Lorkata looks back to the forge, unstrapping the falchion from his back and placing it on the forge. Lifting the heavy smith's hammer, he smiled as he brought it down heavily on the blade. The teeth of the blade flew in all directions as the weapon deformed. Repeated blows further bent the weapon to the point of breaking, until the magic contained within burst out, blasting the smith's hammer away. Chuckling, Lorkata threw the ruined blade to the floor and started towards the Hive Ward.

Kail watched the initiate with keen eyes as he destroyed the blade.
He took out a note pad and ticked off the first of the trials he had given the Lorkata to do.

As he passed the broken blade he kicked what was left of it's hilt sending it spinning off into the depths of the burning waste below in the forge pit to the side of him.

He proceded out of the Armoury to follow Lorkata and observe from the shadows as he undertook further tasks.

Orcs made such traditional doomguard. He had a good feeling about this one.

Lorkata stepped away from a merchant in Undersigil having to stop repeatedly to lean against the wall while the peals of laughter erupted from him. The tannaruk moved up through the sewer tunnels, stepping out into the Hive Ward. Holding a closed leather pouch, Lorkata walked up to a small grocer and watched the poor souls bartering over scraps of unidentifiable meat. Pulling open the drawstring on the pouch, the contents were sent sailing into the crowd. At that point Lorkata found himself leaning forward eagerly, watching for the first poor sod to actually look at a coin and find out that they had been inscribed with explosive runes.

A short while later after he recovered from his laughter, the tannaruk stumbled away from the now burning grocer to find himself a dabus. He had plans for that one as well.

Kail watched from a dark corner as a few berks got their hands blown off and their noses burned and the following paradox of Hivers standing around looking at coins, too poor to just ignore them but too scared to pick them up.

How deliciously clever the tanarruk had been on that task.

The Doomguard was about to leave when he noticed the demon blooded orc paying attention to a Dabus.

This was the task that sent shivers down his spine. This task was the one that had seen Sinkers mazed or flayed in the past by the Lady of Pain. An element of caution or extreme creative cunning was required and he hoped the Tanaruk possesed at least one of these traits if he was to survive the trial.

The tannaruk stood watching the dabus at it's work. The dabus moved with a sickle and a black gauntlet, catching the razorvine and depositing it in piles to be carted off later. Lorkata moved several hundred paces down, watching for the approach of the dabus. Uncapping a scrollcase with a chuckle, Lorkata upended the contents into a palm and tossed the leather case towards the vine, chuckling as it was shredded as it fell. Lorkata unfurled the scroll, chuckling again as he read the title of the spell: Animate Plants.

OOCly: Animate Plants is a 7th lvl druid spell and Lorkata probably couldn't IG use it, especially not under harsh conditions. He would be using it to create a several hour long entangle effect, so if use of that spell is a problem, I'll substitute it with Entangle, which Lorkata can use. It just has a much shorter duration, which is less fun RP-wise. :D

[OOC: Sorry I had not seen this before, dunno how I missed it. I guess basically your looking for a DM response on this but there is enough info here for Kail to know what would happen and need to react. The following would also take into account why there has been nothing happen on this for a month XD]

As the razorvine animates and small tendrils begin to entangle the Dabus a horror fills Kail as he realises what the initiate has done.

He twists a metal band on his bracers and exposes one of four gems. He touches one and a haste effect comes over him as he leaps from a nearby roof ledge and lands by Lorkata. He attempts to grab hold of the initiate and try and lead him in a charge for the nearest portal to get out of Sigil. Hopefully nobody will have see the two and Kail would advise the Tanarukk not to return to Sigil until Kail sends him an all clear.

If the Dabus is choked or harmed by the razorvine the Lady of Pain's presence would surely soon follow.
