[IRP] Return to the Dread Isle

[Andy]

"I'll go with you. I'm wearing green. If nothing else I'll blend in," Tiras added. He was quite happy to have been able to eat recently, though he'd had to get used to the ship's rocking for a bit. He was more used to horses than ships, after all. He turned to Wratt, and added, "I'm not a bookworm, but I have heard stories, and read a few, of Marquess Hector's sojourn here hundreds of years ago. According to him, there were many ruins upon the island, most of them massive in make and hardly damaged despite a thousand years of wear. Can we be certain that the Gate will be so easy to find?"

The task left an ashen taste in his mouth, but could he really betray his first employer and not get the short end of the stick? If he blew up the mines himself, well, he'd be blown up, along with the ship and his 'comrades,' such as they were. If he blew them up remotely (first off, how?), could he lie convincingly to Wratt that it hadn't been him? And if the man picked up on the lie (as Tiras' past history of lying had proven he was bad at it), could Tiras fend him off and/or kill him? Too many questions, not enough certainty, so, he resigned himself to destroying history for the sake of money, working for the people who had killed his master.
