He should have fallen on his sword. That would have been the sensible thing to do.
Punched his ticket for Elysium right away, no waiting around.
He thought they'd only kill him.
Why did he think that? How stupid was he? Why in the world did he think that?
And now instead of his next great adventure he's flubbed a save against dominate person.
Toff Ornelos!
It's been a year and a day, old friend. I've held this of yours in your absence, against the day again we met - catch!
The black marble bounces harmlessly off his chest.
Did you... did you seriously just try that.
There's nothing on that marble save a magic mouth. :3
How the Hell has life been treating you, chum? And how did you get in my mansion, it's only supposed to let in those I designate.
I walk paths beyond your comprehension. No ward of yours can bar my entry.
Slaving wage-wizard.
Ponder this mystery as you peruse the books of Heaven and bargain for the secrets of Hell, as you tread the paths I blazed on Castrovel and the Sun...
...and perhaps one day you will understand.
I'm renting a room in the mansion, so I subleted parts of it out to everyone else who wanted inside.
It wasn't even Toff's idea, we've been doing this ever since you disappeared - so folks could visit their neighbors.
Ah, Korvosa.
It's possible I should have been more precise in my designation... what is the going rate for a room in a mansion, by the way?
Making myself useful.
What are you doing in my mansion?
Could it be that you're here, in my house, dusting my door and scuffing my floor, because you're looking to trade clones again?
The Committee Chair says you can't have wizard duels in here, or at least that you can't use AoEs.
Lord Ornelos, how do you know my man Togomor?
Cressida Kroft grilled him under truthtelling and he seemed pretty legit, plus, Ileosa knew Togomor before he showed up.
Meanwhile, you were responsible for that entire fiasco with the Breaching Festival.
It's pretty clear that you don't like him for whatever reason (meanwhile Togomor is being perfectly friendly - look at him smile! And he even returned your lost marble!).
I think you'd say anything about him as long as it was bad.
Togomor will give a pained smile, as if to say "thank you for standing up for me" and "although I wish you didn't have to."
Aloud, he'll say something backhanded as runs to the general effect of "Toff Ornelos has much of which he can be justly proud (and much of which he can't), so don't badmouth him (he won't take it well). I'm sure he wouldn't knowingly lie (in a tone that implies we all know he totally would (because we all know he totally would (because he totally would)))".
I'm in love with the way you phrased that so Ornelos can't object without seeming ungracious.
Guess who doesn't give a goblin's ass about sounding ungracious.
I'll give you a hint:
It starts with "Lord" and ends with "Headmaster Toff godsdamn Ornelos, Head of House Ornelos, Heir to the Eternal Lord."
He's just about out of patience for playing nitwit games with the likes of Togomor and the interim Queen.
Do you know why he wasn't here to shut down your shitty coup earlier?
