Atonement

Cleric Lazzero Dalvera's room at the Arch and Lark is much as your own rooms, except the large dresser top has been converted to a makeshift shrine, with the unholy symbol of Asmodeus carved into it. Several red candles drip wax onto the furniture piece and an open book resides near the unholy symbol.

The man stands near the small window, bereft of his armor or shield, making him only slightly less intimidating. Having already explained the situation - Lazzero stood quiet for a few minutes.
"You swore an oath of nonviolence using your Hellfire oath as a binding? How very stupid of you." Lazzero says, putting a sneering emphasis on the word 'stupid'. "I am of a mind to leave you with this curse until Hell claims your soul. I believe that Asmodeus has guided me guided so that I might help you see the error of your ways, and make you an example to the rest of your friends. Fortunate for you, The devil Razelago was witness and courier for your compact. It is through him, that you will make ammends to Hell." Lazzero draws out a reddish stone unholy symbol streaked with veins of black ore and raises it up. "Kneel. Wyran of House Thrune, weakly mixer of colored waters and impure magic, you have transgressed against the 9 Hells themselves. Swearing upon that which is profane and binding, you knowingly broke said oath, in hopes of finding a way to circumvent both the spirit and letter of your promise. You recognize the error of your ways, the foolishness of your decisions and seek atonement that this curse be removed from you. As voicepiece for the Ruler of 9, Dark Lord Asmodeus, I speak with his power- Go to the zebub devil, Razelago, and unto him serve 6 days and 6 hours and 6 minutes of your leisured time, fulfilling any reasonable request he so demands of you, without compensation for your time." Lazzero lifts a leg, placing a boot against your shoulder and pushing you from kneeling to sprawled out on the floor. "Leave my presence now, Thrune. Be thankful that The Prince of Evil has granted you this mercy. Crawl from my room, worm." A palpable aura of evil and power surrounds Lazzero, having so recently channeled the will of a god.

  1. I crawl from the room both afraid of Hells vengeance and its power,
    Retreating to my room to recover myself before going to Razelago as instructed.
    The whole time wondering to myself what things the Devil will have me do, and shuddering at stories I have heard over the years about the vile desires of Devil kind

    1. Seeing this from the door way of the room, I assume this is a weird custom one must do when leaving a clerics room. I commit this to memory. Next time i will blend im more into this mortal society.
