And a consecrate if you have one handy.

We can just pop home and let Lya throw one up.

I'm so proud of us.

Another thing to note is that, should we make trade deals, we should definitely bring up the Xorn and make sure they get a decent cut.
Standing by your allies and being fair to them is always good in negotiations, especially with Lawful Lawful Shaitans.

Okay then. I want my own gold vault here

Don't worry, we'll have our own 'gravel mine' soon enough, then we can take all that horrible useless metal that's cluttering up the place and put it to good use far far away from those good and decent earth folk.

It's practically a public service really.

@DragonParadox, the bandwagon is strong with this one.

Also @Azel, we can't quite just pop back home, then come back here so easily. Interdiction wards. There's no way that the Opaline Vault doesn't have some that make Winterfell's in its hayday look like a rusting pile of barbed wire fencing.

We can probably easily get directions to a sufficiently holy site though.

 

[BeepSmile]

Oh!

@Azel, getting put in touch with a curse-breaker to hire their services! Way better than rolls and having to diplomacy and time!

Like, even just a mention.

Edit: @Crake - they probably have a teleport zone or even just able to tell us where the wards end. Reasonable information for high level mage travellers

I don't think this is a good moment to ask for directions. We can just ask the majordomo on our way out.

Not only that but it reflects really well on us.

Put your faith in us and we'll reward any good fortune we have right back at you.

Viserys, great friend to have, even worse enemy to cross.

 

[Crake]

Yeah, we can do that later. Though uh... our burny-ness is probably pretty obvious, given the bad voodoo attached to it.

I can't imagine she'd allow her guest to sit through a dinner while being half crisped defending her House's interests and scion.

At least add in about seeking the services of a curse-breaker if she know's one that she can recommend. We know that one will have had their schedule free up unexpectedly.

Zanira: "I know it's a bit rude, but... your soul seems slightly singed."
Viserys: *waves it off* "Don't worry. I had worse."
Richard: "How much I would prefer it, if he was just boasting."

@Scribbler Thank you. I was about to beta for him, but I like a man who goes after punctuation with the same tenacity as typos.

 

[Duesal]

Guys, I already sent him edits. He's just out right now, that's why the update isn't fixed.

 

[The crazy demon]

Huh, if we level up we could use our Blood Wish to cast that Consecrate?

 

[Crake]

Perhaps to help draw attention from her closest friend, or perhaps simply because however changed she still enjoys attention Glyra takes her true shape and introduces herself grandly: "Glyra, Greatest Gremlin in the World... Worlds," after a short pause she adds. "Probably the nicest one too."

Click to shrink...

I love how even Viserys sees it.

Maelor is both cursed and blessed in friendship. Only boy of twelve to gain power just by being in the vicinity of legends, fought beside them against stuff way out of his league, and lived to tell the tale.

And his best friend is the worlds' strongest gremlin.

 

[Azel]

I would like to add that I'm inordinately proud that we can go even to the Opaline Vault, a major planar metropolis, and still weird out the locals with our party.

 

[Scribbler]

Finding yourself at last in need of introductions you are struck by indecision uncommon to your nature.

Click to shrink...

Heh. Can't say I'm happy with the outcome of that vote myself.

@Azel I like your phrasing on the new vote but I find it lacking in substance. We decline material rewards, reveal that we're a ruler in our own right (of an unspecified realm), and say all we want is friendship. Which we should already have, though I understand that stressing it carries different connotations. But what form is that friendship going to take, other than not being an outright alliance? This feels like we're deferring any real decisions to the next vote... again.

Yes, I think actually adding something that interests us, at least in the abstract, would be good. Even just trade connections to start.

You're right but we kinda need to see the reaction to Surprise King first.
