Wrong place, wrong time. Or perhaps not...this halfling doesn't seem like a bad fellow and that changeling was set to gut him.

"I was actually wondering what *your* connection with him was - with Sho, that is."
First I've heard of him.
Konnor leans back against the seat nearest to him, crosses his arms, and frowns. "And he decided to turn into a knight while fighting you just for giggles?"
Kurctoch
No, he wanted to confuse me. That man he..he appeared to be, was very important to me. He was not just a knight, he was a Paladin. A member of a Holy Order dedicated to the teachings of the Sovereign Host. He worshipped the entire Host, but gave preference to Dol Dorn. As do I, as a result of his example.
I do not know how this man knew of my past.
Konnor glances at Marsh and Kamiel, and then back at Kurtoch. "Alright."
He pulls the length of rope off his belt and, checking to make sure that the irrelevant parties in the room are still oblivious, begins to tie Sho to the chair. "Let's ask him, then."
OOC:
SpoilerUse Rope Check: Konnor takes 20, if he can. Yes, it occured to me that I could do that only after I rolled. The original roll was a natural 1 + 7 = 8, so we can use that if necessary.
You manage to tie Sho quite nicely.
Konnor finishes tying Sho down and straightens up, then frowns at the still-unresponsive form. "So, uh, just how do you wake someone up from head trauma, anyway?"
Ice water? It's what we always used in the army. That, or a cleric.
"That is not known to me," Kamiel says. "I am more familiar with the reverse procedure."
SpoilerHey guys back after a long weekend. Doesn't seem like I'm needed at the moment though.
OOC:
SpoilerHi, I will likely be out of commission until saturday. My apartment shafted me on internet and I can't end-run their stupidity until the weekend. I'm sincerely sorry about this.
SpoilerAbsolutely no problem, at least as far as I am concerned, Jade ... I had a knee surgery done on Tuesday, and have to get back to speed anyway. Hehe, at those times, Real Life clerics would be nice to have! :smallwink: Good luck with regaining internet access! :smallsmile:
After several minutes of silence and awkward looks. Konnor grows impatient. "Ah, what the hell..." He then smacks Sho sharply across the face with an open-handed slap.
SpoilerIt sounds like you are in kneed of a cleric.Quote:
I had a knee surgery done on Tuesday, and have to get back to speed anyway.
Also sorry guys, I was just waiting since Jade was going to be away and I had a pretty busy week myself doing siding on the house.
Sho awakens from your slap, wincing. He doesn't speak at all when he comes to.
"Hello!" Konnor says softly but enthusiastically, with forced cheer. "Thank you for joining our little get-together here! We have a few things that we'd like you to clear up for us."
Remembering Jerrik, Konnor searches Sho before the questioning begins in earnest, looking for a tracer.
SpoilerSearch Check: Takes 20 again, if possible, if not, [roll0].
You don't find a tracer on him, but do find a rather long and sharp knife.
Konnor pulls out the knife, and then tucks it into his belt, next to Des's blade. "Rather fond of knives, aren't we?" Konnor straightens up from his search. "Alright then. This is how this is going to work. We're going to ask a bunch of questions, and then you're either going to answer them, or you're not. Then, we'll knock you out again and leave you, untied, in a back alley somewhere, and if you've been cooperative you will be alive at the end of this process. If you clam up on us, we'll just chuck you over the nearest unobserved balcony, and you can become best friends with the late Lord Mayor, because I have too many things to worry about without you gunning for me. Got it?"
OOC:
SpoilerIs everyone still here? It's just been a while since anyone but IM has posted...
Kurtoch
Yeah, I think he's gonna tell us everything he knows... Aren't you?
Kurtoch smiles a toothy grin at Sho.
[Spoiler
[roll0]
Spoiler
That was Intimidate. Der.
Sho nods, clearly growing afraid.
Kurtoch
The hobgoblin grows impatient.
Well? don't just sit there quivering like jelly, out with it! Who are you? Why are you here? Why did you assume that man's shape?
"The name's Sho. I'm here to see who actually has a degree of competence in investigation of the superweapon. I assumed the form of that man, gobbo, because he's with us now." Sho says, trying to remain calm.
Kurtoch
Superweapon? Sir John is with you? Explain!
Konnor
Konnor turns to Kurtoch. "Cannith built some kind of superweapon, intending to sell it to the Brelish throne. Then they lost it."
Kurtoch
The scarred hobgoblin smirks.
They were always poor on security.
Konnor
Konnor nods, but his thoughts on the matter are quite different. Not quite lax enough, for my tastes.
"If you say so. I've never heard of a Sir John, though."
"He's with us as in we took him. We're using him as a hostage, in case the Silver Flame or other religious organizations decide to get involved in the investigation and dig too deep. They wouldn't dare risk a Paladin for something that might not even be in this city. Sho tells you.
Konnor
"The investigation of what? You make it sound as if you have the weapon."
"Not quite, but you're at least starting to realize what I'm talking about I hope. Did you think I was just acting out of foolishness? This whole scheme runs deeper than you can imagine."
