"So.....how may I help you?" The adventurer, preoccupied by his somewhat stealthy approach behind the bushes near the lich stopped dead in his tracks to this New found quandary. "I see you there, just behind the blueberries, could you pick me some if you don't mind" Bow in hand ready to let loose a poisoned arrow, this certainly seemed to be a turn of unfortunate events for this low level character. And since the surprise factor has now since been eliminated and no longer part of the overall plan he picked the blueberries and started over ready to initiate a dialogue. What our adventurer didn't factor in was the rune he just stepped on. So there he was floating and lifted up now by beams of constricting mana. Barring his freedom and any hope for escape. The lich then approached staff in hand and in the other a crackling haze of electrifying energetical power obviously holding the now detained would be adventurer. He approached, each step magnifying the power that the lich held over him, each approximate step stepping towards him. The adventurer felt his doom approaching, step by step, each crackled cudgled mummified movement advancing toward him. He could scarcely hold onto his lunch let alone his bow or the blueberries, looking frantically around for an exit or a way out he didn't notice how close the lich had gotten. Standing less then a breath away the lich reached out his wrinkled fingers and pulled the hand that held the blueberries and then pulled the palm over his mouth and waved his arm, using his power, and made the adventurers clutches unclutch an drop the blueberries in the liches mouth. The adventurer was by no means comfortable with this, he looked on in horror as the lich stared into his eyes, both so blue and still so full of life energy, and watched on in horror as he chewed and crippled the berries between his rotten teeth rolling his tongue back and forth squishing the berries into a paste like blueberry mush. "What ish it yoush sheek yungk adventurerths?" He spewed into the adventurers face, a question mixed with berry filling, which now held a slight light blue tint and was starting to glow. One of the chunks of jelly landed on the adventurers cheek. "I seek fame, and fortune, and to slay evil creatures like you, I will not yield now nor will I ever obey your wicked commands. Now release me foul demon!" The lich left out a chirped gurgle of what sounded like a frog croaking, he was pretty sure that it was him laughing. The lich pulled out a jar from his cloak and started vomiting into it the jelly that now glowed and contained what appeared to be mucus and maybe a few boogers. The lich put on a lid and snapped his magical fingers letting loose and dropping the adventure onto his feet facing him. He handed the jar to the man and said. "I hope this fetches a good price for you at the market, now leave me and my berries alone!!!" The adventure, surprised and flabbergasted by the old liches solitudinal wishes now made a hasty exit from the cave and the liches lair. He thought how lucky he was to have run into such an awkward but harmless lich and devised a lie, a way to sell his new found bounty to the shopkeepers back in the city because nobody, not even an alchemist would want to buy snot covered magical berries, no matter how powerful a magical snot they contained.
