Draiss stared at the medusa, the sudden loss of the small smile he had had since entering the room indicating that she had crossed some line. "Threats will get you nowhere but a fast track to my black list. Which right now has two names on it. Luckily, neither of them are anyone inside the camp. So you don't have to lose any of that beauty sleep."<br/><br/>He tapped a finger on the table, before suddenly twisting it as it morphed into a talon. "And believe me, that fight was WELL below my level. So try bribing me rather than threatening. It might actually get you some help. Like how to alter the circle a tiny bit so any clerics stationed in the area with it can waste their turn or command undeads for the day to add more power to it. Or that energy stored in the ritual by early sacrifices loses some of the energy the longer between collecting and using the energy. But sorry, given all the free stuff I am willing today."<br/><br/>He allowed his smile to return, before standing and nodding to the medusa. He turned and left, heading back to the tent, where he related what he had learned, except for the god summoning ritual, merely saying that they were trying to summon something huge, one thing, and that was why all the villagers were being gathered. "So the leader is a Medusa, an avian priest of Cyris who acts more human than I do, and a half black dragon fighter, likely senile, though it might just be an act. The avian summoned most of the demons, though I am trying to get a feel for the summon ritual so that I can help Setarra banish them back."
