"No true practicioner leaves his lair unguarded unless he is dead or a fool.  Too many possibilities of things going wrong.  Too many apprentices vying to usurp the master."

You feel it may have taken a snarky shot at you with that last remark.

"I'm not trying to usurp him. I'm looking for information now that he's gone. It's not like I can just... go to the library."

How are the other guys taking this conversation?

they look like they're about to shit their pants

"I probably shouldn't let you live.  You seem to know just enough to bring trouble.  But then you may well attract enough attention that my own enemies get caught in the violence.  So I'll leave you with some advice.  Do not call up that which you cannot put down again.  Do not open doors or windows you cannot close.  It  is inevitable your Master will try to kill you, as you will eventually find it necessary to kill him for your own self-preservation.  And lastly, ever assume your master is dead.  Good day to you youngling, and beware Grandmother Spider."

and with that it is gone

To the group: "Well, that went about as well as it could have...

We should get back quickly before it changes its mind. I plan to check on the house again tomorrow at first light. You don't have to come with me if you don't want to."

First just to check on the state of the prisoner. Elizabeth has no plans to actually speak to him; she just wants to see if he's acting different.

Sense Motive = 1d20+10
Rolled 1d20+10 : 16 + 10, total 26


If nothing is unusual there, she'll go back to her place and look over some of the books she took back with her.

sorry, hit modify instead of quote

he seems truthful


"Yes and no.  I recognize the general family, but not the individual.  One of the eaters of the dead it would seem.  And they let you live.  That is a rarity, they do not like their existence known.  Were you forced to promise it anything?"

"I think he's hoping we'll kill each other.

Why would one of them split from their kind? Do they have any loyalty, hierarchy, or even government?"
