And here is the log of Gaardal's interrogation. Â Enjoy!
"Arry Dresdyn",":more whispers: Fine.  I dunnae wante te upset yer delicate sensibilities.  I swear, I though' the Adde's had more stomach than this.  Wha?  No, I will nah be waking 'im up firs'.  I can teleport  'im jus fine."
"Arry Dresdyn",":whispers continue: No, I willnae tell ye where I be goin'. Â Ye dunnae want any o' this, so ye get none o' it. Â Besides, I dunnae think I can trust ye anymore. Â An dunnae think I forgot the debt ye owe me. Â I will collect."
"Gaardal Wyght","*groans, snorting a few times*"
"Arry Dresdyn",":hushed tones: Shhh...dunnae you worry...y'll be awake soon...."
"Gaardal Wyght","*goes back to loud, ragged snoring*"
"Arry Dresdyn","Oye, Drifters, if ye 'ave the chance, can ye meet me in Black Brush? Â Got somethin' that needs te be done...In the stone building, center o' town."
((A short time later, some Drifters arrive))
"Zanana Zana looks around."
"Zanana Zana",""Small turnout, eh?""
"Arry Dresdyn bows courteously to A'venn Tia."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry Dresdyn."
"Arry Dresdyn bows courteously to Zanana Zana."
"Zanana Zana waves to Arry Dresdyn."
"A'venn Tia","So... Where is the bastard?"
"Arry Dresdyn points at you."
"Arry Dresdyn","He still be out...gonna wake 'im up in a minute"
"Gaardal Wyght slumps against the wall, hands still bound, asleep"
"Zanana Zana fails to understand Arry Dresdyn."
"Arry Dresdyn bows courteously to Iron Chrysanthemum."
"A'venn Tia","Let me know if you need help."
"Zanana Zana",""Why wait?""
"Arry Dresdyn","Arry Dresdyn bows courteously to Ququzan Jujuzan."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Salve, comrades."
"Zanana Zana walks over to Gaardal in kicks him in the forhead.Â
"Hey, wake up, asshole!""
"Arry Dresdyn","Zanana, please step back...I'll be taking SLEEP off in a second."
"Gaardal Wyght groans, the blow snapping his head back against the wall"
"Zanana Zana fails to understand Arry Dresdyn."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","So this is th' shite that stabbed our mate, is it?"
"Zanana Zana",""If ya say so.""
"Arry Dresdyn","But first, we need to remember, we need him ALIVE. Â If ye kill 'im, we will ne'er get Asdrellia back. Â Tha' is the primary goal. Â Secondily, we must afford Ms. Sasha a chance te find out wha' this cur knows abou' her lost love."
"Arry Dresdyn","So, whate'er we do, we canna kill 'im"
"A'venn Tia","Can we cripple him?"
"Arry Dresdyn",":taps pearl to keep lines open:"
"Zanana Zana nods to A'venn Tia."
"A'venn Tia nods to Zanana Zana."
"Zanana Zana",""Ooh, ooh! I wanna break his kneecaps!""
"Arry Dresdyn","Aye, mayhaps later"
"Zanana Zana",""So, who's this Asdrellia folk, now? I just heard that Kayle got stabbed.""
"Iron Chrysanthemum cracks his knuckles noisily. "That's th' thing 'bout bein' a monk," he says. "Ye learn where th' chakras intercept nerve clusters. Â Wi' the proper knowledge, ye can induce pain wi' but a touch.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Asdrellia be one o' us. Â She be a young lass this cur's boss had kidnapped."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Miss Zana kens th' technique. Th' Touch o' Death. Am I right?"
"Arry Dresdyn pokes Wyght. Â "Wakey wakey""
"Zanana Zana nods to Iron Chrysanthemum."
"Gaardal Wyght groans, his head moving slightly but does not wake"
"Arry Dresdyn","Oye, A'venn, bring me tha' bucket o' water, please."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry Dresdyn."
"Zanana Zana",""Yep! Though, when my big bro taught me it, that's not what he called it. I only found out about the real name recently.""
"A'venn Tia kneels respectfully."
"A'venn Tia hands Arry the bucket of water."
"Arry Dresdyn takes the bucket of water from A'venn, and dumps gallons of water on the prisoner's head"
"Gaardal Wyght coughs and sputters, shaking his head "The hell?!""
