Iados snores even louder.
(only Iados sees this)
“Iados Awake!” you hear. “You have done well my friend, I have thrown many vision at you and never have you wavered. Well done. I come to you to offer you a Pact. I see you crave power, well power you shall have! You must listen to what i say though or I will strip it from you leaving you less than you are now! True power comes from knowledge, Knowledge of strength and weakness! You must acquire all knowledge about your companions you can for someday you may have to turn on them and destroy them! For now play along with their charade, help them even, get them to trust you and rely on you for when you strike it will be when they least expect it! In return for doing this I grant you my Boon to use as you see fit. Know now that you serve the greatest of all in the Nine Realms of Hell!”

Gaius falls to his knees, trembling and bows his head low. "Great and magnificent goddess," he manages, "oh divine who's temple we invade; we mean it not as a insult to your being. We have come only seeking refuge as we are but slaves who have been freed by some chance of fate." He pays no heed to his sleeping companions, even as they snore, lost in the radiance of her beauty.

Iados opens his eyes, but otherwise doesn't move besides a small smile that broadens out and reveals wickedly sharp fangs. "Then let it be so," he whispers hoarsely, "Name yourself, devil, and see the pact done."

(To Iadoas only)
"Hah! Names are a powerful thing and you have not earned it yet! But know that you serve the wickedest of all!" the voice fades out.
(To all)
The Goddess smiles on Gaius. As the sound of a distant chime rings all of the companions begin to wake. the Goddess continues, “Gaius, my child you have earned favor in my eyes and shall receive my blessings should you serve me.” To all she says, You see about you the results of the raid of the Hakkubra, the pirate orcs. They have defiled my sanctuary. When men came hither three generations ago, they slew the men of this island, but let my temple be . as is proper. Since then, my sanctuary has been subject to wind and storm, age and rot, but I was not offended, for that is nature’s right, to beat down what men have raised. But the acts of debasement you see about you have offended me I choose to destroy this island, and all living upon it: a proper cleansing of the stain made by the Hakkubra. I see no reason for you to die for another’s offense, however. So I will not cleanse this island this night, as I had planned, but will stay my hand another day, and lay waste to this place at nightfall tomorrow. If you are fled by then, I will adjudge you fit to survive, and the storm which destroys this place will do no harm to your craft. it is a difficult test. I see you have not chosen your adventuresome paths willingly. So this aid will I give you: there are items of power to be found on this island. For the time you remain here, I will allow you to use any as if you were trained in their use. Should you find an object of magical power, use it wisely; perhaps it will help you toward your goal.” She its down and the glow that was surrounding her fades leaving behind an unbroken statue. At her foot Paela spies what looks to be a drum. You all feel refreshed and revitalized!
(After months of patience you are all Level 1!)

I stare in awe at the statue and look back to my party members with a smile.
"Well then"
I look to Keestake.
"Thank you kindly for your hospitality and help Keestake. I believe, however, our time here is too short. Best to have a look at that treasure and find a way off the island wouldn't you say?"

"Very interesting indeed," Iados whispers, rising from his spot on the floor, "And I agree completely. Out with it,, old man, and let us be done with this cursed island."
