Barek Fhald, half-orc bard
Barek sighs as his charm fails.
"Well, I think we should probably gag this one before we do anything else. It seems his fellows are likely fled, but just in case, that racket's going to warn them for miles off.
"Or, now that we've located these villains, should we take them back to the jails, let a proper force clear out the tunnels?"

HolyMan
Thy wounds are healed!
"An a gets what treasure be in dere," Rezak says shocked. "Ye brains workin' like dae shuild? We's be a doin' the fine guards a favors clear'n dae tunnels fuir 'tem."
Wondering about the relation between the masked men who approached him and the mask found by the guards, Rezak thinks it better to stay below ground for the moment.

The watchmen gag the hobgoblin and, returning to the small cave where the other hobgoblins lie, secure those as well. They bring them into the cellar, where the disturbed earth is.
"I want to confirm that this is a murder investigation before I report in" the watchman explains, and grabs a shovel. Between the watchmen and the party, a body is soon unearthed.
The young woman was blond, attractive, and finely dressed. From the marks on the body, the watch man notes, she appears to have been strangled from behind. She has no other injuries on her body. On her right cheek and palm is dried blood.
Taking another look, the watchman Larry suddenly does a double take.
"Gods! She was Lucia Vorloi! Bad news indeed.
You're new to the city. See, she was the niece of Baron Vorloi. He's a big shot - an influential merchant as well as a Baron.
I heard that Lucia recently spurned Stephanos Torenescu. I can't blame her - the guy's a pompous bastard and everyone knows it. If this has something to do with that ... well, hobgoblins are the least of our problems.
As for you guys, don't leave the city. I'll have to put out word at the gate, just a formality, you understand. You're not suspects, not in my book, but you are witnesses or ... something. Let us know if you change inns.
You are free to go for now, but I assure you, you will be called in for questioning at some point."
He looks thoughtful. After a while he adds "We need to solve this thing soon. If we don't, there could be a search for scapegoats - to keep the peace. But I assure you, I'll do my best to prevent that."

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard
"I know my people have a reputation for eating just about anything, but I can assure you, I'd make a terrible goat, scape or otherwise," Barek says lightly, though his party members can recognize the subtle tension that's taken his voice.
"We'll leave you to your work, good men, and be sure to let you know if we need to change residence."
The half-orc bows then, glances to his companions to indicate he's rather say nothing more until they're on their own again, out of earshot of the guards.
