Once Eddarly is bound, Respar steps away for a minute or so, reappearing with Mrs. Mott, bound and gagged. He holds a dagger to the beautiful woman's throat and waits for Kiven to start asking Eddarly questions.
Eddarly allows himself to be stripped of his remaining dagger and bound. He snarls almost like a wild animal as Kaitlynn is brought out. "What do you want you bastards?"
"Oh dear Captain, what to do, what to do. Let's make a deal. Why don't you tell us what we need to know about the keep, or my friend here will carve up her pretty face...slowly. Let's start with any passwords, shall we?"

While the interrogation is underway, Blau uncaps a small vial marked "Heal' and pours it's contents over the wound left by the Captain's attack. The liquid sizzles a bit on his stony flesh and the wound starts to rapidly close. Watching the subdued human break, Blau then waits for the session to finish, eager to deal with the next obstacle to Asmodeus's plans.

“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?" "Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied ― Barbara Hambly, The Witches of Wenshar
Selena grins as she watches the exchange. She reaches out mentally to Poe to ensure that they won't be interrupted. " It is going well Poe. He is already cracking under the pressure. Just keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. "
Poe responds in the same manner. " Yes, my mistress. Humans are so predictable. Amazing that they are not extinct yet. We need pawns to use though I suppose. "
Eddarly's interrogation is quick and brutal, while Respar continues to threaten his love, the captain answers questions in hope of sparing at least her life.
But Blau quickly suspects that he's holding something back. Blau states as much, firmly, "Not the brightest human, are you, Captain. But then most Mitran followers lack something in that department. You're not telling us something so VERY important. What is it? A hand signal? A special sneeze? Farting in code?"
Eddarly grimaces, "Southern storm, we're supposed to work Southern Storm Into the conversation if we think there's a spy or an intruder of some sort. The officers know to go get the Sentinels from the Chapel to help check it out if they hear that"
Turning to the others, Blau says "That was the bit he was trying to hide. We need to put these two aside for later discussions. They may still have a use, but they need to be out of the way and unable to make trouble. Unconscious and restrained in the back woods, perhaps? If wild animals take them, they can blame Mitra."
Selena objects, "We take the chance on them getting loose or found? We can't afford to take that chance. It could jeopardize this entire mission."
Respar nods at Selena's words. "We might be able to make sure Mrs. Mott doesn't get loose, but Eddarly is too dangerous. And once we finish off Captain Mott, I think she will also be dispensable."
Blau sighs "a waste of potential, at the very least but we dont have time. Preserve mrs Mott then. That at least will make the captain happy in his afterlife. A rope expert I'm not."
Selena walks rapidly to Captain Eddarly. Placing her dagger against his neck she smiles. "Goodbye Captain. Maybe we will meet again soon." She draws the dagger rapidly across his neck slicing him open. Mrs. Mott screams through her gag, crying hysterically.
Selena walks casually away cleaning her blade in the grass. Blau, for his part draws a ruby hilted dagger and opens another vein, catching the blood in a skull top he pulls from somewhere. The priest begins an obeisance rite as the body of the captain is disposed of, and Mrs. Mott is tied hand and foot to a tree. She'll likely survive out here for a few days, but she won't be getting loose without help.
Blau finishes his ritual and waits for the next victim in their scheme, a bit impatient as the day passes. "We need to eliminate the priest soon, so he doesn't help the ill, but we can't do that until the other Captain and the birds are dealt with. How long until Respar gets back with the other? When do we dispatch the little ice creature to deal with the aviary?"
“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?" "Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied ― Barbara Hambly, The Witches of Wenshar
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Selena walks over to Mrs Mott and studies her for a moment or two. Using her bracelet she transforms into the mirror image of Mrs Mott. " Now it is time to visit your husband. He will be coming to see you very soon. " She winks and strides away sensually towards the town. She instructs Poe to fimd Captain Mott and inform her of his location. Once she determines this she will rush to find her husband. Her face will be cloaked in terror as she says, " Please come with me at once. It is of the utmost urgency. It is not my fault Just remember that. " She will attempt to lead him to the grove where her friends await.
Poe informs Selena that the captain is at the fort. When she arrives there, she is denied entry. The guard states, "Sorry Ma'am, but there's a bit of a situation and we've been told not to let anyone in. The captain is busy right now."
Mrs Mott frowns at this. " This is an emergency. I need to see my husband. He couldn't have meant his own wife when he said this. Think how angry he will be when he hears of this. "
She speaks to Poe via their link. " Can you fly around the fort and find out what is going on? Let me know what you find as soon as possible. "
The guard frowns, "The orders come from Lord Thomas, not the captain, I'm sorry miss. I can take a message to him, but I suspect that it will be a while before he can get away."
Poe is unable to see much of interest from outside the keep.
Mrs Mott summons up some tears and walks away shakily. She informs Poe of what all she has heard and tells him to pass it along to her associates. Walking slowly she will make her way back towards her friends.
Poe swoops down right in front of the others. He smirks as he does enjoy a dramatic entrance. " I have unfortunate news from my mistress. She was stopped from entering the keep upon Lord Thomas' orders. No one is allowed inside. There is some kind of situation going on. She is making her way back at a slow pace. "
Upon hearing this, Blau shakes his head. "That changes things for sure. Perhaps we should take care of the birds and take down the father, and wait until the morning of the assault."

Poe hops about excitedly for a moment. " I can go look for this Father...see if he is in the keep or not. We get him and the birds taken care of. That will cut them off from any aid. With us working from the inside they do not stand a chance. "
Respar says, "Let's take care of the priest while we have a chance. But hold off on the birds. If they haven't completely raised the alarm, we might still be able to catch a few more unaware. After the priest, unless things are crazy, I will enter the keep as Eddarly and learn what I can."
The group accompanies Blau to the small herbalist shack on the edge of town that he'd been using as part of his guise as a wandering healer. Shortly afterwards, there is a knock on the door, as the gregarious priest arrives for tea and the customary discussion among supposed peers.
Poe reports that a couple guards from the keep have arrived in town and seem to be searching for something.
Father Fauxcour calls out "Just a minute!" as he favours his companions weapons with a blessing from Asmodeus, at where they are hiding in the back of the shack, ready. He then makes sure his disguise in place and opens the door, inviting his 'friend' inside for their regular skull session. "So, what do we talk about today, my friend?"

"He's smart, too. What a pity indeed."

Captain Eddarly struggles for a moment, his eyes locked on Kaitlynn's. For her part, she's white with terror.
The captain's shoulder's slump, and he mutters out, "We don't use passwords day to day, we know each other too well to need anything of the sort."
While the interrogation is underway, Blau uncaps a small vial marked "Heal' and pours it's contents over the wound left by the Captain's attack.
