Prior to leaving, Kragen presents each member of "The Company" with a personally engraved leather ankle bracelet. Located in the ankle bracelet is a small hidden pouch which holds a Diamond (300gp).
"Wear this on your left ankle, tucked under your boot or trousers. If you have fallen in battle, i will use this Diamond and Tyr's power to bring you back from the gates of Valhalla." Smiles warmly as he hands you your bracelet with 300gp Diamond in it.
Search in inventory "Anklet of Kragen" . Also add a 300gp Diamond to it or your inventory and i will remove from my inventory.
What is your relationship to House Ravenshield? I am a butler for them.
Why were you impersonating a drow? Alamnal needed me to help him take care of things while he is away.
Why did you have Handers chained and blocked in for a slow death? That terrible person was impersonating Lord Handers.
What was the reason you were manipulating Earl Grammal? What did you have to gain? I don’t manipulate nobody. Definitely not Lord Grammal. Alamnal told me what to say in different situations to help him help Lord Grammal.
Why was Trolkarl accused or implicated in Handers murder? Because he killed him. Alamnal says so.
Garrod fails his save and gives you the finger, saying “You have no authority here. Alamnal will gut you just like your dwarfy pal.”
During the ride Starker And Cyrus go over to Gneuman and Ajax.
Starker:”Gentlebeings, I had an idea: Would if be possible for Ajax to carry Cyrus Magnus and fly with him? If so, then I could commune with Cyrus and give The Company a scouting report in real time. Perhaps, and with all due regards to Ajax’s dignity, a light weight saddle could be rigged?”
Starker to Kragan: ”This is far, far too generous. You must allow me to reimburse you for the expense of the gem.”
Offers Kragen a purse of 30 platinum pieces.
Shaking is head profusely,. "No need, i have been keeping these components as we have accumulated them as "Company" treasure. rightfully this belongs to you. I have been the custodian until i was able to act on the suggestions of the group."
Starker:”That is very good of you … I have had no friends since that day at the Academy when Guelphina died. It has been a lonely life until Xagyg and kind fate led me to cross paths with you and your colleagues … I know I can be a difficult companion … This means a lot to me. I hope I can merit such kindness. I will try.”

Garrod fails his save and gives you the finger, saying “You have no authority here. Alamnal will gut you just like your dwarfy pal.”
Kragen follows on with additional questions for Brunel during the interrogation.
Why would you even consider impersonating him while he is gone and perpetrate this ruse to your Liege Lord? Do you have no loyalty to your Earl??
What "conditions" or things needed to be "cared for" or taken care of that your Earl was not able to administrate?
What "terrible person" was impersonating Lord Handers? Name them?
Why would you think someone was impersonating Lord Handers? Do you actively see them in disguise??
By your answers, it appears you have no trust in Lord Grammal. Why??
Did you see Master Trolkarl kill Lord Handers? If you thought him deceased, why imprison him? Whom do you think you imprisoned?
To Garrod "i assure you, your allegiance to Alamnal and his abilities are misplaced. That will be to your dome!"
Leaves Garrod incarcerated and communicates to House Guard the only one allowed to see him is Inquisitor Dimitris.
Starker:”That is very good of you … I have had no friends since that day at the Academy when Guelphina died. It has been a lonely life until Xagyg and kind fate led me to cross paths with you and your colleagues … I know I can be a difficult companion … This means a lot to me. I hope I can merit such kindness. I will try.”
"Mage Starker, you have proven yourself true of heart and an asset to "The Company". Moreso, although we often do not see situations with the same lense and values. Your actions convey a degree of empathy and virtue that your words obfuscate. Therefore, i am glad to have you as a compatriot and friend!" Smiles and gives him a hearty slap on his left shoulder.

Kragen asks many questions to Brunel. He becomes emotionally upset as the questions continue with blubbering answers of "I don't know...", "Why are you doing this to me...", "I did what was told to do....Isn't that what I am supposed to do" being repeated again and again. All are true statements according to the spell.

Garrod ignores you.
Observing that Brunel's emotional state, Kragen leaves him to contemplate in silent captivity.
"You know that the things you did were wrong, yet you did not question and continued to follow someone you had no allegiance too!", "Lord Grammal and Lord Handers will see to you judged when House matters are addressed." leaves him with that final thought.
Same message to the House Guards, only Inquisitor Dimitris is allowed to interrogate Brunel.
Let’s have someone stealthy (and/or invisible if the spell slot can be justified, or if Ajax is the scout) scout the perimeter of the clearing from within the tree line before we choose a direction of approach. If a party member is invisible, they should stay invisible until the hour spell duration ends or excrement impinges or the air impeller (to provide some element of surprise even when the remainder of the party is seen).
Starker:”Perhaps an invisible Trokarl would be a good choice as scout given his familiarity with the location and the dramatis personae? And possibly Gneuman to accompany, with Ajax serving as communication intermediary between the scouts and the rest of us? It is true that that would cost us the opportunity for one fireball or lightning bolt, but imagine how disconcerting it would be to become suddenly aware that Trokarl and Gneuman were behind you and angry as the rest of The Company are charging towards you with fell aspects of wild glee.
”But not me … I don’t charge … except with lightning bolts, that is.”
<starts to giggle, looking from face to face in anticipation of appreciation for the pun.>
"Can anyone cast an illusion so it would look like The Company, or at least a few members, were advancing? Could provide a diversion and get them to waste some spells."

Only half of you are in the maps:
Hunting Lodge exterior
Hunting Lodge
Observing that Brunel's emotional state, Kragen leaves him to contemplate in silent captivity.

Same message to the House Guards, only Inquisitor Dimitris is allowed to interrogate Brunel.
Except, Alamnal is a fixture at the House. Following him IS following the House…
That will change here shortly!!
The journey to the hunting lodge is a long day’s trip. You can make it to the area by the end of the day,
Describe your approach. The sun is setting and the shadows are long. Trees have been cleared from around the lodge to create a clearing in the woods.
Let’s have someone stealthy (and/or invisible if the spell slot can be justified, or if Ajax is the scout) scout the perimeter of the clearing from within the tree line before we choose a direction of approach. If a party member is invisible, they should stay invisible until the hour spell duration ends or excrement impinges or the air impeller (to provide some element of surprise even when the remainder of the party is seen).
How high is the roof of the lodge?.
25’ high with battlements

Are there any exterior windows on the lodge? If so, can they be marked?
Concur with recon efforts. Kragen nods at the suggestions given
