"Items are a tool; is a rake evil? Is a knife evil? Can they be used for evil purposes? Surely. But are they evil in and of themselves? Pfft," Summoner Expec makes a derisive noise. "And if we are right, and there is an artifact there of the power of the original Bloodseeker or the Rageblade..." his voice takes on a tone far more wary, "Then I very much doubt that anyone short of Xerath's (http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Xerath/Background) power in his ascended form could destroy it," a hint of fear enters his voice at the champion's potential for power. "That said, don't even think of running off with it," a strong note of reproof enters his voice. "You have no idea what artifacts like that can do. Bring it back here for safekeeping. Do not even<em>think</em>of running off with it. Understand?" and while his voice ends on a question, it brooks no argument.<br/><br/>At Borpal's words, Expec nods in approval. "It would be beneficial to speak to each other, those of you unfamiliar with your respective capabilities and areas of expertise, and figure out how best to work together. And yes," he sighs, and a hand rises to pinch at the bridge of his nose, as though he could feel a headache coming on, "two teams have been sent before you, each with stronger operatives than the last. And as I said before, we tried scrying the place to see what's become of them, but have not been successful, and neither has reported back. We think they're dead and beyond us at this point," he sighs, a moment passing before he comes back to himself. "If you do not succeed, then we may have little choice but to employ more... drastic measures. I would rather not cause another arcane storm to come into existence, but if we cannot ascertain the contents of the place, what happened precisely, and if there is an artifact, we may have to resort to methods that might lead to such an event," he says, and while you can hear regret in his voice, he appears resolute and ready to use any means necessary to keep any potential artifact out of the wrong hands.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">As far as Borpal can tell, no subterfuge is taking place.</div></div>
