[sblock=Insight check]Torath makes a successful Insight check.[/sblock]
There's something not quite right about Bounder's accent. Although he's speaking common, he sounds almost as if he's trying not to sound like a native speaker.
He also seems overly confident, as if hiding something. For a moment he looks at each of you.
"Very well. I'll give you my blades - even the bow, if you want. As to where my arrows have gone to, well, that's a story I wouldn't mind telling."
His hand drifts idly toward the handle of his knife.
"I was patrolling the edge of the forest, and I was told to anticipate a small group of agents approaching from the east. While I had my eyes looking out there, something snuck up on me - a panther. Sometimes they attack during mating season, but I was too busy to notice it. The beast lunged - knocked me right off the branch, and it tried to take a bite out of me. Thank Adele it only got the strap to my quiver!"
His hand caresses the handle of his knife. His fingers wrap steadily around the grip.
"Anyway, I took out my blade and wounded it, and it took off. Have a look for yourself!"
In a flash, Bounder flings his knife through the air, and it digs itself into a tree trunk. Blood drips from the blade into a bed of dry leaves on the ground, and Bounder laughs.
"Can we go now, or do you want to hear another story?"
