[QUOTE="ae1vart0n, post: 2885498, member: 40218"] Should he speak? He could not lie, he had never been very adept at it. The others had probably figured it all out anyway. Except for Dowkan. Dowkan just got lucky. So how much should he say. He could not betray Radcliff, but there was no hope of salvaging his task at this point. Nor did he wish to salvage it. He sat staring at his feet, about to betray his friend. To make an apparently powerful enemy. There was nowhere to run. Mars and the Tyrrans would hunt him. Radcliff wouldn't trust him now. Lady Syrriel's offer was getting more and more tempting. But at this moment he had nowhere to go. He was trapped, and it wasn't worth going down with this ship. [Color=LightSlateBlue]"The task was simple, follow Nae'talis and his dwarf, and carry these two items indefinitely. No payment up front, only this key. It seemed harmless and I was bored enough to do it for nothing."[/Color] He pulled the two items from his backpack. [Color=LightSlateBlue]"The key turns out to be his way of contacting me. It's also supposed to provide access to some reward at the end of this, though I doubt if it even exists. The scroll I haven't opened."[/Color] Now it was their turn. He shot a glare at Nae'talis. [Color=LightSlateBlue]"Now before you send me on my way, I want to know one thing. Who is he and why is he after you and the Tyrrans?"[/Color] It was two questions, but he was upset enough he didn't care to correct himself. [/QUOTE]
