Tara
*Nox would stand back from the group, and motion Arthur to come talk to him*
Bobbie
*Arthur would notice Nox's gesture, but only responded with a glance, followed up with a harsh* "What do you want from me now?"
Tara
*Nox would shake his head and stand back, letting them carry on*
Mario
*The merchant would look at Syele and Arthur with fear and shake his head*

"Are you insane? Do you see how many of them are in there? If you set them free I doubt you can hold them back! We're as good as dead if we hand over the keys! And that isn't even taking into account the buyers who would have our heads if we lost all this cargo! H-H-How we about we hire you to be our new mercenaries? Whatever we were paying them we can pay you instead, no make that double what we were paying them! That way you still make some coin without any legal trouble and we can still carry out our business!" 

*The slaves in the cages would be unsure what was going on and would approach the edge of their cages and start slamming against it, yelling in a language that no one in the group understood, visibly upset and frustrated. The merchants would cower at the sudden commotion and point*

"See, absolute monsters I tell you! They're just itching to get out and rip us to shreds!"
Bobbie
*Arthur could sense a good deal of lies coming from the man, seeing how the slaves were slamming against the walls of their cages. Obviously, the slavers had done various atrocities in order to capture these men alive, and were likely corrupt and rotten to the very core of their beings. The kitsune looked in even closer, having his nose touch the nose of the red merchant. He repeated once again, this time with increased ferocity in his voice, empathiszing his point by swiftly using the bottom side of his halberd to push the man onto the floor.*

"The keys. I'll ask you one more time, and if you don't, I will gladly slay you where you stand."

*He grabbed one of his Hellfire Blades from orbiting his chest, using his left hand to hold it up to the merchant's neck, letting the cold steel point jab against the merchant's warm flesh, causing the man to bleed. In all honesty, Arthur didn't want to do this, but he had no choice if he wanted to gain access to the keys.*
Arlie
*Syele stood by and waited for Arthur to finish up his scare tactics or to actually kill one of the merchants. They were worth more alive, but seemingly the boss wasn't going to send one of his men to clean up the cargo like usual. Which, was rather odd, but they must be having to actually go back to town with the slaves... Which would be tricky in her opinion, they would have to take the main road and keep the slaves under control for the entire trip.*
Tara
*Nox, frustrated by Arthur's Incompetence, Moved up to Syele and whispered:* "Tell your friend to get a hold of himself. Remember what the Plague doctor told us? He told us the business was lucrative, and the merchants only traded with our employer. The only reason we are here is because they started trading with others. We keep those slaves alive, tie up the merchants and go back to the Plague doctor"
Arlie
*Syele nodded, Nox was becoming frustrated but not reasonably so, they would need horses to haul out the slave crates if they didn't get the keys, but having to threaten their ways to the keys was taking too long.* "We'll have to get the keys or come up with another idea, it's not as simple as you wish... But I don't disagree that I wish it was a easier matter to handle... Maybe we should just kill them already and take the keys... We don't exactly have to take the merchants back alive anyways."
Sue
"Why don't we kill them all?Or just call the pleague guy now?" Dracul said looking at everyone
Tara
"*I only killed one horse, we can still make it back up the hill but at a much slower pace. We were contracted to kill them, so I suggest that we go it before Arthur sets free all the slaves. Our employer may need them*" *Nox continued Whispering, so that only Syele could hear him*
Bobbie
"I suppose we don't any more time to waste on these two anymore," *He whispered to himself. Arthur would turn back towards Syele and Nox.* "I'll go ahead and take the keys from their dead bodies, while you guys go on and try and find a means of transporting these guys. There should a sort of wagon or caravan somewhere, so it'd be best if you were to go and use those."

