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.
...She makes a surprisingly good point.

This conversation ends with Salgar Irevotnin teleporting to Nidal, doesn't it.
Really, it's his own fault for being halfway competent.
Eight words resound in the Vault, untrained ears hear but do not hear them.
Nearly six-thousand eyes blink in unison as the world contracts to a point and expands again.
To the highly sensitive, greater teleport announces itself with an unechoing staccato note and a flicker of light too quick to properly register.
To the insensitive, the spell presents as a sudden sense of 'hey what was that.' Usually followed by the erroneous conclusion 'it must have been that person who appeared in my peripheral vision or behind me.'
It's Lord Ornelos!
Everyone, look, it's LORD TOFF ORNELOS!
Where have you been?
It's tedious enough schooling that fraction of a fraction of the world's stupid people who are kind enough to pay him for it.
Where's Field Marshall Cressida Kroft? She wanted Toff to put up a magnificent mansion.

Ileosa fired her and appointed a paramour.
And she's, what, appointed a lover to high office while Eodred's body cools?

Toff Ornelos is gone for nine hours and this is what happens.
He thought Kroft was supposed to keep these things from happening.
Isn't that her job? He's pretty sure that's supposed to be her job.
Not being the Field Marshall never stopped her before she got the position.
He'd know. She was a fucking busybody.
Lord Ornelos intends to give her a piece of his mind.
Cressida Kroft had better be bedridden with a single-digit strength score, there is no other excuse he'll accept from her.
Where is she, anyway?
Cressida Kroft woke him up in the middle of the night to make sure that he prepared that spell.
He prepared it.
He gets three seventh-circle spells per day and one of them is mage's magnificent mansion.
