He does find need to drink idly throughout, however, at least to prevent sobering up too much. This is notably the case during the climactic peaks of Merith’s “tragic love story”.“Well ain’t that one sorry sob story, lover boy. You’ll have to forgive that I’m not misting up over here but I forgot my handkerchief in the gutter.”“Your perspective on the nature of that body you’ve hijacked certainly explains a lot about the original owner. I always figured that no woman could possibly give birth to something as deranged as that mage. Turns out I was right.”Woe lounges on one of the sarcophagi, feet in the face of whoever is depicted on the lid.“So this dame of yours, I presume she knew of and accepted your goblinoid nature? You didn’t keep up cosmetic-flavoured magic funny business on her account? How do you think she’d react to an eternal unlife with you in a fanged and twisted human body?”“Don’t get me wrong here, Romeo. I dig this deal and to some extent even like your style – I can definitely relate to drinking on someone else’s tab and entertaining housewives whose husbands can’t hold their drink. But you’re hiring us for an investigation, among other things, which involves tough questions. Them’s the breaks.”[sblock=OOC]Wow, that was a one-post novel, Cov. Great stuff! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I presume the L'irkash (to Woe’s knowledge) are all human and don’t have hobgoblin blood in their lineage?Oh, and Merith probably doesn’t know this, but given the connection between Dod and his (now lost) creation, he may be too depowered to be of use to the vampire. I guess there’s no reason why potential technical details on that nature shouldn’t be handwaveable, though.You mean <s>Juliet</s> Aleana, of course. Though I’m sure Woe could find use for a god-killing potion. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
