#but in any case jask is enraged to find ouf what they've done. that they tried to sacrifice him. that they wouldnt pay him

[roughentumble]

wait. mildly inspired by this post. geralt completes a contract for a village, but once it's done they refuse to pay. things get a little heated, but as he's about to wash his hands of the whole thing, the people swarm him. he's impressive, but he's not invulnerable, and there's just too many people. a few fall to his blade, but they get him chained, and foece him up a mountain, which turns out to be a whole entire /volcano/. they say they dont have the money to pay him, but also that his sacrifice will appease their local god, who's been making the volcano rumble beneath their feet. he spits and curses, but they push him in, and he falls down, down... only to wake up on the floor, a man with floppy brown hair and bright blue eyes-- the god of the volcano, evidently-- standing above him, confused and concerned, asking if he's alright.

#witcher tag #ogc tag #they have some name for him but he's named himself jaskier after the flowers that bloom around his base in the summer #and the rumblings are because he wants to travel! be a traveling bard! but he isnt quite sure how to seperate from the volcano #perhaps geralt in injured and needs to be nursed to health? #and maybe he promises to try to find a way to split jaskier from his dwelling in the earth? so that he can travel as he wishes? #but in any case jask is enraged to find ouf what they've done. that they tried to sacrifice him. that they wouldnt pay him #and for the first time he flexes his powers and he rains fury down on them for their greed. their cruelty. only stopping at geralt's urging
