Damian nods to Infaeri. "I am Father Damian, the supervisor Padishah Fatima spoke of. Please have a seat and have some tea. I will be right with you". Damian turns to Obsidian. "Excuse me, you may stay but I would like to discuss this further with you. For now I would like to speak to these people".

Damian takes his seat in the chair and pulls out a small crystal embedded in a gold amulet. He stroke the amulet and his gaze wanders over everyone. Obsidian again feels a pulse of power through the crystal, everyone else (Kira, Infaeri and Asv. feel the same sense of calm and joy wash over them when they step through, even Infaeri's nearly constant desire for burning things and destruction is abated. Asv feels something he hasn't felt in over a half century... peace.

Save vs. Magic: 1d20+8=12 = Fail

"I can honestly only speculate about what that thing at the airport truly is," Kira admits grudgingly, "but somehow it is bound to me and I to it, through no choice of my own. I summoned it to learn more about it and in hopes of regaining the power it robbed from me." Kira is shocked to hear the words flowing from his mouth, almost as if they are being pulled straight from his mind against his will.

Lore magic (74): 1d100=6=Pass

"Your magic is both strong and irritating. When I came here voluntarily I did not expect to be interrogated or violated, I was under the pretense that you might be more civil and hospitable. I am disappointed to find that I was wrong."

Infaeri: 1d20=15

Infaeri feels a calm wash over her. The feeling was totally foreign to her. She waits and listens as Father Damien asks Kira about the creature he summoned.

Damian puts the amulet away. "I have lived long enough to know that people who deal with spirits aren't always willing to part with the reasons, or at least the real reasons. My apologies for the intrusion. For now however I would like to know what you learned from it, as well as what you know about the coming war".

"I only learned that it seemed to enjoy our pain but would not kill me because it finds my brazen attitude amusing. As for the coming war I doubt I know anything more than you. A fellow in century old clothing appeared and told us something about the book we had recovered from the Vatican could let a war spill over into this world. the book is currently in the hands of a man who claims to be immortal and is certainly more powerful than any of my associates, myself included. We have no idea where he is."

Damian's eyes get a little wider. "So your the ones who stole the book? Do you have any plans to either aid in recovering the book or helping when the person who has it uses it and the gates of Hell are opened"?

==Kira==

Kira reclines and folds his hands, "at this point in time I am completely free, no plans one way or the other. Both the celestial creature and the man with the book seem to have plans for me, as did Jack, somehow I would not be surprised if you have plans for me as well. The man with the book's plans involved me risking my neck to get him the book under threat of death with some vague promise of power, however I almost expected him to kill me once it was all over anyway. The celestial creature's plans involved draining all my energy and casting me into a strange world with no explanation or direction. Jack's plans involved informing me that, while preserving my own life by assisting the man with the book, I had in fact condemned this universe to destruction and have in fact shot myself in the foot by trying to save my own eye, to use a light metaphor. If your plans for me follow the current trend, I probably will not profit greatly from going along with them, potentially having to put my life on the line in addition to expending my time and energy, but will have no choice but to co-operate if I don't want to die, am I correct?"

Kira looks entirely unimpressed and is not trying to hide it. "If there is some great, unknown force that controls this universe as the people who built this building claim to believe, I should certainly like to have words with him, but only after I terminate his existence."

Damian smiles. "In this you have me pegged all wrong. You take me for a man of the cloth who expects those around him to do 'the right thing', just because it is the right thing. I have dealt with thieves, murderers, rapists and minor demons in my time. All things have a price for their services. I would expect no different from you. I would assume by your speech that your price for helping would be to regain some if not all your power that was stolen from you. In this I believe we may be able to help you. I know several people who have dealt with and defeated spirits and celestial creatures before. Once you have proved yourself and helped with the situation I will pass to you all the information I have and you may speak to these others when they get here in a couple days".

Kira raises an eyebrow but is still obviously intently skeptical, "well, out of the four creatures that have had plans for me in these past two days, I must admit that you are unfortunately the one I am most inclined to trust. I have yet to see any evidence of your trustworthiness, but at the very least I know that you appreciate truth and peace, at least so long as they apply to those around you. Very well, if, as you claim, there is a demon horde on its way, I suppose I would be better off standing with you than on my own. Let me know where I am needed and I will do what I can. I can not speak for the others, but I am willing to bet that they as well would prefer to preserve their own lives as best as they are able. It is up to you, however, to convince them that their best chances lie here."

