[QUOTE="eris404, post: 2650937, member: 5338"] George snickers, but Dante replies without a hint of irony, “Indeed, great Temoruk! We were looking for one such as you who is knowledgeable-“ “Stuff it!” the ancient, bent thing interrupts. He rubs together his hands and the dry, papery skin makes soft rasping noises. “I know what you think of me.” Dante emerges from the hall with his hands up in a gesture of peace, but George covers him with his pistol trained on Temoruk. “Please,” Dante continues. “We mean no harm. We’re looking for three children gone missing from Bellhold. Have you seen them?” “Why should I help you? You came to my home and would kill me!” “You attacked first!” George protests. Jade raises a silencing finger to George and emerges from the darkness of the tunnel. “We own this mine now,” he says slyly. “If you help us, we won’t force you out.” The old troglodyte looks from Dante to the elf, then says, “I keep this section.” It is a statement, not a request. “Sure,” Jade replies. It is an agreement, but it sounds like a threat or a king allowing a condemned man to live against his better judgement. Next to George in the hall, Serai shakes her head. “This will come back to haunt us,” she whispers. The critter scratches his scaly arm and replies, “No young did I see. There were big humans that came through here, though.” “Where did they go?” Dante asks. He scratches his chest and shakes the flaky scales loose from his paw. “Don’t know.” Dante looks around the chamber. There is only one other exit. “Could they have gone that way?” he suggests. “No!” Temoruk shakes his head, rattling the necklace of bones and teeth about his neck. “That leads to the dens of my people.” He adds in a mutter, “Or it will again, rather.” “Your people…?” “Dead,” he confirms. “Murdered by the men who murdered my master. He will return you know. I dream it every day and your people will be slaves once more.” He rubs his hands in anticipation. “I am patient. One day our roles will be reversed, elf.” “So, where did these men go, if not through there?” The troglodyte sulks. “I don’t know. I hid and didn’t see. Up, I think.” “Up where?” “The tunnels above, to my master’s rooms.” “Can’t you tell us how to get up there?” The creature lowers his head, ashamed. “No. Master had a way to get to his chambers that I did not know.” [/QUOTE]
