Slap TFF on the back of his head

It's mine now, for the win


Red hair is a vanishing fad, you lose.


Pokes the gnome in his ear for the win.

"Hey boss, I just insulted the infernal inquirer at the front door, some big wig from the NIne Hells and guess what? He's looking for some politican or a mercahnt, Actually, I think he come for his soul. Sad thing is, his intent is deathly serious. Shall I let the security know who to look for?"

Saeroth follows.

"Heh heh, sounds like you could use my help...get it? 'Deathly serious'? 'Cause I'm a maraenoloth? Heh...nevermind,. So what did the helljerk want?"
You're not my boss and What business is it of yours?" snides the half-elf.

Saeroth glares at him. Shadowy mist begisn to circle around him, faster and faster, tiny little bolts of lightning coming out of it. His eyes glow blue with power.

"FOOL! I am Saeroth, Underlord of Yugoloths, Servant of Charon! He Who Destroys Memory! Master of the Styx! Show respect, mongrel!"
The mist clears and Saeroth is back to normal.
"I mean, jeez. I wouldn't kill you to just show a teeny-tiny bit of politeness. I was just asking a question."

"Nice theatrics. But you'll know when the boss is done. Right now I do not wnat to distrub him while he's in private discussion."

Well contractually I'm not supposed to disclose it, unless asked, but since you do ask, the fiend smiles, apparently enjoying himself, the alias he is more commonly known by these days is Gumbal Merryweather, and he is a politician. It's not the name he signed in blood on his contract, of course, when he sold his soul to us some years back, and which contract, incidentally, is how we can be so certain that he is here at the moment.

If he fails to turn up for work, within the period I mentioned, he will be in potential breach of his contract, and we will be entitled to send fiends with knives and hooks - my apologies, did I really just say that? - I mean with well-reasoned arguements to find out just why he has been detained. Quite a few fiends, I would say, looking at the size of this place. In the event of such an investigation proving necessary we would be prepared to pay out whatever value our experts put on any damage done during it, although the paperwork might take some years to sort out and such a payout would not be inflation linked...

"And if this politician chooses to seek asylum, there will be a lengthy review. The Sanctum has been known to function as an embassy on a case-by-case basis. Your contract would be invalid here."

His symbol of chaos flares slightly then subsides.

Nstrivaxon gets the impression that Corin would like do nothing more than throw a monkey wrench, or several, into his contract.

"My employer has been known to go through "paperwork" and other troublesome irritations with his fist, an axe, or both... All for a good cause. So leave your "knives and hooks" at home. No one likes bloodshed on a vacation, unless of course you're orcish."

"Until then, you may wait here or return at an appointed time with my employer's permission. I shall inform my employer of the situation."

Brain and eyes are going numb and I'm off to work shortly. I am off all day tomorrow barring any unseen events. I will back on-line tonight, after work of course.


Nstrivaxon, the Cunning wrote:
Message? Well yes. We in the infernal regions are a bit concerned about a Bazaar employee of ours who appears to have taken an unplanned holiday to this place, and we would like to see him back at his desk in the Bazaar within the next three days. You can relay that message to your master. He should know what we mean.

"Does this merchant or emplyee have a name? We cannot find him if we does not know who he or she looks like."

He's been greeted in the past by chaos-beasts flanked by death slaadi, so a little chaos symbol is a minor social affront which says to him that you're likely being deliberately rude, but not that shocking.

That's the general idea. Corin's a worshipper of random chance and good fortune. Screwing with a devil, a soul collector no less under the intent of law is too good for him to pass up, or even shake up just a bit.

Nstrivaxon, the Cunning wrote:

He stops counting under his breath.

Dear me. You do take your time here to answer the door. I trust that your guests on vacation are not so treated?

"Only the infernal ones," he says with a strained smile. "My Lord and employer is occupied with an investigation. If you have a message, I can relay it to him with do haste."


Nstrivaxon, the Cunning wrote:

Resplendent in infernal regalia a high-ranking fiend strolls up to the gates of the Sanctum of the Sun. He politely pulls the bell-pull at the gates, then stands back a couple of paces to wait.

The gate opens and Nstrivaxon sees a lightly armored half-elf flanked by two gravity elementals. "Yes, how can we be of service."

The fiend sees the symbol of chaos, an embelm actually, pinned to the left of his chest.

He pauses in mid-step and send out a telepathic message. "It seems something diabolical has arrived on my doorstep." He frowns a discerning look. "Corin, Answer the front door. Under no circumstance allow him to enter the Sanctum. And do not enter negoliations with him. Given the fact they like to pervert law towards their own end, you may end loosing more than your soul."

