We hauled through the early hours of the night, and we made it back to The World Tree just as midnight came and went. My first thought, easily, was for sleep - and I trekked straight back to Fr3''s tent as soon as our company had trudged back in and started to disperse. Fr33ze was, thankfully, fast asleep when I snuck in, and I quickly moved to crawl, quietly, beside him - sprawling out on the familiar blankets as though it twas a five star hotel.

Mim,
The Prince has... taken an interest in you. More so, I fear, than is really appropriate. He has been delving into my records of your past and your placement herein, and I very much expect that I will likely be selling your contract to him at some point in the future (at quite a nice price, I might add). I wanted to offer a word of warning, however : those who ''interest'' our Prince, they rarely have much of a life expectancy.
I wonder what you did that might arouse such interest. I rather think it may have been something you said, though choosing that title did not help. Macabre. How very interesting that you could achieve such a title in Hell itself? But no matter.
I have been instructed to deliver the attached message to you, as your current overseer, and so deliver I shall. I do hope you will follow any instructions therein. Because if you ruin this deal for me, I swear by Luciferhimself that I shall make you pay a thousand times the price of whatever it is that our Prince is asking of you.
Anyway, good chat. And try to have some fun out there!
Your faithful (current) lord and master,
Bob XXXVII
Little Mim,
As we feel confident our messenger has hitherto explained, we have taken an interest in your, somewhat unfortunate, situation. While it is not in our power to award you the ''Level Three'' advancement that you most require, we have taken it upon ourselves to arrange some small rewards for your service today. Moreover, please do consider this a thank you - not only for your participation in the extermination of the Borneless One''s minion, though that is appreciated, but also of providing us with some small entertainment as we have followed your exploits.
When you are provided your Soulbound Item set choice, we have arranged for a third, we believe, much more lucrative option to be provided you. We have gone to some considerable lengths to arrange this, and we wished you to understand that we would be quite disappointed if you did not select our gift as your reward. Quite disappointed indeed.
We feel that we may be working together much more... closely... in the future. And we wished to send this note both by way ofexplanation as well as formal introduction.
Your Prince,
''Oro''.
