He thinks for the moment about these options though very much agreed that torture wasn't the best method. His eyes do however glance over to Coral for the moment. Fortune was no good at tracking and they would need to pick up the scent somehow. The easiest way was to track the blood ape. However if that wasn't possible, then they needed to find them through another means. Holding one of the dead owls that he had managed to snag from his attempt to stop them from making off with Wild Heart he approached Coral.<strong>"This was one of the many birds that the sorceress transformed into. I know it is assuming much but as one of those blessed by Luna you have impressive survival skills yes? Can you by chance pick up the scent of these birds and follow them in such a way? At the very least it can get us on track to where we need to go."</strong>Once Fortune asked that and since no one else was taking initiative.<strong>"Everyone going after Wild Heart should start arming themselves. I'll take a few things for myself in light of the finds and what we have to deal with."</strong><br/><br/>Fortune smiled seeing how the animal was being tended to. Any that were past the point of no return should be mercifully put down if possible. However he would walk over to the bound prisoners.<strong>"Let me handle this if you don't mind."</strong>Fortune took hold of one of the water skins and knelt down in front of the man, holding it. If the man was conscious he appraised his initial reaction to him. If he saw him take out the big blood ape and the large mortal then it was probably going to be easier for them to get the information. After all the big man was probably not going to wake up soon after the pummeling given to him. If the prisoner was unconscious he would have to jar him awake some how. A very light slap to the cheek would be the first attempt. Second attempt is to douse him slightly with the waterskin.<br/><br/><strong>"Alright then. I trust you know the situation you are in and what I want to know. But in case you aren't or just still woozy, I'll spell it out. I want to know where the sorcerer and Thief King Zudrak are now. With all this treasure and stolen goods, I imagine there was much more on them but more importantly they have one of ours."</strong>He gave pause for the moment before offering some water. The Fool still offers mercy even when under the duress of saving a friend. Should he be spurned of his offer or insulted he continues to be calm about this. If he saw headway or stubbornness he would make a small point.<strong>"You have loved ones yes? No one to come home to? Family, wife, children? Think about them wondering why you haven't come home. Think about the moment when they expect you to come and never see you again because of a situation like this. Reconsider that and tell me what I want to know."</strong>Fortune was playing on compassion and the opportunity for a level of mercy.<strong>"And if you are scared for reprisal from those two... they won't. I'll make sure of that."</strong>Sometimes knowing the fear of a ruthless bandit keeps an underling in check even under capture and thus he needed to dissuade the bandits concerns.<br/>
