Survivors

[Anastasia]

He seems serious about surrendering, though something about it rubs you the wrong way.

[Nephrite]

"I'm glad we can come to an accord." Moore says. "In that case, I do apologize, but we'll have to knock you out so as to avoid any further unpleasentry. Would you please deactive your bodyguard?"

[Anastasia]

The efreet holds up a hand, "Now wait just a moment!"

Cresiel looks over at you, "Do we have a reason to?" he asks, curious.

[Nephrite]

"It's to avoid any unnecessary complications." Moore says, to both of them. He turns back to the efreet. "I'll be quite honest, I simply do not trust you. I'm sure you can appreciate that, if the situation were reversed, you might have the same reservation and take the same action?"

EDIT: Made a small modification to the text.

[Anastasia]

"You're not knocking me out," the efreet growls, taking up a defensive position.

"Moore, do we have a simple, painless spell that can do that?" Jetina asks, keeping her voice low, "I'd rather not knock out a willingly surrendering prisoner, pragmatic or not."

[Nephrite]

Moore's eyes briefly narrow before he turns his attention to Jetina, then back, with a smile.

"I apologize. Yes, of course, I can put you to sleep instead -- no violence needed. Again, you have my word that no harm will come to you." Moore affirms.

[Anastasia]

You get a look - a long look - but the efreet nods. "Alright," he says, the golem stepping back. "As long as you go straight out, the guardians and golems will not attack you."

[Nephrite]

"Thank you for your understanding. I will ensure you are treated with respect." Moore says.

He then gestures!

Using Wish to emulate a high-level Sleep spell which should suffice for this. There actually might... be a sleep spell that's higher level, but I know 'Sleep' exists, so.

[Anastasia]

There is no resistance - the efreet falls asleep without resistance, collapsing to the ground.

"Unexpected," Xandra says, "Perhaps this one is innocent or hopeful?"

"Or it is a ruse. Do not forget the genies are skilled with illusions and deception." Cresiel notes.

[Nephrite]

"That's why I wanted to knock him out. Something about his surrender didn't sit right with me." Moore says. "Do we even know if this is Abdel?"

[Anastasia]

"May I?" Xandra asks, "I will consult with a higher power."

[Nephrite]

"Please do. If we're being given a run-around, I'd like to know before we leave." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

Xandra's eyes turn bright white as she goes rigid, arching back slightly and rising up, "Clone! Clone and vile illusion, trickery!" she points at the asleep efreet, "Be not deceived!"

[Nephrite]

Moore rubs his forehead. "I figured as much." His attention turns to the golem next to him, then back to Xandra. "Can you tell if he's even still here at all?"

Wait...

He swings his head over. "Cresiel, please restrain him. I don't think he's actually asleep at all."

[Anastasia]

"He is here," Is the reply, before Xandra lands, glow fading from her eyes.

Meanwhile, at that the golem is moving - you have a problem as it stomps forward.

Init.
