Valeria felt the same sense of tension she always had at arriving at a new city; it was a good tension, that tension that came with new adventure and the promise of glory. She gently touched the holy symbol she wore around her neck, the blue eye of Veritas, Lord of Truth, Banisher of Lies. She was a fit woman, her form curvacious and lovely, but it was mostly obscured by the dint of her chunky scale armor. Her long blond hair was pulled back in a no-nonsense bun, and her gray eyes regarded the guards shouting about the recent banning against Hugsbane. She felt a brief flutter of uneasiness regarding Amanda; she admired the woman for her resolve, but the clothing Amanda wore was designed to attract notice and favorable (or perhaps unfavorable...) attention. The paladin was always slightly ill-at-ease around such beauteous individuals in her rough armor and dirty traveling cloak.<br/><br/>She heard Amanda address the group about the mixture, and Valeria frowned and said, “Considering the sheer number of people here? I just bet someone thought they could try to doll up some fake “youth” potion...or use the fact the Queen wanted a youth potion as a way to try to poison her. Either way, I doubt banning Hugsbane is going to fix anything. Someone else is bound to use something else inappropriately or try to take advantage of the situation. I'd say it's probably related to the Queen's call, most likely, otherwise it wouldn't be banned from the entire city limits.” She looked to the three guards and wondered if their things would be searched if they entered the city; it was highly likely.<br/><br/>She looked to the rest of the members of their band and said, “What do the rest of you think?”
