We fully realize that you require the tools of your trade. As such, taking them away would cause more harm than good. Instead, the high chancellor has prepared a series of interlocking enchantments. We've been looking for someone like your group for quite some time, actually.""Should you choose to turn your back on the Marchioness at some point in the future, we will simply cause the spells to trigger with the appropriate command word. What will it do? Let's hope you never find out. And should you complete your task, I will have the chancellor remove the spell.""Of course, this was rather expensive as a preparation. One spell to place the curse, another to seal it, then another with a rather specific contingency, and finally one to conceal the change. We only performed this deed to a single item, partially out of cost and partially out of plan. We will not reveal which item is cursed. Thus, you have no reason to discard them all for replacements, as most of them are untarnished. Yet, they all carry the weight of potentially putting you at her mercy. There is no harm that will come of you if you follow the Marchioness Emondav's orders.""So that's collateral?""Not enough, but it's something.""In addition, I think it can be agreed to that you are welcome to any other treasure you find in the dungeons that goes outside of the boundaries of information on the Marquis and/or the dark elves.""Nothing else is of value, afterall."OOC: Don't hurt me!
