For Calga, this was the greatest opportunity of his life, and the greatest challenge as well.
Next, he would, as a representative of the Red Robe Mage Association, negotiate with the Tribunal regarding the establishment of an outpost in Arkham City.
For any Red Robe Mage, negotiating abroad was a desirable appointment. If you could get the consent of the local lord, then you would become the outpost's representative. For Red Robe Mages, this meant a constant flow of money and magical items, as well as the possibility of rising in rank within the Red Robe Mage Association.
Even though at the start the tiresome exchanges and banquets would take up the Mages' time for studying magic, the subsequent wealth and magical items would compensate for this slight inconvenience, making the role of a negotiator a much-coveted one among the Red Robe Mages.
Well, except for this time.
Because they were facing the Tribunal.
