• Ever since you had a Mind Flyer Tadpole enter your eye, you find yourself able to do many miracles that not even magic from the Weave can accomplish. With this power, you've made many creatures do your bidding, hear the secrets of others through mind reading, commanded weak-minded warriors to rush into battle with forced bravery, and even made the minds of others literally explode with a thought. Best of all, you know for certain you haven't reached your limits yet. Truly, you felt invincible.

(Within the Shattered Sanctum.)

<> You stand idly near an unassuming wall, pondering on what you should do for the day. The options are limitless for you, and that's exactly what is stopping you from choosing at all. From where you stand, you can hear:

• Priestess Gut giving hymns of the Absolute to her fellow goblins along with burn branding them. You've rolled your eyes at her yapping countless times now, and you believe your Tadpole had done the same thing.

• Minthara talking with a goblin leader in her war room. So far, all you've heard more threats come out of her mouth rather than actual plans in that room.

• Ragzlin trying to revive a Mind Flyer with a Scroll of Speak to the Undead. No matter how many times he reads that scroll, he never gets the corpse to speak. He has always been more brawn than brains, despite claiming to be good at both. Maybe he's all pride.

<> As you wonder to yourself, a newcomer goblin warrior comes up to you with a stupid grin. "Oi! Maybe ya could stop doin' nothin' and start doin' somethin'! Thinkin's for the True Souls, anyway, and ya ain't lookin' like the type, hah!"

<> As the Absolute's symbol glows over half of his face, power courses through you. Authority.