*With this, Arthur would take the sword that was held up to the red merchant's neck, and would plunge it into the merchant's flesh. Shortly after, he would take his halberd, swinging it swiftly towards the green merchant's chest area, not giving the man a moment of rest. If successful, he would begin searching both of their bodies for the keys to the cages, tearing off their garments and searching every inch of their body.*
Mario
*The merchants would look at Arthur and try to move away from upon seeing his cold merciless eyes*

"No, please! You don't ne-" *The Red Merchant would have his throat slit and would go limp shortly after*

*The Green merchant seeing his friend be killed would attempt to leap out of the caravan but would be too slow compared to Arthur's thrust. The halberd would impale his chest and he would cough up blood for a minute or so before also going limp. Arthur would being searching the bodies and would have to do some extensive searching, even going through their underwear but wouldn't be able to find the keys anywhere. The slaves would seemingly be more aggressive, slamming against the cage while some of them would point downwards with their fingers for some reason*
Sue
Dracul saw the salves pointing downwards. "Maybe its here" He said as he searched where the slaves pointed
Arlie
*For the mean time Syele would rip a piece off her wool tunic's sleeve and covered her mouth to avoid frightening the horses due to the blood still on her. She would then approach them and calmly comfort them enough to hopefully get them suited up to the carriage rig while the others tried to figure out how to get the cages open... Even if they couldn't then taking the whole thing would be the next easiest thing to do.*
Sue
We'll hopefully finish it after that
Bobbie
*Watching as the slaves pounded their fists against their cages, Arthur promptly ignore this bunch, however, he watched a good amount point downwards with their fingers. He had no idea what this meant, seeing that the merchant's bodies had yielded no results whatsoever, but perhaps the keys were... Hidden in the ground?*

*An idea shot through him. He quickly tossed his halberd to his side, using both of his hands to dig in the dirt. It was gross, but reminded him of when he was but a child, digging through the earth and flnging the mud at his brothers. Oh, his brothers... Anyway, he would keep digging, hoping to find something that would be a clue towards what the beastkin were indicating at.*
Tara
*Nox would simply walk back to the horse that he had gutted, unharness him, and walked around to find the next strongest horse. Satisfied, he would lead the horse over and harness him to the Caravan. Looking over at Arthur he would say:*

"Let's go! You continue digging, but Ill start leading the Caravan up the hill!"
Bobbie
"Alright, go ahead and do that. I'll find the keys so you could, I don't know, get them out?"
Tara
*Now would get on the carriage, find the whip, and promptly creating a loud crack in the air as he whipped the horses into action. He would steer them back in the direction the came from, going back up the hill.*

"What do you even need the Keys or whatever they are pointing at?"
Bobbie
"Are you moronic or something?" He would yell at Nox. "We need the keys to open the cages, nimrod."
Tara
"Quite clearly not, but do as you please. The Slaves are going to the Plague doctor"
Bobbie
"The doctor needs the keys to open the damn cages. Now im starting to suspect your stupidity is genuine."
Mario
*As Dracul and Arthur would start searching the ground the slaves would be shaking their heads and start stomping their feet and pointing downward again. Syele would calm down the horses a tad bit, allowing them to be ordered around by Nox as he starts to move the caravan up the hill. This would cause the slaves to loose their balance and fall over. They would look at Nox with anger in their eyes and start screaming at him and banging the bars of their cage, also to little effect.*
Sue
Dracul would dig more trying to find the keys. "I think we're close to finding it.
Bobbie
"What the hell do they mean..." *Arthur muttered to himself. Stomping the round and pointing downwards? Did he have to do like, a dance or something? That was doubtful. He needed to think more. If the slaves meant that the keys weren't in the ground, what could it mean if they stomped their feet and pointed at the ground? He wasn't going to lie to himself; he was at a complete loss at what to do in this situation. Could he have missed something whilst searching the merchant's bodies? Anyway, he walked up to the slaves, attempting to make conversation with them. If they knew any sort of Sebduanian, perhaps he could try and communicate with them, even slightly. Attempting to speak beastkin tongue, he would shrug as he asked the slaves a question in their native language.*

"Do... You... Know... Seb.. Duanian...?"
Mario
*Most of the slaves would be focused at yelling and screaming at Nox, but a few would turn and continue pointing downward. A felind would hold its arm out with its palm facing downward. It would then put around itself, the ceiling of the cage, the bars, and the ground, and then point at the palm. It would then point to the palm of its hand*
Bobbie
*That... Really didn't help him much, did it? The Felind hat pointed to the ceiling, his palm, the ground, and himself. Perhaps it was trying to tell Arthur to get it out through the ceiling, instead of the location of the key? After all, pointing in various random directions didn't help the kitsune discern the key's location at all. Though... How was he to help the slave escape?*
Sue
"I'll try this." Dracul said as his hand glowed with blueish aura and launched a bolt of ice energy on the corner of the cage as he slashed the spot hard with his sword.