"Zanana Zana",""That's it? Eh, it would have been more fun to hit him. At least I got a kick in.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Oye, mornin' buttercup."
"A'venn Tia glares at Gaardal. "Welcome back to the land of the living, mutt.""
"Gaardal Wyght looks up at the man that comes into focus. Â He growls, realizing his hands are bound tightly"
"A'venn Tia stands and pulls an arrow from his quiver. He begins to sharpen it."
"Arry Dresdyn","Stay back a bit, Zanana, we dunnae know wha' this cur can do. Â No point takin chances."
"Zanana Zana nods to Arry Dresdyn."
"Gaardal Wyght","Well well, the dogs have a bit of bite to them."
"Arry Dresdyn","Aye, ye dunnae want us te 'ave te use it, either."
"Gaardal Wyght snorts, leaning against the wall. Â "Well then. Â What do you plan to do?""
"A'venn Tia leans against a wall as he sharpens the arrow."
"Arry Dresdyn","Now, I 'ave a couple o' questions, an if ye answer 'em, ye get to live anot'er day."
"Gaardal Wyght","Questions hm? Â Sure. Â If I care to answer them."
"Iron Chrysanthemum is annoyed with you."
"Arry Dresdyn","If ye dunnae answer em, I'm gonna let this big guy pull ye apar' limb fer limb."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Pull ye apart? Oh no, nothin' like that."
"Arry Dresdyn nods to Iron Chrysanthemum."
"Iron Chrysanthemum kneels before you."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","But ye see..."
"Gaardal Wyght eyes the large roegadyn, and shrugs nonchalantly"
"Zanana Zana looks around."
"Iron Chrysanthemum straightens his index finger holding it before the prisoner's nose, then turns and drives it to the knuckle in the solid stone."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","I can do all KINDS o' things that'll make ye WISH I was just pullin' ye apart."
"Arry Dresdyn","So, are we in agreement, ye answer me questions, an ye live. Â Agreed?"
"Gaardal Wyght hides the flinch as the stone by his head bursts apart, raining dust and particles over his already soaked shirt"
"Gaardal Wyght","Fine. Â Do your worst."
"Zanana Zana",""Ooh, ooh! Arry, can I ask the first question?""
"Arry Dresdyn notes the fact that the highlander is still soaking wet, and hits him with thunder, driving a jolt of electricity into his body."
"Zanana Zana",""Pleeeeease?""
"Zanana Zana grovels shamelessly before Arry Dresdyn."
"Gaardal Wyght grits his teeth hard, biting back the scream that wants to escape. Â He won't give them the satisfaction"
"Arry Dresdyn looks at the lalafel, and motions quietly, "Ye will 'ave yer time""
"Zanana Zana nods to Arry Dresdyn."
"Arry Dresdyn","So, where be Asdrellia Pemberton?"
"Zanana Zana",""Okay! I just don't wanna be left out.""
"Arry Dresdyn nods to Zanana Zana."
"Gaardal Wyght lets out a ragged breath "Where she belongs.""
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Be a wee bit more specific, laddie."
"A'venn Tia silently continues to sharpen the arrow."
"Arry Dresdyn",""Wrong answer" Â Arry Dresdyn fires another jolt of electricity at the prisoner."
"Zanana Zana laughs at Arry Dresdyn."
"Gaardal Wyght grunts, teeth grinding together, nostrils flaring"
"Arry Dresdyn","Where is Asdrellia Pemberton?"
"Gaardal Wyght","She's where ... where she ... belongs!"
"Zanana Zana is annoyed with you."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","A location, boyo. Give us a location."
"Zanana Zana",""And where's that? You want another zap? Man, you must be a masochist or something.""
"A'venn Tia looks to Arry. "Mind if I assist?""
"Arry Dresdyn",""Apparently the jolts are doing nothing." The mage changes tactics, and using Blizzard turns the prisoners right foot into a block of ice."
"Zanana Zana bursts out laughing at you."
"Iron Chrysanthemum shrugs at Arry Dresdyn."
"Gaardal Wyght sucks in a breath as pain shoots up his leg, already injured from before. Â He glares at Arry saying nothing"
"Iron Chrysanthemum","I think we're goin' about this th' wrong way. May I?"
"Zanana Zana",""Kyahahaha, that's great! Kinda jealous that you get to have all the fun, though.""
