"You want to die, don’t you?" Astralan was there with his brothers, which meant that Wilffox and Wilffin were also there They’d taken comfortable chairs in a corner of what used to be Grish’s study It was large, just as Grish’s ego had been
"We will see that you die, instead," the assistant whined Arvil now had hiripped by the shoulder The shorter assistant didn’t struggle--Delvin, Carthin and Arvil’s four other wizards had arrived I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch Delvin and the others kill this one--theyas the warlocks

"More than happy to," Delvin nodded respectfully at Arvil I wondered then how long Delvin had been working with Grish’s forht in and take the plantation back Even with his and Arvil’s other wizards backing them, they still didn’t have the firepower the Hardlows’ warlocks had In fact, one or two of theh Itto attack
"Reah can corinned Well, there was the insect in the sugar bowl Tory cut into his orously than necessary--he knehat Delvin was planning just as well as I did, although we hadn’t discussed it