Infaeri inclines her head. "I see no reason not to help since this worl being overrun with demons will not do me any good, but I would like to think that there is something in it for me other than saving this world. There are other worlds...It would just be a matter of finding a way to get to them. That would not be easy so I would prefer to remain here for now, but I would like it to be worth my while."

Pain was something Asv. was used to, the pain this monster inflicted was nothing compared to what his mistress had done to him over the years. His form trembles slightly and he would grimace but he does not go down, or reel against the pain. He is impressed when the woman appears and dispatches the creature, so many things happening at once it was becoming confusing. He thinks about hanging back, not to follow the others into the portal; his mistress had said to follow their master, but he was gone and there was nothing for him here, so he follows along.
Once in the chamber, he watches these new beings closely, grinding his claws together like a nervous twitch. He doesn't sit unless directed to, he would rather be able to move if the time came. He listens closely, unsure what side this Damian was on or what his plans were, but when the power hits him his thoughts are lost. He can't remember the last time he felt this way, safe, warm, alive... The pain hadn't effected him but this power almost drops him, he stops grinding his claws and stumbles foreword slightly before regaining himself, thoughts and memories from a time that was dead to him now, surface. "Mein Gott..." he says in a quiet voice, one that was far different from the one he had used when speaking with Infaeri or Kira, he wasn't riding the power any more and his voice sound young and human, there was not growl or wicked laugh behind these words.
He couldn't answer the question Damian had ask, it was his mistress's choice whether or not he would take the book back, or help this Damian, his free will had been crushed many years ago and despite the fact that he took pleasure in death, hell on Earth would be the end of everything, including him. But it was his mistress who would have the final say so. He shakes his head no slightly, but it seemed more undecided then anything else.

With that there is a light rap on the door, and it opens. Kira recognizes the woman (albiet shorter) who spoke to him in Rome, and Asv Knows his Mistress. She glances briefly at her mortal minion before turning her attention to Damian. "I greet the representative of the Order of Solomon. I offer no ill will or harsh thought to the Master of this house, regardless of the Enchantment I am under. Centuries ago I was feared, mortals fought and died honorable deaths to avoid my Hall. Now, none enter, not even the dishonored or the murderers. Demons may serve me from time to time, but there is still the possibility of mortals again fearing me. Should the mortals die in this War, that possibility goes away. I now have a mortal who fears me, and follows me, let his arm forge for you the weapons which will defend the mortals from the hordes".

Asv gain the following skills:
Gemology: The ability to identify and appraise the nature and value of precious metals (silver, gold, etc.) and stones (jade,ruby, sapphire, diamond, etc.). This ability also enables the character to identify fakes, but at a penalty of -10%. A failed roll means the character cannot tell whether or not the item is fake or real, or its value is grossly under or overestimated. Base Skill: 80% +5% per level of experience.

Metalwork and Forge: An expertise in the ancient craft of forging, shaping and working metal to create all manner of metal items, from tools and utensils to weapons, armor, chain mail, silverware, etc. The percentile number indicates the quality of technique and appearance. A successful skill roll means a superior,high quality product. In the case of silverware and other items, it means beautiful craftsmanship that commands 50%-100% more money (5-10x more if exquisitely detailed). In the case of an ordinary S.D.C./H.P. weapon, it means the weapon has exceptional balance and a fine edge or other feature that makes the weapon +1 to strike, +1 to parry and +1D6 to damage. In the case of metal S.D.C. armor, the suit gets +1 to Armor Rating and has 40% more S.D.C. than is standard without additional weight. Base Skill: 90% +3% per level of experience.




Shape, Engrave, Etch & Emboss Metal: The skill of decorating, detailing and manipulating metal to create fancy designs, artwork, frills, etchings, engravings, embossing, colorful inlay of gold, silver, chrome, etc., insetting gems, adding fins, spikes or studs, high polish, and other artistic work done with metal all metal, from iron and steel to silver and gold. The percentile number indicates the quality of technique and appearance. Base Skill: 85% +3% per level of experience.[/b]

Asv drops to his knees and bows his head to the floor at the feet of his mistress and remains still and quiet, waiting for that hammer to fall, she didn't sound angry though. He feels the skills she blesses him with and looks up tentatively at her with his dead eyes, this is what she wanted of him? Then that was what he would do.