"Arry Dresdyn","A'venn, kindly put another arrow in this cur's knee."
"A'venn Tia","I have a better idea..."
"A'venn Tia stops sharpening the arrow and approaches Gaardal."
"A'venn Tia gets eye-level with him and shoves his head into the wall, keeping his left eye wide open."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Wait, half a tick."
"A'venn Tia thrusts his arrow towards his left eye, keeping it an inch away from the eye."
"A'venn Tia","You've got three chances to tell us where Asdrellia is. Once all three are up, you lose an eye."
"Gaardal Wyght warily watches the miqo'te that approaches him. Â His head slams into the wall behind it. Â All he can see is a glistening point"
"A'venn Tia","So... Chance one. Where EXACTLY is Asdrellia?"
"Arry Dresdyn",":watches as A'venn questions the prisoner:"
"Gaardal Wyght flares his nostrils, snorting. "Thanalan.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Ahh, now we be gettin somewhere. Â Where in Thanlan?"
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry, keeping the arrow the same distance."
"Zanana Zana gazes upon you in deep reflection."
"Gaardal Wyght weighs the question a few moments "Locked up under it." Â He sneers"
"A'venn Tia","You heard the man... Where in Thanalan?"
"Arry Dresdyn","I beleive that be chance two..."
"A'venn Tia","I'm sorry... Not specific enough. Chance three then ... Where in Thanalan?"
"A'venn Tia moves the arrow a little bit closer."
"Arry Dresdyn","So, if ye want te keep yer eye, ye will give me a location."
"Gaardal Wyght smirks "Ul'Dah.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Take the eye."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry. He takes the arrow and swings one of the rear-tips at the eye, trying to take the eye from the socket in one fell swoop."
"Iron Chrysanthemum sighs. "Well. That's done, then.""
"Gaardal Wyght screams, the pain so intense he nearly passes out ((omitting the grusemone details but you get the idea))"
"Arry Dresdyn","Now, it occurs te me that there be somethin' a man treasures more 'an an eye. Â A'venn, move the arrow...south."
"Zanana Zana cringes with pain before you."
"Zanana Zana",""Ooh, that has to hurt.""
"Zanana Zana bursts out laughing at you."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry and moves the arrow an inch from Gaardal's crotch. "Two chances this time!""
"A'venn Tia","One for each castration!"
"Arry Dresdyn","Now, where in Ul'dah is Elli"
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Comrades..."
"Iron Chrysanthemum looks doubtful."
"Gaardal Wyght fights through the pain, using his skills (Second Wind) to heal what he can of his now empty socket. Â His voice is hoarse when he answers "Go to the void.""
"Arry Dresdyn","One"
"Zanana Zana shrugs at Iron Chrysanthemum."
"Iron Chrysanthemum sighs."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","This is not th' way te be goin' about this."
"A'venn Tia winds up, getting ready to stab the arrow down."
"Arry Dresdyn disagrees with Iron Chrysanthemum."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Look at 'im. Â He has control of his inner ki."
"A'venn Tia","You've seen so far that I don't bluff..."
"Zanana Zana fails to understand Iron Chrysanthemum."
"Arry Dresdyn","If ye dunnae 'ave the stomach, ye can leave. Â This cur tried te kill Kayle and kidnapped Elli. Â Wha' happens is up te him."
"A'venn Tia","Really want to risk your manhood?"
"Arry Dresdyn","Now, cur, where be Elli?"
"Iron Chrysanthemum curses the Twelve."
"Gaardal Wyght","Garston will do worse to me if I say, cat."
"Arry Dresdyn","Are ye sure, cur?"
"Zanana Zana snaps her fingers. "Oh, I get it! We need to do some internal damage, then! Hrm, what should I do? Maybe crush the lungs? Make the stomach explode? Oh, the possibilities!""
"Zanana Zana bursts out laughing."
"You laugh at Arry Dresdyn."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","I had th' notion o' paralyzin' his ajna chakra."
"Arry Dresdyn","A'venn, take the right one."
"A'venn, take the right one."
"Gaardal Wyght","I have seen him have a man killed, raised, and tortured over and over."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Blinds, deafens, an' fires off all th' pain receptors in th' left hand side of th' body."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry and stabs the arrow down."
(through FC pearl) "Dovan Dracht","If he doesn't care about his life, if he's a *brave* little boy and can handle the pain...let us find something he *does* value."
