"...and we believe they have taken Hankel as their prisoner, or maybe worse."
The guard-captain shoots Jin a 'don't give me that' look,
"Don't be rediculous. Hankel left for Efil with Lord Hallmaster three days ago. He should be back in a few short weeks." He shifts his gaze from one man to another,
"Now would someone please tell me what is going on here!?"
"See, forget the sweets. We will be able to bring you into prison. But If you help us now, we could perhaps change it to a much more bearable punishment."
The prisoner, desperate to escape incarceration nods cooperatively at Riardon, as Blagarm bursts down the stairs in mock urgency,
"What's go'n an dan 'ere!?" He stops short, again putting on his best face,
"Ooooh Jahr'd. Evnin' t'ya." The fat bartender nods a little too politely.
"These men," Jahred explains,
"Say that you've been running a den of thieves down here. Now, I don't yet know the truth, and I've never seen any of them before, except for Firebyrne, here," He acknowledges the dragonborn with a nod,
"If it were only these strangers, I would arrest them for drunken murder and be done, but Firebyrne swears by their word."
"Nor d'I know 'oo they are, but I know they met Mr. Firebyrne this vary evnin'. They took'im inta a dark room an' tald 'im a stary 'bout thieves an' such so's he takes'em dan stares ta' show'em nothin's wrang. Then these strangers..."
"Oh shut it Blagarm!" The bound thug has had enough,
"Don't you see it's all over!? They're all dead!" The man looks at Jahred,
"He's given us room and board to run the jobs. He's in it just as much as we are. When these blokes told him they were the ones set the fire two weeks ago, he warns us they're coming downstairs. We came in ready, but they killed everyone."
Jahred's eyebrows pop up, but Blagarm responds quickly,
"Dan't lissen ta 'im. 'E's 'fraid they'll off 'im."
"Oh no I'm not!" The thug yells back,
"Go ahead and knock the wall down like the slanty-eyed man said," he nods in the direction of the patched wall,
"You'll see."
Blagarm goes red with rage,
"No'ne's ganta knock ani walls dan!"
Suddenly Riardon remembers something. There is another way into the thieves' den. He remembers that an underground river ran to a back entrance. If Jahred is led to this entrance, no one would have to knock down a wall, and perhaps Blagarm wouldn't be the wiser until Jahred had his evidence. [sblock=status]SC1: 3 Successes / 1 Failure
