The sunside is unfamiliar to us, but if it is as you say, it will be better than just rotting here." <br/><br/>She rummages around in a rucksack for a minute before pulling out five clear sheets of... something. They seem to be library index cards, but are made of a clear, hard, and flexible material that you have never seen before. Nothing is written on them, but each have a brown strip on them. <br/><br/>"Two weeks ago, a purple haired woman passed through this region accompanied by a number of orcs and rats. She bribed our leader at the to kill anyone who tried to follow her party deeper into the caves. Clearly that didn't work out for him, as he was killed by the wizard that led another group in about a week ago. We wish to have nothing to do with her. Before her group left, they asked if we had found any of these. At time time we hadn't but since then we have recovered these from the rubble. I have no idea what they are, but they must have some value if she wants them." <br/><br/>It doesn't take any great leaps of logic to conclude that the wizard who killed the previous leader was Councillor Khonnir.  <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"That must have been Councilor Khonnir," Arafel murmured to himself. At the mention of having been bribed to kill, Arafel's eyes widened, and he wondered if killing sentient creatures came so easily to these people. He resolved to make an impression. "Sef. I don't know what you and your people have been through before, but trust me, you don't want trouble topside. There are rules there, laws, and they make the entire situation better for everyone. If they are followed, if you and yours work and put in the time and energy to help yourselves, you can lead peaceful lives where none of you need to worry of being hounded, hurt, or stolen from. There are people there who can protect you, the Watch who keep the laws. But," and he raises a finger, "if you break the laws, if you hurt or steal from others, then the entire town will become your enemy. There will be no place safe for you and yours. It may take time, but the people will accept you as one of their own, and you'll have a place to shelter and keep yourselves fed and safe. But if you break that trust, if even one of you turns to a darker path and causes havoc and trouble, then it will create a bad impression on all of you, and you may well all be told to leave--or worse, if the crime is severe enough."<br/><br/>"Take care, and impress upon your friends that they need to follow the law. It will bode well if you can do so. If not, distance yourself from them, and make it clear to all that they are not part of your gathering. For if you cannot control them, then the place you have made for yourself, the protection you have found, and the lives that you have gained, will be for naught. And I will be the first to take back my trust in you, and will personally rid the city of your presence." He came closer, a fell look in his eyes as his voice drops to a whisper. "And you do not wish to make an enemy of me. Understand? Keep your people in check. Live good lives. And good will come to you. Or," he takes another step closer, "leave the city and make your own way into the wilderness. But do not bring chaos or worse into the city. Give the others the same choice. And if they decide they can't handle that, make them leave before any evil is wrought upon the citizens of Torch. Understood?" he pauses a beat, waiting for her acknowledgement of his words before nodding, and allowing her to leave.<br/><br/>Once the skulks all leave, he gathers everyone together before beginning to make his way towards where the gremlins were located, intent on ridding the caves of them before continuing on in their search of the Councilor.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Intimidation check: 25 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=73298)<br/><br/>w00t, nat 20!
