Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dlsharrock" data-source="post: 4263107" data-attributes="member: 55833">OOCThe free-time only applies to posting turns. In-game, everything has a place in the ongoing timeline of course. My suggestion at this point:Aranel opens the door to the bedroom as Baran is preparing to ask his next two questions. She confers with them and lets them know the female Stoor Hobbit is opening up. No mention was made that Aranel reveals Handel is actually Smeagar, nor any of the other details revealed by Mythia, including her name, so the assumption should be the others still don't know this IC.Just then there comes a knock at the door. Being  the only one present, and closest to the door, Gellion opens it. Ulfang and Aranel head back into the main room to check on the door, both presumably expecting a reprisal or rescue attack by the escaped Stoor Hobbits.Gellion therefore stands aside for both Ulfang (greeted with 'you do not appear to be the dwarf I seek') and Aranel (who greets Thalion accordingly with 'Your arrival is fortuitous. If you can spare the time, when your business with the dwarf is complete, I would ask a favor of you.')BICQ1What *else* have you gathered for him?""Hhhhhhhssss" the sound, bileful and throaty, is a laugh they realise. "Many many things. We is the best burglars in all the far lands. Sneaky and clever, we is. And I'm the sneakiest of them all, yes, yes." (Reliability: 50% the part about stealing many things could be true, while the part about his being the sneakiest of them all is probably just a groundless boast).Q2How important is that scroll/Handel&co to Him?"Oh," the Stoor chuckles, clearly relishing the fact that Ulfang has quit the room. His malignant eyes burrow into Baran's and his voice rasps with malevolent glee "Its important alright. Yes, yes. Very important. Many others wants it. Not just *him*. Many wants it. Many will takes it. It's... precious. Yes, yes, that's it. Very precious, my love. Very precious indeed." (Reliability: 45%. Baran isn't so sure. This one has a track record for bare faced lies. But Aerec thinks that natural, relaxed aspect of the Hobbit's manner has returned and believes he may be telling some level of the truth).</blockquote>
