The Trickster smiled back and began to answer their questions, "Yes, you may, Master Burgins." He said to Daugo before turning to Dimitri and with a flick of his hand, an ale mug appeared in his hand. The same sweet syrup that he had on the island brewed freshly to his liking.
"The bathroom, well, you'll have no need for it." Iver felt his wounds heal instantaneously along with the needS to use the washroom to cease.
"And to what I want, what my motives are, and why I am doing this is my own business." He explained to them.
"I'm well and alive as you can see. The wooden stake would've killed me had I not taken, uh, precautionary measures. Pyrus is a bit of a fool to think that he found my true body. And no, I don't want revenge. I never was one for such actions. And yes, Cardiloc, I can easily defeat you. For example," he clicked his fingers and all their weapons disappeared, then they were all strapped to their seats, except for Dimitri and Daugo. Those two could access the food and move their arms but they were trapped in their seats.
"Hey, Grimnir, you doing good?" The Trickster asked the frozen statue of the dwarf in the background before laughing raucously. "Alright, alright, I'm sorry. I'm having too much fun. You need to have fun as well. Let's spice the mood up with a game of honesty." He snapped his fingers and their eyes closed again, once they opened they were in a new space.
The floor was marble stone, they were in a hallway of sorts and a king's throne lay at the end. Upon it sat the Trickster, legs crossed. Next to him were three women, spread around his feet who laughed at his every joke. They were on the opposite end, locked in place to a couple of chairs. Each was suspended over a ten-meter hole with ropes attached to their chairs. If they looked up they could see a pair of floating scissors in place ready to cut the ropes.
Dimitri still had the ale-cup and a straw attached it to his mouth whilst Daugo had a pipe in his but neither were able to escape and even if they did they would just fall into the hole.
"The game is simple. Answer truthfully and you survive. Answer incorrectly and you get dropped. And remember, I know all about your abilities. And I know that if a single one of you transforms in that pit beneath you, you will crush yourselves and kill your friends. So, how about that for fighting you all? Oh, and if you try to interrupt the game, you get eliminated, capiche? First question," he said, taking a note from one of his mistresses who sat next to a pile of papers near his throne. "Grimnir, what was your mother's pet name for you as a baby?" The old dwarf could now move his mouth and speak, same with Thoruk.

Deslan found the journey rather pleasant. No orcs in the way. No goblins either. Just some rubble falling every once in a while, nothing major like a snowstorm. Until he heard a roar. Something ahead.

The eagls remained motionless as he continued on his path. Then as he came closer three of the eight took off and flew west. The other five stared down upon him. He wasn't in reach of them, he could maybe throw the Maiar-blade but if he lost it he would be defenseless against any of the Ainur and that was not good, especially with Morgoth on the loose and the Valar having him on their death list.
