[A Shattered Visage] Act 1: Slaves, Obey Your Masters

[Midboss]

"I have literaly just arrived here. I do not know the details of local politics truth be told. If I was feeling suspicious, I'd settle for a third party wishing to create unrest in Gem. This is the typical sort of way after all... Although the anathema's presence suggests something more."


She does not at any time, obstruct Seven's group. They didn't exactly seem dangerous... well hostile was what she meant.

“If you intend to torture that man for information, I’m terribly sorry, but I can’t let you pass,†Bone Shadow says matter-of-factly. “While I have no compunctions about using force to prevent murder, I cannot permit you to brutalize a defenseless person, no matter how good your motives, and no matter what he’s done. You are neither the law nor a god, and you have not the right.â€

 

[Midboss]

"Now now. I'm also interested in what he has to say. If anything I appreciate knowing why someone is trying to kill me. I'm sure I can persuade him, without resorting to objectionable ways. If we cooperate, we can find out what we want to know very soon."

"There are several flaws in your argument, priestess of Saturn. The salient one being that this man is no innocent, having taking part in the redirection and herding of captive human beings as a weapon to overthrow the ruler of Gem - with significant innocent collateral damage. While I've no lost love for the Despot or his ilk, I have a feeling that there will be much death if we don't get the answers we want.


And I have the intention to get them as humanely as possible. You can come along to make sure of it if you wish. On the other hand, if we don't get out of this mess and to a shelter soon, people will get hurt. Now stand aside."

"My apologies if my language offended, I have many ways of making a man talk, and very few of them require actual violence. I intend to take this man to my home and ask him what's going on. My flying friend's invitation stands, if you wish to watch the interrogation."


7 gestures toward the exit to the surface "We're leaving, you can follow us if you wish. If you must stay here, I live in the Merchants Quarter, red columns with blue sashes emblazoned with broken clocks. I'll await your arrival before asking him anything."

 

[Midboss]

"I'll be happy to join you. But first" answered Farah, finally having an excuse to speak with the flying person in private.

“I will come with you, then. I would prefer to witness this man’s questioning myself…and not solely out of ethics.†Bone Shadow glances around the bloodied square. “As your companion said, answers are needed here.â€
