You send word to Throng-Urist that he has picked an inappropriate location for his new headquarters.

2

A few weeks later you get a report back. "Throng-Urist cannot be found," the Cherub explains. "We believe he is somewhere back in the mountainhomes, working on closing down the old headquarters and moving his organization, and nobody within The Empire has the faintest clue when he will be back. The longer we wait, the more resources will be sunk into construction in the forest, and the harder it may be to talk him into calling off the project."

A: Then we shall scour the mountianhomes to find him! Hopefully the dwarven Pantheon doesn't mind!
B: We must make our demands to Throng-Urist's subordinates then, and have them stop the construction.
C: We shall take our request to General Thrane then. He may have the authority to stop construction.
D: We shall take our request to Emperor Sun-nut then. He will have the authority to stop construction.
E: The matter can wait until Throng-Urist returns.

And then just never bring it up again

B/C?

I was under the impression that Thrane is second in his father's business, while moonlighting as chief advisor to the emperor. Or is that the other way round?

You forward your demand to move the Headquarters to Emperor Sun-nut.

3

Sun-nut refuses your demand! The construction is too vital to the economic future of the empire, he argues, and Thrane and Throng-Urist are too fickle to risk angering. He does, however, offer to issue an imperial decree banning all future construction in The Woods without your express consent.

A: ...Fine.
B: Ungrateful Brat! I shall send my host to remove him from the throne!
C: I WILL NOT BE DEFIED! If I can't bring Throng-Urist's little project to a peaceful end, I will send my host to crush it!
D: I WILL NOT BE DEFIED! If I can't bring Throng-Urist's little project to a peaceful end, I will spend essence to destroy it with a great cataclysm!
F: I cannot allow the headquarters to stand, nor can I afford to be blamed for its destruction. I'll quietly call in the favor Char-Dis owes me to deal with it.

You decide to accept Sun-nut's compromise.

6.8 CS:

A very solemn looking Cherub enters your court and bows low.

"My queen," he states, "I come bearing terrible news. Your son Uzru has been slain!"

"What! How?"

"We are unsure. We just recieved the messenger from Bark-Ark's seat of judgement bearing the news. Your son's soul showed up at his seat two days ago. He cannot recall the manner of his death, but guesses that he was murdered in his sleep; He was rooming in a hostel with a dozen other mercenaries, heroes, and adventurers sent to kill Green Oni Midoriiro as he was. It was likely somebody struck him down to thin out the competition." The Cherub explains.

"And what judgement has Bark-Ark passed on my son's soul?" You ask.

"He has sentenced Uzru to angel training at the Amber Palace, should you consent to taking him back of course."

You sigh. Not only do you have to figure out what to do with your son's soul, but you also have to decide if his death merits further investigation.

As for his soul...
A: Of course I will have it back. I do not abandon family.
B: Moonpetal will not want her failure of a husband returned to her. I decline.

As for his death...
A: He died on Kappa lands, so the responsibility to investigate falls to Ikarinojoō, the mortal queen of Kappa.
B: He died on Kappa lands, so the responsibility to investigate falls to the Abysall Gods worshiped there.
C: I have a spymaster who is also an Abyssal Diety by birth. I will pull Lahara from the case of the missing staff, and put her on this!
D: I have a consort who is also a Kappa! Old age shall not stop Senshinochi from returning to his homeland to investigate the death of his son!
F: I have better things to be doing than worrying about the murder of a mortal.

While Moonpetal is away from home, herself. That's going to be an unpleasant surprise.

Anything but C, the staff is too important.
