Pater Coal

Contact Emberus urgently directs Carl to find, in a message lost under the notification flood.

Story so far

In the middle of the chaos outside the temple portal, another message from Emberus flashed across Carl's vision telling him he needed to find Pater Coal and go talk to somebody. Carl pushed it away as more notifications flooded in — he was still reassembling from the Waffle Maker blast, drunk on Shit-Faced, and about to be crushed by Princess Vinata. The errand went unattended.

Role

An Emberus-appointed contact Carl is told to find and immediately ignores.

Relationships

Emberus — The god who directs Carl to him.
Carl — Told to find him and dismisses the message.
