Roark watches you rush towards him with hate and fear in his eyes. 'Help me, master,' he whimpers, rising unsteadily and drawing a slim-bladed sword from beneath his black robes.

Demonlord Tagazin answers his servant with a thunderous growl but does not hasten his pace to save him from your attack. He seems to be enjoying the fear that Roark displays, and as you strike his growl changes to a hideous snigger.
