"You are begging the wrong person, Maggots," Avernus scoffed at the Elves who were doing their best to beg for their lives. "If you don't grovel in front of my Master and sincerely ask for forgiveness after I count to ten, I will start killing people. One… Two… Three…"
"Forgive us! We were wrong!"
"Please, have mercy! We only wanted to protect our village from outsiders!"
"It is the tradition in our village to not allow any race aside from Elves to enter our village. Forgive us!"
"Please, show us mercy!"
Avernus, who heard the Elves plead for forgiveness, was instantly annoyed. They were not sincerely begging for forgiveness.
Instead, they were indirectly telling their Master that he was in the wrong and that they were simply upholding the traditions of their village.
"It seems that all of you still don't understand your situation," Avernus stated. "I told you to sincerely beg for my Master's forgiveness, and not say EXCUSES!"
