Martha turns to the matron of wolfs, “As I said, we’re not killing you, yet. Maybe if you actually told us what you’re doing and who you are, then we might warm up to you.”
Zukeila and Kiril were mates. She explains that Kiril kidnapped and forced children to fight to the death amongst themselves - the winner would be bitten and become a werewolf as a reward, and a way to grow the clan. Zukeila disapproved of this method, preferring to having more of a motherly love and training to foster trust. They fought about the subject constantly, and was punished to never be able to leave the den. Now that Kiril is dead, she is the new packleader. She wishes to take the children and begin a new life - but they are loyal to Strahd.
And no, no one outside knows what's going on inside.
“And what does that loyalty entail. Am I going to find a knife in my back if I let you leave? And they children, what about their families? Did Kiril see to their end as well?””
"The children have no families. Only me, now. After seeing what you did to my clanmates, I don't plan on doing anything but leaving with the children. Or did you kill them, too?" She says.
”I would never allow them harm. You still haven’t answered my question. I understand loyalty. If mercy is granted, what will your loyalty require you to do?”

"We control the werewolves of Strahd. We answer to him. He lets us live. But you are the enemy. But I don't care about you. I care about the children. Let me go, and we will never bother you again. He may kill us for running away, that's for sure, but I dont want harm to the children. It's a chance I will take."
Martha bends down and whispers into her ear,“Ok good, that works for me. Really sorry about having to be rough with you, but I don’t want my cat friend thinking she can kill you. Don’t need anymore bloodshed today. We just need to get the children out here and once they pick for themselves, you’ll be free to go. Also, if we were to say, kill Strahd... then you’d just be a peaceful kind of people? Yay or nay?”

"We would be free of our curse, yes, and live here peacefully. But the children are innocent. Just let us go so we can run away. You are of no interest to us anymore."
“Great. I fully intend to let you go. Just need to figure out a way to get you past the death kitty, cause she’s... passionate.” Martha pauses, “Wait. You said ‘our.’ Are the children... um... cursed as well?”
For a moment Briella is afraid she is going to fall, she catches herself, taking a quick second to breath trying to steady herself from this overwhelming pressure she feels. Then the screaming starts. It is chaos as she looks around at the children running about.
"Children, please-" She cries out, only to be stopped from the sound of a grunt as Odmun hits the floor. She turns to see him on the floor only to be grabbed and turned again this time looking into the eyes of- "Strahd." She whispers taking in the man in front of her, she can see his mouth moving, but can't hear him over the sound of the children screaming and her own blood pumping through her ears. For a moment she feels fear, caught off guard, alone in this cave with only a possibly hurt Odmun and the children. But as she comes back to reality, she focuses on his words. Congratulations on beating the werewolves, a promise of power, betray her allies, Varis was weak-.
Varis.
At the mention of his name Briella freezes. Her hands clench up into fist and her body starts to shake.
"How dare you.HOW ******* DARE YOU." She screams, her voice echoing off the cave walls"What in the name of the Nine Hells gives you the right to call him weak?! You don't even have the right to say his name!"
She attempts to break free of his grip.
"Since you know so much tell me this Strahd, were you the one behind that trick in the village with the picture? Were you the one playing with my mind?!" She growls at him, bearing her teeth.
OOC:Do I need to roll to break free of his grasp? Is he grappling me or just like lightly holding on to me?
(Also OOC: Why does every elf I make attract deadly supernatural creatures? First my drow, now Briella.)

That was so great Briella i'm going to think of Strahds reply as I drive home, and honor you with a worthy verbal parlay =P
And no you don't have to roll to break free. This scene is more narrative.
