"I wonder if I'll be able to seal them."

Permalink

"If you're scary enough, maybe. You aren't up against very complex opponents."

Permalink

"I'll see what I can do."

Permalink

"Are you going to need to stay here in the meantime? You're welcome to, if you need to avoid anyone spotting two of you."

Permalink

"Well I can remain in a different face for a bit but yeah I would still be thankful for a place to sleep."

Permalink

"Oh, of course. 

It'll give you a chance to try to sell some powerful Others on the idea of money, too."

Permalink

"'Some powerful Others'?"

Permalink

"There are a lot of those here. Some might be more receptive to the idea than others."

Permalink

She grins. "Alright. I think I'm gonna go lay down my trap and find that goblin first, though. Do you know where I could find a net?"

Permalink

"Hardware store? It's not exactly what you're looking for, but some people use nets to keep out birds or deer.

I could conjure one but there's no guarantee it'd keep existing when you leave my demesne."

Permalink

"Yeah, Hardware store sounds good enough, thank you. I'll go take care of that."

Permalink

Nod. "Good luck. The pests aren't going to know what hit them, are they."

Permalink

She smirks. "They're not."

Before anything, she goes to the hardware store and acquires a net. Then she returns to the spot with the Charybdis and scouts the area.

Permalink

It looks like it's supposed to. No one watching, with the possible exception of her very distracted past self, and she can make out where the fight's audience was/will be watching from. (That location is most everywhere; she was pretty surrounded before. But at least it's identifiably most everywhere.)

Permalink

Her past self isn't around right now. Good. She got a large enough net for "most everywhere" in the clearing and starts setting it up.

Permalink

She won't be able to get a single contiguous net around the entire crowd; some of them will be opposite the monster from others. But she really only needs enough to convince the remainder not to swarm her.

Permalink

Sure, that works. After it's all set up she starts covering it in a thin layer of blood to disguise it.

Permalink

Glamour has a tendency to fade into mundanity if left alone. She'll have to keep the net in mind so she doesn't come back to find it turned into ordinary ground while she wasn't looking.

But the disguise certainly works.

Permalink

Yup. She'll check it again later, before the showdown.

Now where the heck is she going to find a goblin? Perhaps there's open sewers somewhere, or a dumpster.

Permalink

She doesn't know how much they tend to move around. But she does know the direction they came from two days from now, and that might get her close enough to follow her nose. Unfortunately.

Permalink

Delightful.

She returns to her old face, confident no human will come here, and strides confidently forward.

Permalink

Goblins are not very noticeable. The median goblin is smaller than knee-high on a human, plus they blend in. If there are any they aren't obvious. Until an improbable glob of mud splats down from above. That's probably one of them.

Permalink

"I'm here to challenge your leader," she declares, dodging the glob.

Permalink

High-pitched jeering.

But it's high-pitched jeering leading in a particular direction, if she can manage to follow while they move through tree branches.

Permalink

Yeah she can her body got super cool after she made it her implement.
