Ru Brike, barbaric human monk
As he watches his companions prepare, Ru bites his lip, fearing he knows where all of this leads--fearing more the small thrill in the back of his mind at the prospect. His monster nearly killed you. He deserves it.
Shaking his head clear, Ru pushes through the others to kneel on the ground near Pigglemorth. Pitching his voice calmly and evenly, Ru spoke:
"Mr. Pigglemorth, I realize our cells aren't as clean and tidy as a well-managed workshop, but surely the bed would be a nicer place to rest yourself than the stone floor?"

Rhiannon quickly brushes her sleeve across her eyes, wiping away the tear forming as the man met her gaze briefly. She followed the others below, paying close attention to Fitch, as he singled her out. Perhaps it was just because she was a woman, but her experiences made her naturally suspicious.

Sense Motive Check on Fitch(+2)[/sblock]
"Thank you Fitch, I'll keep that in mind..." She replied politely as he departed, turning to follow the others quietly. It wasn't long before Mogson led them to Pigglemorth's cell, which Skyler entered immediately. Rhia followed shortly after, nodding politely to the man before speaking briefly.
"Good Morning, Mr. Pigglemorth. I hope you haven't been treated too poorly during your stay here... we'd like to ask you a few questions, I hope that's alright."

Darian steps into the room behind the others, giving no attention to the gnome on the floor. Again he finds himself contemplating the many cracks in the walls as the interview proceeds behind him, his tall frame casting an elongated, flickering shadow across the floor. He stands with his hands nonchalantly clasped behind his back, his fingers absently fidgeting with his rose-shaped signet ring, listening... waiting, his face growing hot with the anticipation.
He'll let the others speak first, let those new to the company attempt to prove their worth, and even let Calahan have his fun. But when the course is run, and there are still truths to be told...
Darian closes his eyes and sighs quietly. He licks his dry, cracked lips, and can already feel the purging of sins yet to come.

[sblock=OOC]Perhaps we can reserve Skyler's aid another attempt for when that time comes? Darian would never mind taking the lead, but since the others have already started, he's more than willing to sit back and wait for a more appropriate time to display his skills. Now, there are certain individuals with whom Darian will automatically take the lead, regardless of who does what first (Suki, for instance), but this gnome isn't one of them.

Rhiannon catches a lingering gaze from Fitch as he departs, but nothing else gets in the way as the policemen make their way to the cell.
Pigglemorth sits defeated.
Pigglemorth looks up at Ru's comment, and with a compliant, "Yes, sir," he moves to sit on the bed.
He looks at Rhiannon a little surprised, turns to see the others, and responds, "Yes, please, go ahead. What do you want to know?"

Not knowing the details behind the incident, Cliff doesn't feel as if he should be the one doing the questioning. He stands outside of the cell and looks in. Fully armed and armored, Cliff is an intimidating sight, and he uses that intimidation to assist.

To positively change the behavior of the prisoner, Cliff attempts to be intimidating with a +7.

"Alek," Ru says evenly. "We need to know about Alek and his dealings. What do you know, and what evidence do you have of it?"
