Samil's smile wavers as he considers you more carefully. "Ah, you see! That is why I like you. Always searching for the advantage. The creatures do not answer my call," he says, looking to the great A'Dendri. "But I have learned to ride his madness and even steer its course on occasion. I suppose I could give it a try on your behalf. After all, it would be a waste to have had you come all this way only to die before you could make the most important choice of your life."

Samil closes his eyes, and you see the creatures lurking in the shadows start to quiver as if struggling to resist their own will and instinctive desires. Samil appears to strain under the effort when suddenly, his eyes open again. "There. I have bought you a bit more time. Use it wisely, Oathsworn."
