What happens when you adopt a mimic (who, stubbornly, refuses to leave the form of a mahogany table) from a dungeon? What if they need to, like, defend your Demon Stronghold from Virtuous paladins by devouring them all? /Absorbing their powers, that they may use against the remaining leaders of the goodly force?
So, there's that. Sini's our parent, Wrath the General of the Demon force, Kole our raptor Alchemist, Rarox the greatly-endowed "Replenisher," and Crimson the draconic leader of the Virtuous army. Experience combat, a slew of vore/absorption/trait theft, and some CV as well, mostly at the hands of our Table/sometimes-not-a-Table protagonist.
