"What would happen to Azash should that idol be destroyed?"

"It looks exactly like the one you broke. We didn't realise at the time that Azash would be able to channel power through copies of the idol." Piper looks directly up at Roger, with a very serious expression. "Destroying that idol would destroy Azash. But it's not going to be anything like as easily destroyed as the copy. It's near impossible to destroy a god."

Arkady looks at Piper while Roger is speaking, then says "I have heard the same name twice recently; once from that (he gestures to the dead seeker) and once from Count Stokes. Is it a common name here, or would it be best if Ghwerek didn't see you?"

"Well if he can't move under his own power then he can't dodge out of the way," Felix says. "All I need to know is where to hit him and how hard to do it. Physics can take care of the rest. Sir Isaac Newton is a foe one does not trifle with."

Sam shifted her weight, almost seeming not to notice as she rocked back and forth slightly, thinking. "So, phylactery rules? We could always, like, Mount Doom it." She rubbed Piper's back as she considered. "Or encase it in something."

Piper yawns hugely. "Not hard t'find," she murmurs into Sam's shoulder. "In 'is tmpl..."
Her eyes close, and if she's not fast asleep then she's doing a very good job of faking it.
The close observer will notice that she didn't answer Arkady's question.

"Wait, Stokes mentioned Ghwerek? Was he talking about the Troll?"
<QuietRussian>The name that caught my interest is "Asphrael." Not sure if that's our little friend here or who she serves."</QuietRussian>

"Gwerek being here is an assumption on our part," Felix says."He covets the Blue Rose something fiercely, is a member of a species known for its longevity, and there have been rumors of a monster lurking the area we assumed the Blue Rose to be. Him being in the area seems a safe deduction."
At any rate, Felix is ready to get to the lake proper to meet up with Sir Sparhawk and begin the search for the wayward artifact.

Arkady shrugs, starts to head back to the truck, then snorts. He indicates the stunned slaves lying around on the ground. "What are we going to be doing with them?"

"They're zombies. They're not our problem anymore. At least we know they can't infect any others."

"Yes, and their last order was to attack Piper. Unless we can use that (points to husk) to tell them to go home and farm, I think they're going to go back to what they were told to do."

"I think Piper can handle a few zombies, don't you? Alternatively, we just put them down now with bullets to the head."

Piper remains asleep in Sam's arms.
The stunned, Seeker-bitten peasants are just lying where they fell, not moving.
...actually, they've been unmoving for a while...

"Honestly I'm not sure if it will matter what we do to them," Felix says. "The Seeker was their mind, and now it's gone."
Felix goes to check on them. Depending on how much of their mind was taken, their autonomic brain functions may have already ceased. If he finds that they somehow still have vitals, Felix will take a knife and make swift incisions to the carotid arteries of their neck to bring them to as swift and painless a death as he possibly can.
