Voitrach considered. He could imagine Gias killing Apathy - if he was involved in setting up a gruesome contest like this, he would probably need to have that sort of tendency - but on the other hand, the round hadn't ended yet. Apathy must be alive. One other thing gave him cause for thought, however. With a twirl of the dust he formed another reply.
'WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?'
'What do you mean by that?' Loran answered. He knew what the question meant already, but the move bought him some more time to think.
'WHY DID YOU TELL ME APATHY HAD DIED?'
'You need a reason to side with us. Against Gias. If he's picking us off one by one, and he's right here, then we have an opportunity. If the organizer is dead, perhaps we could escape. We need to fight him.'
Voitrach paused for a moment. This seemed like the truth, but he didn't have anything to judge it by. On the other hand, if Loran was lying and was sided with Gias after all... He decided it could be a trap. Maybe Loran would be less willing to try anything funny if there were more people watching him. There was somebody in particular Voitrach had in mind.
'I SUGGEST WE FIND WILL. GET MORE HELP.'
Loran was willing to do that. If OTTO and O'rylath could be trusted, he knew exactly where Will was. And the other contestants, too, come to think of it. He mentally questioned them, still wary of what they said.
'I think he is this way,' he detailed.
Parset decided that that hadn't gone too badly. He had stumbled after the stone guy and the knife guy for a little way before they noticed him again. Now Voitrach was carrying him. It didn't seem too uncomfortable, for a rock. Feeling a peculiar itch on the back of his neck, he retrieved Minute from where he had crawled and placed him back on his hat. If what he had thought was true, then these people could make quite powerful allies. Assuming he ever got the chance to stop feigning drunkenness, that is. Normally he just waited until people left him alone before snapping out of it. Sadly, that probably wouldn't happen.
