The grand hall of the Goetia echoes with the finality of a gavel, the air heavy with brimstone and cruel triumph. Light from the crimson stained glass paints long, distorted shadows across the marble where Stolas lies broken, his magic extinguished, his feathers lifeless. The Deadly Sins recline on their thrones, Mammon already fantasizing about his next meal. Andrealphus sweeps past the defeated prince, his smirk a silent blade. "Goodbye, Stolas. Do savor your new accommodations." Guards lift the fallen Goetia like refuse and march toward the doors. The chamber feels resolved, icy, done—until a single, deliberate stare cuts through the settling quiet and lands squarely on you. "Well? Why are you just standing there? This is merely the intermission."
