 The rest of [[sabek|Sabek]] is frozen in time thanks to the actions of [[taron|King Taron]]. You alone are able to move freely through the city and numerous rifts that you find.
-You find Tarik
+You find Tarik standing just outside of the [[palace_gates|Palace Gates]]. He, like everyone else but you, is frozen in time. While the rest of the citizens are looking toward the smoke billowing from [[taron_s_arena|Taron's Arena]], Tarik is looking skyward. A rift has formed above the [[sabek_palace|Palace]]. Noticing a [[taron_s_ring|ring]] in his satchel, you take it only to find out that it can read minds. It may prove useful in the future.
-Seeing the destruction of Taron's Arena, he is quick to deduce that it was the work of the Starlit Door. It is not a political statement. The explosion was clearly a diversion.
+You will have the opportunity to free him from his frozen state. Having the king's [[taron_s_ring|ring]], formerly in Tarik's possession, now in your own possession will not be a good look for you.
+  * Tell him honestly how you got the ring. He will join you on your quest.
+  * Make up an unconvincing story and watch him slip away into the crowds.
+If Tarik does remain with you, upon seeing the destruction of [[taron_s_arena|Taron's Arena]], he is quick to deduce that it was the work of the [[starlit_door|Starlit Door]]. It is not a political statement. The explosion was clearly a diversion.
 >//The Starlit Door’s agenda is not political, so this is not an attempt at insurrection. No, it must be covering for some other plot. Tarik’s mind quickly surveys the valuable artifacts concealed around Sabek, and correctly deduces that the Door aims to steal the Eye of Ulos from the temple.// - Silver Threads of Fate (LC1)
