The hour of rest went by incredibly fast, during which Phoenix took the names and classes of each player that had joined to split them up into parties.
At first, she had thought Astaroth had split them into role lines to do the parties. But after his stunt with mana presence, the class spread was all over the place.
Splitting up the players into parties that would hold at least some coherence was a tougher job than she had expected.
But she did so without complaining. She knew if she asked Astaroth to do it, the compositions would be messy, at best.
Once this had been done, Astaroth and Phoenix met with all the players once again, this time inside the throne room.
It was cramped, inside of the throne room with all the people there. But she didn't care, and neither did Astaroth.
Once everyone had arrived, including those who wouldn't be coming, Astaroth stepped forward from his throne.
