After done trading, Scavenger suggests to return to the tavern, meeting the others and talking about what to do next.

Leaving the hogoblin prisoner with the sop of a man, who immediately calls over some other guards to take away the bound creature, Sir Conrad and Draxton return to the tavern, arriving shortly before the others.
Sascha, Yorgan, & Scavenger arrive much lighter than when they left, but much happier now that they've converted the hobgoblins' remains into funds.
Following the shifter's recommendation, the group takes out rooms in the inn (5 sp). You're settling into your rooms when a knock comes at the door. Outside in the hallway stand a tall, balding man of about fifty and a capable-looking swordswoman.
"Sorry to trouble you, travelers, but I'd like a few minutes of your time" the man says. "My name is Norro Winston, and I'm the Town Speaker for Drellin's Ferry. This is our guard captain, Soranna. I'll get right to the poin: We're in a lot of trouble as you've seen, and I was hoping that you could be persuaded to help us out" the man finishes with a sigh, rubbing his hands together in obvious nervousness.

Well Voadam & Jerrand have been offline for a few days now. Hope the Real Life Monster didn't get them. I'm going to move forward. I waited 2 days, so let's go.

I'm assuming that they did. Not much happened actually. They travelled to the guard house, the captain was on partrol and the person in charge during her stead was more of a clerical individual. They left the prisoner with the guards under the agreement that once Soranna returned she'd assist in the interrogations with Sir Conrad & Draxton.
They returned to the tavern and here we are.

Scavenger takes a step back in the following discussion, knowing that his social talents lie more in deceiving and intimidating. Skills he would like to use against the prisoner...
ooc: Judging from skill alone (highest Intimidate total), Scavenger would be the best 'bad cop' in the group.Jerrand Redband said:

Sir Conrad bows to them both, flashing the captain an appraising smile and says "Captain we have brought you a prisoner we need to interrogate, a hobgoblin who was part of a band that slew one of your local merchants. We came across his body as well as those of his men. We slew the rest of the hobgoblins we came across, though their actions did not smack of banditry as they committed no looting. Their actions had more of the cast of bloodthirsty religious fanatics to my eye."
He addresses both when he says "What can you tell us of hobgoblin activity in the area?"

The duo listens as Sir Conrad speaks, noticing now the bound enemy with the group. The woman speaks up "You captured one alive? Excellent, I will relish the chance to gain more information out of them. Perhaps together we can get more from him?".
Cutting off the woman, the older man says "You've asked about our problem and here it is, our town is under attack. Hobgoblin raiders have been harrying our lands for several days now. They've attacked and killed people in the outlying homesteads and have been waylaying travelers along the Dawn Way."
Captain Sorrana adds "We've had trouble with hobbys before, a raid on a homestead on the west side of the river, but this is different. It looks like a large tribe has moved down from the mountains. I fear they may be enough to sack the town."
The speaker continues " Beyond the immediate threat to our homes and selves, that road is our lifeblood. If the raiders make that road impassable, trade won't come this way and we'll be ruined. We need someone to help repel the invaders and drive them away from here. Can you help us do it?"

Sir Conrad
"I offer my aid goodman mayor. Let's talk to our prisoner and find out how many hobgoblins we are dealing with and what they are actually engaged in. We need to know more before we make plans. If this one does not provide enough information I think a scouting expedition to see more and capture another would be in order. Captain, I am at your disposal.."
