[QUOTE="GnomeWorks, post: 1578447, member: 162"] Jirlai watches dispassionately as Animus scans the room. "To live, to begin." Jirlai says blankly. "You have a certain... dislike for Ratheqar, yes?" Jirlai asks, looking around at the group. "Since we don't have much time, I will tell you first why you are here, and then I'll answer your questions." "After our encounter at the library, Ratheqar, Tori'shel, Luna," He gestures to the woman in black, "and myself were transported to an airship waiting outside the entrance. We flew here, to Cara'nor, where Luna and I were dropped of to dispose of you once you arrived." "However, en route, I discovered something that disturbs me greatly. Ratheqar is working with someone, someone who is pulling his strings. I don't know who it is, but I know that he - or she, perhaps - is a powerful wielder of psionics. Ratheqar spoke of using the Psionicle to destroy the other forces, and use it to open some gateway to another world... why, or what gateway, I don't know: I didn't hear that part of the conversation. Eavesdropping in the first place was dangerous enough, and I have no desire to lose my life." "I work for Ratheqar." Jirlai says, nodding to himself. "However, upon finding out his plans for the Psionicle... I can safely say that I no longer have a desire to do so. That's where you come in." He looks to each of you in turn. "Long ago, you told me that you wanted the forces to live in peace, to cooperate with one another rather than vie for power. I can't accept that idea, not yet... but I can accept the idea of live and let live. Luna and I were sent to kill you, and gather the pieces of the Psionicle you have, and give them to Ratheqar." "I will not do that; nor will Luna." Jirlai says. "Instead, we are going to leave here, and tell Ratheqar that you eluded us. I will not outright abandon Ratheqar, as my word is my bond; however, from here on out, I will not hinder you in your quest while under his employ, if at all possible." "As for the girl..." He looks to Animus. "Ratheqar still has her, and she is under his power, by my magic. They are heading for Koltir; they are undoubtedly there by now. I do not know what use she is to Ratheqar and whoever he is working for, but she would seem to be important to their plans, whatever they are." "Do you trust me?" He asks, looking at the gathered faces. "My word is my bond; I will not interfere. However, that is useless if you do not believe me. Do you?" [/QUOTE]
