No trapdoors or cellars were to be found. Moving to the dark back room adjacent to Vhir's improvised interrogation chamber, he made out a few heavy crates piled to one side, as well as another door, which opens into a closet. With some care, either one could contain a bugbear's body.[sblock=Doral]That Karrn's crazy! the bugbear thinks, becoming increasingly panicked. Need t' get out, he'll cut me up, that Khyber-damned coward! Maybe Jebbedo followed 'em, maybe someone's lookin' for us... what if they ain't? An' the kobold, he's not gonna stop him... what Baron? I dunno the Baron. They mean Prince?[/sblock]Still leaning over his victim, Vhir listens intently to the prisoner's revelations: "I, yeh, I know that. J-Jebbedo," he stammers, "he went t' th' Scepter for yeh. Uh, two pirates wi' him. Oh! He's a gnome. Jebbedo. Good 'un wit' a crossbow an' locks... an' sneakin'. Don' know who he took... quiet ones, like 'im, I bet. Men, both. Dark clothes, an'... swords, if I remmeber right. All 'em are good wi' blades." He licks his thick lips, gaze flitting between his interrogator and presumed executioner."Um... there ain't a, uh, Baron in th' Direshark Princ'pality. Yeh mean Kolberkon? Th' Prince? He's in 'is manor, or he was a couple'a hours ago. Got his guards, dozen, maybe more... an th' Brothers. No way teh see Prince without seein' 'em two ladies. They--I mean, 'ey're 'is pers'nol bodyguards. Elf wimmen... 'Brothers' is jus' a name. All 'is bes' guards been called 'The Brothers'. Them ladies are dang'rous," he explains. "No way would I try t' break in'ta th' Prince's. Ain't, um, just a house, y'see. Made to be tough to break in'ta. Like a fort, a castle. Go in th' front door an' yeh like as not t' come out w' extra holes in yeh... gotta get in 'is yard firs', an'... uh, pro'bly a floor up," the bugbear tells Vhir. He pauses nervously, mouthing bits of words, trying to keep looking useful. "I ain't gonna say yeh shoul' use it, but there's a tunnel. Inta' th' basemen' of the manor, from them barracks. Ain't gonna 'spect yeh in through there... but there's pirates, merc'naries 'anging 'bout in there."</blockquote>
