Should you succeed at the primary task I am going to set you to, you will be freed no matter what my personal feelings are at that time. Now then, we also have another issue, and since you are<em>obviously</em>not involved, you will be the head of it."<br/><br/>Turning, she nodded at the wagon and spoke simply. "A friend of mine was nearly killed, and Eloais is unconscious. Someone must have set the flames. See if you can find out whom has done it."
