He holds his tongue until Jan and Eban have finished, although his gaze is stormy*. "You did have the opportunity to kill the captives last night," Henri responds quietly to the fighter."I was thinking of handing the gnolls over to the exiles. If the captives know anything, they will tell it. What I learn, the Chancellor will learn also. And if he wishes to see them for himself, that could be arranged as well. But you can take the western gnolls to the Chancellor if you feel you must. I suspect that he won't thank you for it. Even if you can get them to the city unseen, he will have two gnolls in his cells and people will notice."He falls silent for a moment. Suddenly he looks very tired."It's up to you.""As you said," he continues, with a nod in Eban's direction, "The one that escaped is a concern. The western gnolls know that the exiles fled east, but as far was we can tell, western gnolls do not know that the exiles stopped in the mountains here. They could not have learnt it from you. But they fact that they came here, looking specifically for me, is a concern. I would dearly like to capture that last gnoll. If he gets back to others of his tribe, they will be back."I know that this is not the task the Chancellor set you. But it would a great help if you could hunt down that gnoll. I can provide some assistance in finding it. And I am pretty sure that I can persuade the Chancellor to understand. But it will take a few days to get word to him, and a response back. You would have to make a decision before you heard his response."[sblock=*]Not that Bayar probably noticed, or would give a flying monkey poo if he had <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=":)" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
