#STEEMLORDS - Lord Silvernova Encounters dangers of the female kind. Befriends one and slays the other.

NOTE TO THE READER: Definition Of Westeros Strain of pipe weed as per the quest master:

[Quest Master]

Twas a relaxing day for you Silvernova - perhaps a little too relaxing.

For your weed had been substituted for the Westeros variety - an anesthetic of sorts used by medical practitioners and hired bandits looking to shanghai crews for their pirate vessels.

I am guessing it was the second group who made the switch.

Sleep well Lord Silvernova.

As Lord silvernova looked out towards the vast sea that stretched ahead of him, knowing of the dangers that lie ahead, his stomach turned and groaned. A feeling of dread washed over him and a bead of sweat began to build on his forehead. It seemed he had overeaten on the generous serving of dwarf curry and it had passed straight through him. After a mad dash to the little Alchemists room and some mildly ‘hot’ discomfort Lord Silvernova was once again gazing out to sea, the events that had lead him here playing through his mind.

It all started Yesterday, with the announcement of the quest and a disgustingly wild night of parting. The morning had begun like many others, awoken to the sounds of nature and the nearby brook, Lord Silvernova had risen to enjoy the sunrise with a pleasant pipe of haflings leaf. Unbeknown to Lord Silvernova the bag of leaf had been swapped during the wild festivities of the night before. He did not realise that the bag he was enjoying was instead, the infamous Westeros Variety. 

This has differing effects to the halfling leaf he had smoked previously, one produces a euphoric sense of being and visions into the ether and the other would lay a normal man out to sleep for a day or so. Lord Silvernova was no normal man though, instead he was able to stay awake but the weed had one side effect…… an unusually high arousal state.

Whether a straight coincidence or a great plan executed brilliantly I will let you decide. (For Chooxena’s side of the story see here)

Lord Silvernova was enjoying his pipe, when out of nowhere a wonder of a sight appeared in front of him. She announced herself with a soft cough, probably hinting at the heavy smoke that hung in the air, and asked for a moment of his time. 

Here in front of Lord Silvernova was the most famous pair of boobs and yoga pants in the entire world of steemit, announcing herself as if he had never read the “MiddleSteem Elven Times” and had never heard of the enticing ChooXena : The Vegan Princess. 

“I know who you are” was all he could say. The captivating sight of those boobs squeezed into that yoga top was almost overwhelming him now, the Westeros strain flowing through his body.

ChooXena described how she came in peace and offered a truce on any heritage wars over sports or celebrities She then proceeded to inform Sir Silvernova how she needed his arcane ancient knowledge to find a potion of tranquilizary and that a handsome reward would be his in return.

Lord Silvernova just heard “Tranquilizer Get boobies ……mmmmmm boobies” 

I think we will just blame the Westeros Weed for what happened next.

Against all better sense, obviously due to the Westeros weed, Lord Silvernova dipped into his bag and grasped his one and only bottle of ‘Sleepus Forabitus’ and proceeded to hand it over to the beautiful ChooXena. 

Even though she had mentioned the transaction would be in steemdollars, he had all ready been transfixed by the tight yoga pants and busting at the seam yoga top to even hear the terms of the deal. He eagerly waited for his boob action, even hoping for a glimpse of sideboob as she pocketed the bag in her yoga top. Wether the drugs were playing an effect or not, he was almost convinced he caught a slight glimpse of nip as the baggie was hidden. 

Once the effect of the Westeros strain had worn off Lord Silvernova realised the foley of his mistake, that was the last of his sleep potions and his plan to use it on a fearsome cyclops was now ruined. It was time for plan two. Medusa!

Lord Silvernova thought back reflecting on the port that he had proceeded to next on his quest. He needed a ride to Crete and made haste for the nearest port. It was a depraved port, with brothels and women of the night every where. On a few of the gentlemans club doors he could make out a picture of Lord Percy the Pervy. Announcing that he was banned from said establishments for unfathomable acts. One of the ‘establishments’ even had a trail of pubes and crabs leading off into the distance (see Gohba’s story here). 

On one of the ships Lord Silvernova spied a crate with a large eye on the side, “hmmm that must be a parcel drop for Cyclops of Crete.

Using some of his super sneaky skills he was able to commando crawl all the way to the cargo stash. Once there he hurriedly looked for another crate.

