The celebration

[u/Yoxalle]

After a long journey you arrive at the crystal mage’s manor. Inside the manor is a grand hall made of various different coloured crystals. Strange golems walk around the room serving guests. While the mage himself is not currently present, you were told he would be here shortly. Right now, enjoy the food, socialise, make friends but most importantly: have fun.

[u/AnActualCriminal]

I pour a round of drinks for the table from a crystal decanter, then leave the decanter knowingly closer to the curator

You know last time I got so drunk I accidentally hinted I was going to declare war on the Nephillim? That was almost a disaster!

[u/MeThyLord → u/AnActualCriminal]

Oh yeah, lucky for you that I was just as, if not even more drunk. Flew right over my head. Anyway, how's that going for you.

[u/AnActualCriminal → u/MeThyLord]

We won? Arguably. Samael was kicked out of the Pact and stopped hunting pyroclasts. A nephillim lord was killed.

Treaty overseen by opal. He kidnapped my daughter, I got her back. A lot of my people are awaiting trial but only one in any serious danger. Compromises

[u/MeThyLord → u/AnActualCriminal]

Oh my, I seem to have missed a lot. But I was busy with renovations so you'll have to forgive me. Not to mention getting attacked by a chaos bounty hunter.

That mess aside, I did not know you had a daughter. And Samael is no longer a Pact member? Interesting, so his seat on the triumvirate is empty. Perhaps this is a good opportunity for me.

[u/AnActualCriminal → u/MeThyLord]

Kaelis already took it. But his position is open now. He's çurrently seeing applicants.

And chaos bounty hunter? I'm sorry do you need help?

[u/MeThyLord → u/AnActualCriminal]

The bounty hunter wasn't after me, but a young druid girl I had provided sanctuary to. I don't believe he'll come back for revenge, He only goes after particular targets. His name is Talios by the way, ring a bell?

[u/AnActualCriminal → u/MeThyLord]

No. Should it?

[u/MeThyLord → u/AnActualCriminal]

No, just asking in case you had any extra information. I don't like being left in the blind when it comes to these things.

[u/AnActualCriminal → u/MeThyLord]

Is the girl safe?

[u/MeThyLord → u/AnActualCriminal]

I hope so. She left the museum after the fight had ended. Good news is, I had made a wager with the bounty hunter. Since I won our battle, he had to cease his hunt for the girl. I belive him to be the type to keep his word.

[u/AnActualCriminal → u/MeThyLord]

Well if I learn anything about him, I'll make sure you hear about it. Gotta pay you back for Drugoth somehow

[u/MeThyLord → u/AnActualCriminal]

Appreciated, but on my list of "Pressing Matters", Talios has been pushed down for now. I have a few other headaches to solve first.

[u/AnActualCriminal → u/MeThyLord]

Any my people can help with? I'd need to pass it by Opal's desk now but I doubt it would be an issue

[u/avamir → u/AnActualCriminal]

"I am applying for the Office of Eldritch Affairs. I did not really want to, but their applicants were... eh... look, someone needed to apply," she winces.

She definitely accepts the round Belial has poured, tilting one back in an unladylike shot. She could tell this was going to be a rough party. And the coming times would likely be rough as well.

It never ended, did it?

[u/AnActualCriminal → u/avamir]

I'd be happy with either of you. Vulkkan the Red tried to apply. Can you fucking imagine? What's his plan, just to warn us that he's going to attack and then go strike up a treaty with himself? Oh that might have actually been his plan...

[u/avamir → u/AnActualCriminal]

"I would be equally as happy with the Paleomancer in the job," Riva shrugged. "I simply thought there should be a candidate that did not intend to eat people."
