Narcelia is pleased at the Matron's denial of Torellan. Though Dariel cannot win alone, we need be the only ones who know of that for certain. Subtle help is better than outright; weakening our position will do us no good. She smiles at Torellan as he returns, her emotions unscrutable behind the smile. Then she returns her attention to the match below, unsure of how she could help, if it at all.

The mindflayer telepathically responds to the Matron's thoughts.
The question is this:
Did you assist the Alhoon Syrzan or any of his confederates in the conspiracy behind the slave rebellion in Menzoberanzan or any other conspiracy, do you know personally any of the drow that were working with the slaves against Menzoberanzan, have you ever met Syrzan or otherwise communicated with him or have any idea where he or any of his surviving confederates might be now?

ooc: the numbers 1-4 were added to clarify my post.
The Matron Mother momentarily allows the telepathic connection to communicate her amusement to the Illithid. That's four questions, not one. The first, the third and the fourth one are acceptable though the fourth one is not specific enough and will have to be rephrased. A guess qualifies as an 'idea' and I will not be trapped into further questions by unfounded guessing. We will accept a question in which you ask us wether we know their whereabouts.
The answer to the second one ( ooc: ", do you know...") could possibly be affirmative without in any way implying treachery against Menzoberranzan or cooperation with Syrzan. It is redundant and irrelevant and I will not permit that question to be asked.
If the answer to any of the other questions is affirmative I will allow you an additional 10 questions to the person who answered it, more than enough to find out what you need without exposing all the secrets of our House to you. I will wish to know exactly which questions are being asked and their answer, and I warn you against lying to me.
If it turns out that Krecil has betrayed Menzoberranzan by conspiring with Syrzan I reserve the right to mete out and execute his punishment, after I make certain of his guilt by my own means.
ooc: Is Ki'Willis' answer to those questions anything other than "no"?

The mind flayer mentally responds to Matron Ki'Willis's reply:
Very well. The revised questions are:
1) Did you assist the Alhoon Syrzan or any of his confederates in the conspiracy behind the slave rebellion in Menzoberanzan or any other conspiracy;
2) Have you ever met Syrzan or otherwise communicated with him;
3) Do you know where he or any of his surviving confederates are now?

Excellent, we are in agreement. But before we can fulfill our parts of the bargain you will have to fulfill yours. If Dariel is defeated our agreement is null and void.

The Matron Mother once again looks down into the cage after taking one glance at Krecil and flashing him her message; The deal has been struck, for now the Illithids are our allies. Cooperate, and remain vigilant, and you will have nothing to fear.

There is a loud sound from outside the arena area. The arena hall shakes a little bit. Dust drift down from the ceiling.
Django yells something about Moradin's Hammer in undercommon and recites a prayer or something similar in Dwarven. There is consternation among the dwarves and duergar. Some of them are praying.
Others are looking at the ceiling, but it stablilizes, the dust stops falling, and the loud noise is over.
In the confusion, Carcelon causes some dancing lights to appear between Endur and Dariel.
Dariel's wolf has fled from the arena.
The conversation between the Matron and the Mindflayers is going on as described in other posts.
