Gemini,

Thank you for welcoming me into your tower and allowing me to assist with the preparations. Please accept these gifts as a token of my gratitude and friendship. As I will be staying in Bloodhaven until the conflict is settled, do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of further use.

Sincerely,

Apollonia

P.S. - The gloves are enchanted to protect against magic contamination when handling magical artefacts. I thought they may be of some use to you in the coming days.

They pen a note back.

Thank you, Apollonia. Your gifts are appreciated and I will treasure them.

I would also like to thank you for your assistance in preparing the containment zone- it was a project best suited for two.

You may call upon me at any time, whether here at Bloodhaven, or at my tower after the battle here comes to its conclusion.

Press your finger to the rune below, and you shall always have the knowledge of how to reach my tower when you call upon it.

They string the pendant around their neck and tuck the gloves into their pocket.

The wizard hands it a small piece of fabric woven with silver thread and a sigil in the centre.

Keep that on you while you are in my tower.

They open a portal, and escort the mage through it.

The wizard’s dungeon is actually quite clean and well-lit.

It’s not often I use it, but I do like to keep it tidy.

My plan is much like the plan with the moat at Bloodhaven- to create a circular wall of running saltwater around the perimeter of the room.

Then, between the two of us, I think we can sufficiently protect from anything getting out of this room; It is already impossible for almost everything to enter the tower without my permission.

Oh! Let me just-

The wizard made a sweeping gesture with their arms, and the walls of the dungeon rearranged themselves- no longer a rectangular room, but a circular one.

If you can summon the water, I can mould it into the shape we need.

Is there anything you require?

Apollonia's outfit for the Bloodhaven Ball, sans mask because I don't have hands anymore. Please excuse any messy bits you see; somewhere between doing the lace and the silver, I could feel my hand dexterity flee from my body.
