Just when I was about to start explaining all the available options to the 12 guys in the room, I heard loud and frantic knocking at the door of the meeting hall. Oh, I forgot that I sealed this place with a barrier to prevent anybody from trespassing or hearing the conversations happening inside. Is there some type of emergency or something?
I used my mana to open the barrier slightly and then open the door to see who was so noisy at this time. When I opened the door though, I saw the three panting merfolks that I just assigned villas to. Did anybody tell them to go here?
Since they are already here and I guess to save time when explaining how things would work for all of us from here on, I welcomed them inside the meeting hall and the rest of the mystiques scooted over a bit to give them a space to sit in. I sealed the barrier up again and resumed our discussions.
Now, the crowd has officially grown to 15 mystiques of different races. How exciting!
