"Mr.Shadowknave, did you kill a man, recently, on the edge of the Hive, who was reciting the names of Demon Lords? He was collected by people, among whom were men named Rig and Tom. He, too, showed no wounds."

Greenmtn · Aug 1, 2018

"Yeah that one sounds familiar. Yesterday I think."

OOC:

If people are feeling that this is dragging on too long tell me what information you want to get out of him and do a roll to get it. I'll try to speed the dialog up.

"How long had you been following him before you attacked? We wish to know more about what inspired his behavior."

Greenmtn · Aug 2, 2018

"Yer tryin to understand barmies? Maybe your time is better spent at Harbinger House than talkin' to me." Shadowknave sighs.
"Not long, I didn't want to be the last one seen near a dead guy. Specially with Chaosmen bashin skulls lookin for information. You seem to know as much about him as I did. Dancin' and chantin' then dead."

Shadowknave seems to be leveling with you guys. For him it seems that his targets we a means to an end. He was killing people for a reason and had identified Barmies and Bubbers (Mentally ill and drunks) as easy targets that wouldn't be missed or draw as much attention. His tone is very businesslike and the hint of remorse in his voice seems to be more that, should he get out of this, is going to have to figure out a new gig, than any sorrow or guilt for what he did.

"If it was up to me, he would already be enjoying the fate of his victims, ready for the collectors. And don't tell me we should be different than this clown. Or at least put him in a cage. He asked to leave this place safely, not freely, if I'm correct." said Khefren to Sir Reginald, as the questioning seems to come to an end.

"Khefren, may I speak to you?"

*Pulls him aside, away from Shadowknave*

"I am considering the possibility that if we release him, he may go back to whomever has contracted his services, likely Toranna, as he has indicated. She knows our faces and our names, due to my diligence in making introductions. It will not take long for the Dustmen to find us. I suggest that we should relinquish him to my people, as they have ways of extracting information about his patterns and behaviors which are valuable, especially those involving Modrigaarz. They seem to frequent similar locales."

Fradak · Aug 13, 2018

"Fine with me. Anything but putting this clown back on track."

*Instructs the rest of the group to watch Shadowknave, while Lex goes to to fetch a couple Xaositect heavies and their Boss, located conveniently nearby*

OOC:

Lex Investigation [roll0]
Lex persuasion [roll1]

Well hell. How am I going to describe that...

Everyone watches as the Modron leaves the building.

[sblock=LEX]
Less than a block away headed back into the Hive Lex hears groaning and a gruff voice "Talk" Followed by more groaning and the sound of bare knuckles crashing into flesh and bone.

Up against a walk two young looking humans hold the arms of another man with a swollen and bruised eye as a third very large man with a great sword across his back hits him again, this strike to the stomach and hard enough to lift the well dressed victim off the ground.

"You here to kill barmies you piece of-"
"Hey hey hey Mordrigaarz look" One of the smaller men interrupts the interrogation and points to Lex. "Oh wait, I recognize him, he's one of us."
The large man grabs the victim by the scruff of the neck and tosses him to the side "Don't let me catch you in the hive again or you'll swing from the leafless tree."

The battered man runs off not looking back.

Both sides of the conversation start to talk in chaos speak, Lex using an intricate pattern he came up with to semi-randomize the order or words to mimic this language. After introductions Lex explains that he has the person Mordrigaarz is looking for and that it seems that the Dustmen are behind it all. Mordrigaarz seems skeptical but agrees to follow you back. He's heard of you it seems that the novelty and irony of a Modron in the Chaosmen is a popular story among members.

Something changes in Mordrigaarz step, you can hear it but can't decipher it, as you get to the doorway. Just before entering you feel the point of a sharp instrument at your back.

"Be boys smell bad ready." It was Mordrigaarz voice. It seems he has decided that you are either trying to trick him somehow.

You all enter the building cautiously to find the rest of the party and Shadowknave waiting impatiently.[/sblock]

EVERYONE

You see Lex enter the room, he looks uncharacteristically uneasy, missing his winning smile.
3 men follow him, one very large man holding a great sword to Lex's back, the other two holding short swords, appearing to be expecting some kind of trouble.

The large one speaks. "I know up to not Modron trick not better be."

mike peabody · Aug 17, 2018

"Shadowknave, this is your escort. They will see you safely from this building, provided you afford no resistance."

*To his dates*

"This is the Modrigaarz, of whom I have spoken. Would we not all agree that this is a remarkable happenstance? Please do nothing to interfere with his collection of our captive."
