Here we are. And here are the goodies I promised. I obtained them from the security checkpoint at the Gondarran temple. The rogue redistributes your weapons and gear. Stay close to me as we walk. I don't think your bonds will be invoked right now, but I've seen too much of those dratted things to take any chances. He uncorks a potion and drains it down, and a silvery aura surrounds him momentarily then vanishes. As I said before I'm the head of the local thieves' guild, name's Mcgill. I know at least one of the parties responsible for putting the bonds on you: The Fire Knives Assassin's Guild. They have a rather ingenious operation going, they assassinate without having any of their members present. They just put the Azure Bonds on some poor sod, he does the job, then has no memory of ever doing it. The first time they used 'em was 15 years ago, in a plot to assassinate King Azoun. I was there when it happened, just a kid back then. Helped the original hosts escape, just like I'm doin' now. Since then I've spent every waking minute learning how those things work. The one who puts the bonds on can activate them at anytime just about anywhere, and implant a command in your head that you're forced to carry out. But, their control on you weakens over time; the more times the bonds are activated, the weaker their magic becomes and the better you're able to resist. That's their weakness. I've never met anyone who's been able to resist them on the first invocation; you'd have to have some mental toughness and maybe Tymora on your side.
In fact this is the first time I've ever talked to hosts that are still bonded. Hosts are what the Fire Knives call their bonded subjects. All the hosts I know have either been executed for murderin' or had glowing blue eyes and were comin' at me with a blade.
