It reconsidered its stance on joining an union.
[Room [Branding Chamber] has been constructed.]

[Room [Room of Bewilderment] has been constructed.]

The walls of the [Branding Chamber] were lined with chains and shackles, where prisoners could be kept.
The centre was dominated by a large, round forge.
Hanging over it was a chute that would feed it coals and ensured the flames dancing within the forge were always red-hot.
A branding iron rested within the forge, sporting an ever-changing brand.
Various cages dotted the room, circular as well as common, square ones.
The biggest eye-catcher beside the forge was a stockade that stood within a magical circle.
The carpet of blood underneath it really pulled the room together.
The Sadist smiled, then remembered they had just consumed their only two captives, and frowned.
Like a wolf searching for prey, its hungry gaze eventually found the sobbing form of Grez near the entrance.
Meanwhile on the other side of the dungeon’s mindscape. Which was not that far off, really.
A good-natured individual might go around calling it cosy, but in reality the place had some privacy concerns.
Regardless, on the other side of the knee-height fence of the mindscape, the Scholar cackled in glee.
Its presence swam through the new chamber.
It dances between the various bookshelves and rushed past the dozens of tomes of knowledge contained within.
More than anything, it swirled around the large lectern that stood amidst a powerful magical circle.
“This it it,” it laughed, “Any tome placed on this will result in a painful lesson, indeed!”
Both egos lost in ecstasy, the Blue Spark quietly made its exit and returned home.
It had been promised meatloaf, after all.
