As West motions around the clock room, babbling about the ritual, you grab him by the arm and demand answers.\nWest quickly quiets. After a moment of staring each other down, he asks, \"And just what are you accusing me of?\"\nMurder. Conspiracy. Hell, he could be a thrall of Baalshandor. He created the First Among Many. He was experimenting near where the Pustule appeared. He has a nasty habit of vanishing just before things get bad. He may have even tried to kill you at St Mary's.\nWest frowns at you. \"You're being ridiculous. If you insist on wasting time here, I refuse to be part of it.\" He begins to pull away, but is held against your grip."
