"Truly? Communing with nature? I've never had much of a connection with nature like some others. I worked a grain field for a few harvests - to get an understanding of the baker's supply chain, but it was just farming. I went hawking once but the glove didn't fit right so I just watched." Paaq rambles a bit, hoping his amiable spiel will open up the trapped stranger's guarded tongue. "Here, Eric, I'll see if I can help."

Kip steps a little closer, one dagger goes to the sheath, the other is gripped casually.
So this brother of yours, is he a druid or something? Only those nature lovers like Druid or Rangerly types would risk a wood like this alone, I would think.

GM: The man nods.
"A kind of Druid, I think."
OOC: Given that Eric reckons the man is lying to them, is he going to try to free him from the trap, or not?

Keena cannot recall hearing any stories about The Spirit of the Forest. She tells the trapped stranger, "I have been raised in these woods and never heard of such a spirit. Tell me more about this supposed Spirit of the Forest." There is obvious distrust in her voice.

Eric pauses before beginning to pull the trap open, and looks piercingly into the man's eyes. "As a Paladin of Libra, I'm bound by honour and duty to help innocents in need and to give everyone a fair, just chance at proving their innocence before I shrug off their aura of evil. Not only do you possess such an aura, you have lied to me several times. A just punishment would be to leave you here, and that is what I intend to do."
He stands and looks toward his companions, "Let us leave this evil man to ponder the wrongs of his life, that he might find himself on the correct path in his future."

Paaq sighs heavily, and kneels back on his heels. He claps his hands to knock off a bit of dirt and shakes his head at the trapped stranger. "Your business is your own. I trust this man's judge of character, and he says you speak falsely." Paaq nods to the paladin.
He stands, frowning. "It strikes me a little foolish to play your potential saviours as dupes."
"You could have easily claimed your business as private. It would not have been a lie." Paaq shrugs. "But now? Now we mistrust you, and have no incentive to help."
"If you have any defense for your behavior, I suggest you speak truthfully and quickly."

The man looks nervous, you can see sweat beaded on his brow. He remains silent.
Lirael the Sorceress looks at the stranger suspiciously, then nods to Eric.
"Yes, let's go. It's only a rabbit trap, he'll probably get himself free eventually..."
