Nobody succeeds beyond their wildest expectations unless they begin with some wild expectations.

[Saturday, October 31st (day 153)]
[Verdandi's suite - Tavern of Hell]



I've rearranged some furniture today and I think I've finally made enough space in the living room for the rite.  I stuffed the couch in my bedroom (Thank Odin the doorway was wide) and I'm pretty sure the clawfoot tub won't fall through the floor in the bathroom.  Everything else is in place, braziers set at each of the cardinal directions, surrounding the complicated rune carved into the living room floor.  Since we can't actually hang Syl from Yggdrasil, I've brought the tree to her, so to speak. 

It's a single bind rune comprising six overlaid runes: Isa to halt the destruction that has begun, Kenaz is the hearthfire of kinship with All Living, Tyr for victory over adverse conditions, Laguz to open the pathways, Fehu rules energy and Algiz is protection against interference from the Gods.  

On a small table off to the side, among the potions, inks and runestones, rests Garm, glimmering like a viper in the verge.   All we're missing is the guest of honor, Syl, and of course, Tez.  I won't lie and say I'm not worried about what may happen tonight but between the binding rune and the Tavern's recently bolstered protections, I should be able to constrain any unexpected... complications.
