| [[people:amer_terrante]] has been dogged by a simple agreement he made with [[people:Charles]], which has cost him dearly in the time since. There was no exchange which further irks him. Wishing to deal with this once and for all he invites the demon over to discuss the situation. Points of law, contracts, and the nature of a gentleman’s agreement are verbally sparred over the next hour – but in the end it comes down to thousands of years of negotiating with humans vs a single human lifetime. Charles gets the best of the deal, but what a strange deal – they both agree to simply go their own way and not interfere or help each other until the spring equinox. | [[people:amer_terrante]] has been dogged by a simple agreement he made with [[people:Charles]], which has cost him dearly in the time since.

| - | Compared to Charles cleaning up the mess around [[atlas:Tminir Tower]] is more a matter of simply accepting the status quo. He arrives to find that the village of former servants thriving, but two groups of soldiers are also encamped around the lake. With the souls trapped in the lake released the tower is cannot stop to attackers until they reach the tower itself. The first group are flying the banner of the [[lore:Temple of Light]], while the second is unknown to Amer. He gates into the Tower itself to speak with the guardian. Now dressed for war and carrying a iron staff dripping blood he says that the enemy strength is too weak to breach the gates. Amer tells him to speak with him if the situation changes, then he leaves the tower to return to [[atlas:Bornheim]]. | + | Compared to Charles cleaning up the mess around [[atlas:Tminir Tower]] is more a matter of simply accepting the status quo.

He is one of the targets on the list Nigel was given by his handler. He eventually arranges a meeting with Oswald and asks for some help.

| Eric suddenly stands up in the loft, gives Bel only a short warning, before he throws a satchel into the doorway. The satchel explodes with a bright and warm light – driving the raiders back from the door. Bel uses that opportunity to drive them into the village center.
