Draiss waved goodnight to the Emperor, shaking his head as his point was, once again, missed. Arriving at the lair, he waved to everyone, before nodding to the aspect that was crunching numbers with a shadow stalker. "Probably when everyone else is sleeping. And no, just that I needed a way to bring an enemy into my fold, and this was the easiest, fastest, and likely safest way to do so. Most of these are mine, yes, though the furred ones belong to Ash, and the drow are former matrons my constructs dethroned to ensure a steady alliance with their former mistress. Ellistraee is going to fail within the century, and I need the drow to keep a couple plans in line."<br/><br/>He gave Cerulean a hug, kiss, and a forehead bump, giving her a brief and somewhat accurate reason for the harem, that Lloth was pressing Ellistraee into a wall, and would win eventually, and the harem was his way of 'letting' Lloth control him. He did the same with Vorela, before heading upstairs. "Besides, the soon to be fallen goddess asked me to ensure her children survived, and I have already hashed out an agreement with her enemy that her units won't deliberately attack my constructs, and my constructs will 'merely' defend certain locations. The one to fall knows this, and has her clerics spreading the word to have the followers fall back into those locations. Only the hindmost will be caught, and my death squad teams will ensure those caught get turned over to me, evne if they have to kill an army to do so."
