Gordak paid no heed to the barkers advertising the houses of their masters. Even if he had the silver to purchase a week in those halls, he didn't care much for the prospect of losing himself to decadence mere moments after passing through the gate. Instead, Gordak continued on in search of good hench material. As he walked, he went through his initial ideas of who and what to look for and eventually settled on seeking out a Blighted serving in bondage to a master who wouldn't be missed. Blighted always made good henches. Especially when freed from cruel masters and coaxed into service with promises of fairer treatment.

27 years old today. Only three years of my 20s left. Where did all that time go?

So apparently, if you use a tooth with a filling in it to chew toffee, the toffee can become sicky enough to pull the filling out.

Feel free to ask for any more detail
I noticed in the book that some of the rules rely on sessions. Since this is a play by post game rather than a session game, do you have any plans in place on how to work around that?
Gathis, known among the central hill tribes as the City of Velvet Lies. Gordak smelled the decadence of the city long before he first caught sight of it. And now that he was actually in the city, the scent was overwhelming. But even so, Gordak could still sense the power here. And with cunning, bravery, and a good measure of luck, that power would one day belong to him. For now though, Gordak was new to the city and as such was unfamiliar with its layout and its ways. And while experience would certainly change that after a few days, a guide would make things easier. Fortunately, Gordak had a talent for finding help. It was simply a matter of searching in the right places.
Just to check, does it sound good to you to start off with your character entering Gathis for the first time, or returning for the first time since setting out on your own?
Starting the story off with Gordak arriving in Gathis for the first time sounds good to me.
Skobeloff
"Hey, it's okay, Skob. It flew away. I...did get the sense that it's gonna come after me next time...."
At those words, Skobeloff became even more miserable. If Stargaze had the sense that the foe she had faced was coming for her next time, she must have done something really cool to make it swear revenge on her. And Skobeloff hadn't been there to see it.
"Anyways! Home is safe again, and Echo should be recovering by now...I think! Can you help us find the other dragons who were trapped here?"
In answer to Stargaze's request, Skobeloff weakly lifted his head and looked about him for anything of interest. At first, he was in too much despair to do any more than that. But then he caught a glimpse of something. "Huh? What's that over there?" Skobeloff said to no one in particular before picking himself up and moving to investigate what he had noticed.
"I can't imagine what they threatened you with that would be worse than death on the battlefield, but I think I'll sleep easier if you don't tell me"
"That's an understatement" The talkative captive said, her smile fading then. "I'm sure you've noticed how the Sultan marks us as his property. The punishments only get worse from there."
"Could you tell us how they are getting to the material plane? I'd like to show your former captures why they call me 'The dagger'"
"I'm afraid we can't help you there." The captive said. "Our forces are brought to and from the Material Plane by the power of the Sultan, not through any magic of our own. And even if we did have a way for you to make the journey, I would warn you against it. The Sultan and his ally? Both of them are Wish Granters. That kind of power isn't the sort you reckon with lightly."
