[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 9269328, member: 6696971"] [I]* Naaphid agrees happily to your request. * He lets you know that he's already sent runners far and wide to spread your tale of "regulating in the stands." He thinks this should do good work to impress upon the citizenry the need to quarter The Legion in a "quarantined" location that should cater to, and isolate, the bulk of their violent proclivities. * He gifts you with Brimstone Spirits as a token of his thanks for your intercession.[/I] [HR][/HR] Complexity 2 SC, Level 13 SC.

His attendants (scrivener hard at work on dictation, lyre player softly strumming) fall back at your entrance and his mixed-company retinue of guards advances. Though he wears his blind eyes like a trophy, a Vezzuvian Soothsayer flanks him, a crucible of molten gold delivering portents and deciphering the truth behind visual cues that Bita-Bahlin can no longer partake of.
