"Hmmm... it would seem this man is extremely happy, though whether from genuine contentment or insanity, I am unsure. Perhaps he and the accountant have been stuck here and kept alive for so long without visitors that the only way they can remain functional is to fully embrace their assigned tasks."
*Vinoh then speaks telepathically to the group.*
*I think we should play along for now and pretend we are official guests. Thantos and D'Aleen can pretend to be diplomatic envoys from a king, Darghon and Kentelos can claim to be representatives from a magic guild, Krazixs and Father Quadrial can say they are clerics from the local denomination, and finally Attrah and Sparrow can be freelancers wandering the land that joined forces. As for I, well I can claim to be an escort that led you all here. Perhaps I may convince this old man to let us pair off into rooms according to my scheme, while I go with him to check up on what's ahead and report back to you telepathically. What do you think?*
With that, the mind mage releases his mental hold on the old man, so as to ease any suspicions he might have and waits to see if the others choose to play along.
