P laughed, "No! It's just a coin, it is in the language of my kind."
"It says 'May this coin be of gold for the rest of life'" P explained. "Basically, if one who owns this coin becomes deceased by whatever means, it will turn to silver, then to bronze."

That.. was very dark.

*Nilaneros then waved a hand and a portal opened behind him. He reaches in and takes something out. Then it closes. He seems to have a golden chalice full of blood. Clearly magical as the bood never spills out. He chants something into the chalice. And blood-red tendrils erupt from the blood. It seems to form symbols and strange etchings. Only known to the Elder Gods. He seems to interact with it as he observes what's happening below.*

(an elder god is someone like Cthulu fyi)

"Hm... But doesn't keeping a coin go against what it was made for?" He asks. "It can probably be sold for a lotta money... So who'd wanna keep it until they die?"
He looks back at it. "What to buy with it though..."

P sighed. "Oh, cat child, you are missing the point of this coin."
But he let it go with a soft smile. "Never mind it however, perhaps you'll one day understand it's true value."

Erm, Yeah, I wouldn't wanna touch with a ten feet pole...

"Is it worth... A hundred gold? A thousand?! A MILLION?!?!" He looks at it more eagerly.... A million gold... Imagine what he could do with that!

Nergal leaned into Aggles's ear. "I'll give you a handful of coins if your able to knock his chalice out of his hand" He said using his head to gesture towards Nilaneros.

Snapping back to reality, he looks up at Nergal and gets a toothy mischievous grin, he puts the coin in his purse and levitates a small stone up before flinging it straight towards the chalice, speedily heat seeking towards it in a purple glow.

*watches him go off*

*Nilaneros simply flicks a finger. The stone stops mid-air. Then it decays at a rapid rate. Eventually becoming little more than dust. Nilaneros then resumes his work. And keeps an eye on Nergal.*

(sorry I was eating lunch)

Nergal crossed his arms and laughed. "Going to have to try harder than that, little one"

(Imagine being a cat. MEOWWWWW)

"Hmm... Maybe..." This time, instead of using a rock, he attempts to use gravity magic on the cup itself instead.

*Upon magical contact with the cup something happens. Aggles starts seeing visions. His internal fears, nightmares, desires, and much more. All in the flash of a few seconds. Small problem. Its a lot more nightmare than anything else.*

(Reeeeeee)

He seems... Unbothered. Flinching for but a second. It's almost as if... Worse, more powerful magics have entered his mind before. Nevertheless, he continues trying to use his spell, determined to make these coins.

Nergal was impressed with Aggles's mental fortitude and his determination. "You can do it~"

*He feels.... something in his mind. Almost like it's in his brain itself. It's writhing and wriggling. He hears whispers he can't comprehend. He sees every horror mankind has ever imagined. And cosmic phenomena beyond any mortal understanding. Anomalies so utterly alien they would drive a human mortal to madness. He then hears these distinct words.* "Hello Aggles." *It was a soft voice. A tempting voice.* "Why do you fight when I can give so much more? I can make dreams manifest. Or your nightmares."
