A goblin LT Grig sends for Drago.
Then they go visit who they are told is the head of the Federation of Magic. It turns out its just Denali and a female demon who talk with the group in the coffee shop...
Tapping her nose she slides a scroll to drago. "Dunscon wanted you to know of the new charter and says you are welcome to join the federation once you have your 4 points." She doesn't seem to think the demons there are a threat to the federation... She puts out her hand "For a fee I will act as your lawyer in federation business, do you truely wish to be a lord? There still might be a..legal way to do so..." Her smile after speaking is most wicked.
