Margret was tired so she looked for a corner not covered with bird crap laying her greatsword aside she sat down more than happy to just watch Reel'yn and the Redbrand and rest
The Redbrand looks carefully at each of you before his eyes return to you Ree‘lyn: „My name is Treth, i am from a small village near Mount Hotenow, Oakhurst.“
That beloved opening. The opening that would take Ree'lyn straight to the man's heart. Building trust; approaching carefully; showing him he has found someone he can trust. Who will listen to him. Like a fruit slowly getting its nutrients. Then, he would be ready for the harvest. The Drow smiled. A warning wicked smile. - "Well met, Teeth, from Oakhurst. I take it that life in Oakhurst must not be easy. Did you walk a long way to try and make a living out of there? For your family? Siblings? A child, perhaps?"
"Because, Treth, from Oakhurst, you seem like someone who has strong bonds to care for. And that is very good. I just want you to see that your concerns will be better attended by those who stand here before you now. And you can work for us." - Ree'lyn's eyes lock into Treth's; his words carrying the proper weight of the bargain at hand. - "Work for us, Treth. You and your family will be protected in a new life. We will give you that. You will give your services in return." - allowing the man to weigh in on his words, Ree'lyn pauses. - "Tell us what you know about the Black Spider. Tell us what you know about the Glasstaff. Tell us why are they here? What do they want in this city? Is it because of the mine? The ancient legendary mine."
Treth gives you a sarcastic grunt at you mentioning his family. „If you want to care for my family, then you are half a year to late. My mother died last winter..“
"May your dear mother have gone in peace. Just like I am sure you want others you care for, or may care for, to live a life of peace until departing, right?"
The thug looks at you for a moment, trying to make up his mind...
"No one ever cared for me or my family. But now they are all gone, so why should I care about others? There is only one person looking after me, and that is me. Why should I care about others?"
"You said so yourself, Treth. People who did not care about you were doing the worst possible choice. But do you want to make the same choice? You may do so. However, others who are now in the same position as you once were might need you to be better for them than others have been to you. If what those others did wrong to you, is not that enough reason to act differently to the ones in need now? You will be in a better position among us than you have ever been in your life. Work for us."
“Earlier today we were fighting each other and you would trust me to work for you?“ , Treth shakes his head in disbelieve , „Somehow i don‘t believe that. But i make you another offer, just let me go and i won‘t return. I heard rumors, that Neverwinter is also resetling Leilon. Maybe i will go there.“
Kai eyes Treth before kneeling beside him. "You see that goblin yes? Only a day or so ago, we were fighting him an his kind. Does he seem in any I'll will? We work WITH him. And we are better for it. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blund Treth. We can learn to trust in you if you trust in us." She holds out the last berry in the palm of her hand as an offering, making it able for him to take it if he wants.

Zurzg trots over to Treth at mention of his name, and eyes the Redbrand up and down. "Zurzg's goblin tribe cut down by these, or ran away, Zurzg's boss next to be chopped on block, so Zurzg pick winning side. Zurzg not trust tall-folk, but these gave Zurzg's weapons back, and bacon, so Zurzg have understanding that goblin not stab tall-folk, and tall-folk not stab goblin."
At this, he coughs slightly, and wipes away a small feather from the corner of his mouth, the chirping of baby swallows notably absent.
The absence of chirpin chicks is what wakes Margret up in time to listen to what her friends have to say looking around she realizes damn he ate all of them well hopefully the parents will make more.
suprised that her companions want to recruit the man she shrugs
"If you have the skills of a rogue we would be happy to have you with us the same otherwise"
„Look i told you what i know. I told you about the secret door to the real base, i told you about the undead who are guarding 5he prisoners, i told you about the eyemonster and the bugbears, did i mention the makeshift kennel on the ground level of the Mansion? There should be 3 more wolfhounds and 4 pubs. And you know about the guy, Black Spider, who send the bugbears to help Glasstaff. You can sweat talk as much as you want, but i wont be suicidal enough to storm that base with you. If you want to put me in Jail, put me in Jail. If you let me run, let me run and i will never return. Up to you...“
"Thank you for your services, Treth." - Ree'lyn says smoothly unsheathing his dagger and burying it under the man's jaw. - "We can't run the risk of having our infiltration jeopardized by anyone."
A subtle motion cleans off the blood of his clothes of the unfazed drow. - "Lady Margret, we need all the resources we can muster to protect our weakened spots while we move. Moss will be more useful as a guardian while we enter the secret passage to the mansion. We have to explore the sites he mentioned. Besides, we got one more living thug in jail. One is enough, right?"
"Your concern is understandable." - the Drow warlock offers. - "I must think on the details of this creature. It does not sound like a beholder. What other one eyed creatures do we know? A nothic? A cyclops? "- then changing to thenext topic. - "We have to scout and decide which way is best." - looking at lady Margret, the look on his face is that of someone carefully considering the options at hand. - "The secret door to the real base seems like what we should aim for, to strike true and hard on the enemies. Going to the mansion would be good just in case we could not be seen at all, and gather some pieces of information." - then finally weighing in on this topic. - "That last option would need magic resources and we might not add anything at all to what we already have. Or some clue to that."

"Okay?" was the word whispered under Margret's breath being too surprised to react to what Reel'yn just did
Said in Elvish
"You know, I thought I was being dark. We could of kept him in Moss's care till we got back....."

"I'm sorry to criticize, but you're right."
Not wanting another argument cause she almost killed the Redbrand herself more than once.
"So when do we go and have fun, Storming the castle? And what do you think this weirded eye creature is?"
ooc: Yeah I forgot to write it down
