I will not ach…….!”“I believe your conscience is already bothering you good captain.  Please allow us to pay for supplies and services for the great house you represent and take us where we ask to go.”“You ****ing bastards!   What did you do me?!?  I feel ill!”  He is very upset now.“Help us on our QUEST, allow it to become your own QUEST and greatness will follow.”  Cedious smiles.“Rotten food for you!” yells the captain as he cramps up in pain.  The spell begins to take full effect now.“Supplies will cost you and I’m not cheap!”QUESTed, Captain Vaas d’Lyrandar begins to tell his men that their leaves have been cancelled and they must prepare for going to Xen’drik.</blockquote>
