[Video]
[Gundham starts the video as he sets up his phone looking out onto an empty stretch of grass as he props the phone up on a stump. He sets a large basket down as he steps back and takes a steadying breath, still not quite comfortable with such broadcasts, but making it anyway.]
So, I've been thinking long and hard about how to bring more money into my animal shelter and stable to better fund the upkeep of it, and I believe I have struck upon something.
[He crouches down and pulls what looks like a miniature pumpkin with a large D painted on its side in dark purple paint.]
I've recently gained access to plant based magic as well as curses, hexes, and the like. As such I've decided to try and combine the two and...
[He turns away from the camera and tosses the pumpkin into the clearing behind him. As it hits the ground, it explodes into a cloud of what appears to be purple mist for half a second.]
I've managed to breed a unique strain of miniature gourd with seeds that cause the gourd to burst when thrown, and placed a curse of darkness on them as well. Any caught in the cloud will have their vision darkened as if it were midnight for roughly thirty seconds.
[As he speaks he picks up another one and tosses the gourd for a similar demonstration.] I've found it an effective way to shake off pursuers, when venturing into the forests. The only requirement I am going to enforce on its purchase is some kind of proof that you are venturing into dangerous territory for a quest.
After all, I cannot simply sell such weapons to anyone.
[There's a pause before Gundham glances at something off screen, making a face as if trying to get something to do what it was told before a bear paw could be seen swing into frame before launching the phone much to Gundham's... frustration. Thankfully the phone lands and ends the feed less than a second later.]

[Gundham is very insistent on the defensive part.]
There is no combustion involved, so that even if thrown directly at someone or something the most that would be felt aside from the temporary blindness is a slight pressure.
[At the proposal though Gundham considers a bit.] I believe they could. I produced these by placing a curse on the vine they grew on. Planting such a cursed vine around the borders of a field or some such would produce such gourds that would burst when stepped on.
As for my stables, at the moment I only have horses stabled here. As part of the arrangement that established this shelter and stable, I help with the care and training of steeds for Camelot's knights. The shelter itself currently houses a small family of foxes whose den was caved in, a couple owls I found injured that I am nursing back to health, and a fox separate from the other family that has seemingly adopted me. There are also a couple of goats, and likely some rabbits making their home nearby.
[Gundham is a busy man.]

[Also awwww animals :3]
Are they shy? Not the horses, the others. You might be able to fund care and feed by showing them to people, especially children, so they can better understand how to respect and identify the animals as well. And you could try making photo prints to sell of them too.

[After all, how does an edgelord keep his reputation if he runs a petting zoo? Truly the most eternal of conundrum.]
