“I took her hand, but lost her as the battle turned crazier.” Silver says, turning to face you. And you don't need telepathy to know that he's lying, and wants you to go along with his story as well. “More and more folk showed up, each trying to get their hands on it. But she escaped when no one was looking, focused on that little goblin's madness and his terror machines he could just create out of thin air. When he fell, we realized that the amulet he'd been holding was a fake, and the real one nowhere to be seen.”
“Damn, I can't believe that they have the real one.” Illumi says, shaking his head. “With that cursed artifact in their possession, there's no telling the damage they could do. Finding their hideouts is now a top priority, they MUST not be allowed to unleash...”
“On that much we agree.” Silver says, Illumi clearly relaxing at Silver's sincere-sounding words over the momentary pause. The assassin clearly not aware you know what evil being lurks inside the cursed medallion. “No matter what, that artifact cannot be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.”
“That they now have it is urgent news, I must go and tell Father immediately.” Illumi says, giving a curt bow to the older man before turning back towards you. “Forgive me, but I must depart immediately.”
Well? What do you do?
>Don't say anything and let him leave, then telepathically ask Silver why he lied to the assassin about the amulet being taken by the Lin Kuei and not that you all saved it>Tell him to wait, you're not done questioning him yet>You think it's safe enough to go against Silver on this one, let Illumi know outside the mess hall that you have the amulet in your possession, and no one can reach it where it now sits. Unless they can battle New Salda itself for that cursed artifact down in the planet's core>Other(write in)
