Derika looks around to asses the situation and see if there is any way to get in that would be better, easier, or for anything that will help them get through this in a more timely manner.

Vishanti studies the barricade. "The will be expecting us to enter here."
Abigail simply goes up and knocks at the barricaded door.
Hello in there. she yells.
I am Abigail Merosa, Healer of the White Hand. Several of you friends were wounded. I cared for them and they are resting comfortably back in town while they recover from their injuries. However there is a matter that requires your attention. So If you wouldn't mind, can you open this door so that these matters can be discussed?
As she is speaking there is a minor shimmer of divine light about her, adding to her voice.
A bandit appears on the roof of the watchtower. "Aye, and what would that be?"
Abigail looks up to the roof, This type of discussion is rather painful to the neck, perhaps you could come down here so we may talk face to face. but the matter at hand concerns some of your companions back at town.
"Well, I'm sorry, missy," the bandit says. "But seeing that we're a few men short and you know what happened to them, you'd best speak with Firean. I'll send her right down."
The bandit disappears from sight.
Abigail glances toward the group and smiles giving a "covert" thumbs up.
If or when the guy steps back, Telsyn casts Mage Armor on himself. If not, he'll do it anyway.
A few minutes later, the barricade is pulled away and red-haired half-elf stands at the door in form-fitting half-plate. Her hand never leaves her flail. You spy a couple of bandits behind her. "I am Firean and who are you?"
Orym casts Mage Armor on himself after Abigail gives the 'okay' signal, chanting softly and gesturing to complete the spell.
Effects: Mage Armor (3 hours)
Abigail nods to Greet Firean. I am Abigail Merosa, healer of the White Hand. I have come at the behest of several wounded men back in town, they insisted that you come to see them. So i have come to escort you back to town.
Vishanti remains silent during the exchange.

"If they're wounded and they're in Vinse, then they're prisoners," Firean says, eyeing the aasimar with healthy suspicion. "And I'm not going to fall for that trap. I won't be paying a ransom either."
She narrows her eyes for a moment. "But...perhaps we can come to an agreement?"
Miss Firean, If you have any knowledge of the organization i represent, you would know that we do not takes sides, my first and foremost concern is the ministering to the sick and wounded. I seek only the well being of those under my care, which your men now fall.
(but many parts are not bluffs)
Firean grins. "And, even if you weren't try to trick me, that wouldn't stop anyone else from trying to stick me in a jail cell. If you want to take responsibility for the men that you probably injured, then go ahead, by all means. If you want to help clear out this keep, then we can keep talking. And talking is the only thing we'll be doing right now, Miss Merosa."
Well, since she's smokin' hot, Telsyn will go GAGAGAGAGA. Actually, no. He'll let the charmers do the charming. Hey, Firean, what's your game girl, can anybody play?

Derikas mouth forms a thin line as she looks at the bandits, her eyebrows knit together in an angry line, but she keeps her damn mouth shut as she opens and closes her fist subconsciously.

She slides a glance over at Vishanti while giving the slightest shake of her head.

Just something about steel drums. All I see is snow. No need to apologize! Glad you're the good kind of busy. :)

Vishanti gives the slightest nod of agreement, the words of an attack spell dancing on her tongue.

Hoping to calm the situation before something bad happens, which it probably will anyway, Merosa switches gears.
Anyway, you mentioned something about an agreement. That seems to imply you want something out of me, so, tell me what that may be.
While they converse, Abigail is attempting to lure the bandit leader further away from the door (very subtlety.)

"If you want to clean up this keep, you can start with the goblins," Firean says. "I'll allow you and whomever you take with you to use our facilities. We can feed and shelter you, as well as staying out of your way."

Telsyn casts another spell. Message. Abigail and Derika can whisper messages to him that he can hear. He can whisper to them.
He doesn't care who sees him do it.
"That may be the best option." Vishanti says plainly.
"So do we have a deal?" Firean asks, looking over the group.
We do the dirty work? Then what? They stop being bandits? Telsyn whispers through the spell.
One thing at a time, I guess.
"Yes. We do." Vishanti says giving the woman a level look.
With a slight grimace she finally speaks up, "For now anyways. I was wanting to ask a couple questions myself.....if you have the time of course." She tries very hard to at least sound like she doesn't feel her blood boiling.

Thinking in her mind to answer Telsyn she says, For now its all we can do, I wanted to ask her questions about the military a#+!%**s that have been coming around here anyways. Let's just see where this goes for now.

"Fine, don't know how much I'll be able to answer," Firean says, moving back into the watch tower.
Vishanti can clearly see Derika's apprehension. Placing a supportive hand on her friend shoulder she thinks.
Just because we use snakes to hunt the rats, doesn't mean we let the snakes live when the work is done.
That's for damn sure. I hate this....I really do.
She follows the head bandit b+!*% back into the watchtower, "I was wondering if you knew anything about what they're doing in Aravel and how many you've seen come through here, just whatever you can tell me about the arrogant bastards really."

Firean's visage grows dark. "I haven't kept up with the military since I left. They were good for nothing but hurting innocent people."