"A'venn Tia","Don't you think we can do the exact same to you?"
"Zanana Zana gazes upon Iron Chrysanthemum in deep reflection."
"Arry Dresdyn","Aye, Dovan. Â Do some searchin...find out wha' this cur cares about. Â Start wit' anyone named Rillemont. Â Kill any ye find."
"Gaardal Wyght howls in pain, feeling blood soak his leg, soaking the white trousers he wears"
"Zanana Zana",""Well, bit late for that I think, Iron. Wasn't a bad idea, though.""
"Arry Dresdyn","A'venn, why don't ye take a break? Sharpen yer arrows some more. Â We may need em."
"Gaardal Wyght hisses through his teeth. Â "Leave the boy alone.""
(Through FC pearl)"Dovan Dracht","This fellow is no voidsent monster. He has a home, a family, a pretty girl at the shops who always smiles at him..."
(Through FC pearl),"Dovan Dracht","He will have something he is afraid to lose."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry, standing to resharpen the bloodied arrow."
"Arry Dresdyn","Ahh, Rendafel Rillemont I assume is the boy. Â Tha' be the little basta'd shot Fitz. Â Find him, an' break him."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Let me."
"Arry Dresdyn","Ye canna kill im Iron. Â Understan?"
"Iron Chrysanthemum","I'm no goin' te kill a boy."
"Gaardal Wyght","I said leave him out of this! Â *he strains against the bindings, the sound of rope screaming to not break*"
"Iron Chrysanthemum","But I AM goin' te leave 'im blind an' crippled from th' waist down."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Beggars dinna do so well in Ul'dah, friend. Ye know that wel, don't ye?"
"Arry Dresdyn","Find him, an' bring 'im here. Â He can meet A'venn."
"A'venn Tia","Why should we?"
"A'venn Tia","You didn't leave any of our friends' family out of it."
"Say","Arry Dresdyn","IF YE DUNNAE WANT THE BOY TE MEET THE SAME FATE AS HIS SISTER, YE WILL TELL ME WHERE ELLI IS!!"
"Arry Dresdyn points at you."
"Iron Chrysanthemum kneels by the prisoner. "Yer boy will be a catamite by week's end. I'll see to it. Â He'll never walk. Â He'll be blind. Â I will make a prison of his body that others may use as they like.""
"Arry Dresdyn the anger in Arry is evident, as the air around him begins to crackle with the heat of the aether he is pulling in."
"Gaardal Wyght looks to Arry with half open eyes, then starts to laugh ... low at first, then louder "The Rillemonts are not afraid to die for Garston either. Â Do you think the one of the most influential men in Ul'Dah would choose weaklings?""
"Gaardal Wyght looks towards the roegadyn, the laughter ceasing "Do so and you will half half of Gridania on your heels.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Do ye know how long it took Ophi te die? Â Did Hext tell ye of her screams, as it took days before I let her die? Â Her skin peeled from 'er body from the fire I inflicted upon her o'er and o'er and o'er again."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","I welcome a challenge. Â I have faced primals in combat. An' I have th' ear of th' Seedseer an' th' Seventh Dawn."
"Gaardal Wyght","Now who is the sick bastard. Â Torturing a woman as such."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","An' in th' meantime, yer boy will be blind, crippled, an' a slave to an Ul'dahn pillow house."
"Arry Dresdyn","Iron, find Renfadel Rillemont, and bring him here. Â Let's see if this cur be so willing to watch someone else die."
"Iron Chrysanthemum nods to Arry Dresdyn."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Aye, sir."
"Gaardal Wyght","Wait! ... Wait ...."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Mm?"
"Arry Dresdyn","Do ye have somethin te say?"
"A'venn Tia stops sharpening his arrow, ears perking."
"Zanana Zana",""Ooh, can I come with? I can, like, lure him with my charms or something.""
"Gaardal Wyght","She's .... she's with Garston. Â *groans, having very little choice in the matter*"
"Arry Dresdyn","A'venn, Iron, go find any Drifters, an' scour Ul'dah until ye find her. Â Hext be a merchant there."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry and takes off."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Aye, sir."
"Zanana Zana",""Whaddya want me to do? I can help too, y'know!""
"Iron Chrysanthemum nods to A'venn Tia."
