"He´s not going to go after me, but you" says Artea, negating with her head. "But..." her eyes sparkle and she gets up. "Why the sudden interest on me? You know nothing of me, and suddendly want to risk yourselves for me?"
"What do you want?" she inquires. "No more fancy tales."

"We want to know about what Idrag is up to. We can help you if you can help us." If what she says is true, we are in trouble whether she helps us or not.

"I see. You've already said he will hurt you for seeing us. He keeps you locked away here an prevents your contact with others. He will never let you go and when he tires of you he will probably have you killed for you will know too much. I've known men like him. They love only one thing: power. We offer you a chance for self-sufficiency, something I would think you would value given the history of others letting you down."

Artea pales "He wouldn´t... I mean, he sure could get me out of here, but..."
"All right" she whispers. "He tells me things now and then. Something is going to happen tonight, that has to do with one of Koplov´s warehouses near the docks. If that goes right he says things will be a lot better for us too. I don´t know if that´s what you want to know, but it´s all he told me!"

Meanwhile Banion is arriving at the door. He knocks and tries to enter, but the bouncer won´t let him into, despite the halfling´s screams and protests.

Inside Artea´s room, you can hear Banion shouting.

Cocking his head and listening to Banion's shouts, it is Beamer's turn to pale. "Sounds like we should be going. Thank you, Artea. Your help will not be forgotten. Everything will work out," he finishes with a tiny, reassuring pat on the arm. Beamer turns toward the door to get out before the entire guard comes crashing down.

Beamer (ooc: and Draig I suppose) hurriedly come out of Artea´s room; soon they can see Banion, retained by the bouncer. A few excuses, confused words and half hearted excuses [ooc: so we can keep the show running] they are outside, in a quiet place, and ready to plan their next move.

"Banion, what's all the commotion about?" asks Beamer with a concerned expression once they are in a relatively safe location.

Once Banion rejoins the group in a sheltered location, he explains that the disturbance was to alert them to a problem prior to the guard arriving. He explains that he delayed the messenger they had sent to the guards as long as possible without resorting to violence.
