Zou sizes up the halfling and responds "Well I don't know about wisdom, I just happen to say what I think as soon as I thinks it. I find it gets me in trouble at times, but me thinks it's better that than to say or think it behind ye back. But I must say that if the sword was so popular let the folk fight o'r it an' be done with it. Though seems most lawmen are too busy trying to making a name for themselves to think rationally or to use common sense."
To Janya he responds, "I don't know what we're doing here, we should beat up the evil doers and take the blade back, then leave this place."
He stares at Jobe, arms crossed. "See anything else?"
Cage nods his head at Tear's words.
Sentiments I share completely. However, rational thought recedes the need for violence. Are we so sure that Grelm and his bunch are responsible? I have a mind that it wasn't them. You three see this to the end and you'll not only have the blade, but will be in my good graces to boot.
The halfling to Zou.
Sword, buah. Stupid whore has it wrong. It's a dagger. Was ours not too long ago, but my party lost it. Now it seems were not likely to get it back. Mind you if I find the thief who made off with it I will gut him, or her from balls to balls.
he jesters from his crotch to his eyes.
Jobe clears his throat.
To be sure that is the extent of my witnessing. I hadn't even thought it was of a concern until Cage informed us in the hall that he was confining everyone to the Inn until this mystery can be solved.
Back to Cage.
Well then, Companions? Shall we let these witnesses go? Then bring in the other accused one at a time?
Startled from his day dreaming, Endar clears his throat and attempts an official sounding voice, "Ahem...yes..that is a good idea Sheriff, we should bring in the other accused. However, won't they be a bit put off to see us running the investigation?"
Cage once again.
Yes they might be, but you lot seem to have solid heads about you. More over if they get very upset at you aiding my investigation then they very likely have something to hide. Who do you wish to see first? Or would you rather leave the room and conduct this investigation yourselves while I watch the accused? It could do well for you when the dagger is found.
Zou brushes off the obvious threat and decides to drop the halflings ego a bit.
"Well my good little man, If you lost the blade then it can no longer be yours. Anyone that can't hold on to their possesions has no right to keep them."
"Sheriff, it might be good for you to see their reactions first hand. Let's bring in the gnome for questioning first." Endar looks to his companions to see if they agree.
Thank you Endar, thats a great suggestion. She smiles at the young wizard but drops her voice before the gnome enters. I dunno, Grelm seems like the kind to just attack someone, or slit their throat. Doubt he'd stick around after, either.
Zou the halfling grins a very feral smile at you. There is hate in his eyes as he turns back to his companions.
"Agreed, let us hear what they say." The elf finds a chair to lean back in.
"Breakfast would be welcome as well," he says with a smile then looks helplessly toward Sara.
The Sheriff leaves for a second then ushers in a gnome.
Presenting Lorkay Ganderhoddle. Go ahead deputies as him your questions, as you requested.
Lorkhay has stout leather gloves tucked in his belt, there are white and yellowish stains on the cuffs creamy colored cuffs. The pair seems out of place considering the finery of his mother of pearl jewelry and turquoise shirt and pants, trimmed in vivid dark blue. His small goatee is dyed black while his neatly combed hair is stark white. He nods at those seated and takes a chair.
What is the meaning of this? Am I to be brought to the back room to be murdered in the name of justice?
"Why would anyone want to murder you? Where were you last night? Why don't you save us all the hassle and just confess to taking the dagger? Again, Endar does his best to convince the gnome using diplomacy.
Lorkay Ganderhoddle speaks in a even although light tone.
To be sure ser I hope no one wants to murder me. You seem like a noble enough lad, and of high birth I'd wager. So you will know me for a liar or a cheat right away. Seeing that I am of low birth. I say that I did not take the sword or dagger, what ever blade was taken. Nor have I know such blade existed until this morning when I was restricted to the Inn by Sheriff Cage.
thumbing his gloves tight
Who here has born witness against me?
