[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 3968123, member: 5868"] Athal shouted: "If you're Dvoras, I have a message from Captain Harliss." The half-orc responded: "Make a move and she dies. I'm waiting for Vanthus." "We'll help you deal with Vanthus," Morderas suggested. "We're on your side." "I'm not interested in sides," Dvoras responded, tightening his grip on Lavinia. "Leave".
