"I don't have to tell you nothin', murderer!"The thug holds his ground, refusing to cooperate. "It's none of your business, stranger! You and your gang better let me go before the watch shows up, killers. You'll go to trial for what you've done! Killed a man in cold blood!"(OOC: I'm assuming Arak and Remen are agreeable with Dowlee's suggestion.)The group marches the third thug back to the alley at sword-point, where they see Jon, Liracor and Flannad speaking with the priest, and seemingly trying to stabilize the wounded thug.Ruphus answers, "Well, I was on my way back from the Lantern Street Orphanage, just to see how everyone was doing after the disappearances...you heard about those didn't you?" Seeing some blank looks, Ruphus clarifies, "Oh, no?  Well, four children disappeared from the orphanage just three nights ago. I was there tonight, just to offer my Church's aid...trying to keep spirits high, and so forth. Then, on my way back, these three jumped me, and pulled me into this alley! I thought I was being mugged, at first, but I guess they just were trying to intimidate me. But, like I said, I don't see why they'd care about the children or the orphanage."While listening to Ruphus talk, Jon turns to the dying thug. With Liracor's aid, they tear some strips of cloth from the man's shirt, and bind his wounds. (Heal Check succeeds) It seems that their combined efforts are a success, as the thug's bleeding appears to have now abated. While still unconscious and seriously wounded, it now appears that he is likely to live.[sblock=Liracor Knowledge: Local check]Ruphus' talk about the disappearances of the children from the Lantern Street Orphanage reminds Liracor about the recent string of disappearances that has been plaguing Cauldron. People have been taken from their homes in the middle of the night, and the town guard has been unable to identify the culprits, or locate the vanished citizens. Moreover, the victims' homes have been stripped of portable valuables. It seems that no place is secure, and people are becoming increasingly worried.[/sblock]With the second thug stabilized, the occupants of the alley look up to see the pursuers return triumphantly, their quarry marching out in front with a surly look on his painted face.(OOC: You'll need to decide what you're going to do with the thugs, whether conscious, unconscious, or dead. Also, I assume that everyone is willing to accompany Ruphus to the temple of St. Cuthbert, unless you post to the contrary. I will move the scene to the temple once the conversation has concluded in the alley, and a plan has been formed for the thugs' disposition.)</blockquote>
