I will appeal to the crown for a definitive ruling. For now, it is imperative that we remove those slaves from the Aporos hands.""Stefan, Daris, your assistance and advice is appreciated and has been a great help. Would you now excuse us? I will let you know the state of things when there is something to report."Both merchants bow to the knight and depart from the offices.The sheriff continues, "I have something of a surprise for the lot of you, or perhaps it would be best described as a burden." He sheriff steps to a door in the side of the room which leads to the underground prison cells and knocks. A few moments pass before two guards emerge. Between their leather-bound legs you note a small figure. A halfling, chained...""This is Norri Tallgeese. Like many small folk, he appears to have a tendency to run around with the wrong company. Further questioning at the camp revealed that he was in the Tongue's company in his journey from the King's City. We promptly arrested him. Unfortunatly, Father Samual, speaking for his god, revealed that Norri is in fact a virtuous young lad who has no knowledge of the gnome's plans. Much like Dalik, I do not see releasing him as an option, as he would surly be pegged as a traitor and killed. Instead I would like to make use of him. We still do not know who hired the Tongue and his gang to pillage this city and assassinate you. To that effect, I wish the halfling to travel with your company. Hopefully, one of the Tongue's associates will recognize him and assume he already has a plan for your deaths. These associates will thus plan to make peacful contact initially instead of through swords."The sheriff turns to the halfling and bends down to look directly into his eyes, "Does that sound good to you, or should we look deeper into your background in the King's City to find you some other task?" Your move Festy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
