I went and rolled a 4. So, I'm adding a couple of actions that Sarah and Taryn must take before coming back to try and convince Jizaren a second time.<br/><br/>Taryn Persuade - 4  (https://discord.com/channels/1007352388996300890/1009249001536770059/1033105169686200413)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Jizaran looked from Sarah to Taryn and back speculatively. "I'm unconvinced. She is of strong will, both a benefit and a curse - a benefit in that I will be able to wield more of my power on the mortal plane and a curse in that she can defy me. Additionally, you are providing the clothes that will stop her growth. Ultimately, her loyalty will be to you and not to me." Jizaran paused, "Still, I am tempted. She is much better than many a human that I have possessed. So I present a challenge to both of you. First, Cloth her appropriately for a Demon prince in a mortal body. Second, Train her. She is skilled in unarmed combat, but I would see her skilled with weapons. When you have accomplished both, summon me, and I shall take her for a test drive. Should Sara and I reach an accommodation, You and I will have a deal as long as she is available to me."<br/><br/>Jizaran turned to Sarah, "Your days as a mortal are coming to an end. Should you walk away, you would soon perish. Already, Jane and Taryn have made you aware of the supernatural world. Things that would have ignored you will, for better or ill, provide your attention. Finally, agreeing to serve Taryn and I will make you demon tainted and so a target for those who hate and hunt demons."<br/><br/>Emotions swirled in Sarah. To have been promised a way to avoid a long-lingering decline and then have it snatched away. To see proven what Jane had described - the supernatural world. Finally, to have Jizaren judge her and be found wanting. Sara stood, her fists clenched. She longed to punch the stupid, arrogant demon in the face. However, he had challenged her, and she was never one to back down from a challenge. Sarah pointed a finger, and Jizaran, You'll find I'm not one to back down and not one to fail a challenge. I'll work hard and train hard. Perhaps, in the end, I'll decide you're not good enough for me."<br/><br/>Jizaren laughed and clapped his hands, "That's the spirit. Work hard, Train hard. Be a credit to your Imp. Perhaps when next we meet, I'll be the one looking for your services."<br/><br/>Jizaren pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and passed it to Taryn. "The mark on this paper is my mark. I will know their location if it is tattooed on a person's chest. However, I will be unable to possess their body without their consent. For now, use temporary ink to scribe the tattoo. When the time is right, I will appear, and with Sarah's permission show her the benefits and costs of being possessed by a demon.<br/><br/>For now, I will warn you both to tread carefully. Tazziuz and Karimed will not strike openly at you while you and I are negotiating. However, they will not hesitate to meddle covertly. Also, I have heard that many things are in play in Vegas. I don't know the details, but Vegas is about to become even more dangerous than normal. I've heard that an exile from the Unseilie court is trying to set up shop.
