Involvement

Act One

Garias serves as a Zhentarim guard in one of their hideouts. Brem and Garias periodically chat about art and Brem's "pet artist", Oskar Fevras. Between the two siblings, Garias seems restless for combat, occasionally complaining about playing "hide-and-seek" instead of battling.

Idle banter

• Garias

  What's wrong with the artist?

  • Brem

    Besides the bleedin' obvious? He misses the sun.

    • Garias

      He what?

      • Brem

        Needs light to work, he says. We had a chat - turns out he needs his eyes more.

• Garias

  Did that artist really paint all those things?

  • Brem

    Says he did, yeah.

    • Garias

      Why?

      • Brem

        Says his muse made him do it.

        • Garias

          Who's that, then?

          • Brem

            Gods, little brother - read a bleedin' book.

• Garias

  Here, make your fella draw me something.

  • Brem

    You got coin?

    • Garias

      Yeah, all right, fine. Who are you, his muse?

      • Brem

        Don't pretend you know what that means. What kind of drawin' you want?

        • Garias

          Birds.

          • Brem

            Like, any kind of birds, or...

            • Garias

              Pretty ones. With colours and stuff.

If the party freed Oskar:

• Garias

  I miss watching your artist paint.

  • Brem

    I made a bucket of coins off him. When we get back to the gate, I'll take you to a museum.

    • Garias

      They got paintings in those?

      • Brem

        A few, yeah.

• Brem

  Did I see you drawing something earlier?

  • Garias

    So? Can do a better job than that ponce you sold.

    • Brem

      Huh. Keep it up, little brother - might be I can sell yousome day.

      • Garias

        Aw.

        • Brem

          Like ma always wanted.
