He should have fallen on his sword. That would have been the sensible thing to do.
Punched his ticket for Elysium right away, no waiting around.
He thought they'd only kill him.
Why did he think that? How stupid was he? Why in the world did he think that?
And now instead of his next great adventure he's flubbed a save against dominate person.
Fucking NECROMANCER.
This is all the fault of those ACADAMAE WIZARDS!
The first shadow escaped THEIR foul Hall of Whispers!
The first shadow escaped Abadar's Vault. Blame Him.
I last inspected the Hall of Whispers' level 4 necrosafety lab not a month ago.
I would love to tell you that a breach of containment would categorically have been impossible.
However, I cannot.
The safety precautions are adequate for the creatures which are kept there, in the absence of human error. But I was not reassured in my visit, regarding the possibility for human error.
What I can say is that there were no shadows kept in the Hall of Whispers as of my surprise visit, and if a shadow had escaped our control, it would have more likely begun its attack in the Heights.
They admit it! They admit that a shadow escaped their evil fucking school and that's what started this all!
Julaei Cangi has well over an hour left on her heroism and will patiently explain how that is not what she said.
The Shoanti Sun Shamans sicced it on us, in retaliation for King Eodred's reasonable - even generous! - oh, how it boils my blood!
Hey! Shoanti horse-fucker, are you loyal to your savage Sun Shamans, or to the Crimson Throne?
Kroft will stand too, in case she needs to get between them.
That's pretty much the effect he was going for, if more effective than he'd hoped!
Par will scoff dramatically, roll his eyes, and sit back down.
Ditto, buddy.
...Or at least a moderately powerful guy-who-likes-you-markedly-less-than-his-already-high-base-rate-for-not-liking-people, for the next short while, until I forget that you exist.
What was your name again?
Gentlemen, please.
Lord Ornelos, the next time you give offense I will have to escort you from the room.
And Lieutenant Vault Captain, please trust my ability to moderate the discussion.
...
Kroft chooses not to look around the room and see if anyone else is reeling.
Well.
Hopefully Ileosa was just persnickety about the phrasing, and won't try to moderate Kroft's moderation if she's careful not to imply that she's in charge of anything.
Because otherwise, things might get hairy.
If the ex Field Marshall isn't moderating the discussion, probably that means that no one is?
Oh for crying aloud!
Is Orianna Delmore not allowed to so much as smile without Cangi and Irevotnin scowling at her?
Right!
Anyway.
If you think of something to say, please speak up - or, if you don't want to interrupt someone who is speaking, write it down!
Have paper from my Bag of Holding!
Have pens!
At this point in the process, there's no such thing as a stupid idea.
