Brallenera, despite the cover the wall provides, lands a hit against the hellknight, who passes out from his injuries.
Shardra searches the hellknight and casts detect magic and scans the area.
She then walks to the cells and peeks in.
”Who are you people and why are you imprisoned to be forgotten?!“ she asks.
Shardra finds a keyring on him, a vial and a flask.
Shardra tries to identify the vial and flask.
She samples the vial, and turns a sour face, spitting out the few drops in her mouth. It's an oil, one of...of....
Bless weapon.
She likewise tastes a drop of the flask, which tastes like bad medicine. She recognizes this as a restorative. Good for the health, but awful in taste.
CSW.
Sharda gives the flask and oil to whoever needs it.
She asks the group to gather away from the hellknight and channels to heal.
Shardra nods and uses the wand to restore the Elven mage.
She waits for an answer from the inmates.
1: "Long time prisoners."
2: "And good riddance to that hound loving filth. You killed him, right?"
The hellknight doesn't look too pale from bloodloss, but Gru'Gar isn't too sure.
Turning the man onto his back, Gru'Gar holds an ear over the man's mouth, and feels faint breathing reach his ear.

"Nope, not dead yet!"
Having some knowledge of battlefield wounds, Gru'Gar tries to stop the flow of blood.
looking at the others "This one could give us answers."
Though still sorely tempted to rectify Gru'Gar's first observation, Nemesis responds to his second.
"If we're going to do that, let's make certain he gives us the right ones...."
The team sits the hellknight up against a wall, tied up firmly with whatever means.
Brallenera gently wakes him up for questioning....
"Huh....hmmm, what?"
”Let us search this place properly! Maybe his key helps ... “ Shardra says.
Zarta is not here?!
Shardra inspects every cell, three are occupied, albeit one by a skeleton in tattered rags. The others by a man and a woman.
Upon Nemesis' request, Shardra opens the cell, but the skeleton did not have anything on it.
"Awww.. Why did you attacked us? Was it on your own initiative or did the paper we gave you carried an order?
"I'm not talking to you. You have no authority here, i will only talk with my superiors."

Awww...Do you really want me to cut your legs so I'm of higher standing than you?
Brallenera seems deadly serious, for once. And she really, really get into the man's face, the blade of her big axe already biting the flesh of his thigh.
A trickle of blood appears. Nothing dangerous yet, but if the blonde barbarian applies some pressure on her weapon...
"Do it, do it, do it!"
*rattling of metal cup against bars*
The hellknight stares back equally cold.
"My name is Ganden Heriphis, maralictor of the cells.
I answer only to my commanding officers, for any of my actions. As per regulation, i request to be taken to them as of right now."

Mylvwara casts detect magic, taking in both the missive from the commander and the hellknight.
Then she activates the detect evil function of her wayfinder.
shining wayfinder
"What is the name of your commanding officer? What command do you see written here?"
After he replies with his commander's name, Mivvy holds up the affidavit; the light of her shining wayfinder illuminates the object.
Sure enough the maralictor pings as a not so kind natured individual, then again, more of that sort are among the hellknight orders.
"My commander is Lictor Severs DiViri. And i see the same words you see on it. That is all i have to say."
The detect magic doesn't reveal anything secret.
The maralictor's desk is surprisingly without secrets, as far as Gru'Gar can tell, as he looked above and below.
A few old papers and some writing supplies.
*Hellkight glances upon party in defiance*

”Okay, let’s be thorough!”
Mylvwara begins searching the open area and any unoccupied cells or spaces, including looking at the desk again and searching the captive.
She also casts detect magic repeatedly until she has covered the entire area. If she gets a result she will concentrate for three rounds.
Shardra also starts to search the place.
With the key chain in hand, Mylvwara unlocks the cells one by one.
The woman is still tied to a painful looking bunk, weary eyes.
"Please....get me out of here. I've been falsely accused of smuggling and got sent down here."
@ Brallenera,
"I was captured 5 years ago in Korvosa while helping a friend identify a strange puzzle box."
"I was the victim of the Hellknights’ ruthless iron rule of law and unjustly convicted of crimes i never committed."
(sighs)
"I used to be a pathfinder agent. Please, get me out of here, and i would reconsider my retirement from it."
Mylvwara even finds a key, a small key, that the hellknight stashed somewhere on his person, cleverly hidden.
Checking all doors, it unlocks one.
It seems a private quarters, with a bed, bookcase and small supplies.
The bookcase seems to be covering something.....?

"So you were just helping a friend identify a strange puzzle box. And the big question should you have had that box in the first place? Getting caught is some of the risks we..I mean you have to take."
"Oh, hello what do we have here, Hold on Mylvwara there could be traps, let me take a look first."
Gru'Gar take a look at the bookcase for traps
Once that is done he takes his time looking over the office
Gru'Gar finds no traps, and with combined effort, the team moves the book case aside.
In an alcove, you find a small chest and an onyx figurine of some doglike creature.
