I got a little round bird from that ritual. A stuffed toy version obviously.

He didn't try to traumatize us for a joke or have seagulls attack us, so he's far and away the best Weed I've dealt with in one of that sheep's rituals.

Basically, when it shoots there's a little spell that goes off to create a little zone of silence to cover the sound. The energy that would normally turn into recoil gets converted into magical energy and fills up one of these stones. Firing the gun while it's out of regular bullets will shoot out that energy as a projectile! It's not as deadly as a bullet, but it'll stun whoever it hits to give time to reload or run. Firing it should have approximately the same physical feedback as a foam dart gun!

Does it help make up for the chickens you lost?

Yeah, the prizes from this one were pretty cute.
Re: early evening day 89

That really does sound perfect. You should probably be the one to explain it to Charon, though, I'll definitely mess up one of those details.

β um. [ NO THIS IS SO MUCH MORE EMBARRASSING NOW ] It's not really? I asked Aides if he could make something for you.
