"We have a problem," Lea said.

The next morning had seen us gathering on the bridge to find what Lea had discovered the night before. I wished she'd had a more positive way to start the briefing.

"How big a problem?" I asked.

Lea motioned in the air and a scry portal opened up showing us a distant scene. Aria looked to be bound to some sort of pillar jutting out of the side of a mountain of gold coins. Curled around her was a massive dragon.

"I call all the loot," Ashley said.

"Well, that doesn't look at all like a trap," I said.

"Gob must have put it together before he died," Yve said.

"That does seem his style. Did we really kill him by the way?"

"I wished him to be mortal. We totally killed him," Ashley said.

"If he was divine and you killed him, he'd likely be dead. Given mortality, he probably respawned," Yve said.

"That isn't what I wanted at all," Ashley said with a scowl.

It made sense though. Gina and her wishes. She had screwed over Gob when he made his wish, which I'd planned on and expected. Then Ashley had made another and it turned right back on us as well.

"Should we be worried about that?" I asked.

"Even if he is no longer divine he's still backed by the intelligence in the other world with all the same knowledge. A little worrying is smart," Yve said.

"I killed him once, I can kill him again," Ashley said.

Yeah. Probably.

"When I respawned it was nearby, but Walt when he didn't want to respawn locally was able to go to Sardonis Castle. Gob probably went to the home base of his faction, which I'm guessing is the starship," I said.

"Makes sense," Ashley nodded.

"So... a dragon," I said.

"We've still got damage from the dinosaur. We can lend some support, but I'd rather not engage too directly with the Vainglory," Lea said.

That didn't work in our favor.

"How are your spells? Now that we sorted things with the Goddesses are you back firing on all cylinders?" Ashley asked.

"Pull my sheet. I'm not exactly a Paladin anymore," I said.

Ashley and Walt both went glassy-eyed for a moment as they got lost in their interfaces.

"Huh," Ashley said.

"I'm not a mage either," Walt said.

That was a revelation. I pulled his stats.

Walt Death-hand

Bringer of Destruction

Health: 1200/1200

Walt Death-hand is the chosen of the Goddess Mela. Once a mage, he was fused with a frightful weapon which altered his very essence. He is now an agent of formidable change and disruptor of order.

"WHY DON'T I have a sheet? This is a total rip off," Ashley said.

"If you want to allow Mela to start chopping parts off of you and shoving in ancient artifacts of unknown origin, she's willing to give it a go," Walt said, deadpan.

"I’ll pass."

"Are you okay?" I asked Walt.

"Not really. It's synergy. Sort of. It's all about destroying things and wiping the slate clean, and I was wiping my own slate clean."

"Does it hurt?" Ashley asked.

"Yes. It doesn't like the mortal bits of me, the living parts.
