Craven tries to twist away from the cultist's grip and instead attempt to wrench the man's arms behind him so he can be subdued. "There will be no sacrifices today," he growls softly.

"Good, good," Craven says sternly as he holds the cultist from squirming. "Someone take the rope from my pack and tie him up. You, sir, will be telling us a great many of your secrets, but I doubt anything you say will do much to mitigate the evil you've done here."

Craven's thoughts drift away from the scene of evil cultists and dark temples to memories of brighter days.
Craven remembers a day soon after he started taking martial lessons from the Temple of St. Cuthbert and before Xaod descended into alcoholism.
In between lessons in swordplay, the veteran crusader Xaod lectured Craven on Good and Evil. "Evil turns upon itself. The good are selfless and serve others. The evil ones are selfish and serve only themselves." One hundred times or more, Xaod repeated those words Craven. To the point where Craven could recite them in his sleep.

Festrath begins to talk quickly, almost uncontrollably.
"My secrets you desire. But Ysslansh you do not know.
No no no, that won't do, won't do AT ALL!
Words, words, words do nothing! Be nothing!
From nothing did you come, and to nothing you will return!
Ha hah hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
We can live under the shadow of the Dark Lord himself! He speaks to us through his dreams!
Speak his name and be blessed!
Light the incense and see the truth!
Feel free to eat of the blessed fruit, or drink of the water.
You will never find the gem."
In addition to his +1 dagger and +1 short sword, his masterwork full plate armor, his masterwork large metal shield, his amulet, and his fur lined cloak, Festrath also had a scroll on him. The scroll contained the following message written in the common tongue.
We shall soon strike against the perfidious Fire Temple! Return quickly, Master Festrath, and revel in the blight! The cold waters of the caldera lust for the flesh and bones of the heretics! Waves pound relentlessly! Soon we shall have the favor of the Doomdreamers, and the Triad itself!
