"Ha, boss it says. That sorry bastard weren't our boss, trust me, if you lot met our boss you wouldn't be standing here. But go ahead do your worst, I'm no stranger to shackles and sharp blades."
OOC: Yeah, Byg’wigg’ll just kill him if we can’t intimidate him haha. Not wasting a spellslot on this guy! And JC won’t be torturing no body haha
“No no. Be going through mouth! He no have teeth! He showeded us! Oh wait no! Byg’wigg have even better idea! Throwing him off the edges! Lotses of stars. Wonder how he handle.” Byg’wigg gets close, “Maybe he not even die. Just fall and fall forevers...”
Scamp does an impossible-for-any-other-animal maneuver to scratch his own rump with his teeth, still up the guys leg. Scratching is always more important than anything else going on.
OOC: Okay depending on if the other two don't object to torture. I'll have Lari make some Intimidation rolls and see if you all can get the cultist to talk.
Ivellios will speak up being the voice of reason. "Surely there is no need for this, you know whoever you work for has abandoned you. Tell us what we want an to know."

Felix Windfall (Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA,Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiA
OOC: I don't think this guy is going to be easily intimidated. I'm going to good cop and try a different tack, maybe a little deception. Sorry if this doesn't work!
After keeping his distance, pacing in the background while Lari, Ivellios and Byg'Wigg try getting information from the cultist, Quintoc steps in. "Back off, you guys," he says. "Don't you see that he obviously knows nothing. He is no one important. And he's scared. Poor fellow." He turns to the cultist. "Look here, my friend, I'm sorry that my friends here are so...enthusiastic. They figured you might know something useful. But it's obvious you don't. You haven't been given that honour. Yet. There is so much you still don't understand. We work for your master, too, and have been sent to set things right, to correct the mistakes of these other insolent, so-called 'followers.' But, the master is testing us at the same time and didn't give us all the information we need. So we are looking for true believers to help us. If you want to do right by your master, it is best that you do."
You don't seem to be lying but he is very confused now. He turns his head to the side and is no longer looking at you all as he begins muttering to himself.
"That don't make no sense. She's the one who told us to come down here, she's the one who assigned us to Aseir. Is it a test? Does Orinia wish to test my loyalty to the Winged One? Why would they be allowed to be dressed like that though, they don't look like the others. Were are their robes? Their wings? And why attack Aseir? She's Orinia's favorite. The only one to get anything close to love from that woman." He begins to whisper nonsensical things.
"Woman are fickle," Quintoc says. "Who can know their minds? Certainly you don't claim to? If you want to serve one as great and powerful as Orinia, you must ready and able to change with her, like a sail in changing winds. Aesir must have done something to displease her. The tides have changed. Which side are you on?"
"But killing us in the middle of a ritual,when everything is so delicate. She's the one who order this, the one who planned everything done to the smallest detail. No, Orinia wouldn't risk the wrath of the Winged One if this failed. This is too important, what we were doing was all too important. The summoning, the sacrifice. I know because Aries wouldn't shut up about it. I don't believe you. If you truly are what you say then you'll finish the summoning and kill that creature." His head jerks over to were Aries is resting against the pillar, who has been quietly watching the event unfold, a grim look set on his face.

Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiA[If Quintoc gives either Ivellios or Lari a aid action could we get advantage?]
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiAOOC: Yes for whoever he wants to help.
OOC: Did Byg’wigg not assist Lari with his threats?

OOC: I figured Byg'wygg was trying to do his own thing. If he is helping then yes Lari can roll with advantage.

OOC: Oh sure. Wasn’t sure as you only asked Lari. Byg’wigg will roll: 4 Though Quintoc just might’ve done it?

OOC: Hmm this is an interesting development. So you are trying to convince him that your guys are a part of his group?

OOC: confused is good. I'll try to recall lore about "Orinia." Religion check 8
Quintoc you don't know anything about a religious figure named Orinia. Make an Intelligence check instead.
"Woman are fickle," Quintoc says. "Who can know their minds? Certainly you don't claim to? If you want to serve one as great and powerful as Orinia, you must ready and able to change with her, like a sail in changing winds. Aesir must have done something to displease her.
