I grab another knife and head straight for Orphyros. With a slash, I cut off any spell component pouch he has. Giving him my big smile, I make sure he knows we mean business. "We have no words for you. But we know someone who does."
Before leavin' I take up the knives I lost from that damned woman dropping me, taking extra care to spit on her corpse when pulling the blade from her neck.
Orphyro gives Rikas a confused look. When told that he is alive only by Dakar's will, the man is visibly shaken. Although the half-elf has helped Imelda for several months, she has kept him at arm’s length when it comes to the details of many of the Gael family’s plots and schemes. He can relate that there are only a handful of other Gaels operating in Avistan, and the rest of the family left Kaer Maga only a few weeks ago, leaving Imelda in charge of further operations in the city. From what he could gather, Imelda was certain that she would be leaving soon to strike at Guaril Karela.
Evidence found in Pallbearers suggests that although the Pathfinders have crippled the Gael family’s operations in Kaer Maga, several of its members have already departed to perform a desperate attack on Guaril Karela. Once the Gaels realize that Imelda is dead or captured, they call upon their agents in other cities to accelerate their plans to undermine Guaril’s empire, weaken his defenses, and deliver a deathblow.
Having allowed Orphyro to live, Dakar considers the party's debt paid in full. As such, Rikas is able to secure a trading agreement between Qadiran interests and Kaer Maga's Commerce League, which Dakar happens to be the head off.
With this information, the party sends word to Absalom to let the powers that be know that the threat to Guaril is slowed, but not ended....

Kris returns to the blind seer guise and releases the hopping vampire to Kaer Maga so it can (un?)live its (un?)life in a place where old men punch each other with magic words.
