Gavin lets his power loose. Four of the five remaining thugs drop unconscious, the last still too unnerved to truly struggle against the shadows holding him fast. The masked man drops to his knees in front of the Hellknight, who looms over him, unmoving. There is a brief moment of silence, and Gavin feels a chill go down his spine as the red glow gazes into the young guardsman.

Slowly, the knight leans down, putting a hand on the much smaller man's shoulder, and whispers a single word into Gavin's ear.

"Liar."

Make a Will Save.


The Maralictor stands back to his full height. "Truth be told, the Order was unaware of this meeting. If you speak truly, you will be well rewarded for the information. Perhaps arrangements can even be made for a trial, to see if you have what it takes to join us. In any case, do as you will with these five. I would hope that my point has been made." And so saying, the knight turns, the tip of his sword brushing against the cloth of Gavin's shirt, and he stalks back into the mists.
