Allumin, along with Bastien and Alexei, takes the fabulous path, and does so successfully - coming up with a new style of home decor that so impresses Lord Hastings that he kicks the blood mage who'd been serving as his style consultant out of his home and reaffirms his allegiance to Riftwatch.

I'll set up a thread amongst the three of them discussing how to meld their personal sensibilities into a style that works - and that wows their host. Please let me know if there are any other additional threads you'd be interested in playing out in connection to this plot (e.g., if Allumin would carry out any investigations and you wanted to thread that out instead of handwaving, etc.).
