Respen - Let's Finish What We Started...
~ It's appropriate that the sheriff be there for his imposter's postmortem inquisition ~
Respen, to Sheriff Denby out of earshot of the captive spy, but within earshot of the others, "Sheriff, you might want to accompany us back to the Inn. We have some questions for the imposter that you might find enlightening as well. Vale has tempered his...enthusiasm...for fisticuffs with the Orc Paladin. He has spells to pose questions to Vaelik the Assassin's corpse. "
Respen holds back a little on the other matter he wanted to mention to Denby, as well as everyone else. This captive spy with the wealthy Dyvers family presents an opportunity. Perhaps Nightwind might care. Were this Beringer more...well...more, Respen might not be so hesitant. However, misguided as it might have been, Vale's threat toward him as well as Vale's not so tête-à-tête with Kasnik clearly exposed this fellow's flaws. Aimless, spineless, a tad lazy, this Beringer fellow is, at the end of the day, little more than a dandy...a buffoon. The upside to this is that he could be manipulated. The downside...well, he could be manipulated. "But wait a moment...."
~ What to do with the spineless spy indeed?...~
Respen turns back toward Beringer...walking quickly toward him, with purpose, stopping short of him.
"Beringer, I have a question...actually, several. The strength and velocity of your answers will go a long way to establishing goodwill here."
Without waiting for Beringer's consent, Respen turns and looks directly at Kasnik during his 1st interrogative, toward Dewydd his 2nd interrogative, and to Sylvar for his 3rd, and then to Sheriff Denby for his 4th, not stopping to let Beringer finish until the questions were all out there. Upon his last question to Beringer, Respen looks directly at him.
"Tell us about this Shem fellow, would you?
Tell us who he is...where he is...who else assists him, could you?
Where would you go, perhaps a cache of supplies, or a safehouse nearby?
Where might this trail go, were we to wander it?
Looking directly at him, stated loudly, "Mr. Beringer, careful before you answer. For my last question is a yes or a no: Are all of your answers completely truthful, without omission or embellishment?"
Upon Beringer answering his questions, regardless of what he says, Respen thinks for a moment, and then turns back toward the group.
"I think it's time to sort out the rest of the story."
"Sheriff Denby, I presume you want to accompany us?"
