House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen

[Serpenteye]

Ki'Willis nods slightly A wise decision to leave Manthol Derith, the situation here may soon turn unpleasant for our kind. Though I doubt our journey will be much safer for you than if you has stayed here your assistance would be welcome.

 

[Endur]

Lady Yyssiriryl contines speaking to Matron Ki'Willis in a low voice using the drow language:

"As I mentioned earlier, she is a highly effective agent. She was assigned here by Matron Baenre personally. And her powers may make the difference in whether or not your mission succeeds."

 

[Serpenteye]

Ki'Willis continues their quiet small-talk, taking dark amusement from her barbed words.
She has been away from her service with you for some time. She may have acuired new loyalties since you last interrogated her, assuming of course that you have at some time arranged to partake of her knowledge. Or maybe Baenre let you know that she was her spy when she first entered into your household. That would have made interrogation rather impolitic for you. I imagine she's been somewhat of a double agent for some time. It would be quite fortunate indeed if Laral never arranged to have her Dominated and interrogated. Poor girl, she's probably spread all the knowledge in her possession to every one of her masters. Ki'Willis' smile is both sadistic and condescending. She is very fortunate that Matron Baenre still considers her useful even after her unavoidable betrayals.

 

[Endur]

Lady Yyssiriryl continues:


"Well, she was never really part of my household. We only pretended that to get Laral to accept her.

"With regards to being dominated and interrogated, that is certainly possible. Although Laral tends to be more subtle. Domination can be obvious at the worst possible moment."

 

[Endur]

The roof has stopped shaking. The audience is returning its attention to the fight. Django is still reciting a prayer to Moradin.

The gray wolf races back into the arena area and flanks Endur again. The Gray wolf tries to bite Endur, but misses.

"With regards to being dominated and interrogated, that is certainly possible. Although Laral tends to be more subtle. Domination can be obvious at the worst possible moment."

There are other, more subtle, means to accomplish the same thing. But sometimes a blatant act can serve it's purpose better, depending on what one wishes to accomplish.

 

[Pyrex]

Carcelon keeps up the Dancing Lights distraction.

 

[metrostar]

The slave girl Jena relaxes visibly after the illithids leave. She doesn't seem concerned, or interested at all, in the events in the arena, except to smile at the handsome Torellan's bravery when he wanted to enter the arena.

Jena approaches Lady Yyssiriryl and speaks to her in a low voice.

"Lady Yyssiriryl, Django came with six other dwarves from Mithril Hall. Tanis and Krugan are part of Django's mission to purchase Kassawar, while the other four dwarves came to speak with the Prince of Gracklstugh. Of the four, I know of Hanin and Krel. Seeing Endur with them, I assume he is also part of the four."

"It's a pity Matron Ki'Willis thinks so little of spies and the value of information. After all, it was she who admonished me, telling me that appearances can be deceptive, and deception deadly. How ironic."

"As you have purchased me back from Laral, I am assuming my mission here is over. Have you heard from Matron Baenre? I have little inclination to leave Mantol Derith with House Millithor. I believe there is more to learn which will be of interest to Menzobarrenzan, especially about the shield dwarves and the illithids."

 

[Endur]

Lady Yyssiriryl uses the drow sign language and holds her hands low so that no one outside the luxury box can see.


"Escaped slave warriors from Menzoberanzan will arrive in Mantol Derith tomorrow. These warriors slew many drow and the guardians of the gates of Menzoberanzan. Mantol Derith will be very dangerous for drow. We must be somewhere else tomorrow. Impossible to return to Menzoberanzan, since the warriors are between Menzoberanzan and Mantol Derith.

"Matron Baenre did not tell me your assignment was over. Nor did she say it was not. Matron Baenre told me to give all possible assistance to House Millithor. I am sure she would have no objections if you helped House Millithor, since House Millithor is attempting to recover a vast amount of treasure for House Baenre."

 

[Serpenteye]

The Matron curses inwardly, knowing that her plan is no longer valid. Yyssiriryl was correct, of course, they would have to leave, and put some distance between them and Menthol Derith before it was time to rest. All their business had to be concluded today. Once again they would have to flee from the rebellion and once again it would cost them disgusting amounts of money.
