OOC: Chronologically should be sometime right after the road building event, but I only wrote it recently
The poisonous toads were ribbiting nearby, crammed into the small worn-out basket and staring up at her with their glistening bead-like eyes.
A small precious bundle of them, collected throughout, and right after the construction of Castellan's big road. The blessed poisonous messengers of Talona, or at least so they appeared in her mind. With little further thought, the druid picked up the basket and turned it over, releasing the toads back into the wilderness where they belonged.
The Castellan was, no doubt, very proud of his road, but what was a line of cobble stones compared to a true wonder, a creature which carried poison upon its very skin?
A quiet prayer to Talona departed from her lips, that no one but only the toads could hear. Before they too vanished, ribbiting their way into the night.
Somewhere she heard that by licking them one could achieve true enlightment. But tonight wasn't the night to try that.
