The tiny quasit flies to land on top of Galzadar's head and motions for the druid to lower his voice. "And try be so loud." It glances towards Tarrak and other cultists. "If they figure out that I'm helping you, they will try to kill me, and maybe even my master." It sighs and shakes his head. "Yes, saving his soul is possible but it won't be simple. It will take a ritual to undo the curse placed on him by the demon lord.""Eutharic, you must stop..." Galzadar begin to say but the quasit wraps his tiny hands and wings around the elf wizard's face to try to silence him.Caerth can see the wizard's face is placid but there are tears in his eyes."And as long as Tarrak is nearby, Galzadar won't stop fighting you and your allies." It pauses. "He can't. It's like being dominated by magic, but it isn't exactly like a spell. It's a curse. Trying to dispel the domination will only suppress it for a short time. That is part of the ritual, but the rest of the sequence has be performed within one of your solar days.""I will not yield," Galzadar mumbles despite the quasit trying to silence him. His eyes glaze over and his voice becomes monotone. "My will belongs to Lord Tarrak. My soul belongs to Malotoch. You will be punished for your disloyalty, Eutharic." Then his mind seems to snap back to reason. He looks at Caerth. "If you let go, I will kill you," there is menace in his eyes and voice. "I am a servant of Malotoch."Eutharic grabs a handful of elf wizard's long hair and stuffs it in its masters mouth like a gag. "Try not to take what he's saying personally. The curse warped his soul as well as mind and Tarrak has done horrible things to him. I believe he is still what you mortals would call 'good inside', but as long as he is cursed, he will act this way. He can't be any other way. Even if the domination is suppressed, his soul will remain tied to evil without the rest of the ritual."Eutharic's head snaps around to look at Quinn. It lets out a gasp of disbelief and shakes its head. "Are all mortals so dense! Why would that one shout that out loud for the enemy to hear if he knows what happened to Galzadar!"The quasit looks towards the cultists. "Red Abyss!" It curses. "Now they're going to know something is up. There going to kill us, I just know it."Galzadar manages to spit his hair out of his mouth. He tries to shake the quasit off his head and Caerth can see a strange reddish glow beginning to fill his eyes. "Oh no... not again."</blockquote>
