After her capture, Yoni was blindfolded and gagged, she felt humiliated that she could get caught off guard so easily. She was currently unaware of her surroundings, but she knew she was in a damp warehouse. After several moments, the blindfold and gag were taken off, and she was alone in a room with Ayev.

  Yoni: …

  Ayev: Aren’t you going to say something, you were pretty snarky earlier.

  Yoni: I’m just contemplating my current situation, running through the variables, running the calculations in my mind about what led to this

  Ayev: Well this was a last minute decision, we were set to leave and never come back but our client said she wanted you out of the way…

  Yoni: Out of the way…

  Ayev: Yeah what about it

  Yoni: I’ve deduced only two possible people could be your current client

  Ayev looked stunned for a quick minute

  Ayev: You sure are annoying for how little I’ve known you, but it makes sense, bratty little nuisance from a lovely fucked up family held together by notions of a grander past and old money

  Yoni: I mean you left the only family you’ve ever known so do you have any right to judge me for mine

  Ayev: They told you…

  Yoni: Yup, you’re pretty silly for that, it’s clear you still care for them even though you left them long ago

  Ayev: Well yeah, they were my family after all, I only left them to fight for my people

  Yoni: Yeah you left them on a selfish revenge quest

  Ayev: …

  Yoni: Maybe if you admit you’re in the wrong then you can go back to the life you once lived, just under the Century Corps..

  Ayev: I will NEVER join The Century Corps, I’ve been left to rot, humiliated and broken by the corps, there’s no way I’ll ever work with people like them

  Yoni: Alright…your choice..

  Suddenly the door opens, and Yoni’s eyes go wide

  Lorenza: Hello sister

  Yoni: …I didn’t want to believe it was you…

  Ayev: Ah the jigs up

  Lorenza: Sorry I deceived you like this Yoni but, you should know the truth so follow me

  Yoni: …Fine…

  Ayev unties Yoni and the two begin following Lorenza.

  Lorenza: So, I bet you're wondering what I want with a paltry goblet?

  Ayev: I don't actually

  Lorenza: You really don't want to know?

  Ayev: No, not really, you want to make more wine or smth for a bootlegging operation or smth

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  Lorenza: You think too little of me

  Ayev: Ok so what is your master plan?

  Lorenza: It's what I'm about to show you

  Ayev: Does it have to do with all the burners and explosives we also stole?

  Yoni: What…

  Lorenza: Yeah yeah hold on bucko

  Ayev and Yoni arrive at a diagram Lorenza has planned, it's a model of the treasure tower with burners

  Yoni: What is this?

  Ayev: Ok so uh, you want to melt everyone's gold?

  Lorenza (pointing at the Chalice): What does gold turn into when it melts…

  Ayev: Oh I see what you're saying

  Yoni: So you want to melt everyone's gold, cause a gold flood and kill thousands of people via an infinitely replicating gold flood.

  Lorenza: No Yoni, this gold is going to help the poorer citizens of Rome like you wanted too

  Yoni: Bullshit, like you ever cared about them

  Lorenza: Our hands were tied, this is the only option

  Ayev: Do you believe that?

  Yoni: I can think of at least thirteen other ways to use Sinners Sextant to help Rome's poor and instead of doing any of those, you want them to help you drown it scorching molten gold?

  Ayev: Wait are we another acsessory to genocide?

  Lorenza: It's not genocide it's probably not gonna kill them it'll help them ever heard of equal distribution of wealth?

  Yoni: You're so ignorant it honestly hurts

  Lorenza: Well when gold floods the streets of rome, you'll see how better off everyone is about to become

  Yoni: Maybe if you consider death mercy?

  Lorenza: Why don't you j-

  Yoni: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  Ayev: Damn

  Lorenza: Ok ok ok no need to be rude about my offer

  Yoni: You're a narcissistic sociopath why the hell would I ever consider this plan?

  Lorenza: Well we've got a date with smelting so I gotta go

  Ayev: Who's we?

  Lorenza: You and me, I need your people guarding the vault from intruders

  Ayev: Ok, sure

  As Lorenza and Ayev turn to leave a massive white beam blows open a hole in the roof

  Wjenx: Hey guys

  Ayev: Oh brother

  Elybe: Hey look who we caught with their no good plans exposed

  Lorenza sees Dassu stealing her diagram

  Lorenza: You know I worked hard on that diagram

  Monact: So uh how about you come quietly

  Lorenza: Uh how about no

  Lorenza and Ayev leave the building through the hole in the roof

  Wjenx: Looks like we now know what Sinners Sextant was doing back at the Treasure Tower after stealing the chalice

  Yoni: Yeah, helping my sister set her idiotic plan into motion.

  Dassu: So how long do you think we have?

  Yoni: Maybe an hour there's A LOT of gold there

  Monact: So Yoni how do you feel about your sister being a sadistic prick?

  Yoni: Not a fan of her disposition

  Elybe: I figured yeah

  Yoni: So looks like we gotta fight our families

  Wjenx: Yeah

  Monact: Alright, so let's get moving

  Faithful Night and Yoni exit the building, and step back onto the streets of Rome

  Begin Streets of Rome II

  When you're at XXV% a small contingent of Sinners Sextant get ready to engage Faithful Night and Yoni

  Monact: Trying to slow us down?

  Elybe: I mean yeah we got a strict time limit

  Dassu: Yeah…yeah…

  Fight against The Sextant

  When you win

  Wjenx: Well…that was a waste of time

  Elybe: That was the point!!

  Dassu: I guess we can't delay any more

  Resume

  When you're at L%

  Yoni: I didn't know my sister was such a wacko

  Elybe: I didn't either so it was shocking to me too

  Yoni: You barely knew her

  Elybe: That doesn't mean I wasn't surprised to see her have Sinners Sextant kidnap you

  Yoni: I mean I assumed she thought those kinds of people were beneath her

  Monact: Keeping up a charade sure takes a lot of work

  Yoni: I can see that now

  Resume

  When you're at LXXV%

  Yoni: So…are you going to try to convince Ayev to turn back?

  Elybe: We probably cannot

  Monact: Why do you think we'd try to reason with them?

  Yoni: My sister may be too far gone but, maybe you can save what's left of your family, I can sense a sort of conflict in them.

  Wjenx: If what you say is true, I may be willing to try

  Dassu: I don't want to hurt Ayev…

  Elybe: Me neither…if we can convince them to abandon the warpath…we can save them yet

  Resume

  When you're complete, the five of them come face to face with The Treasure Tower

  Yoni: We don't have much time

  Elybe: Well, let's not delay

  Dassu: Ayev…we're coming for you

  The group enters the Tower, preparing for a confrontation against their family.
