"Bhjurba sends us," Yrsa snaps. "We're after his quarry and we've reason to believe someone down here knows a thing or two, or maybe he's inside."

"Oh, er, please head inside, ma'am."
The guards hastily get out of your way.
"Leak is downstairs with the keys, but we haven't seen him in a while. He's, uh, been acting weirder than usual. Call for us if you need anything."

"Err, well he's always been weird. Right? Or is that just me?" The first guard asks the second.
"Yer right. It's all those chemicals he smells, I reckon." Is her response, and she turns to Yrsa with more detail.
"Leak's been a real pain in the rear since a bit before he revolt. Always makes us wait, ooooh, 10 minutes or so until he lets us inside so we can make rounds."

"Well we plan to find out exactly what's going on. As you were," Leilara states with self-importance as she heads past them.

Yrsa nods, and follows Leilara.
Only folk I know that take so long are smugglers or those with something to conceal, Yrsa's thoughts whisper into the minds of Leilara and Magnus each in turn. Question is, how do we entrap or entice this Leak to reveal his secret?

Once they're away from the guards hearing, Magnus cracks his knuckles, whispering, "Everyone can be made to talk, even if reasoning with them fails."

Leilara bursts into the room at the bottom of the stairs, and is quickly followed by Magnus and Yrsa. A man with long, unkempt hair frantically slams his desk drawer shut at Leilara's sudden appearance. This must be who they call Leak, the only thing that overpowers his sketchiness is his stench. It smells like musty rat droppings down in this little 'office', and the only light comes from a single torch on the wall.
"W-what is the meaning of this?! I said no one can come down here, only I can ensure these prisoners don't escape!"
@Leilara - You immediately feel the same presence you felt when you were in the tower earlier. It felt like something was prowling right behind as you made your way down the stone steps. You've already resisted it's presence today, so you don't need to make another check.

Loooot of possible things to do here, just ask any questions and make rolls~Dec 1, 2016 4:18 pm
Yrsa strides into the room, ignoring the outburst with the practiced confidence of a pirate acting like they belong. She flanks Leilara like a bodyguard, letting her scimitar scabbard resound off her armor while she holds a handaxe, and prowls forward down the side of the room to the man. Planting the blade into the desk with a thunk, Yrsa calmly says, "Quiet," as she moves around to the other side to guide the man away by his shoulder. At the same time, her voice whispers an echo into the man's mind, quietquietquiet touched with what sounds like faint laughter underwater.

Magnus draws himself up to his full height and begins stroking the pommel of his sword at his hip, glaring at the man menacingly.

Trying to assist Yrsa's intimidation attempt, maybe giving her advantage?Dec 1, 2016 6:03 pm
Fighting back revulsion, Leilara glares at this "Leak". While the others scare him into silence, Leilara looks around the room for anything that might tell her more about what diseased magic lurks here.

OOC:
Yes, helping out does give her advantage. You won't need it though, since she rolled higher than Leak can beat.Leilara doesn't see anything that looks magical at all, just an desk with some writing utensils and cleaning equipment. You can look through them if you want, but Leak jumps a little when you put your hand near the desk drawers.

Yrsa pushes down on Leak's shoulder to get him to kneel, as well as bring him eye-level to Leilara. "We're going to ask you some questions," she begins, "and you will answer."
Yrsa's thoughts caress Leak's mind like a slippery tentacle, Yesss... talk nicely...

"Let us start with the simple ones," Yrsa continues, maneuvering around the kneeling man. "Caulder. Have you seen him recently?"

"I didn't ask where he lives, I asked if you've seen him," Yrsa remarks, casually. "But your quickness in deflecting my attention makes me think that you have, and further, that you have an arrangement."

Seeing that Yrsa isn't backing down, Leak caves slightly.
"H-he comes down here sometimes, but I don't know what he's doing! Not exactly, anyway... Sometimes the slaves aren't there anymore when he leaves. It's been a week since I last saw him!"

While Yrsa keeps his attention, Leilara attempts to quietly move towards and inspect the desk drawers that he seemed to be nervous about.

Yrsa continues her questioning. "And when you last saw him a week ago, he hadn't left?" she asks, willfully planting the last part to see how Leak responds.
