Actually, you reply, struggling to stand tall under the burning glare of the mage’s three glowing eyes, you have some questions that need answering first!
Something between a buzz and a click prefaces the mad mage’s answer: <span class="mu-b">”DEniEEDD! DENiiED! INsuFfICIEnt REasONING! IrrELEvAAAANT! IRRelEVANT! YIEld! SUbmiT! SURrrENDErRr!!!”</span>
The air itself around you seems to twist and tumble like a forming storm, but the tek tantrum only bolsters your confidence! You’ll submit, you retort, hastening your speech as you notice the glimmer in the wizard’s eyes at the magic word, <span class="mu-i">IF</span> he satisfies your curiosity… AND agrees to your conditions!
Trier takes it about as well as you expect.
<span class="mu-b">”INSuboRDInaTION BOrrrDERinnnG TtTREaSssOOOOn! AnaLYsIs: REbelLiON FUeleD BY InORDiNATE IGNoRANCE!”</span>
A few seconds of guarding your face later, you realize he doesn’t plan on making your head explode. Hey, he took it <span class="mu-i">better</span> than you expected! Just as relief washes over you, your body is rocked by a massive explosion across the chamber! Your bones ache and your eyes sting as you recover from the shock, but Trier isn’t shook in the slightest–guess he’s the one who did it.
A muffled whine and a series of clicks echoes from behind his eyes before the incensed sorcerer finally follows up!
<span class="mu-b">”... IF iT wiLL WITHholD VItAE PENdinG EXchANGe, THEN ExECUte DISSScourSE… STaTe QuerIEsssSS…. YesSSs…”</span>
That ‘YesSSs’ didn’t sound <span class="mu-i">half</span> as enthusiastic as it usually does–you can tell the dude’s pissed. Still, pissed doesn’t mean uncooperative–guess you have the floor! The question is… what to ask? And will he even bother answering?
What do you ask Trier? He probably only has enough patience for THREE QUESTIONS at most!
>What does he plan to do with you?
>The Lords. You wanna know more.
>He said he CAUSED the Darkness–what HAPPENED!?
>The Cartel… you want to know all about their deal!
>Vhale–how is he protecting Vhale?
>Demons–what does he know about stopping them?
>You want to know more about Nuugal and the Khorrozeh Empire!
>Why does he want to sack Crossroads?
>What would ‘yielding’ to him entail, exactly? Will you die?
>Your friends–what does he plan on doing with them?
>Why did he show you the Teksouls?
>What’s next in his master plan?
>Write-In!
