367 Welcome to the Hellespont

Although colorful, nothing dangerous happened over the next nine days. Once the most severe of the injuries were healed (enough that I could heal my full twelve points a day), the addition of healing potions to my diet sped the process up. And then, scales still growing, we were off.

I had chosen a number of evolutions, mostly concerned with the digesting of blood, just in case it came up as a social concern. (I already had all kinds of things for dealing with Anemia and Bleeding, so I didn't consider those as things I was lacking.)

What I wasn't able to get was anything that resembled armor or new equipment, although there was a gruff woman called Matty Kelly Barstone who was able to repair the edge of Heart's Protector. This was a laborious process of withdrawing the Protection mana, having the blade heated, hammered, and sharpened, and then replacing the magic. <1 >
