You say swiftly in Common: But it's you who insist on waring, if one fights, he does things to win the fight, no? Cemoch says in Common: I don't talk to the like of yours. The only language you understand is violence. Cemoch looks at you. Cemoch says in Common: And I am sure your father is one of the humans who sold himself to Asral, half-blood. You say swiftly in Common: That's exactly what we think of you. Weren't you the one who attacked me? Cemoch throws a plain mithril dagger through the exit southup. Cemoch says in Common: Go fetch, like a good bitch. Cemoch is a philosophical lean male human. The skin on the back of his neck is covered with the tattoo of a crowned skull. He has scars on his nose, forehead, left cheek and right cheek. He has red eyes. He has long white hair and a normal long white beard. He is tall and lean for a human. He looks fine. He is in good shape. He is extremely alert. His entire face has been covered with a chalky, white paint, only interrupted by a wide black line across his eyes. He is wearing a blood-red leather-mail, a left blood-red gauntlet, a left blood-red thigh-high boot, a pair of blood-red leather greaves, two platinum bracelets, a right blood-red gauntlet, a right blood-red thigh-high boot, a small golden amulet and a wide leather belt (with one scabbard attached to it).

You say swiftly in Common: You may even find reasons to insult me. >Cemoch says in Common: Your choice. Anything else you are interested in aquiring? You say swiftly in Common: But do not insult my family. You say swiftly in Common: Yes. >Cemoch says in Common: A human who spaws half-bloods with inferior races deserves my scorn. A cold wind blows strongly from the north. You say swiftly in Common: You're prejudiced. Didn't you accept Alamar? >Cemoch says in Common: Alamar tries to better himself. You say swiftly in Common: How? >Cemoch says in Common: By not being like you. Cemoch looks at the banner. You say swiftly in Common: He's an arrogant, blind and stubborn person, he might lick your feet now and you may like it. But you'll come to realize it. You tell Cemoch in Common: You accept traitors. Because you care nothing for the people, you simply use them. >Cemoch says in Common: That's exactly what he said about you and your friends. Except the part about you licking my feet. You say swiftly in Common: That doesn't matter. Assuming you are capable of more than simple violence, what is the point of it all? From your side? >Cemoch asks in Common: So what is it you are still interested in? You say swiftly in Common: You have land in Asador, from the smell of the city it's patently obvious you can not manage it. So why to strive for more? >Cemoch says in Common: My goals, my dear, are unknown to you, and I know that bugs you mightily. But see, what you don't know, you can't prevent. You say swiftly in Common: Maybe you don't know that you'd like to prevent it yourself. You say swiftly in Common: Maybe you don't get what you're trying to do and what consequences it will have. >The black banners wave in the wind. Cemoch says in Common: Oh, I am sure that we want exactly what we work for. You say swiftly in Common: If it makes so much sense, why don't you spread the happy news across the world? >Cemoch says in Common: But look at yourself, half-blood. You don't seem too popular recently. Event the seer sold you out today and told me exactly where you are. And no one came to help you. Cemoch is a philosophical lean male human. The skin on the back of his neck is covered with the tattoo of a crowned skull. He has scars on his nose, forehead, left cheek and right cheek. He has red eyes. He has long white hair and a normal long white beard. He is tall and lean for a human. He looks fine. He is in good shape. He is extremely alert.

You tell Cemoch[-] in Common: Even if I am all alone, I'll still try to do what I believe I should. I might be wrong, but you might be wrong as well, but until I believe.. You shake your head in disagreement. You say swiftly in Common: Even the seer? She's greedy and cowardly. It is not surprising at all. >The black banners wave in the wind. Cemoch says in Common: How I can know that? Because the accused does not like the judgement which makes him pay for the sins he commited. And darling, between us two, you're the sinner. You say swiftly in Common: Maybe making those general statements lets you seem myserious, but they sure as hell are not informative enough to let anyone see their wrongs. How did I sin? >Cemoch says in Common: Now, let us come to an end. I know you hope I will reveal to you information you might be able to use, but I was already old when your father created a bastard, so you won't trick me. Dusk has fallen over the land. Cemoch says in Common: What else did you want to have back? A beam of sunshine breaks through the clouds. A slight wind blows from the northeast. You say swiftly in Common: It's sad you're so suspicious, but that comes with constantly cheating people I assume. You are just unable to trust. >Cemoch says in Common: And I don't want you to see your "wrongs". You are beyond rescue, so I won't waste my breath on you. You say swiftly in Common: I don't suppose you would tell me what I would want back and I know of nothing that you may have and I would want. Nothing at all. >The grisly darkelf with a blood-red mask gracefully enters from northwestdown. The grisly darkelf with a blood-red mask sings in Quenya: The beauty of all things doth appear.
