Pean, however, is smiling sardonically, and at the end of the speech
claps his hands sarcastically.
"A good speech. Much practice have you? Satisfied, you ask? Not in
the least. You explain how the others arrived, but not how you got
here. But there is a simple test, I think. I have noticed you stay
close to Temorya. If what you say is true, you wont mind being
separated from him for a while. We're a robust band of adventurers, we
can look after both bodies, as we have just amply demonstrated. How
about you accompany a few of us to the entrance while Temorya remains
here? If what you say is true, this will not cause you any problems.
If, as I suspect, your proximity is the key to taking over our friends
body, it will soon be proved. Now, if you're as innocent as you claim,
you'll readily agree, hmm?"
As he is speaking, he is also attempting to astrally perceive both
Temorya and Tobias, and trace the thread going from Tobias..
