While Aria ran the standard intimidation and woke the woman up, Kass simply found the nearby chest and sat upon it, legs crossed and arms so as well, smiling and generally looking quite pleasant.  In reality, she was seriously considering her options, and plan of action, and when she came to she waited for her to finish her initial insults and whatnot.  Looking at her more closely, she seemed to be from the Moonsea region, and despite the gag, she sounded it too... interesting, something worth noting perhaps.  Kass stood still smiling, chuckling a bit at her 'insult'.  'Overclever' tongue?  Okay, perhaps that one about her Master had been a bit too far, but she had come out on the better end of the deal, hadn't she?<br/><br/>"Oh, that's quite observant and clever of you, much better than your impression of Rana." Kass replies, sounding happier than she likely should be "By the way, most people don't talk<em>that</em>smoothly; tongues are only worn smooth by<em>lying</em>my dear.  But yes, there is a little bit of information that we need."<br/><br/>Kass pulled out the map with the circle on it, and the book with the multitude of dogeared pages, turning specifically to the one regarding the statue of Adon.  Kass was still sure to be smiling, even as she was carefully analyzing this woman's expression.<br/><br/>"See, we found Rana earlier today, killed that 'Oz' guy and the wicker man, and<em>then</em>found Oz's half-giantess of a daughter and sent her on the express trip to see her dear sweet father." she continued, her tone measured and unchanging still "During that, a certain... potent spell was set off, something that devastated the landscape... but as you can see, the two of us<em>really</em>weren't harmed too badly by it... and something tells me these artifacts play a key roll in the spell, otherwise why would you need them?"<br/><br/>Returning the map and book back to her pack, Kass remained crouched down in front of the woman, still smiling, her expression deliberately unchanging.  She failed to mention she knew they were heading to Cormyr, mainly because she was using it as a test of validity, to ensure that even if this woman seemed like she was telling the truth, that Kass would be able to check and make sure on that particular item.<br/><br/>"Now, I'd like to know about that spell that was used, where I can find your allies, where you plan on using this spell next, and especially where I can find the statue of Adon." Kass continued "If you cooperate, I may be willing to find a way to untie you, or perhaps work something out for you to make your life a bit less miserable than it could be in the foreseeable future, so do you think you can help me out any sweetie?"<br/><br/>Okay, so Diplomacy to persuade, and Sense Motive to sense if she's lying.<br/><br/>At 2011-01-24 00:39:54, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 1d20a21 Result: 38 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=22075) for the Sense Motive<br/>At 2011-01-24 00:39:47, Keelan (uid: 15533) rolls: 1d20a35 Result: 52 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=22074) for the Diplomacy