“BINGO” a huge crate with a serpents head on the side. Cracking the crate lid open Lord Silvernova saw that it was a crate of anti-venom for the lady Medusa. With large venomous snakes for hair, Medusa knows that a bad hair day can be the death of a woman. She always keeps a large supply of snake anti-venom on hand. 

Making some room inside the crate, Lord Silvernova hid between the bottles. Settled in for the voyage. He decided to drink the anti-venom to stay hydrated and he figured it could come in handy in the future. He also managed to stash some bottles in his backpack.

He traveled for what seemed like years (1 Day) before he heard the trumpets signalling their approach to Crete. He waited in the crate until he felt the delivery men manhandle the crate onto the shore. 

Now common sense had lead to all of Medusas packages being dropped off without her on the beach (we wouldn't want every single delivery man turned to stone) and when the boat was far enough from the shore they would blow a trumpet signalling the drop off.

This allowed Lord Silvernova time to clamber out of the crate, leaving his silver shield inside, and run off to the nearest boulder to hide.

A slippery sound, slish, slish, slish, Medusa came writhing down the hill towards her package. When she opened the crate and peered inside, the magnificent silver shield enhanced her reflection and transfixed her into a certain zombie like state. (You know the one, first thing in the morning as your partner stares into the mirror with that gaze as she applies her ‘face’.)

Medusa was so captivated by the reflection from the highly polished silver shield she ignored the hisses from her hair, allowing Lord Silvernova the chance to sneak up behind her. Using his magic imbued electric sword, he cleaved her head straight off, the electric blade leaving a clean heat sealed wound. 

He took a few snake bites to the hand as he held the head in victory, thanks to the antivenom this was more of an annoyance than anything. The head was then sealed in an airtight bag, to suffocate the remaining serpents, for this was to be his gift for the High Priest of Himling.

Walking the streets of Crete feeling pretty good Lord Silvernova was heading to the dock, to again set sail on a perilous journey. There was still the remaining parts of the Belgaer Sea to face, then navigating through the notorious islands of the east and hopefully the prospect of reaching Himling in one piece while keeping Medusa’s head. 

While strolling through the streets observing the locals, a few things caught his eyes and ears. 

He spied a mighty Minotaur in a shop window, but what was even stranger was the fearsome Battlewom parading around the shop sporting a very strange blazer. (See here)

After shaking this image from his head Lord Silvernova pushed on.

He heard stories about his fellow #steemsilvergold guild friend Sir Pheli had succeeded in acquiring his gift and has departed for Himling safely, albeit minus a certain sixth lord. (See here)

It also seems that a certain Madam Arly has cleaned up her act, leaving those nights of forgotten memories behind and has set out renewed as Baroness Bearone The Dazzling, and she has now departed to join the quest.(see here)

There also seems to be chatter of sailships, dragons, unicorns and submarines menacing around the Seas of Belgaer.

Lord Silvernova noticed the square profile of a large square, sharp looking boat down in the dock. Could this be his lucky day? He ran down and as he neared he saw the flags of the Dwarf Trade Guild flying from the bold ship. Boarding the ship he hurriedly found the captain. Having a way with the dwarfs from his time in the mountains, he was able to strike a deal. He enjoyed the company of dwarfs, they were gruff and straight up, but most of all they made Lord Silvernova feel pretty tall.

With a handful of silver and gold, of which Lord Silvernova was not short, he was able to favour passage to Himling, as well as all the food, ale and pipe weed he could handle to keep him entertained. 

He had heard a rumour that the lovely Baroness Bearone the Dazzling was inbound to Crete as well, he wondered if he would cross her path. She would more than likely be a little strung out, embarking on a mad quest as the ale makes it’s way out of her system. He decided to stick around the port for a few hours before heading off to navigate the islands, on the off chance of crossing paths with the intriguing Baroness or any straggling members of the #steemsilvergold guild. 

This is where we started, staring out to the sea pondering the quest that has been and the quest that is ahead.

What trials lie ahead in the notorious eastern Islands? Cannibals, pirates, sharks or any and all manner of unforeseen dangers?

Will the dwarf boat make it all the way to Himling? 

Will Lord Silvernova ever get to see the hidden weapons vaguely concealed under that yoga top?

What strange encounters and meetings lie ahead?

The #steemlords are on the march, watch out Crete and Himling things are about to get crazy!!