"Arry Dresdyn","Go with A'venn, Zanana. Â Find her."
"Zanana Zana nods to Arry Dresdyn."
"Zanana Zana",""Roger!""
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Mount up, comrades. We ride fer Ul'dah."
((The rest is done through the FC pearl strictly))
"Garston Hext","A deep chuckle emanates from the pearl. Â "You really think I'd just have her paraded about the streets?""
"Arry Dresdyn","Oye, I know tha' voice. Â Hext, is it?"
"Garston Hext",""You'll pay for what you've done, hedge mage.""
"Arry Dresdyn casts SLEEP on Gaardal, allowing him to sleep away the pain."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Hext. Ah."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Well, sir. Ye don't ken me yet. Â But ye shal."
"Gaardal Wyght nods a few times, head falling forward as he snores once again"
"Arry Dresdyn",""Oye, ye dunnae scare me, ye simpering welp. Â Give me back the girl, an' we will nah kill ye today.""
"Garston Hext",""Kill me? Â Why Arry, whatsoever would cause you to come to such conclusions? Â You speak openly of murder!""
"Arry Dresdyn","Aye, wouldnae be the firs' time."
"Arry Dresdyn","So, welp, where is the girl?"
"Garston Hext",""Nor will it be the last, I'm sure. Â I am the Hydra, Arry Dresdyn, or did your companions not tell you? Â Sever a limb, and two grow in it's place.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Aye, but the last limb I severed, I cauterized. Â HAHAHA!!!"
"Arry Dresdyn","Perhaps I'll do the same wit' yer dog."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Why sever a limb, when ye can paralyze it."
"Garston Hext",""And you've yet to hear me howl in pain. Â Gaardal does his job, nothing more.""
"Iron Chrysanthemum","No matter how many, if they canna move, they're useful as teats on a boar hog."
"Arry Dresdyn throws water on Gaardal, waking him, but not before gaggin him so he can not make a sound."
"Arry Dresdyn","So, ye tellin me tha' it willnae hurt ye when I kill yer dog, eh?"
"Garston Hext",""Oh, this one I like. Â It speaks in empty metaphors regarding matters they know nothing about.""
"Gaardal Wyght shakes his head, skull pounding as pain comes back once again. Â He finds his mouth is silenced with a gag. Â He glares at Arry"
"Arry Dresdyn","Wha will it be Hext? Â Trade yer cur dog for the girl?"
"Garston Hext",""Why give up a flower so sweet when you offer me nothing but broken limbs.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Ima kill 'im otherwise."
"Garston Hext",""But remember this: I will bring to you and your house tenfold what you bring to mine.""
"Gaardal Wyght weakly tests his bonds once more, blood trickling where the rope cuts into him"
"Arry Dresdyn","So, this one no longer means anything te ye? Â Ye will let yer man die?"
"Dovan Dracht","Let's be honest here...if you kill this man, you are killing him because you want to, Mr. Dresden."
"Garston Hext",""That decision I leave to you, hedgemage. Â But you will suffer, and so will the girl.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Then let his death be on you. Â :taps the pearl to turn it off:"
"Arry Dresdyn smiles at Gaardal. Â "Seems yer boss doesn't care if ye live or die. Â Too bad.""
"Arry Dresdyn casts SLEEP on Gaardal, putting him back into a deep slumber."
"Gaardal Wyght looks to Arry with something of acceptance of his fate in this, before falling back under the spell of sleep"
"Arry Dresdyn","((that last bit was just so everyone else can see how tonight's RP ends...thanks for playing!!))"
"Arry Dresdyn",":more whispers: Fine.  I dunnae wante te upset yer delicate sensibilities.  I swear, I though' the Adde's had more stomach than this.  Wha?  No, I will nah be waking 'im up firs'.  I can teleport  'im jus fine."
"Arry Dresdyn",":whispers continue: No, I willnae tell ye where I be goin'. Â Ye dunnae want any o' this, so ye get none o' it. Â Besides, I dunnae think I can trust ye anymore. Â An dunnae think I forgot the debt ye owe me. Â I will collect."
"Gaardal Wyght","*groans, snorting a few times*"
"Arry Dresdyn",":hushed tones: Shhh...dunnae you worry...y'll be awake soon...."
"Gaardal Wyght","*goes back to loud, ragged snoring*"
"Arry Dresdyn","Oye, Drifters, if ye 'ave the chance, can ye meet me in Black Brush? Â Got somethin' that needs te be done...In the stone building, center o' town."
