Kurma step up in front of the group and says: "Hummm, you are quite helpful. What's in it for you ? It is hard to trust a Yuan-ti, even more when I find, in this room, a shield made of one of my kin..."

Fenthaza: "You don't have to trust me, you have to ponder about the choices you have ahead. Death or life. Nsi is a fool, he is guiding us into a fool's errand. I need to get rid of him, but I can't challenge him on my own, that is why I am coming to you as an ally and you are not being sacrificed to the Night Serpent. Moreover, I might offer the Gift to those of you willing to accept and strong enough."

Brunella listens, scowling.

Oniss asks.

"Why can you not challenge Nsi on your own?"

"He has followers, snake-people who believe in him. And powerful items and magic. It is a great risk, but not if we work together."

"great risk, that I don't doubt.  As you said yourself, we are outnumber, how can we help each other without us all meeting our demise?"

Felix would like to insight the snake woman.

"You will serve as my personal slaves for a day or two. When the time is right, I will tell you to strike. There are a few weaknesses we can exploit, but preparation is paramount. Sekelok is Nsi's lackey, a brute with no equal in strength. We need to plant the venom of discord between the two. Again, I need preparation and you need time to rest."

Felix trusts every word the snake-woman is saying.

 "Well if it means we can get out of here alive I am game...As long as I get to keep my rapier." Felix mentions out loud to the group.

Brunella is unsure. She looks back and forth towards the group. She listens to her gut. Is this a trap?

Brunella Wildheart makes an Insight check!

 Brunella does feel the situation with the snake-woman to be not a trap. She is being trustworthy.

"Well what do you guys think? We've exhausted alot just to get here."

Gertrude tries to wrap her head around the proposition of the snake lady. "So, we kill Ras Nsi and Sekelok for you. And you hand over the cubes and we walk away? Aren't the cubes worth anything for you? And how can you prove to us that we can trust you? We need something from you now!"

 "The very fact that I am here and not Sekelok should inspire a bit of trust. I could have called him and his fighters instead. The cubes are not worth the trouble. You can have them, as soon as Ras Nsi is dealt with. Now, do you want to keep wasting time with questions, or do you want to act?"

Gertrude trusts Fenthaza's words as well as the others.

Brunella, usually silent, speaks up. "I believe you. You have my sword. I will help you."

Gertrude follows suit: "I think it is a good plan. How will it work with our equipment and weapons?"

"You are to leave the weapons here. When the time comes, your way to this armoury will be free and you'll know the words to bypass the warding spell."

"Does any of you desire to receive the Gift of our people?"

Dragonbait's smell is of baked bread.

"I'm curious...What is this gift ?"

Quote from RonanKP >>

"What is this gift ?"

 "Becoming one of Dendar's children, cleansing yourself of the filthiness of your blood."
