Calm down Khait! Now seize them and their weapons as well. You go down on knees,<strong>now</strong>." Addressing the mercenaries, now prisoners, to go down on their knees once group had moved to hold their hands and tied them (if anyone having rope handily on them). Waiting until mercenaries are bound and knelt and weapons secured (and this point his summons faded away) he speaks; "You gave us no quarter as you ambushed our group nor when you cornered us in here. So to give you quarter I demand you become slaves under brand of Asmodeus, nothing less than absolute obedience to dark lord I do not accept as a oath from you lot. You will live, serve and fight for me as part of said oath. Die if neccesary for your service. You may earn glory under the service and live enjoy it, but your lives and souls belong to Asmodeus and me as his proxy, to me."
