"I see..." They think about stuff. "So... um... how is the material?"
"The same as it was before, I spend most my time here anyways, as I have to guide the souls from here do I not?"
"Indeed... Do you like guiding souls?"
"Its fulfilling, my job as a Reaper."
"Mmm... I see. I used to have the same view on serving gods, but now one of them gave me free will....... So what do you do? Do you kill them or wait till their death?"
"I do not bring death, I only guide the souls who have had it come already, guiding them to the fugue plane for them to be judged."
"Cool. How long does that usually take?"
"An hour, give or take."
"Interesting... Is there a chain of command or something? Sorry if I am being obxnious."
"Its small, its the devotees to Kelemvor, including Reapers, under the Angels & Devas of Kelemvor, & then Kelemvor himself. Now it is not too obnoxious you asking these questions, but I am growing tired of them for as of now."

"Cause the Queen decided i wasn't worth keeping alive. You didn't even bother listening to me when you tried to kill me."
Hunter nods, patting the seat beside him, "Sit down please."
"Leaving the court was proof enough" she said "Turning your back on a family"
She walks nervously over, sitting down.
"My family? I was shot in the back and had to drag myself out of the feywild." He says, his voice low, "Don't give me that [gp] about family."
Hunter hugs her with one arm, "You are a nice person."
"You right" she said "because your not part of it anymore." Her cold words seem to form like ice.
"..." she nods silently, maybe slightly afriad.
"Yeah, i figured that out," He says, fastening his mask tighter than usual, the air growing colder, "You aren't my friend anymore. You and that fox are just another one of Tatiana's pawns, ones i'm knocking off the board." He says
"Are you ok lore? You can tell me whats on your mind if you'd like"
"I need the tail spikes for an experiment, perhaps taking the poison out of them to make my own kind"
She huffed. "And you were worried about me. It seems like I would end up protecting you on an actual adventure."
He chuckles "Ive lived this long, i just forgot to protect myself because i was so busy trying to make sure you didnt get hurt"
"You were hurt before I got here." She pointed out.
"yes yes" he said and waved it off. He walked over to the tail and grinned from ear to ear "Perfection"
She rolled her eyes and got up, walking off to find her dagger that she threw.
(if) She comes back, she see's Stroth bent down by a now cut up neatly tail, taking measurements on the spines on a scale, testing their weight, length, etc.

"Forgive the mess, I am trying to regain my sanity again."
Noctus walks up. "Hi! Do you want to do something, friend?"
"Sure! Want do you want to do?" Raphael says, shifting to a lizard form
"Whatever you want! We could play a prank on Lumen and her friend. They chased me out of the library in daddy's lair."
"Why did they do that?"
"I don't know. Lumen can be mean sometimes."
"Sounds like it, but revenge is not a good emotion to have... Sorry if I am boring some times..." They think for a while, "Want to show me your hoard?"
"Sure! There's a portal to my mom's lair nearby, and then a portal to my dad's lair from there!"
"Sure. I will follow your lead." They say, climbing onto the youngling
He leads them to the void wall, where a small portal leads through to a massive stone room with amazingly intricate and carved pillars. Oblivious to the ancient masterwork, Noctus leaps through one of the hundreds of portals that line the walls, emerging into Phantom's lair.
Raphael follows silently. "So we are friends right?"
"Yep!" Noctus leads Raphael down a passageway into a defensible stone room with weapons and various gems and coins scattered around.
"Mmm... I never think I've had a friend before..." They say, interested in the gems and disturbed by the weapons
"I haven't either!" The gems are more cosmetic (versus Lumen's, which are more practical for use in spellcasting). The weapons, though, are top quality and occasionally enchanted masterpieces.
"Do all you do is like to fight?" They say, hit by a tinge of guilt
"No, it's just interesting. More interesting than the stuffy old books Lumen likes."
"Mmm... I can see that. So, what should I do as a friend? I'm... kinda new to all this stuff."
"I don't know... hang out? Play pranks? Tease Lumen? I'm new to this too..."
"Mmm... Well if we are going to be friends you have to understand that 1. I am riddled with doubt (sometimes), and 2. I won't hurt anyone... We could prank someone. Is your sister someone who enjoys being scared?"
"OK. Ooo, yeah, she LOVES being scared." DC 10 insight check to see that he's lying about that.
29
He OBVIOUSLY is lying. Lumen is probably the opposite, considering how malicious Noctus' grin is.
Raphael frowns. "Please don't lie to me about that. And if she doesn't like to be scared then she doesn't and I won't. Its one thing if you prank her for fun and games. Its another if it gives her nightmares."
"She'll be fine... She does it to me!"
"So?"
"...It's a twin thing, pranking."
Raphael is gripped by doubt and guilt. "And... all will be forgiven in the end? Like... part of me would love to do it, a part that just awoke after I got my independence. But another part of me worries what if I become fueled by revenge and start to enjoy the misery of others..."
"Yeah, eventually it will be forgotten... generally it goes back and forth, like she pranks me, I prank her, she pranks me, I prank her, etc.?"
"Mmm..." After a long while, she relents. "Fine, so what is she afraid of?"
"Hmm... her books being damaged, but if we did that she'd kill us... maybe we could put something into her cushions? Or we could move her books around when she's not there, so she doesn't know where her stuff is..."
"I mean animal wise. Like is she afraid of giant crabs? Spiders?"
"Ooo! She doesn't like bookworms, because they eat paper!"
"Mmm... I could shapeshift into a giant book worm to scare her."
"Yes! Be careful, though... we're not in the Tavern safety zone, and sometimes Lumen can be SCARY!"
"Mmm... You sure this is all in the spirit of fun?"
