You would be wise not to return. ( Not alone, not to him. Despite his honeyed tongue, his meaning stands plain: his creatures, growling, underscore his impatience.
Once she has fled past earshot's reach, he wrinkles his brow, as if suddenly remembering — then waves his hand in the air, only the once — and smiles down agreeably, at his creatures. )

( ooc: Rathakku curses Wanda as follows for her perceived arrogance: once she returns to Alem, whatever living thing (flowers, animals, people) she touches with her right arm decays, either visibly or until it turns entirely to rot or ashes.

The spell either lasts 48 hours, or can be broken by one of the magicians or wizards of your choice from the PC cast. )