"Gotcha boss. I have my symbol of chaos dispalyed and ready, plus an assortment of hidden knives and swords of chaos too."


.... wrote:

The cloaked figure reappears. He seems to examine the area for a moment.

"The Kobold Cleaver has been dealt with."

"Buddy, you missed the party." He sheaths his swords. "Who's Kobold Cleaver?"


Stepping out from HoD's visual periphery, stands a rather paculiar half-elf with two soulforged swords. He swings at Hod, one blade aiming for his throat and the other for his torso.

Here you are sir!

Delivers a Dark&Stormy to Corin

Thanks. Haven't you know, ever transformed into a motorcycle or large robotic dinosaur?


"Man, I feel so left out.... I think I'll try a Dark and Stormy. Where's that droid?"


Even before the droid makes his move has a room key in his hand. He follows JH LJ upstairs.


Corin slides sideways into the sanctum unfretted by wards or other magical defenses.

I'm not sure. I think my grandfather will be here soon. He was at the place of the winds. He was trying to help. But I'm not sure if he even knows what I am supposed to do.

Corin, you're right. We shouldn't leave the Sanctum unguarded. I want to stay here. The positive energy of this place helps. But you can feel free to go back if you need to.

"I await your return." He Looks at her and Alaina then depart through a portal of his own devising.


Alaina, the Fire Flower wrote:

Alaina tries to make her comfortable

I don't know Lyn. You are the Champion of the Winds. Maybe your grandfather knows a safe way to tether you essence to the power of wind directly?

What can I do to help? Doyou think its wise to leave the sanctum unguarded? Oh wait a minute?


Alaina, the Fire Flower wrote:

Alaina gathers her friend, making her as comfortable as possible.

Quick! Everyone go to the Grove!

She runs through the omniportal

Corin follows.


I'm off to bed. It's comic book day, so I'll be up this afternoon.

Watch out for internet virii.


Alaina, the Fire Flower wrote:

Alaina greets the new arrival

Welcome! We are always happy to have a Sun God believer here! Welcome to our counsel!

He smiles.

Yea! Boss told me about you. Wow! you're hot in person.

Her previous divine patroness was not so good about providing things like help and support, she said in response to the unasked question. I was just telling her that Sunny G wouldn't leave her hanging like that. There are a lot of things we'll need to fill you in on, but your timing couldn't be better.

This is good to know. I smelt the stench of an evil dragon as I approached the Sanctum. But I didn't see or feel a response from Sunny G. Just his usual telepathic summons. I can't help wonder what he doing? Are we going to find this dragon's horde and plunder it?

Jack Hammer wrote:
Greetings, Corin. It's good to have another ally.

I'm glad to be aboard. Sunny G wouldn't have summoned me unless it was serious, or if he needed something sneaky or underhand accomplished. Is it safe for me to say you're a golem, am I correct.


lynora-Jill wrote:
LJ can't help but smile as Corin gives his speech. It's a pleasure to meet you, Corin. With a smile, to Alaina, See, I told you.

Corin looks at Lynora with a puzzled, if somewhat amuded look on his face.


In walks an obvious half-elf, probably a sun elf judging by his golden blonde hair and lightly freckled complexion. He's dressed in well oiled studded leather draped in a simple cloak. The cloak is held into place securely by a brooch bearing the five sunrays, an obvious holy symbol of Sunny Godhead. His clothing is rugged, but his sturdy leather boots show signs of well worn travels and tribulations. He's armed obviously with two swords whose scabbards are draped in elvish runes. He obviously carry only those two arms, but his aura suggests he may carry more hidden magic.

This last sentence is for the characters and in the Sanctum at this time and for those who can see magical aura

"Is everybody here," in chimes a voice. "Sunny G gave me the word, telepathically, on the who's who. Greetings Lynora-Jill, pleasure to meet you. And you must be Alaina, my boss's new herald. He sure knows how to pick them beautiful. Pleasure to meet ya toots. My name is Corin Wisp and I'm Sunny G's personal problem solver, trouble-shooter and hatchet man."

He looks around. "Say the Boss has extravagant tastes. "I like the place and the crowds, except the vomit guy...."
"You must be Jack Hammer. Heard so much about you and the catapult."

Again, sorry for the late delays. I got incredibly sick last night all because I forgot to take my blood-sugar pill. Hopefully that won't happen tonight.
