Marta decides to just wait in the cafeteria and brainstorm likely questions they can ask Korda, mostly for show to convince the Warden they are earnest.
The warden returns as the three absolution Councillors emerge from the hallway to their quarters, their luggage packed and with them.
"She's clearly unrepentant," the silver dragonborn says, continuing an ongoing conversation. "She'll not be seeing Unthalass any time soon."
"I do not disagree with you," the human councillor says. "But the potential for cruelty should still be considered. If I was sentenced to life here I would have to endure, maybe another forty years. She may have to endure for ten to fifteen times that length."
The third, the halfling, stays quiet through all this and merely takes a seat at one of the tables.
The Warden approaches the group and says "the ice skiff will be here in about an hour."
The halfling appears to be the only one to hear her. She acknowledges the Warden with a smile.
The warden then comes over to Marta/Marrin and the others.
"So, we still have no word on how many are actually with Lord Hargrove, but we have been informed their party is on the skiff." the warden says. She thinks for a moment then continues. "Korda is just about to get her exercise time but you can still speak to her after that and before the skiff arrives."
Team Guard needs to wrap up their conversation with Ishar and get her back to her cell and retrieve Korda. There's still time to ask any follow up questions on the way back to the cell though (if you have any).
(Sorry, I would like to continue to talk to this elf. Krell was that orc we killed in the undead ship then? when we got the box?)
HIstory: 18!
"I suppose not? What's the Order of Osiris?" Ava's curiosity is definitely peaked but is nervous about breaking their cover and also is starting to feel way out of her depth. She wasn't the one to figure out information and she glances back at Jan hoping she hears this and motions that she can add to this if she wants to.
Avaria also clues into what Jan got an inkling of. Krell was the orc priest, cleric, lunatic on the ship of the dead with the silver black case, the case currently hidden in a ring.
"You haven't traveled too much in the south, have you?" Ishar says to Avaria as they make their way back to her cell. "They're nothing more than a weird cult centered in Unthalass. They want to revive the rule of a god-king in Unther. They've some ridiculous idea that their god will always raise them from the dead as long as they follow him. Some sort of immortal cult army."
"Never. Their exercise time and their work duties are the only times they're not in there cells." The Warden says. "They take as long as they can."
She looks at the Marta and the rest of the group.
"So your hypothesis is that Lord Hargrove is looking for something that was amongst whatever Korda stole from your clan?" the Warden aks. "That seems like something we can sort out once he's here, especially as you're here and can explain your pre-existing claim."
"Immortal cult army sounds highly unpleasant. You say this Krell framed you for the murder of the Abantons for humiliating him? And that he did the murder? I think the last time someone humiliated me, I just un-staked their tent at night, killing a family and framing you for it, I think you must admit sounds like a severe overreaction."
((The tone Jan is going for is 'encouraging skepticism'.))

Ishar's demeanour changes a little at Jan's questions. Even if she was really framed for murder, Jan gets the impression that she's likely done other things that could have at least got her sent to this prison for a short stay.
"Oh, I think they were getting killed no matter what I had done," Ishar says. "I just happened to be on Krell's mind at the time."
The guard group finds themselves back in the panopticon and outside Ishar's cell.
"Stand clear," the apmplified voice from the surveillance room says.
The shimmer of energy can be seen again and the door swings open.
Ishar walks inside.

Marta nods to the Warden and asks,
"Exercise time? Do you mean when they are taken outside?"
Marta gives a (pretend) involuntary shiver,
"Do any decline that option this time of year?"
The Warden shakes her head to Marta.
"Never. Their exercise time and their work duties are the only times they're not in there cells." The Warden says. "They take as long as they can."
