PFS #51: The Shadow Gambit

[soulnova]

[sblock=OOC] Are we splitting the money between 5, right? Would be 75.2 gp each that way. [/sblock]

While the others search the house (he makes look at his Andoran friends to look specially for the ledger) Lanel will inspect the potions carefully as he sits in front of the tied up goons.

As they slowly regain consciousnesses he will try to work information out of them. "Tsk tsk, you guys are really up to your noses in s--t." he waves the note they found casually "I'm sorry to tell you this guys but it seems like you were set up. We came just to talk to Horis, but seems like someone else got here before us" he sighs.

He reads out loud "-If anyone comes back looking to toss the place or take the body and that person is not an Androc, it's most likely his killer-" he looks at the goons rising an eyebrow "...seriously!? Do you honestly believe someone would come back after THIS??" he points at the messed up body in the ground. "Whoever did this had all the time in the world to get what he was looking for and leave the scene. Oh why, pray tell me, would they come back?"

He sighs and turns around to his friends and tells no one in particular going for a Bluff "Let's go find Horis you said, he's sure to give us some tips on the Kaer business you said, it will only take a couple of days you said. *SIGH* Honestly, Micah was right, we should have turned around when we had the chance"

"Look, we really didn't want to kill anyone. Your friend there had to be put down in self defense. I knocked you three out and avoided killing you. Whoever killed Horis wouldn't have given you such courtesy. Help us out here because whoever is behind this wanted YOU dead too. We are in this together now. What can you tell us about Besel?"

Harken, lazing on the couch (and petting the cat that insists on laying on his stomach), watches Lanel's interrogative antics with amusement, declining to say anything.

 

[Helfdan]

Kalenth searches the house carefully, and retrieves his axe in the process.

 

[PeteZero]

Dogan will try to find the ledger, searching around the house - perception 17.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Your search of the house turns up nothing more than you found on the bodies.

As Lanel completes his interrogation, all of the goons look surprised. The female responds, "You don't know the Ardocs? Besel and his family are the most powerful people in Kaer Maga. Between them and the Commerce League, they pretty much rule the whole place. So I'd say it's you lot up to your noses in s--t; you killed Besel's friend Colgardie. If you'd killed my friend, I'd want you dead too. And you can bet we won't be the last he sends, neither."

 

[vl.arandur]

Harken pipes up from his lazy position on the couch: "You ought to listen more carefully to the people with power over you, boys. We didn't kill Horis, and we don't know who did. Tell you what, though, if you'd like you can send a message back to Besel Ardoc saying so; I'd sure love to have him as an ally instead of an enemy. Killing goons leaves a bad taste in my mouth after a while."

 

[Helfdan]

Kalenth rejoins the others and addresses the woman. "Indeed, we were sent here to speak with Horis by a mutual friend. His death is a bigger problem than you can imagine. In fact, if this Besel was his friend, we need to talk to him post-haste. Where can we find him?"

[sblock=OOC]
If Lanel can't identify the potions, I might have to ask the goons... but let's see how she answers first. [/sblock]

 

[vl.arandur]

[sblock=OOC]You can try to identify the potions by tasting them, though I forget the exact rules for that. Or we could just gulp 'em down and hope for the best. x3[/sblock]

 

[PeteZero]

[sblock=OOC]But only if we need healing[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The girl looks from Harken to Kalenth and sneers. "You can take your own message to Besel, and as to where you can find the man . . . well, I'd say that's your problem! Maybe you can find him and convince him you didn't kill Colgardie before he sends the next crew after you."
