IC: Akata "Of course" Akata said, surprised that his lie worked as well as it did, "Anything to help the Guard." No matter how well his lie was working, it wouldn't last forever. Because he thoroughly cleaned off his staff, it wouldn't stand out from all the other piles of weapons it was with, which he was thankful for. But he would need to escape before they uncovered any other evidence. Akata knew he would not be able to take on all the guards at once in combat, but there were other ways. A plan formed in his mind, and he began working. While he asked questions, he remembered. He thought back to Le-Wahi, and the variety of plants he came across there. He found one plant in particular, a Vuata Maca tree. Usually, Vuata Maca trees were used as an energy source in the Koros. However, every now and then one could get poisoned. Akata was lucky enough to come across a poisoned Vuata Maca sapling, and absorbed it. Akata learned from a Rahi Trapper that the toxin from a poisoned Vuata Maka tree slowly leeches the energy out of almost anything it touches, and if consumed, can render the victim unconscious for days. However, it has a very delayed reaction, and wont take effect until about an hour has passed, and it can be cured with ground Vuata Maka crystals, but those were hard to come by. "So, what will become of me?" He asked, getting ready to recreate the toxin when the moment was right.
