She still had to deal with more adventurers than the Adventurer's Guild staff could handle with the added bonus of everyone being cooped up inside because of the rains. At the start of this rainy time, Erin asked Selys to for a favor<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/21/5-03/ Chapter 5.03]</ref> which ended up being giving an application for status as adventurers from the [[Redfang Elite Warriors|Redfang Goblins]] at Erin's inn to her grandmother, Tekshia.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/21/5-04/ Chapter 5.04]</ref> Before this could be resolved, [[Face-Eater Moths]] attacked the city. Selys warned the nearby adventurers after hearing the siege alarms<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/28/5-07/ Chapter 5.07]</ref> and helped by distributing potions for the defense.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/31/5-08/ Chapter 5.08]</ref> The city survived [[Moth's Attack on Liscor|the attack]], and eventually Selys found time to make it to Erin's inn. She was there when Erin first met [[Embria Grasstongue|Embria]], and Selys talked to Erin about some of Embria and [[Relc Grasstongue|Relc's]] unique dynamics as well as how made her grandmother was that Erin got Selys to try to register goblins as adventurers.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/08/21/5-13/ Chapter 5.13]</ref><p></p> Selys had one last meeting with her uncle, Zel, before he left for the north. The two talked about her childhood and her current activities, and Zel showed genuine interest since Selys was the only member of his family that didn't treat him like a hero. So, when Zel died just days later, Selys was professional but it hit her hard. She tried to help the goblins of Erin's inn sort out the claims and information on their descent into the dungeon, but eventually she'd had enough and went to make her report to her grandmother. Tekshia denied Selys' requests once more to let the goblins from earlier become adventurers and also rejected Pisces' proposal to help clean the city's sewers using undead, though the latter would be pushed through anyway by Zevara as it was a matter of city security. In response Tekshia made Selys accompany Pisces while his undead cleared out the sewers to watch it. Lastly, Tekshia informed Selys that Zel's body would be coming into the city the following day and that his will would be read. Soon enough, Selys has to attend the reading of Zel's will. At the very end of it, Zel promised any personal effects that were on him at the time of his death to Selys. The main item this left her was the most sought after artifact that Zel had very recently come into possession of, the [[Heartflame Breastplate]].<ref name=":2" /> Selys had to deal with coming into possession of a legendary artifact. Selys went to sleep early and gained the [Heiress] class, and when she woke up fully the following morning she realized that it was the day of Zel's funeral. The funeral came and went with Selys in a bit of a fugue. Afterwards, Embria and Ilvriss talked to Selys about guarding her new armor and tried to buy it off of her. To get out of the situation, Selys used Pisces' sewer cleaning appointment as an excuse. The sewer job was tense as Selys had a lot of reasons to dislike Necromancers, but she was present and even helpful in giving Pisces advice on how to improve his creation. After Selys confirmed that Pisces' creation was working properly, the two headed back aboveground. On the way, Pisces gave his advice on what to do with the breastplate. He let Selys know that the politics of it would just get more complicated, so she should first learn about the artifact and its true capabilities. To do this the two went to Pallass to find a library where they could read about the Heartflame Breastplate. On her way back after doing research, Selys was captured by a group of [Thugs].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/09/01/5-17-s/ Chapter 5.17 S]</ref> She woke up in their custody as they tried to get her to sign away the breastplate. Pisces revealed himself before things got violent and the two were able to get away with no lasting injuries. They had to settle things with the watch captain, but were soon sent back to Liscor. Once there, more people came to bother Selys about her armor, so she went home. Pisces was in Selys' house, and he brought her dinner assuming she hadn't eaten. The two got drunk and decided to explore the capabilities of Selys' armor. They couldn't find out how to activate it, but they left on good terms. The following day, Selys had to deal with more people bothering her about her armor from her friends all the way to buyers representing different drake cities and [[Wistram Academy|Wistram]]. Once she got out of this, she went back to trying codewords with Pisces, but her patience was running thin. Selys hissed at him which ended up being the proper "word" they were looking for. Selys paraded the armor around the city appreciating its value and then put a plan into place that Pisces and herself had come up with. She got some drake cities to agree to pay for Selys to ''not'' sell it to others, and she decided to ''lease'' the armor not ''sell'' to adventuring teams if they would agree to give her a share of whatever profits the team got. She also updated her will to state that in the event of her death, no matter what the circumstances of that death may be, the armor would go back to [[Magnolia Reinhart]] closing off any chances of assassination from anyone except for Magnolia herself. After this, Selys went back to her grandmother and finally said she'd put her reputation on the line to vouch for the redfang goblins to be adventurers which was what Tekshia had been waiting for. She also went out that night with Pisces to bury Zel's ashes in [[Sserys]]' grave as his will requested. She put random other ashes into Zel's urn to complete the ruse.<ref name=":1" /> Taking responsibility for the goblins was not just a statement from Selys. Her grandmother made her go to the Wandering Inn and explain the duties and obligations of adventurers to the goblins, and she had to actually confirm that they did indeed want to become adventurers themselves.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/09/5-27/ Chapter 5.27]</ref> Of course, with this dealt with the next crisis for Liscor was just starting up. [[Raskghar]] soon attacked the city and the inn. Selys weathered the first attack by hiding in her apartment and then dealt with the aftermath by sorting through things at the adventurer's guild until her grandmother called her over to the inn to help record what had happened there as the Wandering Inn had caught a live Raskghar.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/06/5-35-h/ Chapter 5.35 H]</ref> The situation didn't stop there. Raskghar continued to attack and even kidnapped Mrsha and Ceria at one point.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/20/5-39/ Chapter 5.39]</ref> Selys helped get them back by lending her armor to one of the adventurers that would go in and save them, and altogether, the adventurers came back with large amounts of loot. The issue was that there were a lot of adventurers participating in the retrieval mission and not enough artifacts for everyone, so a high-stakes lottery was held. The [[Halfseekers]] found a loophole though. Apparently, the paperwork for making the goblins adventurers was held back, so they wouldn't be able to benefit from the loot, but it turned out that the goblins had been told where the Raskghar kept their very large sum of gold and gems and the goblins gifted it to the adventurers.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/12/25/5-49/ Chapter 5.49]</ref> This means that for this gift taxes wouldn't need to be payed to the guild, the lottery wouldn't need to be followed, and Selys would get her own share of 30% of the Halfseeker's loot because [[Jelaqua Ivirith|Jelaqua]] was wearing the Heartflame Breastplate.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/12/5-52/ Chapter 5.52]</ref> |}
