Neither Glukma nor Emair seemed phased by your statements. Glukma remains silent, still in a martial pose.
Emair speaks, calmly in a reasoned tone: "I wasn't negotiating. This staff I wield is more than sufficient to kill every shopkeeper and shepherd here in the blink of an eye and a burst of flame. My bodyguard should be able to dispatch any survivors quite handily. He's apparently still angered at having to endure that tedious boat ride here.
"The book is of little value to you, and no danger to your precious island or its people in my hands. One could even say giving it to me will benefit your little empire..."
It doesn't appear as if Emair or Glukma are ready to initiate hostilities yet, so only roll initiative if you wish to start combat.

"Then what will you do with the book? What are you after?" Charlotte asks, retaining her grip on her halfspear. "What is so important that you'd be willing to kill us all to get your hands on it?"

Travellios remembers not a whit of this. He was too busy fleeing from rampaging orcs and otherwise making a mockery of his nobility by hiding in a barrel...
All he can offer then is a measured gaze, a keen ear, and a readied hand if need be.
Ready action: If Emair begins casting, try to disrupt him with a magic missle. (If I still have any...need to double check)

When Maerath gave lyrique the book he never thought it would be of any use to him. He was just supposed to take it to the library. "Charlotte? What book is he going on about?"

Charlotte shakes her head. "I don't remember... I can't..." She shakes her head in frustration.
Her brow furrows, and she takes up a defensive stance alongside Keith. "Somebody, find that book, and try to figure out what it is... unless you two are willing to enlighten us." She nods at the half-elves.
Half-breed... did you hear that?
Yes, I did. What does that have to do with anything? I'm a little busy.
Hmm... if anything should come about between you and Keith, your children would be half-elves...
...it's an insult. He didn't really mean it.
Or did he?
That's not fair.
Life isn't. Why should I be?
Silent. I'll consider this later, if I think it's worth it. But right now, I need to focus.
Very well...

Emair continues, still calmly.
"I can quite easily pry the book out of wherever it's hidden among your corpses. It doesn't appear as if a hail of fireballs from this staff will leave any of you standing long. The book itself is quite resistant to flame.
"As to its purpose, I suppose I could offer this explanation if it will placate you: Xargon scribed a powerful spell upon the book. Think of it as a scroll, of a very advanced order. The spell itself is one of the things that helps render Xargon 'immortal.' I wish to retrieve the book on behalf of Xargon and return it to him so he may continue defending the empire against the giants. This tower you've opened for a second time is his property. For lack of a better term, think of Glukma and myself as his proxy in this matter."
Glukma appears unphased by Keith's comments.

"As a matter of term, think of us as the people who are about to wipe that smug look off your face if you continue to threaten us. We know nothing of the book, and we care not for any of this drivel, if you are willing to sacrifice these innocents then you are a villain in my book. So step aside," Keith replies calmly.
"Or if you have some civility let us get these innocents to Drell and we can further discuss this book, but so help me, if you harm any of them, I will drive my blade right through your skull..." Keith replies.
