The crossbow hit Nieffar square in the face, chipping away bits of his wooden-like skin. A minor annoyance. Rather than getting angry, though, Nieffar smiled. Nieffar motioned for one of his men to collect the crossbow.

[color=fdc68a]"And now?"[/color] Nieffar said, repeating the giant's word. [color=fdc68a]"Now we take you back home. Let's see if we can make you squeal."[/color] Sightless-to-be De'laire would enjoy breaking this one.

Absently Nieffar refocused his Insight on Pact Makers trapped above, when- [color=007236]”Nieffar show yourself!”[/color]

A familar voice... Visions of the ones above faded as Nieffar's shifted the Insight's attention towards the one who spoke. 

Nieffar sighed audibly, [color=fdc68a]"This guy..."[/color] He said under his breath.

[color=fdc68a]"Deter the giant."[/color] Nieffar said to Smit. [color=fdc68a]"I'll handle the newcomer."[/color]

Smit took out a handful of dust sand and tossed it in the eyes of the giant. "Shall we knock him out?" Smit asked, as he used each of the other deterrents, one by one. 

[color=fdc68a]"Not quite yet."[/color] Nieffar said. [color=fdc68a]"Our public perception comes first."[/color]

Nieffar turned his attention to the newcomer as he  entered the room. Hark... that was the name he provided when Nieffar encountered the man earlier that day. Annoyingly, this Pact Maker had been wise enough to bring some of the public with him, the town guard The Clan had not yet turned. 

[color=fdc68a]"Ah, if it isn't Hark, of the King's Royal Guard."[/color] Nieffar said with a smile that did not reach his eye sockets. [color=fdc68a]"I must say, I'm glad you and your men are here. These misfits here attacked and killed members of my clan."[/color] Nieffar raised the stump of an arm the giant man gifted him moments earlier. [color=fdc68a]"As keepers of the town's peace, your men's assistance here would be most welcome..."[/color]

[color=fdc68a]"Or-"[/color] Nieffar continued. His smile fading as he turned his eyeless gaze to the giant man on the ground. [color=fdc68a]"-have you come here for other reasons? ... Reasons that would annul any prior agreements..."[/color]