In his mind Asv can hear his Mistress. "For this you will need your Will and mind. They are now yours, but understand should you fail or disappoint me, they will be taken away again".

Asv, bows his head in understanding, slowly rising to his feet but he keeps his head down "Ich will nicht versagen meine Dame" (I will not fail, my lady.) raises his eyes slightly to look at her and quickly drops them again, she was just as stunning now as she had been when he first laid eyes on her, when he broke the code on the first two stones. He didn't dare make eye contact with her, even after all these years.

The woman looks at Infaeri, she can feel the gaze seeping into her very being. "And what would worth your while creature of fire and passion? I could change you, the Fire that burns so hot within you could be made into something Divine. Something magnificent. But I would ask something in return. Dedicate all you kill to me, to do this you must mean it, have conviction in your dedication. Do this and you will have a Fire that will burn the soul, and not just the body".

Infaeri shifts uncomfortably under the Goddess' eyes. As she listens her eyes grow wider. Change me. Change me so that my fire will burn even deeper! That would definitely be worth my while. But it would mean dedicating my kills to her. That sounds tiresome. Then again, if she gives me this power, why shouldn't I dedicate my kills to her. I don't love the idea of being indebted, but I do love to burn. Burn the soul...and it wouldn't hurt to upgrade with a war impending. As Infaeri quickly thinks this over varying emotions flit across her face, but the overall impression is a dark glee.

"I will take you up on your offer. I will dedicate my kills to you for this change. Fire that can burn a beings very soul...," she closes her eyes and smiles. Suddenly, her eyes pop open. "When can we do this?"

"NOW". Hel reaches out and her hand and arm become immaterial. She reaches into Infaeri's chest and Infaeri feels a pain like she had never felt before, her very being was being ripped, torn and shredded. She wants to collapse, she wants to fall down weeping, yet she continues to stand, too much pain to even scream. Before her eyes she sees the fires she had known for so long dwindle to a spark before sputtering out. She feels naked, powerless. Then with a roar like an avalanche, the exploding of a star or the sudden explosion of a capitol ship, she feels Fire. A Fire that consumes her, threatens to overwhelm her, bursting before her eyes she sees the dark blue flame of something greater then she ever imagined.
Then it is over.

Infaeri falls to her knees gasping for breath as Hel pulls her hand away. As the pain recedes Infaeri feels the change to the fire burning inside her. The blue heat of the flame sears her skin from the inside and the warmth of it puts a smile on her face. She holds up her hand in front of her face and watches as it bursts into blue flames, turning it this way and that to admire the change."Oh this is definitely worth my while."Turning to Hel she says, "Thank you."

"Remember our deal, it is far more painful to remove what I have given you then it is to give it". Hel nods to Damian and walks out the door.


Fal:
As you are working on your new armor, your laptop dings and you see that you have an email. when you open it you see a metallurgical compound. If this is right, it would be a hundred times lighter than steel, and a thousand times stronger. A special mixture of titanium and ceramics. You are going to need a foundry to make this, something that Zotacorp doesn't have on premise.

Damian nods. "We will have to take some time to determine where everyones skills lay, we can do that tomorrow after everyone gets some rest".

Infaeri nods once and then goes back to admiring her flaming hand. Dedications, eh. Dedications. Dedications? What do I know about dedications? I should definitely ask someone about this before I have an angry goddess painfully removing this gift. Figuring that the members of the Order of Solomon must know about such things Infaeri excuses herself to go look for Fatima.

Kira sighs as Inferi makes a foolish decision, but at this point isn't really concerned with if she wants to ruin her life. The decision had been too impulsive for her to really know what she was getting in to, and he doubted she was disciplined enough to truly honor such a commitment.

But why worry about her? She can have more power, it will come in useful without a doubt, assuming demons had souls to burn. Likewise, he will make use of his new found abilities, though he still loathes their source.

Most wouldn't have noticed Asv. slight wince as his mistress blesses the girl with new power, he knew exactly how it felt and part of him loved it; he watches from under his hood as the girl regains her self, the fires of hell couldn't touch what she had been given, but he wonders if she was worthy of such a gift from his mistress. He drops his gaze to the floor as Hel leaves, despite having his free will back, he still wanted to follow her.

Rest was something he hadn't had in very long time and the thought seemed foreign, but he waits for direction and the others. Throwing glances at the door his mistress had gone through.
