As the four of you reach Salem’s office he turns to you ‘‘Tea, anyone?’’ and he opens the door. The room appears to be larger than it should be with a large desk in the center and a space off to the left with comfortable looking chairs and a small kitchen off to the right. Salem walks over to one of the chairs and sits down. ‘‘Malik tea for our guests and I.’’ Salem says, and a magical being appears out of nowhere and starts to boil water for tea.
‘‘Come now, sit friends. I would love to hear all of your stories before we get started and, more importantly, answer any questions you may have about me.’’ he gives you all a welcoming smile
The ethereal looking creature brings you ginger tea ‘‘A necromancer eh? We don’t come across many of those anymore.’’ he sips his tea ‘‘As for your question on how we have survived, it is only due to the fact the paladins can’t risk an attempt at a raid on us just yet.’’
Yuno sits down on the chair closest to her and says, "I could use some tea to wash down the two slices of cake I had. I'll take you up on the tea offer, boss-man."
Yuno reclines back, arms crossed and bouncing one leg on top of another, "My story? Well it's nothing too interesting really. I had a pretty normal and good childhood growing up. No complaints." She says nodding her head, " Then my sister was killed by bandits; I realized that murder was my passion; started killing things in the woods; killed one homeless dude in the town I grew up in; got a guard showing up in my house; killed him too. Then I killed my parents and stole my dad's weapons." She clarifies in a lower voice, "He was a pretty good blacksmith." Then she continues talking about herself, "Aaaaand this brings me here. I heard I can find evil people here who might want to go kill things with me and be friends." She then draws her bastard sword, a slim weapon with a darker blade. She moves it around slowly to show it off and says, "My dad made this sword. Pretty neat huh?" Then she sheathes it again.
Finally she asks the question, " My question would be... when do I get to go out and kill something?"
The blue creature also brings you tea, mint tea. ‘‘Haha! You my little friend are going to LOVE Brenna, she is currently out on a mission but, she has a strong passion for killing, always going on about how she is going to be the strongest. Anyway, to answer your question, soon.’’
‘‘A little of both but, before we get into the boring details, I would like to hear from our other two friends and see if they have any questions for me.’’
As the four of you reach Salem’s office he turns to you ‘‘Tea, anyone?’’
"I'll pass." It's hard to judge just by looking at his armour but the dark knight really isn't into anything right now besides the mission. Despite his intimidating looks though, Zelgius right now doesn't want to cause a fight. "I don't have any questions right now, sir. I'll just wait until everyone else is done with speaking about their past and get straight to the mission." He speaks with a firm, but relaxed tone. He listens to Yuno and Roloth's backstories and was a little intrigued by what they went through. But then again... Their miserable lives were nothing compared to what I had to fight for.

‘‘Ah, the strong silent type. You my friend should see a therapist’’ he chuckles a little. ‘‘What about you friend? Do you have any questions for me, I heard your story when I got back.’’ he looks to Rowan.
‘‘Ah, the strong silent type. You my friend should see a therapist’’ he chuckles a little.
"Very funny, sir." He chuckles since he know what he meant. Underneath his calm demeanour though he is almost about to blow up. It wasn't as aggressive as he thought, the organisation. Everyone was looking laid back like they had finished a daily shift. Or maybe it's because they haven't gone out for a mission to delight themselves yet... Who knows. But either way, Zelgius is looking for revenge with potential teammates to assist him, not a place where villains get to relax like there's no tomorrow.
‘‘Just so your all aware, I can sense all of your emotions.’’ he looks directly at you Zelgius ‘‘I understand you may not want to share your past but, it would really help me make your life enjoyable. Is their something you would like to say, no hard feelings here.’’
Yuno sips her tea. Mint tea isn't her most favorite but she figures after the two slices of cake she ate, it'd be better for her physique than the very sweet milk-tea she likes. Can't kill things well if she gets fat.
Listening to the dark knight speak, all business-like, she leans closer to Roloth and whispers, " Hey Sushi-Roll, I'm gonna call you Sushi-Roll now by the way, Is it me or is Mr. Dark Night over there as serious as a skin rash?"
‘‘I understand you may not want to share your past but, it would really help me make your life enjoyable. Is their something you would like to say, no hard feelings here.’’
"Alright fine." He deadpans firmly, stands up and slams Alondite to the ground so hard it nearly breaks part of the floor. "If you want to know I'll speak for myself. I thought this place was like a serious sort-of organisation where every individual with haunted pasts ally to wreak havoc on the greater good with their rage, bloodlust, instability or whatever. I wasn't expecting this to be a laid back community where people are nice and friendly. Everywhere I go I never meet people that are like this. I was thinking that there would be people with similar, aggressive intentions to mine here as well. That's why I didn't like to mess around as I entered this place, or rather, I'd preferred to meet people that have mentally hardened throughout their lives. Isn't that how us villains are portrayed as to the entire world anyway?" He then plucks the sword out and sheaths it back before sitting down again.
‘‘We are a community who protect each other.’’ he says seemingly annoyed ‘‘You want to see bloodlust, friend?’’ I need you to make a wisdom saving throw.
As you say that, the room around you disappears. You are in the middle of a vast empty space all you can see is the sky. Your hands are bound to the ground and you are on your knees. All your armor and weapons have vanished.
‘‘Do you want to know why I run things around here? Because I can do this’’
You feel something puncture your chest, over and over. This goes on for what feels like hours. Then you're back in the room. Please take 24 physic damage.
"Well I liked what you did there, I'll admit." He smiles under his helmet. Obviously he had endured worse than this but still. "But that aside, I'm not here to cause any trouble. I'm just surprised, that's all. I have no intentions of exposing this to the 'greater good', let alone ally with them. If everyone in this room is going to achieve the same ambitions in terms of the organisation's then of course I'm in."

Yuno sips her tea and says, unaware of the psychic attack that Zelgius just endured, "People can have aggressive intentions but they don't have to be serious all the time. Wreaking havoc on the world sounds like a blast and I have bloodlust in spades. Nobody said we can't do that while also having a blast and living life. Smell the flowers." She lowers her voice again to add more clarification to what she just said mid-speech, "and then crush those flowers to a pulp" Then she goes by to speaking normally without missing a beat. This is what it probably looks like when someone uses parenthesis when speaking, "eat some cake, enjoy some hot chocolate. I like to watch the world burn as much as the next guy but you wanna know what's more fun than watching the world burn? Watching the world burn while also partying with friends!"
Yuno halfheartedly moves her arms up and down to emphasis "partying" but she ends up spilling hot tea on her face and yells, "AHHHHH! Ouch! Oof! Ouch! Ow!"
"Finally!" Yuno gets up follows the boss to the office.

"Save that for when we go out and terrorize the people for what they've done to us." He replies, unfazed.
