The team was in a very peculiar situation. Tim had this ten foot tall ape on a choke hold, but since he was pouring mana into this advantage that he made for himself, he couldn’t keep things going for long, as his mana pool was not infinite! The Soul Grabber ability was currently taking sixty points of mana out of him, every second, and this example was not cheap.
That aside, this ape seems to be quite tolerant to the team's attacks, they wouldn't be able to kill him so easily even if they wanted to! Tim felt that he had to negotiate.
“Do we have to kill you, sir Lestuk?” He bluffed.
“You can try,” The other picked up on his bluff.
“You want me to try, huh? Okay.” Tim threatened, but this time he wasn’t bluffing as much, because he wasn't as clueless anymore - He had an idea! “Skendus, what do you make of his brain?”
“Intelligent for an ape, but I'm probably smarter than him… by a nudge.” Skendus was quick to answer.