((A short time later, some Drifters arrive))
"Zanana Zana looks around."
"Zanana Zana",""Small turnout, eh?""
"Arry Dresdyn bows courteously to A'venn Tia."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry Dresdyn."

"Iron Chrysanthemum shrugs at Arry Dresdyn."
"Gaardal Wyght sucks in a breath as pain shoots up his leg, already injured from before. Â He glares at Arry saying nothing"
"Iron Chrysanthemum","I think we're goin' about this th' wrong way. May I?"
"Zanana Zana",""Kyahahaha, that's great! Kinda jealous that you get to have all the fun, though.""
"Arry Dresdyn","A'venn, kindly put another arrow in this cur's knee."
"A'venn Tia","I have a better idea..."
"A'venn Tia stops sharpening the arrow and approaches Gaardal."
"A'venn Tia gets eye-level with him and shoves his head into the wall, keeping his left eye wide open."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Wait, half a tick."
"A'venn Tia thrusts his arrow towards his left eye, keeping it an inch away from the eye."
"A'venn Tia","You've got three chances to tell us where Asdrellia is. Once all three are up, you lose an eye."
"Gaardal Wyght warily watches the miqo'te that approaches him. Â His head slams into the wall behind it. Â All he can see is a glistening point"
"A'venn Tia","So... Chance one. Where EXACTLY is Asdrellia?"
"Arry Dresdyn",":watches as A'venn questions the prisoner:"
"Gaardal Wyght flares his nostrils, snorting. "Thanalan.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Ahh, now we be gettin somewhere. Â Where in Thanlan?"
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry, keeping the arrow the same distance."
"Zanana Zana gazes upon you in deep reflection."
"Gaardal Wyght weighs the question a few moments "Locked up under it." Â He sneers"
"A'venn Tia","You heard the man... Where in Thanalan?"
"Arry Dresdyn","I beleive that be chance two..."
"A'venn Tia","I'm sorry... Not specific enough. Chance three then ... Where in Thanalan?"
"A'venn Tia moves the arrow a little bit closer."
"Arry Dresdyn","So, if ye want te keep yer eye, ye will give me a location."
"Gaardal Wyght smirks "Ul'Dah.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Take the eye."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry. He takes the arrow and swings one of the rear-tips at the eye, trying to take the eye from the socket in one fell swoop."
"Iron Chrysanthemum sighs. "Well. That's done, then.""
"Gaardal Wyght screams, the pain so intense he nearly passes out ((omitting the grusemone details but you get the idea))"
"Arry Dresdyn","Now, it occurs te me that there be somethin' a man treasures more 'an an eye. Â A'venn, move the arrow...south."
"Zanana Zana cringes with pain before you."
"Zanana Zana",""Ooh, that has to hurt.""
"Zanana Zana bursts out laughing at you."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry and moves the arrow an inch from Gaardal's crotch. "Two chances this time!""
"A'venn Tia","One for each castration!"
"Arry Dresdyn","Now, where in Ul'dah is Elli"
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Comrades..."
"Iron Chrysanthemum looks doubtful."
"Gaardal Wyght fights through the pain, using his skills (Second Wind) to heal what he can of his now empty socket. Â His voice is hoarse when he answers "Go to the void.""
"Arry Dresdyn","One"
"Zanana Zana shrugs at Iron Chrysanthemum."
"Iron Chrysanthemum sighs."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","This is not th' way te be goin' about this."
"A'venn Tia winds up, getting ready to stab the arrow down."
"Arry Dresdyn disagrees with Iron Chrysanthemum."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Look at 'im. Â He has control of his inner ki."
"A'venn Tia","You've seen so far that I don't bluff..."
"Zanana Zana fails to understand Iron Chrysanthemum."
"Arry Dresdyn","If ye dunnae 'ave the stomach, ye can leave. Â This cur tried te kill Kayle and kidnapped Elli. Â Wha' happens is up te him."
"A'venn Tia","Really want to risk your manhood?"
"Arry Dresdyn","Now, cur, where be Elli?"
"Iron Chrysanthemum curses the Twelve."
"Gaardal Wyght","Garston will do worse to me if I say, cat."
"Arry Dresdyn","Are ye sure, cur?"
