They will have to seek an audience. But will take too long on day one.

Transactional Demands#
one of:
- fight my champions in the Onyx Octagon
- an artifact
- invest via The Grand Obsidian (bank/exchange) in
Champions#
If they loose. Double or nothing:
Fight Rak Tulkhesh.
vs. Knights of Kavaki in 3 days.
After the loss#
- someone fired whoever placed those odds, no one consulted a background check? ask names.
staff (visage change):
- yes. you have of course earned your price.
- there is one small condition though.
- in the event that you die on your mission
- we don't want to be known as littering the multiverse with these artifacts
- it's already suspicious enough that you visit several magnus
- upon your death, we would like it returned to us
if they joke, ensure that the 9th level Greater Dimensional Claim is cast. Cannot be dispelled, cannot be wished away. Artifact level magic.
(Same as what the various power crystals in the bank use to ensure their collateral.)
give them a signed seal on a brass scroll, he laser etches it in.
bank can then verify it with the vendor who displays it.
scrying, last day.
come back. fight again.
we'll find something more diverse for you, apparently nothing is strong enough alone to tackle you.
Another fight, or whatever else powerful enough to match your first offering here, you can look at whatever you want in here for a few days, no judgement (raises eyebrow, creepily).

Scrying#
At the Long Castle spire deep within. Just do DMC3 style tower. Rotating as you walk around and activate it.
scrying is harder to detect
- cannot bypass truesight, but thanks to the power, it's tiny, really hard to detect
- cannot bypass mind blank (no thoughts / intentions / emotions)
