Calaethis, *hugs* to you. Galadria, the character, is much too calculating to do waste a potential asset.
L33, hi! Good to hear from you. Thanks for the encouragement.

He scrambled up and blundered out the door, to be collared by Odo, who threw him out the front gate. Scrambing up, he saw his horse, already packed, standing hitched to the post in front of the House of the Dome. He jumped atop of the beast and rode hurriedly off, easily clearing the Main Gate within the time specified.
He returned immediately to Halruua, and lost no time consulting the most powerful mages there to get them to remove the curse. Each of them shook their heads with varying degrees of regret. The last one he tried, a venerable sage indeed had openly admired the complex structure of the geas.
"Bandicut, my boy," he said, not without a certain malice, "of course it's too bad that it's on you, but, looking at it objectively, you'd have to admit that it's a beautiful thing of its kind. See how each part turns back on itself to protect at least one other element. Galadria of Baldur's Gate, hmmm? Really powerful and ingenious. Must see to it that I do not cross her." Then he had laughed uproariously. Bandicut had then given up in despair.
The collar did not give him much rest, because, apparently reacting to small hurts and illnesses in Noemi's life, it would suddenly tighten, sometimes severely, interrupting him at his work, while relaxing, or enjoying the painted boys that frequented the taverns of Halruua. He began, as Galadria had predicted, ferreting out possible enemies of hers, to prevent any harm coming to her. He developed agents in Baldur's Gate, who would break up burglaries before they occured, and had an old pervert who coveted Noemi's beauty strangled before he could attempt to kidnap her, as was being rumored. Then one day, to his surprise, a letter arrived for him by messenger from Galadria. He opened it cautiously, fearing more curses, but instead read a simple messsage: "Bandicut, you'd better have a physician around, because Noemi is about to have a baby." He fainted away in fear.
