"You believe this is enough to save your planet? You must be an idiot." His flesh fully regenerates. He clashes his hands against each other, and suddenly Benimaru sees the angel ripping his guts out and eating them. Insight check VS an Intimidation of 36. On a failure, he is nonmagically terrified.
When the vision fades, the angel stands before him, and the container is nowhere to be seen. "You will discover nothing. No freedom, no hope, only more suffering. I will not allow you to leech off my work. Collect some CENTER for yourself."
Insight:41 *If a success.*
He spins his mop and approaches, never breaking eye contact with him “I do not fear you, nor anything you can do to me. I will collect my own, and it starts with yours. If you can collect more I suggest you do before dying here. You may be an angel, but I burn with an inferno that even gods can’t withstand.” He puts the mop into the ground, and takes a combat stance “You have two options, do as I say, or die a painless death when you cleaved in two by my flames.”
The angel sighs. "You will gain nothing from this. Even if I die, you will find nothing but more suffering. You will be dead in your sin with nothing to show for it." He closes his eyes. "Please, for the love of all that is holy, reconsider. Even if you somehow find my CENTER, it cannot be recreated, and there is only enough for six people."
(Note: Azabrose is permanently under the effects of Sanctuary, but he turns it off for friendly fights. Also, whenever he takes damage, the attacker/caster takes 20 Radiant damage.)
“I gain enough from this, if you want to die then try and stop me. Six people is more than zero, and every person matters. Red Cresent Moon.” He moves his hand like a sunrise, a line of flame following him “I am willing to die in sin to save those who need it.”
Greasecure sighs. "Well, that was simple. Now I just need to think about what I could use an Archfey for..." He packs up and heads off.
Donn is running through the wood, trying to juggle a box of frosted moth wings, the flowers, and the ring box while summoning his cane to call for Egregore.
The wind begins to howl, a sure sign that the Egregore has been summoned. Smoke darts through the trees, looking for the source of the call.
Donn calks himself, taking a few deep breathes. "Egregore... Ever since I laid eyes on you, I knew I found a friend amongst the trees. Someone who thought like me, who saw the beauty in things others threw away. Every moment I am with you...well, it's akin to spending time with a god. Someone so radiant and caring, you make my dark world more sunny." He holds out the flowers and the ring box. "I saw you today, smiling at my children like they were your own. That made me so happy that I could've kissed you silly right there. I want you part of my family. I want to be by your side through thick and thin."
The shadows and smoke form into the Egregore, dressed in even finer clothes than he usually wears. Pink and platinum. His head is bowed, but he isn't fidgeting. "I'm afraid, Donn. I'm afraid you might be in love with me just because I showed you decency. Just because I love you. If this world were as good as it were meant to be, everyone would love you as much as I do. You are kind and strong and brave, and I am... I don't feel like any of those things. I'm too big for this world... and you love me despite my pointless fears and my distance and my confusion. You deserve the world, Donn. I don't know what I can do for you that you can't do for yourself. I want to be with you too, but what would I contribute? What if your children need you while you spend time loving me? What if they end up fearing me, the way they feared me today?"
Donn takes their hands "I love you because you were not afraid of me like everyone else is. I love you because you know exactly what to cook when I am feeling sad. I love you because you smile at my stupid jokes. I love you because you listen to my stories. I love you because you were willing to stand and fight against those who wanted to hurt my children. I love you because you know fear like I do. My children are used to fear unfortunately, all their lives they've been chased. But so have I. So have you. We can teach them not to be afraid of the world that hates them so." He kisses their knuckles "I don't want the world my dear, I just want you. I need you. I've known it since you offered me a meal all those years ago Egregore."

For every hit that lands, make a STR save. On a fail, Ben can't move from his space.
He is hit by all the attacks, breathing deeply, before flames surround his body, glowing absolutely infernal with the heat “How about you kill me.” The flames rise high. Dex save (DC 35)
"Come on, then." She says while standing up, offering a paw to help him up if he desires.
He takes it, walking with her. His paws are very strong for such a small creature.
As they walk together back to the Inn, she cant help but smile down at him, her thoughts wandering to the future she has with Damian.. "You're very strong, Felix."
"The ingredients I need require me to be. It's like, impossible to get most of them from a store. It's crazy. Ever had Blue Blood Corn, seasoned with edible volcanic ash? A single kernel, when popped, produces enough popcorn to fill an entire valley. You have to heat the kernels to an extremely high and variable temperature without burning it, or else it will never pop. All of this, and it grows on the top of one of the largest jungles in the world, Plant Hell."
Donn takes their hands "I love you because you were not afraid of me like everyone else is. I love you because you know exactly what to cook when I am feeling sad.

Golden tears spill from Egregore's eyes. "I understand. I understand, Donn."
“Not our business regardless.” He says before sitting down next to her.
"No, quite true.."
“I should probably go shower soon, I don’t need to smell like carrot and earth the rest of the day.”
"No, no, no stay here you smell good-"
“I have to shower, you’ll like how I smell when I get back anyway.”
"Ugh, fiiine, go..." she says as she releases his grip on him
He smiles “Don’t worry, I won’t be gone for long.” He makes a portal and walks through it, the other side of the portal a tropical jungle leading to a waterfall.

Donn gets down on one knee, opening the ring box. Little spectral moths float out, fluttering about before disappearing. "May I ask of you this... May you become my partner."

After all of that he’s able to resist the flames in there entirely. Benimaru seems tired already, not trying to fight anyone, but entirely unwilling to give up on the lives of the innocent “Hmm, where is CENTER found?”

She looks down at him as if he were a toddler speaking at a college level. "Y-yeah, c-cool.. I uhm, I just like regular corn..."
"This is better. I don't have any right now though. All that vital energy doesn't keep well in a fridge. I would go get some, but I kinda have to cook it on-site since my knives can't cut the stems. So, anyway, what are you cooking?" He seems very casual despite all that blabber.

It takes everything in her not to dash through it after him, but she decides not to.
After about ten minutes he come back carrying his clothes and wearing a towel “Turns out I forgot to bring backup clothes.”

"The center of the earth. There is, however, one place in the world where it has leaked out into the mantle.

He holds out his claw. "I would like nothing more... my beloved."
"Once again, the bright mind of my god-cursed puppy." She jokes, trying to remain nonchalant about the situation.
He laughs and shakes his head “Mistakes were made.” He begins to head upstairs, getting a change of clothes back to looking casual and loose, smelling like sweet fruit.
