Ceraan had stood off to the side as the interrogation began, not feeling as if he could be of much use - he doubted he had the skills to extract information from the imp without hurting it, and as he revealed more and more of what was going on, the Aasimar became certain of i. If he'd been handling the interrogation, likely the imp would have been dead after the revelation about the village children. Letting out a pent-up sigh and running his hands through his hair, he kept watching from the side until the imp revealed the name of the Incubus.

As Ewis and Olodra discuss strategy, he takes a moment to walk over to imp, still held under Kubar's watchful eye and leans down, until they're almost eye-to-eye. When he spoke, the language wasn't Common, or even one of the other local languages. His voice turned deep, with a soft otherworldly echo.

Translation from Celestial: It will not be us who lose, imp. You think you have discouraged us with what you have told us today? All you have done is given us the information we need to sweep your pawn off the board,Apa nætiva, apoyi. Oba ada apaṭa pavasā æti dē saman̆ga oba apava adhairyamat kara æti bava oba sitanavāda? Obagē giṇumen oba ivata dæmīmaṭa avaśya toraturu api obaṭa labā dunnā," Ceraan's eyes glinted as he smiled, with a slightly scary edge to it. Translation from Celestial: I know you don't fear any death we can give you, but my question is, what happens when you get home and your masters find out what you did?"Mama dannavā oyā apiṭa kisima deyak baya karanna bǣ kiyalā. Et maṭa praśnayak tiyenavā, oyā gedara enakoṭa vennē mokakda?

First thing we need to do if find that incubus, and we'll see what opportunity comes up." ooc

Kubar sheathed the dagger and took an ink pen, ink, and a folded piece of paper. He began jotting down notes. As if considering something, he places the end of the pen in his mouth before finally asking another question. Why are the soldiers gathering cloth for? How do they plan to get over the wall?

The Imp looks at Ceeran and hisses as if the strange language might injute it. "Speak not the foul language of your heavens. I know it not and it pains me in my bones. I feel her judgement upon me in it the casting out." It shivers and hisses in utter disgust and clear fear.

It takes a moment before the creature is back to it's senses and it says, "The big ones always hurts us. We lie and make micheif and such. Not concerned about you telling them things about what I say. And you Orc, the cloth is to roll over the stones so it won't burn us."

[Khalil]

Kubar made some quick notes on his notepad, and then put the sheet and inkpen away. He looks over to the lieutenant expectedly. Gosh Lieutenant, I think we have everything we need right now. Lets off the runt and be done with it.

"What if we have the farmers take this imp back to the chapter hall in Fallhold? There they have more time to extract even more information while we continue our mission. The special shackle swill hold him, and they can just keep the thing knocked out I hope. Meanwhile, we move to burn the cloth the soldiers are collecting." ooc

[Bio]

Syl Link, wolf That was an option; sending the farmer to Fallhold with the imp. Turning her gaze upon the Knight who had just joined them, Syl offered a slightly different plan. "Ceraan undoubtedly knows the patrols and the Knights on them better than any of the rest of us. He'll be able to find one as we journey towards our objective, and the Lieutenant can have that Knight take the imp." With the imp dealt with in a more secure fashion, the group found itself able to move out and tackle the next leg of their journey.   AC/T/FF: 19/13/16 HP: F/R/W: 7/5/9 1 hr/LWild Shape: 1/2   Drow: Detect Magic (at will), Dancing Lights 1/1, Darkness 1/1, Faerie Fire 1/1, Feather Fall 1/1, Levitate 1/1 4 Level 0s: Guidance, Light, Stabilize, Create Water 4 Level 1s: Magic Fang 2/2, Ray of Sickening 1/1, Entangle 1/1 4 Level 2s: Barkskin 2/2, Restoration, Lesser 1/1, Web Shelter 1/1 3 Level 3s: Daylight 1/1, Resist Energy (Communal) 1/1, Neutralize Poison 1/1

Whichever option was finally decided on it ended with the group was less one Imp and one set of magic manacles. Turned towards the town in the distance they were able to note the areas that the Imperial Legion were bivoaced in, but could not easily be sure where the General of those legions was at the moment.

Then again, the river was clearly where the looms and the cloth would be. So they could go that direction and, since it was getting dark, it would be unlikely for the various citizens to note that a number of the Knights were not human. Even so some stealth would be required.

OOC For those Knights who are not human I'd like a stealth roll. After that I'll describe the Building where the cloth is being made unless you decide to head somewhere else....

