Escaping Tep

Gosh... I barely escaped. A few more minutes and my remains would have been scattered as far as Tep's strongholds. Thank you!
My name is Charles de Doucer. My friends and I escaped and hid among the remains of the ships, but they tracked us. The battle was brief. I fled, but I couldn't get far. If it weren't for you, that would have been the end of me.
Sorry for asking you to risk your life, but I'm no fighter. Please go to that ship and take a look: maybe some of ours survived. If Tep's servants are still there... I think you'll handle them. Be careful, though: that's an elite squad after all!

I hope some of ours are still alive.

So they're all dead... Well then. Nothing we can do. We all knew the risks.
Wait, wait, describe that elf in more detail... Whoa! You have any idea who she was? Nihil, one of Tep's close acolytes and a genuine inventor. She had her hand in everything running and creeping around here. A scary woman... Praise be to the Light that the cultists don't resurrect!
