Rareth too shared the unspoken concerns of the Humans, but she could “read the room”, as it were, and they had little choice but to play along for now. Even if they could kill this worm, it would ruin any chance of a peaceful resolution. This creature clearly had the power to attack them here and now, which, if anything, would be the safe option for it. If what it was saying was true, and they were going to meet it in person, then it would only be putting itself at greater risk. Hopefully, they would be able to reach some understanding with this being. Being able to question an intelligence from within the object could potentially teach them more in a few minutes than Humanity had learned about the Cradle in centuries. At least in terms of the objects’ functions and purpose. 

“Very well; we will do as you ask and come speak to you. I take your words to mean that we may need to defend ourselves against anything that may attack us. We will be ready for it.” Rareth answered before turning back towards her allies. “Let’s get everything packed up here, then get moving. Try not to leave anything behind. I am getting the impression that we should not allow the local villagers to access anything of ours.” She said, gesturing towards the Simrothians.
