"Well, just keep in mind what happens to those Mistress Naquent likes.  During an argument with her last lover, she murdered him.  Then to make up after the fight, she bound his soul as an undead spirit.  They still sleep in the same bed together."Later in the prison, a black cloaked human-sized figure wearing a lilac stonemask similar to one of the masks you saw in the Moathouse appears in the corner near the lever, walks over next to Belaver's cell, and stops in front of Belaver's cell.The figure speaks, "You might be a powerful spellcaster when you are free, but you look pretty pathetic in there.  I can't believe you slew Bethe.  She and I were something special.  Someday when the Hag isn't watching, I'm going to sneak into your cell and kill you for her.  It won't be business, it will be purely personal.  Just so you know."The cloaked figure then leaves the prison by pulling on the lever and disappearing.Later, while the party is alone in the darkened prison with the only light being the light given off by the body of the fiery dwarf, Torn and the fiery dwarf Reunoux have a conversation.Reunoux continues, "Och well, I suppose it will be alright to tell you what happened.  If ever you get the chance to relay my story to someone from King Amaimon's court,  I'd greatly appreciate it.  "As you probably know, my race is related to the dwarves of this place, but we have lived for centuries in a place of fire and lava.  To the point, where we have become creatures of fire.  Our greatest foes are the evil fire elementals, Salamanders, Efreeti, and their terrible master Imix, the prince of evil fire elementals."My king had asked several of us to guard an item from the minions of Imix, a garnet of great magical power that Imix himself had created at some time in the past.  This potent item could not be safely guarded on the plane of fire, and so we had to guard it in a volcano some distance from here."Far from the plane of fire we were, but even so the minions of Imix found us."Maliskra was their leader.  Her mother was a mortal being cursed by the gods, her face was so ugly it caused others to turn to stone.  Her father was the most evil being to ever live upon the Elemental Plane of Fire, Imix, the prince of Evil Fire Elementals.  Maliskra had the worst of both her parents.  A being of fire who could turn mortals to stone with a look and twice as evil as either of her parents."Maliskra came.  And not alone.  A female efreeti came with her as well as a giant dog faced demon with four arms that ended in pincers and claws.  And an army of Salamanders."We fought and slew many salamanders, but we were overcome.  They took the gem.  We lost the Elemental Power Gem of Fire."Craven responds to Torn's earlier question about spellcasting to mention that he can heal wounds even though he lacks a holy symbol.</blockquote>
