The blonde-haired cultist glares and starts tapping her foot as she waits for the disguised Lylamwyn and Toriah to respond with their names and what elements they worship.

"Don't try to lie to me."


She warns Lylamwyn and Toriah as she casts a spell Lylamwyn recognizes as Zone of Truth.
(Lylamwyn's will save 4+8=12 fail; Toriah's will save 4+1=5; Choranth's will save 1+= fail; All three are compelled to tell only truth while speaking).
 

"Splendid to hear. Now, care telling me what your minion is doing to my minions? I don't like people who mess with my minions."
 

(Kerwyn's Bluff 6+10=16, Tal's Sense Motive 15+5=20)
Tal responds to Kerwyn in a low voice the others can not hear,

"Choranth is a priestess. You know that she ranks above me. I can not interfere between two priests."
 

Lylamwyn makes a (partly faked) pleading look in his disguise towards Kerwyn while staying silent, hoping that he figures out the obvious solution to the problem present.

Knowing Kerwyn, he's not very optimistic about that however, and prepares to distract the enemies with Glitterdust if the situation turns violent again.
 


"Ah, my mistake," Kerwyn whispers back to Tal.
He then walks over to Chorant, conjuring his most pleasant expression. "Ah, please don't mind my underlings' silence. You see, I cut their tongues out after they dared to suggest some rather... unsavory things about my person and a young acolyte under me."
 

(Kerwyn's will save 16+5=21, Kerwyn can lie after entering the Zone of Truth)

Choranth replies to Kerwyn/Dunrat with humility (her imperious manner is suddenly gone),
"Yes, Master Dunrat. A most appropriate punishment. If I may inquire, what elements do they serve and what names do your underlings respond to?"
 

"This one found the teachings of Fire to his liking," he says, pointing at Lylamwyn, "while the other felt at home with Air. Their names... By the Four Elements, I've forgotten their names as I don't like giving them the honor of calling them by name."
 

Choranth replies to Dunrat/Kerwyn,
"Oh that's alright. I quite agree. Taking away a slave's name makes them much more humble.

"I was hoping you had brought a servant of Earth. You have been gone so long you may not have heard the news. The Air Temple had a glorious victory over the Earth Temple. All of the priests that served Earth were sacrificed to the Elder Elemental Eye.

"The High Priest recruited some smelly reptiles from the Underworld to take the place of the sacrificed priests so that the Earth Temple would continue.

"If you had brought a human servant of the Earth Temple, I was going to recommend that we sacrifice him now, as I doubt the troglydytes would want him.

"But you brought a new member of the Air Temple that is even better."

She addresses herself to Toriah, unnamed minion of Air.

"I am Choranth, Second in command of the Temple of Air. If you had a tongue, you would call me Mistress. You will fear me as no other.
"When Master Dunrat takes you to the Temple of All Consumption, you will be turned over to the command of High Priest Fachish of the Temple of the Air. Serve him well or you will suffer severe torture when I return to the Temple of All Consumption."


Tal Chammish and his group complete turning the fresh horses over to Kerwyn. They leave.

The party rejoins, with Craven and Xaod coming out from where they were hiding and Belaver, Lenya, and Raner rejoining.
