Elder Blood Witcher 531 Lambasted

Coaugh who'd been sitting at the side suddenly stands up and makes his way over to Andre and Vamos, giving them both heavy claps on the shoulder. "Thank ye beard man, bone man."

Andre laughs "Think nothing of it big guy! We know how boring it is without a hammer in ya hand."

Reima "Come to think of it... Where's Rickert?" he asks with a confused expression.

Vamos "That stick up the a.s.s? He's over botherin that black 'aired Sorceress to teach him this worlds magic or somethin."

Reima shakes his head, these guys are gonna make Rickert want to go back to his cage in Lordran if they carry on...

A couple hours later Geralt had finally a.s.sembled all the groups needed to clear up the region, there would be four in total with himself, Reima, Eskel, and Lambert all leading separate parties. In each group there would be equal amounts of Flame Guards, Pyromancers and Pyreblade along with around fifty Prospects. The rest of the Prospects would be left behind to defend Kaer Morhen, that and having around two hundred and fifty Prospects in each group would be almost completely unmanageable, especially for Eskel and Lambert who'd never really led large groups of people before.

As per Reima's instructions, they gathered the weapons of the Prospects that'd be involved and gave them to the blacksmiths for plating, they even had Coaugh help carry them due to the amount. For the Pyromancers it wasn't really necessary to plate their weapons in Silver due to their Pyromancies, Chaos Blade serving as a good enough subst.i.tute for Silver against most enemies.

Reima had also gone to look for Eskel and Lambert to ask for their a.s.sistance, Eskel was happy to help but Lambert was another story... Unfortunately, he'd started on the wrong foot as he entered the Witchers room he had interrupted him and Keira Metz doing rigorous activities under the covers.

Lambert "Eskel! I swear if it's you again I'll... Reima? For f.u.c.k sake!" he exclaims as he takes a look at the person in the doorway.

Reima turns around, "Er, I need to talk to you about something important, but I can see you're already busy. Look for me later." he says as he slams the door behind him, remarking to himself at how firm Keira's b.r.e.a.s.t.s were.

An hour later a frosty faced Lambert walks towards Reima, "What'd you need to talk about Reima? It must be incredibly important for you to force your way into my room."

...

Reima "I need you to lead a group through the region and hunt down any monsters you see. Geralt, Eskel, and I will all be partic.i.p.ating."

Lambert crosses his arms, "Yeah? What's in it for me?"

Reima shrugs, "I'll give you a couple bottles of whisky from another world." he states.

Lambert shakes his head, "All that trouble for some drinks? Sorry Reima but I'm not as charitable as Geralt and Eskel are."

Reima frowns, "I'll throw in some gold as well, but don't expect me to help you out without some compensation either Lambert."

Lambert nods, "Fine, just point me in a direction and I'll lead whoever you give me... Just don't count on everything returning if we're unlucky or they're not strong enough."

Reima "I think you're forgetting that most of them are Immortal...." he mutters in exasperation.

After talking to Lambert Reima summons Hinky to talk about how everything is going, the Elf happily tells him about the lands surrounding Kaer Morhen, that it's relatively stable and fertile making it a good place to start crops and build atop. Though the Elf isn't too sure if the Magical plants he'd brought would grow well here as while the ambient magic is actually higher here, it's more concentrated into certain elements.

For example, Hinky notes that they feel "Hot magic" atop the mountain where the Everlasting Dragon is resting. Reima concludes that this is probably due to the Igni Place of Power that rests up there, it's one of the places Geralt took him to years ago to train his Signs.

He was a bit wary of growing Magical plants near such places as his encounter with the Quen empowered Leshen was worrying, of course he wasn't scared of the plants growing out of control and trying to kill him, instead, he didn't want to waste the limit supplies he'd brought and have to go back and pick up more.

Not only that but recently the Elves had found a place of power where the battle had just happened. It was a few meters under the ground and appeared to be an Axii stone, Reima wasn't really sure what to do with it and so decided to make the Elves keep it hidden for now... However when they decided to start building houses for everyone they'd have to take another look at it as it was in the area where they'd begin.

Reima had also taken a few fibres from Sol, Priscilla's doll that unlocks the Painted World of Ariamis to make a few bracelets that would allow the Elves to come and go from there without him having to transport them. While there he checked to makesure the creatures inside were alright and hadn't eaten any of the House Elves, luckily they'd remained relatively docile and was even greeted by the Unicorn + Thestral herd. Once everyone was properly constructed he'd take them into the world outside instead of keeping them locked up... That and he wanted to see Geralt and Yennefer's reaction to them.
