After tense confrontations with the rulers of Aimsir, Ambrosine Evensong, Neri Pavlon, and Rowan Sylvan have died. The remainder of the tributes continue on, wiser for their encounter.

The quest has begun, but one thing troubles your thoughts.

How can you cure a Tree that no one alive has seen?

The corpse lily is a bone-white flower with astounding healing properties. Its nectar is said to cure all disease, but the flower itself can only grow in soil watered by human blood. Understandably, that makes the supply of the flower limited and unreliable, even for the wealthiest of buyers. 

The only consistent supply of the flower is located deep in demon territory, but even the darkest Ghul fears to set foot in these woods- with good reason.

The reason's name is Cat Sith. At first glance, Cat Sith appears to be an ordinary tabby cat, albeit with bright red eyes. Abandoned by his human owners after their settlement was attacked by demons, Cat Sith ate the only thing he could find- the lilies that grew from the blood of the slain. He immediately stopped aging, and began to seek out the lilies, allowing the buildup of magic to change and enhance him.  The only reason lilies can grow in the woods is by Cat Sith's efforts- he brings the lilies dead bodies that he has hunted and killed himself. 

The blood magic of the lilies has given Cat Sith a variety of abilities that make him arguably one of the deadliest beings on Aimsir. He has developed a dark, twisted intellect whose bloodlust puts the Eldest vampire to shame, and he can become nearly invisible at will, particularly in the shadows.

Add claws that sever metal and armor with ease, and you have a serious threat. Add a top speed of 80 miles per hour, and you have a highly lethal, homicidal monster bent on using you as supernatural fertilizer. Ideally, you would give the place a wide berth (assuming you knew, of course.) However, this situation is far from ideal.

The Requirements:

Get the cure. Get out. Live. (The last one will be the trickiest.)

Kills: 2 ballot deaths, 2 entry deaths. As an additional wrinkle, if Cat Sith dies in your entry, you may add another ballot death to your tally. If he does not, you are protected from one kill.

Six people will go up for votes. Four will be eliminated.

Due Date: Tuesday, June 30 at 5 PM EST/ 10 PM GMT
