A very sizeable ask. Considering the state of everything that was his, and where all these people stand as once-obstacles to much of that, he's certain there is no love lost between any of them. But if they trust the Dark Urge, and so does he, then the are going to have to come to some manner of accord.
He has to tell himself there is still something familiar in this, that he has to place faith in. As allies they came together to solve a number of puzzles their shared trajectory wrote for them. But many times, when a task was left to finish or the needs of their respective temples calling them, there was a parting. He sent his chief assassin into the night to seek blood on the promise that he would be there to welcome him afterward -- whether that was a triumph for the alliance or for the Temple of Bhaal.
This is all it is. The Dark Urge has the name of a final target, and he will not fail.
"There is work to be done, and we will celebrate your victory afterward." His words echo ones he has spoken before, like a mantra.