Ceraan nodded at Syl's plan. "There will be another patrol coming down the riverbed soon - they usually come through once a week to ensure nothing dangerous is on the banks because the fisherman from the previous village are there quite often, and the children play there as well. Their route will take them back towards Fallhold, so they will likely reach it sooner than the farmers, and we won't have to risk sending him away from his family," Ceraan looked at Kubar. "The lieutenant did agree to spare the creature if it co-operated, so I believe this would be a better option than killing it."

Kubar had protested letting the farmers handle the imp. For the untrained the little imp could cause incredible harm and felt it would be irresponsible as knights to allow citizens to take on such a burden. He finally submitted when the other option was given. Kubar might be the lowest rank of the knights, but there was a reasoned that remained so. Temperance bordering on insubordination was one of them. Still Kubar only acted out when things were unfair or not right. Hence why he'd yet to be kicked out of the cadre. Kubar strolled down the road with his ass and dog. His highwayman's coat's collar lifted high to cover most of his face and his trifoiled leaned low. He looked over at Ceraan who looked like a diametrically opposite foil to him. Or someone a whole lot prettier than himself.

Moving over the bridge across the Reaver's Run river and into Marshpointe you can see that the Tavern is well lit and active. Inside you see a number of Imperial troops getting drunk along with some local villagers. Passing it and heading south the Market area is quiet at this time of night. Beyond it you see the cloth factory set up on the Cold Creek. A water wheel spins slowly with the current of Cold Creek, but the building itself is dark.

When they saw the town, he looked at the others, "I think hiding will be pretty difficult for Drow and Orcs... Only option I can think is Syl using that strange animal changing thing and hides that way."

"I think we *can* use the darkness to employ stealth, but Syl should lead the way. she can turn back into a rat, and can signal to us to follow when the coast is clear, and to stop when the coast isn't. We'll make our way to the cloth factory, then try to destroy it. Who here has fire magic?" ooc

[Bio]

Syl Link, wolf After a bit of a prolonged moment, Syl spoke up. "I don't have any fire magic at the moment." She reached down to pet Link as she sat upon the beast, observing the town spread out before them. She'd been thinking of burning the building down herself, but now had doubts given how closely situated the factory was to other buildings. True, the townsfolk might be able to put it out, especially given its proximity to the river. "But I can prepare some fire spells in the morning if you like." Another pause. reading this in given the OoC conversationThe looks about her companions told the druid that they too felt at least a little uncomfortable about starting a fire amongst a civilian population. "Seeing as how I'd have to wait till the morning to prepare new spells anyway, I'll offer that strange use of the spell okayed via PM with YsoldeI could instead prepare a summoning spell to call moth larvae to consume the fabric instead of starting a fire. Might be more subtle if we wish to maintain a lower profile. Either way, I can become an animal to sneak in at night after everyone's gone home." That left them out here for the time being. "Since it will take until tomorrow to have new spells, might we utilize our time by sending the boys in to do some scouting? Even the orc shouldn't get noticed." Giving the Knight a look over, the drow found herself suitably impressed at just how human he could make himself look. "If you gents happen across a some sort of hand-wagon and a barrel or two, drow could be smuggled in that way pretty much without any need for stealth at all. Hidden in plain sight, as it were." Or a very large box. A coffin too would work splendidly to accommodate their lieutenant, but would also be a fair bit more likely to draw unwanted attention. They could figure something out though she was sure.   AC/T/FF: 19/13/16 HP: F/R/W: 7/5/9 1 hr/LWild Shape: 1/2   Drow: Detect Magic (at will), Dancing Lights 1/1, Darkness 1/1, Faerie Fire 1/1, Feather Fall 1/1, Levitate 1/1 4 Level 0s: Guidance, Light, Stabilize, Create Water 4 Level 1s: Magic Fang 2/2, Ray of Sickening 1/1, Entangle 1/1 4 Level 2s: Barkskin 2/2, Restoration, Lesser 1/1, Web Shelter 1/1 3 Level 3s: Daylight 1/1, Resist Energy (Communal) 1/1, Neutralize Poison 1/1

When those who were scouting this evening passed the The Two blue oneslarger houses they would have noted recently made wooden pallisades around them and a few look-out posts near any of the entrances. These lookout posts had Imperial Guards in them and in armor that seemed to be rather more recent than most Imperial troops were outfitted with. However, as long as the group stayed on the roads the guards paid them little mind.
