“It mixes and melds flesh… Bodies, abilities, even minds…” Glowie says, snapping out of one fantasy and seemingly oddly transfixed with a new, darker one beyond your understanding.

“The KOBOLDS caused that trouble,” the Novice scoffs. “The demon is a tool like any other. Give proper mastery, a firm hand, diligent safety protocols… We could sue it to advance the Dragonborn project by centuries!”
