The High Council Steps In

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 116173

Belboz, as you may have guessed at this point, did not shy away from unsavory dealings, and he had gotten on the Council's radar in a bad way. They overwhelmed him and placed magical handcuffs on him to keep him from casting any spells or escaping as they searched his home. Maerwynn, Gairovald, Rick, and Freda were the only living things in the tunnels, and they held them aside too as they sorted through all his documents and illegal items.

Maerwynn was crying and Gairovald was trying not to, and Freda just kept asking what was going on. Rick, per the many orders that had been placed on him, was silent. While in Belboz's presence, he could not speak unless Belboz spoke to him first. And in fact, at no time at all was he allowed to say anything negative of his master.

When the sorcerers had more or less a decent idea of what they were dealing with (hint: weeks and weeks of paperwork, and many years in prison on Belboz's part), they turned their attention to the kids, the slave, and the cow, to decide what to do with them. The highest authority present, an archmage called Romaine, considered them before saying,

  1. "The children will certainly have to be turned over to the Child Protective Services division. The slave and the cow, however, are of Belboz's property, and will go to his next of kin."
  2. "The children will certainly have to be turned over to the Child Protective Services division. The slave and the cow, however, are of Belboz's property, and will be put up for sale."
  3. "The children will certainly have to be turned over to the Child Protective Services division. The slave and the cow, however, are of Belboz's property, and now belong to the Council."
  4. "We will obviously have to investigate all four of you for magical tampering. Come with us."
