“Cornnerstone! Nailo! Come forward NOW.” Bellows a ½ orc from the hallway of the overcrowded jail cells.
Nailo can’t move up but steps behind the large warforged and easily follows his wake to the door. They are led to a small room with three chairs and a table. A brown stain on the wall suggests bloodshed. A half-orc that has a lot of Orc in him is there holding a metal studded club. Sitting at the table in one chair in a gnome dressed in silver and white.
“Hello- I am Gulem d’Sivis. I have been asked to aid you in any way I can IF- If you can help my other client. Please- have a seat and let’s talk.”
Nailo sits but the warforged doesn’t.
“I have been asked by Lady DeCurrent to help you as much as I can. Both of you accused of killing a person. However, considering the circumstances behind the deaths, there is room to wiggle. The man, Jean DeWolg is a known bandit on the run from the authorities in Eldeen. There are no witnesses to his death – only presumption based on the damaged done and location that it was from a warforged. You, Cornnerstone, were the only warforged there. But maybe a weapon was used and not seen or collected. The goblin…. Is …well a goblin. Yrlag goblins have little known honor here. I find a great deal of…. Room on that one.” The gnome is smiling ear to ear with confidence. As a lawyer, he is good and considers these hicks in the swamp to be easy to fast talk or at least buy off.
“DeCurrent….. What does she want in return?” asks the cautious elf.
“What else- for you and your friends to reenter this “Hidden” and explore it for her in her name. She is quite taken by the place. As are many from what I have seen here.”
“Will we be paid?” asks the warforged not comprehending that their payment is their freedom.
The gnome raises his eyebrows in surprise and begins to giggle. Even the ½ orc smirks at the warforged’s ignorance.
The next day the two of them are free on “technicalities” and they rejoin the rest to travel across the town to Lady DeCurrent’s home.
