Prompt!

[scarylady]

Ok, this has been infesting my brain all day so, although I may well write a fill for it myself soon, I thought I'd also offer it as a prompt.

Prompt:  Godwin's Harrowing

Explanation:  Godwin, mage of the Circle.  This means he's passed a Harrowing, right?  That weasly little coward who hid in a cupboard...  So the question is - how did he pass his Harrowing?  Cos I'm willing to bet it wasn't by blowing up the demon.

Short explanations/ wild sketches welcome as comments if you don't want to write/draw something proppa!

This was much the way my mind was working. Bribery for a Harrowing would have to be intensive though; if you start with the assumption that both Greagoir and Irving are bribe-proof.

His pet Templars would have to:
(1) worm their way into his Harrowing
(2) have a diversion that gets the KC and the FE out of the room so they can rig it to look like Godwin has gone in and come back out
(3) convince the two suspicious beards that yes, it did actually happen, honest guv, the weaselly mage did fine.

Oh, you're nicer than me. I was thinking more "hey, mr. demon. Here's a list of mages that seem particularly weak-willed, and I added a few templars who are quite obviously unhappy with their lot in life for good measure. We done here?"

Oh, you're a mean one, aren't you? I didn't see Godwin as being quite that determined, or quite so hands-on. Your version involves him actually getting in speaking range of the demon - mine doesn't require him to leave the Harrowing Chamber.
