After pondering it a moment, Maribel decided to just give Gresha one of the normal potions. Her companion was already large enough, and she also wanted to save it for some more potential fun later…
“Here Greshie, take this!” she called out, still attempting to raise her voice so as not to alarm the orc. She outstretched a hand with a regular potion, before suddenly careening into her partner! A strong gust of wind had smacked her from behind, and while she hadn’t fallen over completely, her attempt to lightly hand over the brew had been turned into tripping and tossing it. More concerning to Maribel was the fact that only one thing in the area could’ve caused a blast strong enough to shake her strong stature.
“Back up already Queenie? Why don’t you just leave us alone now!?”
For a moment Jesarin’s spritely features contorted in rage before she took a deep breath and composed herself. “Well you haven’t paid your toll for trespassing, and the price is much steeper now that you’ve destroyed my men. A pity your friend appears alive, otherwise I’d consider her death adequate payment.”
“Hey! Stay away from her! We won’t give you anything so don’t make me knock you again!”
To Maribel’s surprise, Jesarin merely chuckled. She wasn’t used to other people being positive in tense situations, especially the disadvantaged villain. Before she had much more time to ponder though, the Elven robber presented the reason for her mirth: “Ha! It’s like fighting a pair of orcs with how large and dense you are too! I’ve already taken my toll, one worth even the lives you stole. I knew you were stupid from your castle ideas, but were you really dumb enough to think that wind blast was meant to knock you out?”
Puzzled, Maribel eloquently answered: “...what?”
“I mean this of course - easy enough to knock it from your grasp with a wind spell!” she proclaimed, snatching up the glowing pink potion that had rolled over to her shoe. “It’s obvious from the aura this grew you-” she explained, her eyes glowing faintly with magesight, “so imagine how it can improve my powers!”
