It was quite clear that this woman was in it for the money... a mercenary or sellsword of sorts, a trickster more interested in gold than loyalty.  This, naturally, worked in her favor, especially as she indeed gave the same ransom, meaning it was the same plot, meaning she likely knew the plan all to well.  Good... and she seemed to be telling the truth as well.<br/><br/>She agreed to tell them of the statue, and of who and where the others are, and her logic was sound; there was no way in the Nine Hells that they'd let her go before finding that which they sought, and stuck here she had no chance of earning any gold at all.  Smart of her, and made Kass' job all the easier.  The next target was Luthcheq, in the region of Chessenta, which she could verify with that one book she had and the next artifact in the list.  Excellent, and again she seemed to be being truthful... which was also a problem, as Kass' own drawing upon the Weave had expended much of her power already, and the deadline for when they'd have to stop the next theft of an artifact was too soon to get substantial rest to replenish herself... not the best of situations, but it's not like she had a choice in timeframes.<br/><br/>"That's quite helpful of you dear; keep it up and you may very well find yourself free when this is all over." Kass replied, softly chuckling a bit as she reached out and stroked the side of the woman's face "Now, that's where and when the thieves will be heading, as well as the next target for that spell... so now where can I find the statue of Adon, and where can I find whoever is running this little operation?  I'd also like to know if the statue has been harmed as well, because if it has... well, let's just say I'll be less than pleased with everyone involved, and that wouldn't be good for them.  So again dear, where can I find the statue, and where can I find the other members of this, especially the one casting such a powerful spell?"<br/><br/>When that was done, and after the prisoner had responded and without turning her head, she began to speak to Aria... in Sylvan of course.<br/><br/>"What do you think we should do with her?  Do you think bringing her with us would make it easier to find the statue and everything?  Would it be worth the risk you think?  Obviously if she gives good directions and locations, all should be well... and do you think they'll be able to spare some other hands for such a mission alternatively from here at the temple?"<br/><br/>Wow... we're heading to Sparta, aren't we? Two thoughts that occurred to me: one was will I have the opportunity to kick a man down a gigantic fucking hole?  And the other was how hard do you think it would be to get Athena into bed with Kass?  XD<br/><br/>On a more serious note, would a ring of Sustenance allow me to regain my spells with the two hours of rest it allows me to use?<br/><br/>Also, as it stands given the timeframe, Kass won't be doing anything sexual unless there's a time period where they know for a fact there is nothing they can be doing, so as it stands they'll likely need to talk to Rana about sending a messenger to Cormyr to relay the ransom and the information, go out and find the statue of Adon (admittedly, saving the town is a bigger thing, but Kass, as a Heartwarder, has a more directly vested interest in finding the statue of Adon), then heading to fantastical Sparta to warn them and try and stop things before they start there, which means the earliest time for some 'companionship' to occur would be when they're in that Sparta-esque town waiting for the thieves to strike.  Just letting you know what's up ^_^
