Phyrric Legacy - Shackled City IC Thread

Flannad simply accompanies the group (unless Ghelve would tolerate him being around) and allows them to manage the interrogation of the skulk. But what he is really interested in is what assistance the church may lend in their planned descent? He'll save that question until the end. (ooc: sorry for the tardy reply, but my subscription to the thread seems to have failed)

The skulk snarls at Arak, "Not afraid! We kill you!"

Jon tries to keep its attention on him, as the power compels him to listen only to him. "As Sir Arak says, you may be spared if you answer our questions. First, why are you kidnapping people of Cauldron? Who sent you, and how do they identify who to take? What do they want with the taken? Second, when will your pressence be missed? When you are missed, will reinforcements be sent? Lastly, where are the kidnapped ones taken? Who and what guards it, and how can be bypass them any traps in our way?"

Hope he answers a few of them truthfully. The second is the most important, in some sense. Gives us time.

The skulk turns back to Jon, his mental abilities causing it to behave much more civilly towards him. "We grab people for Kazmojen. Mostly, we grab who is easy, we use special keys. Last time, Kazmojen say he want young ones, so we grab those. Kazmojen sell grabbed people to someone else. Others will come when Kazmojen say grab more people, only then. When we grab people, we give them to mean orange-skins. They take them down on platform. Don't know where they go after. You let me go now?"

Jenya gently reminds Flannad, "We have already given you six healing potions, remember? The church's coffers are not so full that we can give away more. You've made excellent progress, but the children are still missing. Prove yourselves in this, and your reward will come. Arak understands this. St. Cuthbert does not look favorably on a job half done."

Jon thinks on this a moment. Asking for the map from Flannad and Liracor, he shows it to the skulk. "Where is this Kazmojen? Where are the rest of you gathered? And where is this pit you speak of? Tell me of this Kazmojen---what is he? A shaman? Warrior? Mage? Every answer assists your fate."

Jon turns to the priestess a moment with a look at the gnome. "He means no harm, Priestess. You have given significant aid already, the augury being chief among them."

Arak doesn't take his eyes from the skulk, nor his hand from his sword hilt.

"Rendering justice is work for a calloused hand, not a pampered one. We need no further help, just your prayers, Mother Jenya."

The skulk answers, "Kazmojen down more, take platform here down." The skulk points to a spot on the map. "Others all over, no gatherings. Kazmojen is warrior, not like you, not like me...not like anyone. Do not fight, Kazmojen will kill. You let me go now?"

(OOC: The attached map shows the spot where the skulk pointed.)

Jon turns to the others. "Any other questions?"

Dowlee looks at the map, and back at Jon. "How safe is it down there? It can't be just as easy as walking the path."

"No no, not safe. My people not want you there. Short dark ones not want you there. Will fight you, kill you. Doors kill you too." The skulk smiles as though it finds this funny.

"... The doors kill?" Dowlee pauses to think, "Do the doors have teeth? What makes it dangerous down there?" <The augury is making a lot of sense...>

The skulk chortles evilly. "Doors kill you, doors kill you! Go and see! Hee hee!" Obviously, its nasty streak is still alive and well, and its inclination to like Jon does not extend to his friends.
