When last we left our intrepid heroes, you had just met a fancy lawyer and were about to be marched off by the slendercommittee to who knows where
( Read more... )
Baal-Berith and the slendercommittee lead the way (or . . . well, "lead" is subjective, as the snappily-dressed gentlemen walk on either sides of the group, with several behind as well) down a narrow cobblestone road, winding through what appears to be a remarkably empty area of the city. You can smell and hear and sense movement and chaos down below and up above-see the occasional flitting wings, or hear a loud screech or growl. Over it all is this everpresent rumbling, like it never gets quiet, ever. Occasionally, the ground beneath your feet rattles slightly, as if something deep beneath the earth is heaving, making pebbles shudder and clatter across your path.
You make your way to a large, pillared building set into the rocky cliff face, dominated by an enormous set of fanned stairs-large enough that the majority of you have to lift your foot almost to your knee to get up to the next step. And there are hundreds of them-dwarfing you to the size of a speck of dust

"Well!" Baal-Berith says cheerfully, dusting his hands off as they reach the towering double-doors, the massive balcony leading into the embassy. "I should warn you now, that just inside, you're all going to have to sign a few things!

"Once that's taken care of, we'll be splitting up for today and reconvening in about ten hours~ ♥ You will be summoned. In the meantime, those that are coming with me will be put to work, and I'll only take a few of you~ Those that are acting as witnesses summoned to court may spend their time as they see fit! Though I'd caution you against wandering too far~ you'll also all have bedrooms if you choose to use them, but I doubt you'll get too tired down here, or find the beds very comfortable. ♥"
