			Boom Boom is also invited to meet with Belial and agrees to meet with our company. A recruitment attempt ensues but is not conclusive.<br>
			Some time is spent on ideas for our next task, and eventually, butterflies (of some kind) are selected.<br>
			We discuss some ideas, such as people dressing in butterfly costumes, and thousands of butterflies. The nature of hell is discussed.
			Horn offers exploding, burning, draining, and razor varieties of butterflies. Horn reminisces on fooling a soul into thinking they were in a heaven, then the butterflies ate them.<br>
			Minerva offers to sing, spinning dancers with streamers, with flaming cloth and winged costumes on, with Arcadia and Boom Boom volunteering for that. Tulip plans to control the butterfly swarms and get them to dance as well. Finishing with an explosion of butterflies everywhere over the arena.<br>
			Cages of butterflies around the edges, linked to a lever or other triggering device to release them towards the audience. And an effigy in the middle, stained glass and ironwork is what we are looking for. Further ideas of shattering glass domes are added to this.<br>
			Burning Butterflies are bright red.
			Blue and Green butterflies are razor-winged. The merest touch can slice an imp's skin.
			Black butterflies are life-draining.
			"Death Butterflies" explode when touched, grenadoe-sized explosion, the butterfly lives but is smaller. Purple and Orange wings.
			The dancers and actors plan butterfly costumes.<br>
			Arcadian, Rainbow.
			Boom Boom, Red.
			Tulip, Blue and Green.
			Minerva chooses not to get a costume made, but instead plans to use a disguise illusion item.<br>
			Kurt will be off the side, inside an illusory rock, keeping a drum going.<br>
			Offerings of flowers, honey, and alcohol are planned as part of this, and Arcadia will also grow flowers across the arena as the ceremony progresses.<br>
			Their favourite wine/honey will also be sprayed on the audience just before the butterflies are released.<br>
			We get our hidden warning that the creature will also appear and, in the case of other groups, attack and devour them.<br>
			Tulip binds 32 red ones, Arcadia a Vorpal and Death (exploding) butterfly. Tulip requests a Demonic trainer for butterfly dancing.<br>
			We also do all our usual preparations and get weapon spells and rank 20 necromancy special counters before entering as well.<br>
			The performance goes... averagely, and the gigantic butterfly then arrives and smashes down in the middle, doing a horrific explosion of fire, death, and slicing.<br>
