It took a bit for Ozzy to scroll through and read the various notifications and clear them away. In addition to the normal ones there were 15 notifications that he had been noticed by this or that god, and 24 pieces of paperwork he had to sign off on that dealt with the trial. Elgebert made him read through each one carefully before signing them. "This is the basic rule of contracts: Don't sign what you haven't read, or don't understand." Based on the events unfolding, he suspected that Leroy had been ignoring that rule for quite some time.
His lawyer also produced a piece of chalk that he used to draw a circle around the halo and sword. He was taking no chances of anyone touching them without fully understanding the consequences. When finished the chalk mark glowed with considerable power.
The Hefty Bag of Large Capacity turned out to be a rare type of storage item that could hold a large number of items far exceeding what should fit into the bag. Its drawback was weight. The bag weighed 250 pounds empty and, while it saved on space, it didn't negate the weight of the items. It did however tell the owner what was in the bag and give them the right item when they needed it. contemporary romance

Ozzy quickly read off the list to those listening. Reactions were mixed. Elgebert had made a copy of the list with an animated pen and parchment. He gave one to Ozzy, and kept one for himself.
"As your lawyer, I advise caution. If you can give me a few hours of time, I will research each of these items as best I can to give you options on how to deal with this bag of mixed blessings. Look for me at the first light tomorrow. Tonight, I will be celebrating with my wives on achieving another level. My personal thanks for letting me handle your legal services. The unique nature of the problems you bring to me is invigorating and profitable."
Ozzy remembered something, "Oh! Speaking of that. There will be a small contract winging your way from the goddess Artemis. I'd appreciate it if you could look it over."
The gnome smiled brightly, "Of course I will. I look forward to it." The gnome pulled from his briefcase a doormat and put it down. A handsome door with the name of his firm on a brass plaque appeared. The door opened and he stepped through, picking up the matt and shutting the door. The door vanished as if it was never there.
As the gnome disappeared, a horde of small humanoids came into town, marching down the road from Gadobhra. They were all about two-feet tall with grey skin, wearing overalls and workmanβs caps. One of them, who was slightly taller than the others, approached the small group of humans who were staring at him, "One of you in charge? I have a work order for '1 town, northern Tudor style, destroyed' and '1 pit, dented' that we have to fix up."