"Zanana Zana snaps her fingers. "Oh, I get it! We need to do some internal damage, then! Hrm, what should I do? Maybe crush the lungs? Make the stomach explode? Oh, the possibilities!""
"Zanana Zana bursts out laughing."
"You laugh at Arry Dresdyn."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","I had th' notion o' paralyzin' his ajna chakra."
"Arry Dresdyn","A'venn, take the right one."
"A'venn, take the right one."
"Gaardal Wyght","I have seen him have a man killed, raised, and tortured over and over."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Blinds, deafens, an' fires off all th' pain receptors in th' left hand side of th' body."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry and stabs the arrow down."
(through FC pearl) "Dovan Dracht","If he doesn't care about his life, if he's a *brave* little boy and can handle the pain...let us find something he *does* value."
"A'venn Tia","Don't you think we can do the exact same to you?"
"Zanana Zana gazes upon Iron Chrysanthemum in deep reflection."
"Arry Dresdyn","Aye, Dovan. Â Do some searchin...find out wha' this cur cares about. Â Start wit' anyone named Rillemont. Â Kill any ye find."
"Gaardal Wyght howls in pain, feeling blood soak his leg, soaking the white trousers he wears"
"Zanana Zana",""Well, bit late for that I think, Iron. Wasn't a bad idea, though.""
"Arry Dresdyn","A'venn, why don't ye take a break? Sharpen yer arrows some more. Â We may need em."
"Gaardal Wyght hisses through his teeth. Â "Leave the boy alone.""
(Through FC pearl)"Dovan Dracht","This fellow is no voidsent monster. He has a home, a family, a pretty girl at the shops who always smiles at him..."
(Through FC pearl),"Dovan Dracht","He will have something he is afraid to lose."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry, standing to resharpen the bloodied arrow."
"Arry Dresdyn","Ahh, Rendafel Rillemont I assume is the boy. Â Tha' be the little basta'd shot Fitz. Â Find him, an' break him."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Let me."
"Arry Dresdyn","Ye canna kill im Iron. Â Understan?"
"Iron Chrysanthemum","I'm no goin' te kill a boy."
"Gaardal Wyght","I said leave him out of this! Â *he strains against the bindings, the sound of rope screaming to not break*"
"Iron Chrysanthemum","But I AM goin' te leave 'im blind an' crippled from th' waist down."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Beggars dinna do so well in Ul'dah, friend. Ye know that wel, don't ye?"
"Arry Dresdyn","Find him, an' bring 'im here. Â He can meet A'venn."
"A'venn Tia","Why should we?"
"A'venn Tia","You didn't leave any of our friends' family out of it."
"Say","Arry Dresdyn","IF YE DUNNAE WANT THE BOY TE MEET THE SAME FATE AS HIS SISTER, YE WILL TELL ME WHERE ELLI IS!!"
"Arry Dresdyn points at you."
"Iron Chrysanthemum kneels by the prisoner. "Yer boy will be a catamite by week's end. I'll see to it. Â He'll never walk. Â He'll be blind. Â I will make a prison of his body that others may use as they like.""
"Arry Dresdyn the anger in Arry is evident, as the air around him begins to crackle with the heat of the aether he is pulling in."
"Gaardal Wyght looks to Arry with half open eyes, then starts to laugh ... low at first, then louder "The Rillemonts are not afraid to die for Garston either. Â Do you think the one of the most influential men in Ul'Dah would choose weaklings?""
"Gaardal Wyght looks towards the roegadyn, the laughter ceasing "Do so and you will half half of Gridania on your heels.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Do ye know how long it took Ophi te die? Â Did Hext tell ye of her screams, as it took days before I let her die? Â Her skin peeled from 'er body from the fire I inflicted upon her o'er and o'er and o'er again."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","I welcome a challenge. Â I have faced primals in combat. An' I have th' ear of th' Seedseer an' th' Seventh Dawn."
"Gaardal Wyght","Now who is the sick bastard. Â Torturing a woman as such."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","An' in th' meantime, yer boy will be blind, crippled, an' a slave to an Ul'dahn pillow house."
"Arry Dresdyn","Iron, find Renfadel Rillemont, and bring him here. Â Let's see if this cur be so willing to watch someone else die."
"Iron Chrysanthemum nods to Arry Dresdyn."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Aye, sir."
