gogtrial34987: "Admiral, Devin showed me how to detect cursed items wi' me dirk. Will that continue to work there, since it's tied to an item, or does it need more attachment? And the same for me flute and portable hole?"
...As such, he requests the admiral to simply reinforce his unobtrusive anthracite coat. Matching gloves would be welcome, too, though he isn't fussy about the color.
"Aye, your dirk will continue to work well, as will your flute and portable hole," Clíodhna replies. "It be things like spells not attached to scrolls, or magic not anchored in something.
Devin's lute and flute and other items anchor his bardic spells, Aeshma's potions will still work, as will anything she anchors to a gem, but you will see her starting to work with a wand or other items there, not just chanting her spells freely.
Gilius's pendant, staff, pet rock will all work, as will Crew's charms, weapons and items. But the magic in the Weirding Sea be a wild magic, harder to ease into control, easy to become twisted. It be the reason we have been securing the magic in the items already, so the magic won't become twisted once we cross into the Weirding Sea."
She arranges
to work on Grog'tial's current coat while he's sleeping and have it back to him in the morning, along with
a matching pair of goatskin gloves.
Captain Baldbeard is the next one who finds himself stripping off his coat and encircled and measured by the string, which goes so far as to braid his beard out of its way temporarily. All is returned to normal once the string is done.
For swimming, Clíodhna advises
Kyp to go with a jacket so the longer panels of a long coat won't drag and slow him in the water. She suggests
a teal color, like Argy's, with deep teal accents to make it look like variations in the water. It will be easy for her to
dye his water resistant pigskin gloves the same deep teal color. Another measuring string swiftly arrives to measure him up, although Clíodhna has to stop it from flirting with his net belt and get back to accurately measuring.
The admiral stops to observe
Devin and Captain BenKii sparring. Captain BenKii notices her eyes following his and Devin's movements closely for a moment, then she nods briefly and walks up to the quarterdeck where
Captain Aylar is engaged in a
dual wielding training session with his cutlass and Fey axe. She perches on the forward railing and settles in with a small smile while she watches Aylar quietly.
[The admiral answers Grog'tial's question about magic items working in the Weirding Sea, and takes more measurements and colors to craft the requested spidersilk blend armor. She observes the sparring and watches Aylar train.]
