After a few terse minutes sitting there, Oriana finally returned with her bandit, pulling the gang away from the table to discuss her findings. Right from the start Silas could see what she learned was not to her liking,<em><strong>the truth often isn't.</strong></em><br/><br/>From what Oriana learned, Eleanor was trying to lead them into a slaughter, feeding them false directions and false passwords. "<strong>By the bloody bones of St. Gilmore...</strong>" Silas echoed, more for memorization than any sort of emphasis on the phrase. Korell was not a religious man by any means, but he imagined that St. Gilmore, whoever he was, would weep to learn his name was used for such a purpose.<em><strong>Although it's certainly fancier than any passphrase I've used.</strong></em><br/><br/>The last bit of information was more regrettable, although Silas was prepared for such an outcome. Eleanor in her arcane-addled state had asked Oriana to skip town and join with the Stag Lord, a request that did nothing but prove she was beyond redemption. Oriana seemed to be taking the revelation the hardest, which spurred some in the group to find some way to console her. Adelise offered comfort to the Sorceress, Silas offered pragmatism; "<strong>Well, now that we got what we needed from her</strong>" Silas started matter-of-factly, looking to the soon-to-be corpse sitting at the table, "<strong>Who's gonna do it?</strong>"<br/><br/>It didn't take long before Adelise answered that question, offering to end the wretched creature's life with her own blade. Silas was somewhat disappointed at her offer; in his own way, he was looking forward to playing the role of executioner... Oh well, there's always next time. "<strong>Agreed</strong>" Silas concurred, stepping away from the group as he moved to go back to his quarters, "<strong>wouldn't want to do it with my own blade anyway; seeing how their leader fared, I'd probably hit her shoulders before her neck.</strong>"<br/><br/>Giving the Swordswoman a firm pat on the shoulder as he passed, he added with a whisper, "<strong>make sure to do it outside the Outpost, these walls have seen enough bloodshed for today.</strong>"
