Pean raises his hand for quiet. "Do not be deceived. Todiel has
proved nothing, only his lack of Taint. Elklisee has fought by our
side and has always been true to her word. Nethermancers know that the
truth is rarely popular, yet Elklisee never fails to speak it when
needed. Just because it is not pleasant, does not make it less true.
Todiel, on the other hand, has given us only fragmentary stories about
this place, and has still not answered how he came to be in this place
before the other two parties before us. He speaks like a merchant with
spoiled merchandise, always attempting to divert your attention from
the faults in the goods before you.
So Elklisee is a Thief. It does not make her a liar.
Believe *My* word, Farli. We have a simple task - for Todiel, under
guard, to return upstairs. He twists, and he turns, but under all this
he refuses to go. He will be well protected by us, yet he refuses to
go. He endangers us *all* by prolonging the debate, when Horror
Constructs may already be on their way here, yet refuses to go.
He refuses to prove me wrong, and in so doing proves me right. You
doubt Elklisee? Stay here, and help the others guard Todiel's old
body. I wager we will need all our swords when he returns to it."
