Magyar Rhineholdt, human rogue

Mag nods, then sidles up behind Deitrich.

"Do any of those keys perhaps come from Ben Turion?" he says. "You know Ben: man you left for dead in the back room of a burning inn last night? Also, in a stunning coincidence, the man who happens to be our captain."

Creeps quietly past the closet and to the stairs, giving a hard listen at the stairwell.

Denther does not hear anything at the bottom of the stairwell. All seems dark and quiet.

Dietrich is smiling broadly at Malachi, unaware of Magyar moving up behind him. When the ex-stage performer speaks, the shop proprieter gives a start, turning slightly.

"Do any of those keys perhaps come from Ben Turion?" he says.

"Excuse me, I'm with a customer..." Dietrich's vioce sounds hollow, having lost much of its earlier resonance. His hands slide nervously over the tube of paper his holds, and he trails off as Magyar continues to speak.

"You know Ben: man you left for dead in the back room of a burning inn last night? Also, in a stunning coincidence, the man who happens to be our captain."

Dietrich turns, cringing and gulping visibly. "I swear, I had nothing to do with that!" His eyes dart around the store, searching. "Ya gotta believe me, I'm just a simple business man. I'd never kill anybody. I--Look, there's the man you want, he did it!" Dietrich flings out his hand, pointing toward the blocked doorway. He throws the rolled parchment in Malachi's face before diving violently in the opposite direction, headed for the back door.

Colmarr, taken in despite himself by the man's bluff, takes his eyes off Dietrich and glances toward the front door, but the situation on the street appears the same. However, Magyar and Malachi are not so easily duped, and both have a chance to react to Dietrich's attempt to flee.

For a while, Malachi was pondering the situation of the key and the map, when Magyar decided to cut to the chase. <Well, this will certainly make things go fas-->

In a flurry of map and arms, Malachi tries to grab the man and try to reason with him, "No one here thinks you did it, but if you can help us in our search, I'd certainly consider making it worth your while."

[Mallak]

[sblock=Denther]Depends. This happens after Denther decides whether or not he wants to head up stairs. So, does Denther head up the stairs?[/sblock]

Outside the shop Troth leans on the wall looking people pass by and keeping a eye with the door.

Grondar

Troth! Go to the back door around the building, the owner is trying to escape
Calls Grondar as he stands in the opening of the store and watchs the incident.
The big thug will keep standing in the entrance and bluff any citizen that will come, he'll say that the owner is in private meeting right now and the store is closed.

Troth! Go to the back door around the building, the owner is trying to escape

In an incredible relfex Troth rushes towards the back of the shop again. As he runs he thinks on his captain and in the poor children that are beeing abused in this shity town, the shopkeeper was an important brick of the puzzle. He was determinated on getting some usefull infrmatio0n out of the man.

GM: [sblock]double move as loong that takes him, trying to reach the backdoor in one movment.[/sblock]

 

[Mallak]

[sblock=OOC]I thought Troth had reentered the shop, but being outside works, so we'll go with it.[/sblock]
