Kaelthas
My limbs are locked like stone, yet my spirit claws at the bindings. This gargoyle thinks he has mastered us, but he knows nothing of the Queen's tether.
Kaelthas
You are a relic of a dead age, Nogandar. You think you can stop the web from spinning?
Nogandar
The cultist reeks of desperation. His paralysis is failing, or perhaps his faith provides him a false sense of security. I will shatter that.
Nogandar
Your Queen is a scavenger, feeding on the scraps of gods. I have served a true lord, and I have come to prune your hive.
Nogandar reaches out, his clawed hand hovering inches from Kaelthas’s throat. The air crackles with violet static as the gargoyle’s eyes burn with an ancient, cold fury.
Nogandar
Tell me where the archive leads, or watch your companion become the first offering of your collapse.

“I tell them, your souls ache to worship spider queen, if you do not tell me the strongest, nearest, site of her troops or monsters i will sacrifice you two to a darker lord you both dont worship”
SUCCESS (Great Willpower, rolled +0)
Nogandar
Your souls are hollow, aching to worship a spider that crawls in the dark. Tell me the nearest site where your mistress gathers her monsters, or I will offer your wretched lives to a master far more cruel than she.
Kaelthas
The violet light in his eyes, it is cold enough to freeze blood. He does not bluff. If I speak, the Queen will flay me alive. If I remain silent, this beast will end me here.
Kaelthas
You offer us a choice between a titan and a void. The shadow deepens, gargoyle. If you seek the hive, look to the Iron Spires. The scouts wait there, beneath the rusted banners.
Nogandar
The Iron Spires. A tactical nest for her vermin. The cultist trembles, his resolve breaking under the weight of his own fear. Good.
The ground beneath Nogandar’s talons vibrates as a low, guttural chittering echoes from the depths of the cavern. The darkness beyond the entrance begins to stir with unseen, multi-legged movement.
Nogandar
They are not alone. Something large is waking up, drawn by the stench of my presence and the cultist's panic. Do I silence the prisoner now, or use him as bait for the coming swarm?
