Hidden truths

[Anastasia]

It's a fey name, you note. Not a common one but not rare, either. Certainly not something that fits the creature before you.

[Nephrite]

As far as I can tell, is he being truthful?

[Anastasia]

Yes.

[Nephrite]

"I am not going to harm you. Do not resist this."

Moore gestures as a ray springs from his finger.

Antimagic ray.

As he lets the antimagic effect settle, he speaks up again. "Is it easier for you to talk like this? I don't want you to struggle with every answer." He says - his voice does sound at least a little empathetic.

[Anastasia]

Give me a CL on that, +7 bonus.

Madolas recoils back once struck, falling into the ground and scurrying against a wall. His eyes are wide but there's nowhere to go from you.

[Nephrite]

"Peace." Moore says, making no movement towards him. "Are you able to talk normally now?" He asks - voice softer.

[Anastasia]

The others back away from him, leaving just you and him. "Can, yes. Wish to?" His gaze is venom.

Erathaol merely glances at you, as if considering before, "Aga-"

"Stop!" The creature cries loudly. "Cease! Ask what you will!"

[Nephrite]

"Your master, then. Their name." Moore says simply. "Their goals, where they are, and what you were doing at the First Prison, and where else you've been and why."

[Anastasia]

A sour shudder, "Monoxious," Is the answer at last, grudging. "He sees an opportunity in the First Prison."

[Nephrite]

"How long have you been working for them?" Moore asks - then glances at the other two, as if expecting an answer. "What is their ultimate goal? Just power?"

Take 10 on whatever K is relevant for that name! 123.

[Anastasia]

"Ages, long and longer yet. Their ultimate goal is power, what else is there?" The creature hisses.

Monoxious is an obscure daemon of great power. Little is known of him, but that's depressingly regular for the daemons. However, it's said the has something to do with internal purges.

[Nephrite]

"I see. What had you done at the Prison before we arrived?" He asks.

[Anastasia]

"Prepared and hunted," Is the answer, slowly, "What we were ordered to do."
