Who Was There
Characters present in this moment
Cool, mocking self-assurance beneath a veneer of calculated greed; emotionally detached from the moral cost of his actions.
Garron strides into view with technological confidence, wielding a jethrik detector that leads him unerringly to Unstoffe’s concealed location. He speaks with mocking charm, using the detector as both tool and weapon to assert dominance. His demands for the mineral reveal a calculating greed, tempered only by a performative negotiation style that frames theft as smart opportunism.
- • To locate and retrieve the jethrik mineral using the detector.
- • To manipulate Unstoffe into relinquishing his share of the jethrik with a mix of charm and threat.
- • That people have their price and will betray their principles for the right offer.
- • That technology and cunning can outmaneuver loyalty every time.
Cornered caution masking deep frustration and a flicker of defiance, betraying years of distrust toward Garron.
Unstoffe hears approaching detection and hides in the catacombs, remaining still until Garron’s voice betrays his location. He emerges defensively, calling out Garron by name and attempting to assert control over the interaction. His resistance to being tracked and his refusal to defer to Garron’s demands demonstrate a fragile moral line when cornered.
- • To evade detection and maintain possession of the jethrik mineral.
- • To assert some measure of autonomy or integrity in the face of Garron’s greed.
- • That money and power corrupt absolutely, and principles are the only anchor left.
- • That Garron will betray him as soon as he gets the chance, so vigilance is survival.

The jethrik stone is concealed within Unstoffe’s bag, detectable by Garron’s jethrik detector as he tracks his former partner through the caves. Garron specifically identifies its presence in the bag, triggering a confrontation. The stone fuels the greed of both characters and becomes the focal point of their fractured alliance.
Unstoffe’s containment bag shelters the jethrik and is the target of Garron’s detector. The bag’s position and concealment strategy drive the tension: Garron perceives the jethrik within it, forcing Unstoffe to defend its secrecy. The bag’s physical presence becomes central to their conflict.
Garron’s jethrik detector emits a consistent green glow, pulsing brighter as he approaches Unstoffe’s hiding place. He wields it like a technological advantage, using its readings to corner Unstoffe without direct visual contact.
