Gobbo sprinted off towards Brock as you are left facing this elf. Both of his tomes are open, and you actually recognize one of them as the same tome Death had. It let him summon ethereal scythes, but you didn't know if they did anything special.

[color=ed1c24]"Alright, y'shit. You get one chance from me to tell me why I shouldn't end you here."[/color]

You were at his mercy. Both of those tomes he had seemed especially deadly, but you could still fight him if you wanted. It might not spell out the greatest. There was also the way you could talk to him for a bit, see if he'd let you go.

[color=ed1c24]"Go on. I'm listenin',"[/color] the elf said as his neck bled slightly from the stitches and scars around his entire neck. He looked like someone attached his head back onto his body. Maybe it's a weak point?
