Almost everyone. With a quick prayer to Myrristra, Clotbert threw a radiant bolt of holy energy over Fingers’ head and straight to the demon. It was a simple but effective spell, with the additional benefit of guiding Clotbert’s next attack. He also made sure that he channeled enough divine energy to make it count. And count it did, for while the demon failed to connect with any of its talons, Clotbert’s next strike was straight on the demon’s head. The result however was disappointing as the demon’s natural resistances mitigated the damage. Still it was such a well-aimed strike that it gave the demon pause. It was all BoldItalic could ask for, for he had recovered from the supernatural attack. With a quick spell, he filled the air around the demon with spinning magical blades, slashing it with a thousand cuts and then again directed the light from the vase towards the creature. That was the last straw and so the foul, twisted being fled.In a corridor not far away though…“You are being mean Rylni, mean. How many times do I have to tell you and in how many ways? Daddy likes you, he wouldn’t want his little poppet to get sad.”“See, this is what I am talking about, who talks like that, ‘Rylni’, ‘daddy’, ‘poppet’, what is this?. You are a woman, not a child. Start using full names. You are going to be a responsible ruler, the lives of the people in your hands, we should be serious about it.”“But everything is all right, father is…”“Your father is keeping you away from the affairs of state, keeps encouraging you not to start acting like the strong woman I know you really are and he keeps you from getting married out of fear that he will have to share power. He is not looking for suitors for you, he is looking for pawns to further his own plans and for puppets to do the dirty work for him.”“But he has presented me with a lot of suitors to choose from and…”“And what? Have you ever really chosen? Or is there always a quest first, a quest that coincidentally aligns with your father's current interests? And of course at some point the all too promising suitor meets his sad and untimely end. But daddy is always there, caring and eagerly looking for the next suitor. But let’s also not forget the next quest too.”“But Rylnethaz that would make me…”“Yes, a bait! The most beautiful bait ever but still a bait.” Then Rylnethaz thought to himself, ‘but this will not have to go on forever, I will see to it, even if we start as if I have accepted the king’s terms. I have to talk to BoldItalic at once, we have a lot to do. And what was that noise anyway, it reminded me of a Vrock screeching. I hope Fingers is not ransacking the room of my future wife.’</blockquote>
