"A comrade within our group had told me about a malevolent force. Though she did say it would rather see us gone and dead rather than taken by its taint. Regardless though, I do apologize for having to take one, if not both of your pets." Lazerette said, bowing her head at least for a few moments. "There have been far more than four who came here, more than that when we left for this place. Many of those who haven't died during the trip either chose to remain at the port or weren't found necessary for our party's portion of the expedition.<br/><br/>"However, I suspect that there might be an ulterior motive for what my group might do, which I have been unable to warn them of." Lazerette's eyes lowered to the ground as she sighed. "This may as well be linked to the island's taint, which may have already tainted the group's commissioner. But it appears she has been involved in shady business which may deliberately sabotage the expedition, and it will surely be against Her Highness Enra's interest, as Her Highness was the one who commissioned this expedition to begin with." She then looked back up into the lizard chief's eyes. "I have only told one other person about this. The reason I am sharing this with you is that you do not trust humans, as I've surmised. That is why I can trust you with this information."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Essentially, I am simply going to go ahead and Invoke Laz's <em>Magnet for Intrigue</em>.
