Nearos felt violated, feeling the effects of how she weaponized his words against him.<i>I hope she doesn't mean literally, regardless I am pretty much doomed so what else is going to change.</i>Finally as he was released he stretched and looked to his companion.<b>"See what did I tell you my plan worked," </b>he said while looking back to the now open fortress.<i>I wonder how many of these skeletons were lost solicitors trying to ply their wares,</i>he thought to himself.<br/><br/>Heinrich wasn't having it, growling he kicked a few rocks and looked around trying to find his axe.<b>"The bloody skeletons took ELGA!!! OI YE OLD CUNT GIMME BACK ME AXE!"</b><br/><br/>The Vegabond quickly rushed to his companion and put his hand to his mouth.<b>"Quiet you fool, she has finally given us the ancient right of hospitality. I am sure it will be returned once we take our leave. Besides the blade would just pass through the ribs and not gut as intended."  </b>Though deep down Nearos was unsettled that his muscular companion did not have his weapon. Maybe he would need to pull his inner reserves for just a pinch of power.<br/><br/>The Dwarf shoved Nearos away and spat at his feet. Lunging at the vegabond he pushed a fat dirty finger at his face.<b>"This be the third time you fucked me lad!,"</b>he growled, at the human.<b>"We Dwarves keep grudges closed to our chests, I will get even with ye friend or nay mark me words ye flabba gastar!"</b>With that Heinrich started making his way with the elegance of a drunken orc towards the entrance of the state. It took Nearos a second to let those words sink in before he released that allowing his companion in this current state entrance alone would be suicide.<br/><br/><b>"Heinrich wait!" </b><br/><br/>The Dwarf returned the request with a rude gesture. Finally a chill overtook Nearos as he realized that the Lich was standing there watching every interaction. Turning he took in a deep breath, she was beautiful, yet despite her grace the con man felt like he was stuck in a spiders web.<br/><br/><b>"So uh.... I'm Nearos, the stout little firecracker that's Heinrich. Let's just say it's been a dreadful few months of traveling and we're both very wary. To be honest we're in your realm and holdings so before I go making demands I will allow you to pick my brain first. I mean my days are numbered anyways and you don't have uh... Many living friends that would want to travel to all of these fine beacons of civilization to spread all of my secrets."</b><i>Besides there's no point in lying now, magic users had means to just pick the information away and I really do not want thoughts forcefully plucked from my skull, I've experienced that before and I will not again.</i>
