[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 8595988, member: 2012"] The dwarf champion's words seem to slow Quinn's movements towards unsheathing the blade. The fighter gets the blade half way out of the sheath and looks like he's going to stand. Aries looks like to say something to Maur (while keeping one eye on Quinn), but Aureus glares at him and motions for him to listen to Muar. [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]"You've told us what you believe and want,"[/COLOR] she says to the Soldier of Iron. [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]"And now you're going hear what we believe."[/COLOR] She then barks in Quinn's direction. [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]"CJ, stop acting like a pup!"[/COLOR] Kang's attempt to influence Caerth is quickly overpowered by the half-orc druid's substantial willpower. There is a grudging respect and acceptance that that Caerth can feel. Kang will not challenge him again on this matter. Aries listens to Maur's words attentively, although Maur can sense the man is not in agreement with all his arguments. He puts one hand on his shield sitting against the table next to him as he's not sure what Quinn will do. The man seems to be struggling against Cruel Justice's willpower. "I have no feud with you, Sir Quinn," Aries says to the burly fighter. "Do not let it [I]control[/I] you." The soldier's eyes shift towards Maur, but he keeps his focus on Quinn. "I know can't force you to give them up. That became clear to me after you defeated Tarrak. Expectations. That's not as clear. Do I think you will allow me to take Azurak back to my brotherhood. No, I know I have little hope in convincing you. But, the order [U]expects[/U] me to at least ask that you give them willingly. If your answer is a resounding [U][B]no[/B][/U], then I'll have to tell them that I failed to retrieve it and who has it." He glances towards Angus. "It is my duty to tell them what I know, who you all are, and that you have four of the Star Arms with the possibility you might find the fifth." [COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]"Or you could just trust us,"[/COLOR] Aureus retorts. "That is asking me to betray my brotherhood," Aries replies. "I won't do that."
