Staret Liiros Tivaniel, Determined Vigil of the Aquilline Cross
"No, I think not, miss Katrina. I must keep my word as a Knight of the Aquilline Cross. I will see to it that the witch's surrender is honored and that you are escorted safely to town. Mercy is the only reason you were not left bound in that hovel to die of dehydration or predation, for if we had slain the last witch despite her surrender, we would never have even known you were held captive."
"The witch has earned her right to mercy and freedom for now. I am certain you hold a grudge, miss Katrina, but you should give greater consideration to the virtue of mercy and how you owe your own life to it. Now, if you do not proceed into the boats with the others, I may yet regret my decision to remove your bonds and see fit to render you unconscious for the remainder of the journey back to civilization," the elf responds sternly, positioning himself between the witch and Katrina, staying close enough to the former hostage so that he might interfere with any attempts she may make at casting a spell despite his warnings.
After a few tense moments, he adds "If the others wish to search the huts for spoils, I will not interfere. But none will slay the witch so long as I am here and she does not threaten us again."
