RECAP OF PREVIOUS THREAD
Surrounded by yummy prey servants, you take what may be the hardest bath of your life. Well, it's the first one anyway, but it's still pretty damn difficult as you can barely contain yourself from turning the workers into your snacks.
Surprisingly, you end up resisting your urges and even engage in conversation with them, who give you useful information about each Council member. All in all, they’re nice ladies, if a bit too friendly and trusting for their own good. You also ask one of them – an excitable goat woman – to clean up the mess in your room, just in case Farren brings that up during the meeting with the Council.
After you’re finished with the bath, you leave and pick Datz on the way, who also had lots of trouble keeping herself from attacking the servants at the women’s bathhouse. Clean and ready, Arthur escorts the two of you to the meeting with the Council, which is about to start.
In the meanwhile, Hawkodesh explains that the prideful dwarves are going to do everything in their hands to avoid acknowledging you as the Champion out of spite for gnolls. Even though High Priest Aaron knows you’re the chosen of Anu, he doesn’t have the dwarven balls to stand up for his faith and declare you the saviour in front of everyone.
The meeting is a total disaster, as expected. The Cpuncil accuses Datz and you of being demon spies, and not even showing them your wings convinces them otherwise. If that isn’t bad enough, Farren tries to get his dirty hands on Datz by trying to assign her to work in the mines, essentially separating the two of you.
In the end, thanks to your insistence and Aaron’s mild support, the Council decides to let Daitza remain by your side and give you a chance to prove yourself. In no more than two days, you are to venture into the demon-infested catacombs located on the last floor of the fortress, destroy the source of taint and retrieve the Lunar Armor - a holy dwarven artifact that was stolen by demons during a siege. If you are unable to do this mission in the given deadline, you and your pal will be boiled to death.
Datz and you return to your room, which has been cleaned by the goat servant Daisy. Both of you rest a little bit to clear your minds from all stress, but also try to come up with a plan for today…
