[His lair has always smelled faintly of sulphur. It's part of the mountain, his mountain, the place he fashioned a rough yet serviceable home out of before the Reapers came to obliterate his world.
Now there's the strong scent of smoke in the air. Smoke and fire. Claw marks in the stone, frighteningly deep.
He's brooding by the secondary exit to the mountain when she comes calling.]
[He's turning to see her, shuffling his huge bulk over, only to stop dead and stare at her bandages.]
.......
[Anger again, swelling up, burning away the depression. He forces his blood-red eyes to close, and holds tight to his composure like a human knight would a sword. Yet even so, his talons dig deep grooves into the stone floor beneath him.]
This one is.....angered, by what has transpired. That is all.
[Billows out smoke from his nostrils, and makes a grumpy noise. Then he stares, hard, at the walls he's scratched up.]
This one believes in hard lessons. Games should not always be simple or without some element of risk. Torture, however, has little purpose; when orchestrated for the amusement of a Echo, none at all.
[He lumbers off a little, starts to pace.]
Even so, there is only so much to be done about those sorts of competitions. This is to be accepted and endured, if only for now. Until a way, a solution, is found.
[A swipe at a pile of gold. The coins scatter to the floor, and he broods over the mess.]
But this goes beyond the pale. Those that have become patrons, we could not provide for our teams as we should be able to, as we desire to. The competition is over. My precious team, my friends, the other teams, they are suffering even worse than what has been unavoidable thus far.
I'm looking for Patron Echoes to get freebie quests. Stuff people can do quick and easy just to give patrons extra power boosts to do their helpful thing.
[Taking the jar and sylladexing that and then pulling out a notebook to make a note.] Okay.
Do ya wanna give a second one that dun require supplies? Like things people can do over and over longterm. More streamlined it is, the more I can probs get peeps to do it.
If Nyssa can prevent you from taking care of your tame, you need the power. These quests are for patrons to be able to help their teams because you guys got a vested interest in us.
I know, that's why I wanted stream line too. Putting in a little bit as often as possible will build up eventually. At the very least, if ya all got together, it might do something.
It remains to be seen if we can share power among ourselves in such a way, or channel it at another with the intent to destroy or disrupt, but it is certainly something to ponder.
There's always a way to combine power. Seen people work together in games, right? Not like you guys are incapable of it, just gotta figure out how to combine it best.

[one of his wings gives a single flap, and then a wooden jar appears before Roxy, the jar off to reveal the contents: small fudge brownies]
Give these to others, and have them concentrate with all their might upon a loved or otherwise precious person as they consume the morsel.
