Marigolds were often linked to the powerful strength of the sun and represent power, strength, and light that lives inside of a person. The marigold can also represent the connection between life and death. According to Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, the flowers and leaves of marigold have anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antimicrobial, and antiepileptic effects. Marigolds are generally administered in tinctures, ointments, and infusions to treat wounds for inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes.

I'd kinda count it? Though I dunno if it was intentional or it's just not someone's priority to keep stuff nice. Friend of mine, he got dropped down into a pit on purpose when we weren't with him.

He got rescued, at least, but... uh, she had rope to drop down to him. Don't think any of us have that? Unless we tied our cult robes together into a rope.

[killies]

Better than nothing... [ the tying robes idea. ]

Wait, dropped into a pit on purpose? [ explain. ]

[concoctive]

Not his on purpose, at least. See, the Professor likes to talk. And not, like, to talk over you? He just enjoys teaching, and talking at length about stuff. So he's kinda easy to trick or distract.

So this guy we were trying to stop from doing shady stuff kinda just. Opened a trapdoor under him and dropped his ass into a pit that one of his students had to get him out of. But he was just gonna stay down there for however long, apparently?

[killies]

[ woah!! that guy sounds annoying!!! is what she thinks but decides not to say. ]

Huh... [ well okay! ] Did you stop the shady guy?

[concoctive]

[ SHE WOULD BE RIGHT!!!

alfyn: i love this guy, he's great
also alfyn: oh my god please shut up professor ]

Yeah, we tracked him down after.

[concoctive]

[ ... ]

He kinda blew up after we fought him, though. Absorbed a lot of dark, arcane magic way above my paygrade to understand.

[killies]

He...

[ well. alfyn just said he doesn't understand how it works so there's no point in asking. ]

Is that a good ending or a bad one?

[concoctive]

Good ending. He was evil and kind of a rat bastard of a person, to boot. So.

Not really a huge loss? [ pokes at a floorboard with the end of his axe as he says this. ] Moral of the story is, don't fall into pits you can't get out of by being distracted by some dude monologuing.

[killies]

[ very seriously ]

I'll try to avoid it.

[concoctive]

[ euqally as seeriously, although he's trying (and failing) to keep his expression serious: ]

Good, dunno how many robes it'd take to pull anybody out of a pit.

[killies]

[ a lil nod... falling's dangerous... ]

So do you always hunt down bad guys like that?
