"Fine." Mac dramatically puts on a pair of sunglasses, then walks into the blinding light shining through the hole, his dapper form silhouetted against the light.

"No, the cold. I'm feeling a draft from the hole you just dug. I come down hear because this is the hottest place I could find."

When he reached it, he saw Mac lounging in his favorite sauna. "Hey lopen! Can you plug that hole? you are letting the cold in."

if you could compound gold, then you could heal the damage before you died. Other wise you would die, and the piece of your soul would exist on a piece of metal to be stabbed into someone.

You certainly can. Though I don't have the authority to do it, I would suggest asking @Nohadon.

Magma can range from 600 degrees C to 1600 degrees C. Steel melts at ~1550 degrees C. I assume that Atium has a lower melting point then steel, so Rhaziens spikes should be melted.And that is just from the temperature, not including pressure or anything else. The only reason why I said that Rhazien mad it was because I didn't want to kill off mraizes character without his permission.

Macs eyes widened at the stupidity of Rhazien. He quickly spiked himself with transportation and made the strongest shields he knew. He then transported to the CR and grabbed Rhaziens dissolving body and brought him back. He appeared in the wedding clearing, holding a man who was literally on fire. “Goldmind! Stat!” Mac shouted to the gathering crowd. The DA medic stepped forward with an unkeyed goldmind. Meanwhile, Mac tapped his wand and an aon eno glowed. It sprayed water at mraize putting out the clothes. Looking at Rhazien with pity, he placed the gold metal mind touching his skin. Waiting to see if he should accept it. The guy looked excactly like a skin sky walker after episode three. Mac picked through the burnt remains. He saw molten metal dripping out of him. Looks like the guy doesn’t have any hemalurgy any more.

Its advantageous to remain anonymous in this game. Lets say that venture has one more fellow. If he/she reveals themselves, then they are screwed. Chances are they have no power to offset the lynch that would inevitably follow. If the romantics house reveals what house I am a member of, then any allies I may or may not have will abandon me to avoid being caught in the crossfire, even my own house members may vote on me so that they can try to remain a member of the faceless masses. I will die quickly. I don't want to give up the advantage of being anonymous until I can take that advantage away from them as well.

"Aaric! my man! If you could start organizing the crowds this would be great. I was preparing for a guild HQ wedding, not a romantic forest. I think that the chairs should probably follow arrangement B with the surrounding crowds as sub arrangement F, but I could be wrong. Can you try out the different patterns and see what works best?"

Mac walks back through the Portal nervous. The Orchestra was supposed to be here a while ago, yet they were late again. Suddenly, a bunch of members of the church of the stick came running out the corner, carrying wooden stringed instruments. "Finally, you guys were supposed to be here ages ago! Hurry out there and start playing the wedding music." "We are sticks." They bowed their heads and rushed out to begin tuning their instruments.

I know of at least one more. The romantic who used to be in my house, (RIP <REDACTED>) said that they had a contact. Assuming that they weren't lying, their partner isn't dead. Of course, I'm probably getting targeted by a bunch of night votes right now by that house. I would gladly tell y'all, but if I do tell, then they will kill me. I'm not going to move on this info until day time, so that those who are in the same house as this person won't have the cover of darkness to hide under.

"Surprisingly, we even have a non hemalurgic department." Leaning in, he whispers, "But those guys are wacko, even more so then us. if we are the steel inquisition, they are the inquisitors."

OK, so at least one house has at least one romantic. The question is, Which house was it?

Seeing the young lady was confused about what was happening, Mac endeavored to explain "We are wedding you with your partner," Mac nodded to Rhazien, "Despite our differing guilds and opposing philosophies, we at the DA wedding department are commited to making this your special day. So are you in? Or are you in?"

While playing a game of darts in his office, Mac suddenly heard scratching coming from the other room. One of his spanreeds was activated. He got up and walked over to it to see who it was from. Glancing at the emotion detector as he walked by, he noticed that it was glowing brighter and brighter ever moment that passed. Looking at the spanreed, he saw that it was lopen's portable one. Hopefully this isn't a waste of time. As he read the message his eyebrows clime'd up his head. An order 77? Between Rhazien and yzabet? This is amazing! Mac sprinted out the door and yelled to the nearest acolyte, "Order 77 preset 10, Dakhor monastery, stat!" With this being the 5 wedding this month, Mac may bring in enough money to earn a sizable bonus. He grabbed the first Obligator he could find, to witness this for scadrial. He then grabbed an Ardent and two priests, one korath and one dereth. Finally, he grabbed a Liebrarian representative. I think that should cover the important representitives. "Can you guys help record a wedding?" When they nodded their affirmation, Mac clapped his hands. "Great, we have pretty much everything ready, It will only take a few moments of your time." They rounded the corner into a wide alley way, more reminiscent of a warehouse. "OK FOLKS," Mac shouted out to the hundreds of lifeless and acolytes ready to assist with the ceremony, "We want to have this set up in less then 20 minutes, are you guys all ready?" They shouted their approval. Mac embraced the one power, and channeled it to create a giant gateway. As soon as the gateway was up, they started rapidly decorating the area for a wedding. Seeing them move so efficiently made Mac smile. Whether it be by setting up the wedding, or acting as faked guests, these guys were prepared to give it there all to support the DA. Meanwhile, Mac made his way over to Lopen who was briefing Dalinar. When he approached, Dalinar turned and glared at him. uh oh. "Mac, why am I here again?" "To wed this lovely couple," "You swore and oath last time to let me go after I married them." Crap, lopens bat didn't work. "Uhh, I did? I really don't remember. But you know what, this time, I will swear. So that nobody can doubt that I am bound by the power of Honor, the Stormfather can officiate this. I swear, Under the Light and by my hope of salvation and rebirth, I Mac Mac MacThorstenson will let you guys return to Roshar after this wedding. Is that good?" THESE WORDS ARE ACCEPTED. "Thank you! Now lets get the show on the road!" Pulling lopen off to the side, Mac whispers "Next time, hit him twice as hard. And don't let him have access to stormlight." Mac turns to grab the couple to be and let them know what was happening. As he walks over, he slides an atium needle through the palm of his hand, removing the oaths power. "Hey guys," Mac pulls the couple apart, "We have this wedding thing set up for y'all, if you could come and be married, that would be great."

I think that this is important. Assuming Mraize is a member of house venture, there is two ways this could play out. The first is that he is the last member, and the second is that he isn't the last member. If its the first, I think that he is doing this so that the other person can gain an allomatic power, because he thinks that unless this happens, they wont be able to win. I find this unlikely and am inclined to believe that he has given up and that he is the last member of his house.

On a completely different topic, @Tesh does Arched get a notif every time you make a post because you mention him in your sig?

Purely.
