their Spells to Make a Better Party!"

"I... see. And. You all had fun?" That is better than the alternative but also much more bizarre. An undead badger party, headed by their wretched lich overlord that Awakened them to immediately shackle them in the horrors of undeath.

"Yes! It was the High Point of the Lair Calendar, other than Eriape's Ascension Day- For that All the Badgers put on a Play- and Armasse, when we have Feats of Badger Strength!"

"Feats of. Badger strength," repeats Voshrelka, still bemused.

"Yes! Long Jumping! and Speed Burrowing! And Crossbow! I am the Best at Crossbow!"

"Congratulations on your skill." This conversation is surreal and Voshrelka thinks she would like it to cease now. She's having feelings and she doesn't like it. "You mentioned a Badger Island?"

"Yes! Eriape Arranged an Idyll for Badgers! She found this Large Forested Island with Only these Peaceful Flightless Birds living there, and Imported Badgers! There are No Predators there except for the Badger! That's where her Supply of Badgers used to Come From!"

That would absolutely cause ecological collapse and very many of those flightless birds dying horribly. Why. Why would you do that. What about everyone else that lived on that island. Instead of picking a fight, the druid sighs. Not worth fussing over, especially since it sounds like this happened a century ago, but: sigh.

"Did she change recently, or is 'used to' in reference to how she has been captured?"

"In the Last Few Years, she has a New Secret Badger Arrangement! I cannot Tell you Of it, as it is a Secret!"

"Ah. Of course." Why stop with just one ecological disaster, when you could have many, some of which are secret for arbitrary lich reasons. Eugh. Not her forest, not her goblins. She has enough to do as is, and the lich is now handled. "Do you recall where you were Awakened? Was it in this lair, or somewhere else?"

"It was Here! What about You? You were Born I think! A Mortal!"
