[ Istredd waves back to Rita politely. At least he thinks that's what she's doing. Now that the experience is over, Istredd can look back on it with some amount of humor. Himeka's safe and everyone got out fine, which means that he can feel like they got justly punished in the moment for their apathy.]

Himeka used the rune I gave her and it backfired and trapped her in ... some kind of substance that turned out to luckily be edible. She managed to eat around her face so she could breathe until I got there. Lucifer and Geralt thought it would be funny to watch me attempt to get her safely out rather than help. We ended up covered in it for some time.

[ Istredd managed to wipe off as much as he could, and he didn't taste any of it himself, but it was gooey and also made his clothes wet and uncomfortable. At the time, he never thought that Himeka would use the rune in a ward or High Magic attempt herself, he only wanted to know if she'd recognized it. In hindsight, he should have been more prepared. Too many people here are reckless when it comes to magic and the gods. ]

Your little creature there distracted Geralt and Lucifer as you walked by so I was able to punish them by throwing some of the substance I was scooping up at them. It was highly satisfying.
