"I-I don't know for sure! I just know that slaves disappear...mostly disappear anyway."

Inside the drawer you find a worn box, looks like it's something Leak uses to store things. The box is filled with loose teeth of varying size and shape. You notice human, half-orc, and a few others you can't place.

"AHH! Don't touch my box! Please!"

It looks like he's about to launch himself at Leilara.

Yrsa cracks her whip. "Focus!" she says, trying to draw Leak's attention back to her.

Magnus steps between Leak and Leilara, half-drawing his sword as a threat, "Step back!" he shouts, growling at the disgusting wretch.

Leilara drops the horror-box with a small shriek. She then studies the teeth from a safe distance, intrigued but disgusted.
Dec 7, 2016 8:07 am
At the sight of Magnus, Leak grits his teeth and stops in his tracks. He's still glaring at Leilara, but he doesn't dare move closer.

"He came in here, yes. There two torches in the main room, he told me not to let anyone in while only one was lit. I don't know what he's doing."
OOC:
@Leilara - You can roll nature or medicine to determine how to teeth got in that state, arcana if you think there's something magical, or insight to deduce the meaning of Leak's attachment.
Dec 7, 2016 3:46 pm
"And what did he pay to buy your cooperation?" asks Yrsa.

Insight - (1d20+1)

(20) + 1 = 21

Leilara inspects the teeth with revolted fascination.

Yrsa can tell that Leak holds a great amount of admiration for Caulder, but isn't quite sure of the reason why. It must have something to do with whatever Caulder found in the 'Whispering Cave'.

"He's a doctor, he's has a right to experiment! I'm content to just guard the door, and I pick up anything the slaves leave behind."

By inspecting the teeth Leilara finds out a few details. First, there are no cuts or dents in the teeth, so they weren't surgically removed or pulled. Second is that they are all fairly undamaged, as if the rest of the jaw was somehow melted away. Lastly, they are too white to be the teeth of slaves, unless their teeth were bleached or had the first few layers of enamel removed.

"Ah yes, his experiments," Yrsa continues. "I'm sure you know something about them. Curiosity must have been strong; what was he doing?"

...whatwashedoing...

Leak pleads with the party.

"I told you, I don't know! You can look around if you want, just don't kill me!"
Dec 11, 2016 2:36 am
Yrsa idly inspects her fingernails, before looking back at Leak. "I believe you; you probably weren't allowed to watch what he was doing, yes?" she says. "However, you must have seen what he brought with him. What he carried in, what he carried out. That sort of thing."

Yrsa's thoughts take on a different tone, almost primal and black, from the deepest depths, ...isittasty?isitdelicious?...
Dec 11, 2016 3:57 am
Leak collapses onto the floor, unable to take Yrsa's mental assault. He has his hands clasped over his ears, and his eyelids are scrunched shut. It looks like he's crying softly as he rocks back and forth.
Dec 11, 2016 4:37 am
Yrsa looks over at Magnus and Leilara, and shrugs as though she doesn't know what is wrong with the sniveling man.
Dec 13, 2016 9:05 pm
Magnus shakes his head in disgust, then bends down to tie him up and gag him. "No need to have him around to try and alert Caulder before we show up to visit," he says.
Dec 13, 2016 9:07 pm
Yrsa looks for the keys to the dungeon, if it's on Leak's body or around the room itself.
Dec 13, 2016 9:38 pm
"Now I'm sure that saying that these removed teeth are very strange is rather redundant, but these removed teeth ARE rather strange. They don't seem to have been extracted by means I can identify. It's almost as if they fell out of a head or were... melted off? This just gets worse and worse..."
Dec 14, 2016 8:03 am
Magnus ties Leak up, and loops the rope through a ring on the wall. He won't be getting out of there easily.

Yrsa grabs the ring of rusted keys off the wall, but there are no labels telling which doors they open. The door to the main dungeon room is unlocked, so these keys must be used for the cells.
Dec 14, 2016 3:53 pm
Yrsa opens the door to the main dungeon room, one hand hovering over the pommel of her scimitar just in case.
Dec 15, 2016 2:15 pm
The dungeon room is dim, with only one torch lit on the far back wall. There's six large cells in the dungeon, with three one each side. Only two of the cells are crammed with a good amount of slaves, while the other three are suspiciously empty. They've been locked down here for a while, many of them look resigned to their fate.
Dec 15, 2016 4:33 pm
Yrsa's devilish vision compensates well in the dim light, and she stops by the two occupied cells. She scans the slaves, looking to pick out any half-orcs amongst them.