"Gaardal Wyght","Wait! ... Wait ...."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Mm?"
"Arry Dresdyn","Do ye have somethin te say?"
"A'venn Tia stops sharpening his arrow, ears perking."
"Zanana Zana",""Ooh, can I come with? I can, like, lure him with my charms or something.""
"Gaardal Wyght","She's .... she's with Garston. Â *groans, having very little choice in the matter*"
"Arry Dresdyn","A'venn, Iron, go find any Drifters, an' scour Ul'dah until ye find her. Â Hext be a merchant there."
"A'venn Tia nods to Arry and takes off."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Aye, sir."
"Zanana Zana",""Whaddya want me to do? I can help too, y'know!""
"Iron Chrysanthemum nods to A'venn Tia."
"Arry Dresdyn","Go with A'venn, Zanana. Â Find her."
"Zanana Zana nods to Arry Dresdyn."
"Zanana Zana",""Roger!""
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Mount up, comrades. We ride fer Ul'dah."
((The rest is done through the FC pearl strictly))
"Garston Hext","A deep chuckle emanates from the pearl. Â "You really think I'd just have her paraded about the streets?""
"Arry Dresdyn","Oye, I know tha' voice. Â Hext, is it?"
"Garston Hext",""You'll pay for what you've done, hedge mage.""
"Arry Dresdyn casts SLEEP on Gaardal, allowing him to sleep away the pain."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Hext. Ah."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Well, sir. Ye don't ken me yet. Â But ye shal."
"Gaardal Wyght nods a few times, head falling forward as he snores once again"
"Arry Dresdyn",""Oye, ye dunnae scare me, ye simpering welp. Â Give me back the girl, an' we will nah kill ye today.""
"Garston Hext",""Kill me? Â Why Arry, whatsoever would cause you to come to such conclusions? Â You speak openly of murder!""
"Arry Dresdyn","Aye, wouldnae be the firs' time."
"Arry Dresdyn","So, welp, where is the girl?"
"Garston Hext",""Nor will it be the last, I'm sure. Â I am the Hydra, Arry Dresdyn, or did your companions not tell you? Â Sever a limb, and two grow in it's place.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Aye, but the last limb I severed, I cauterized. Â HAHAHA!!!"
"Arry Dresdyn","Perhaps I'll do the same wit' yer dog."
"Iron Chrysanthemum","Why sever a limb, when ye can paralyze it."
"Garston Hext",""And you've yet to hear me howl in pain. Â Gaardal does his job, nothing more.""
"Iron Chrysanthemum","No matter how many, if they canna move, they're useful as teats on a boar hog."
"Arry Dresdyn throws water on Gaardal, waking him, but not before gaggin him so he can not make a sound."
"Arry Dresdyn","So, ye tellin me tha' it willnae hurt ye when I kill yer dog, eh?"
"Garston Hext",""Oh, this one I like. Â It speaks in empty metaphors regarding matters they know nothing about.""
"Gaardal Wyght shakes his head, skull pounding as pain comes back once again. Â He finds his mouth is silenced with a gag. Â He glares at Arry"
"Arry Dresdyn","Wha will it be Hext? Â Trade yer cur dog for the girl?"
"Garston Hext",""Why give up a flower so sweet when you offer me nothing but broken limbs.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Ima kill 'im otherwise."
"Garston Hext",""But remember this: I will bring to you and your house tenfold what you bring to mine.""
"Gaardal Wyght weakly tests his bonds once more, blood trickling where the rope cuts into him"
"Arry Dresdyn","So, this one no longer means anything te ye? Â Ye will let yer man die?"
"Dovan Dracht","Let's be honest here...if you kill this man, you are killing him because you want to, Mr. Dresden."
"Garston Hext",""That decision I leave to you, hedgemage. Â But you will suffer, and so will the girl.""
"Arry Dresdyn","Then let his death be on you. Â :taps the pearl to turn it off:"
"Arry Dresdyn smiles at Gaardal. Â "Seems yer boss doesn't care if ye live or die. Â Too bad.""
"Arry Dresdyn casts SLEEP on Gaardal, putting him back into a deep slumber."
"Gaardal Wyght looks to Arry with something of acceptance of his fate in this, before falling back under the spell of sleep"
"Arry Dresdyn","((that last bit was just so everyone else can see how tonight's RP ends...thanks for playing!!))"
