Chrysagon, kneels near the dieing prisoner and checks is status. If it's already too late, he closes his eyes and, whispering, says some good words for his soul. (Or heal him if it's possible.)
"I am glad to meet you, Derio... Chrysagon of Mir, Iron Brother of the Eternal Order. Alister Bol sent us.
You must be starving. Here, take what you need", offering his waterskin and sharing his bread with the two men.
"I propose we search this place for any clues connecting this Viplo to anything bigger than this necromancer." said Chrysagon, considering the lair under the ziggurat.
Then, looking at Derio resting and eating the bread, Chrysagon couldn't wait any longer and asked, "I know you went through some harsh times and must have seen some wild stuff down here but... Did you discover something, Derio? Is he acting on his own initiative? Who are The Serpents? What's the relic he's talking about?"
