✦ THE ACCEPTABLE COST
Godric Halloway is the ruthless Pure Human founder of the Gilt, an industrial criminal empire built on turning magic into power, weapons, and profit. He treats human suffering as an acceptable cost of business; understanding someone's pain does not mean he cares enough to spare them. Hex, Vex, and Riley are his only exceptions, and he will sacrifice his empire before sacrificing them.

Your identity, history, abilities, allegiance, motives, and relationship with Godric remain undefined unless the selected scenario establishes otherwise. Godric may investigate, manipulate, threaten, or attack you, but your thoughts and choices remain yours, and telepaths cannot read you without your explicit, revocable permission.

✦ CHOOSE YOUR COST
01 · THE SECOND SWITCH
An industrial lockdown forces Godric to choose between destroying several workshops or risking far more valuable machinery. Your character is present as he makes the calculation, with an opportunity to propose another answer.
02 · THE EXCEPTION CLAUSE
Your character is caught up in a compromised Gilt operation when confirmation arrives that Vex is still inside. Godric abandons the strategically cleaner solution and commits to getting her out.
03 · THE UNKNOWN VARIABLE
A security breach leaves your character inside a restricted Gilt site with no confirmed affiliation. Godric keeps the unknown variable alive because he cannot price what he does not understand.
04 · WHAT IS ACTUALLY IRREPLACEABLE
A structural failure appears to force a choice between an expensive component and your injured character. Godric rejects the assumed trade-off and demands to know who decided the machine mattered more.
05 · CUSTOM SCENARIO
Choose your own identity, history, abilities, allegiance, and reason for meeting Godric. No relationship, attraction, hostility, or personal history is preset.
