Crolmyr laughs.'A Mac Morn? Aye, they are all dead, by my reconing. Killed by yer Imperial Majesty's own Loyal troops, as I hear it (beggin; yer pardon). Why would you want some long dead Highland Sheep farmer?'

Finnegan barely contained his rage. Aye, the Dog was seeking to bring him out into the open, for whatever purpose.Well, it would take more than a mere mentioning of his name to bring this elusive Fox out.

'Crolmyr' sipped his Ale/Wine/whatever the Priestess's have offerred and waited for the Emperor's response.
 

Your Highness, Who are these Mac Morns? I have never heard of them. are they a Human family? Tal will be buisy making the emporer as comfortable as he can. (remember his Father is the Vizier of Ukko. He has seen how a "vassil" treats a king) Tal assumes that the Emporer might be more inclined to talk if treated other than as the prisoner he obviously is.
 

Ariel takes another sip of her wine, nods her agreement with Tal and looks at the Emperor. "Well your Highness, assuming that they are all dead as has been mentioned, is there not someone or something else that may be able to accomplish what this person you seek can do? It seems that there may need to be other options to take or another path to go down."
 

OOC: Okay, now's the time. ;) I cast detect thoughts on the Emperor.

"A Mac Morn, truly? Are those not the Keltish fellows? What on earth could you want with one of those?"
 

Spook jumps up into the Emporers lap, yawns, curls up and begins to purr. To Tal who is the only who can understand him he meows I will try to placate him, My purr can stop armys. Tal nods and continues I feel the emporer may need some time to regroup himself. perhaps we should be quite for a time. allow him to regain him bearings.
 

"What should I do? This seems far too obvious... I should get ahold of Wil immediately..."

Gustaf goes out to wake up the nearest pay-to-cast cleric or wizard. He requests a sending...

OOC: I may attempt a sending to Wil Knights to tell him of the current event. I may not, depends on the availability and price...
 

Ariel gets up, "excuse me for a minute. I think I will go and see if there is any other news of importance, or any other bits of helpful information, that any of my sisters may have heard."

OOC: Ariel is going to go to her superior and to any of her friends in the temple that she can locate to see if there are any rumours or other items of note that would be helpful to the current situation.
 

"Tis our duty, Sir and Miss, no thanks is needed" Thomas bows to the priestess. "I am Reaver, and this is –" (He lets Abesh introduce himself). Thomas then nods and follows the group to the private room.

As they're entering Thomas checks the room for entries and exits, or anywhere someone may 'pop' out of. During the 'interrogation' he'll keep to one side and find a comfortable place to sit or lean. He'll watch the Emperor and his actions, though does his best not to aggravate anything from happening.
 

The emporer sighs and pets spook. "The Mac Morns... it has been prophesied that only those in league with clan Mac Morn could restore peace to the empire... that is why it had me search down and destroy them all, so that they couldn't turn against me. It is also what gave me the strength to come here... Finding out that the youngest had survived. I no longer possess the magics required to find him, but perhaps with you helping, we can gather him and stop this madness once and for all."
He glances over at Auld "I don't blame you for not trusting me, lad. Not after what I've done, but if reading my mind will help, it is an open book. As you can see, I am telling the truth."
Auld easily gets into the Emporers mind, and according to all the thoughts he can read, the Emporer is convinced that he's telling the truth. You also realize that he isn't quite as mentally powerful as he is rumored to be... not even close, in fact. Had he tried to shield himself you still could have broken in. It seems most unusual coming from the person who was the most powerful wizard in a nation of wizards.

While the Emporer speaks, Thomas looks around the room, noting that it is a simple, square 20X20 room with only the 1 door, and a raised ceiling. There are several comfortable chairs/sofas gathered around, and that is where people are sitting.

Ariel and Gustaf leave while you are 'chatting' with your formerly viscious enemy.

Ariel has managed to get ahold of the leader of her order, as well as having spoken to various other members, and a sage who.. um.. 'prays' at the temple. Unfortunately, none of them have any clue as to whats going on, other than what the candaran government is doing with regards to the war. The high priestess, however, tells Ariel "What you must discover is whether this man wishes to hurt you, or himself. If you need to find the truth, take this and trust in Her." She hands Ariel a scroll (Zone of Truth).

Gustaf has found that hiring someone to Send a message to Wil isn't easy. After consulting with a few priests, he discovers that sending requires a personal familiarity between the spellcaster and the receiver, so he'll have to find someone who actually knows Wil, AND can cast the spell.
