[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 1941431, member: 3448"] Session 16, cont'd: "Before we try any of that, I could also charm him and try to convince him to talk," suggests Melania. "Why don't we move him first? It'll be easier if we do that in a private place, where we can safely let him talk," Ginara responds. After Melania rejects the idea of using another of her apartments for interrogation purposes, the group moves Olin to a private room of an inn that they rent specifically for this purpose. Melania and Lhovrik go into the room with Olin while the rest of the group waits outside. Melania casts her spell and begins trying to warm Olin up. "Are you from Lir Sanek?" Olin, glad to finally be able to actually speak, responds, "I've been here for a long time." "Where did you come from?" After a pause, Olin answers, "that's not really important." Lhovrik begins getting impatient. "Ask him the important question." Melania faces Olin. "We really need to know where Desi is. Can you help us Olin?" "I can't tell you that. It's too important, and your friends are dangerous. I know you and Lhovrik are good people, but your friends ambushed me. If I tell you where Desi is, they'll just try to rescue her. We can't let that happen." "Is she safe at least?" "Oh, yes. I checked on her earlier today, and she was fine. A little scared, but unharmed. We don't want to hurt her..." Lhovrik thinks for a second. "How did you know my name?" "One of my allies saw you with Vannser, sketched a picture of you, and then asked around to find out who you were. When he did, he passed on the picture and information to me, so I could keep an eye out for you. I didn't realize then that I could trust you." Olin shrugs apologetically for having doubted his "good friend" Lhovrik. "Was your friend the bulkier person who watched your meeting with Vannser? What's his name?" Melania asks. "Yes, that was him. Morgan." "Is Morgan your boss?" "Not really. He's sort of acting that way with this thing, because I'm the one who's exposed, so it's better for him to keep an eye on things. But we're really at the same level. We report to the same person." "Who do you report to?" Olin struggles as he tries to avoid saying, but gives in. "Feldmar." "Can you tell me about Feldmar?" "He's a priest who has been running all sorts of things. He set up the whole plan. I only got involved after they had already captured her." "Do you know what god Feldmar serves?" "Lurdana, I think." "How many other people do you work with?" "Really, Morgan and Feldmar are my only contacts. What we do is dangerous; I've always expected to be killed eventually.
