Franklin house was lively tonight. The extended family members could smell a party three towns away and started converging on the house bringing with them alcoholic beverages, musical instruments, and appetites. Local eateries strained to fill large orders on a moment's notice, but the payment was in gold upfront, so no one complained more than any chef normally did. Ben and his new friends found themselves at the center of a large group of people eager to hear their stories. News of the destruction of the Golden Dome of the Gods and the cleansing of a possessed senior paladin had spread quickly. Several had stories of their own encounters with Sir Eustace, and whether he'd always been possessed or just recently was hotly discussed. Contrary to expectations, no one seemed worried about the building. Darius Franklin summed up the general feeling, "It was tacky and ugly, and the gods were probably embarrassed by it. Doubly so if it was used to summon demons. Accidents happen when demons are around, doubly so with Franklins there too." They repeated their tale several times during the evening, followed by listening to the other family members' tales.Several Franklin cousins were shameless about asking how much of a reward they'd earned. It seemed the taboo of asking to see another person's notifications didn't hold if you were family. Ben got no dissent from the others, who were quite frankly astonished by the results of their fight.
