The armored man says “I come to thee, my Master” as he enters the archway.
He sees Bevin and Girgal, and lifts his bastard sword as if to strike Bevin, but holds his blow for the moment - though clearly ready to react instantly by bringing it down on the dwarf.
The man's plate mail armor is unusual, reminding you a little of the style worn by the statue in the tunnels.
"Who do you serve?" the man demands of Bevin in a commanding voice.

Seeing the bastard sword poised above him, Bevin's first thought is to stand quietly while he soils himself, but, thinking on his feet, he decides to try something: "Whom do I serve? Why the Master, of course! Strange that you should ask such a question right here in the chapel like this! That makes me think that your own dedication to the Master leaves somewhat to be desired, and, were I you, standing where I am now leveling accustions against the Master's other servants in his very chapel, I would throw myself down on my knees immediately and beseech the Master's forgiveness for my insolence and my mistake!"

The necklace proves to be a silver medallion bearing the holy symbol of the order - a bull’s horns with the sun in between them.
The armored man, still threatening with his sword, replies to Bevin "Insolent fool! If you serve the Master then tell me, who commands the Hulean division of the Master's Army?"

As he makes this extended speech, Bevin slowly and gradually withdraws from the man until the weapon no longer looms directly above him." 'Insolent fool,' eh? That's mighty high-handed talk from a lackey like you! I don't even think your question is enough of a challenge to merit a response!" Bevin is stalling for as much time as he possibly can, here, giving his friends every chance in the multiverse to spring suddenly to his aid, even though they seem, so far, to be disinclined to even llift one finger to do so, so he keeps spinning his web of b.s., "But... for your sake, oh Simpleminded One, I shall do so, and endeavor to make the answer simple enough that even you can understand it. And, hopefully, you will commit it to memory so that you won't have to ask another of the Master's servants whom you so randomly encounter what the answer is: The Commander of all of the divisions is, of course, the Master himself!" As he says this, Bevin jumps to his right and somewhat to the rear, and readies a spell.

The armored man was ready for Bevin's attempt at withdrawal, and he immediately begins to swing down his sword as soon as Bevin tries it ...
That triggers Girgal's ready response, which is to quickly cast a spell. A giant, translucent pair of dinosaur jaws appears near the armored stranger and attempts to bite him. However, the man's armor deflects the blow ...
The sword whooshes down, but Bevin's own armor deflects it. The man steps forward and into the room, getting away from the jaws but next to Bevin, Girgal, and Ripclaw.
Ripclaw sees that combat has begun and tries to claw, bite, and tail-sting the stranger but he can't get past the armor.
