As there doesn't seem to be any way for the pesky minion to escape this time, Daryos tries to convince it to surrender itself. "We know you are under that bed, there is no way you will escape us this time, but unlike your friends you can still keep your life if you cooperate and answer some questions for us." The young white-haired noble says in a firm but polite tone, motioning for the others to be ready to catch the minion if he still tries to get away.
You head a small amount of shuffling under the bed before you hear a familiar giggle fill the room. The giggle is cut short by the sound of the creature coughing up blood. The faevlin does not emerge from under the bed and a few long tense moments pass before you hear a shrill voice whisper from under the bed...
As Daryos asks the creature again to come from the bed, Nesyax returns her hand crossbow and slips her longhorn from her back. Playing a brief melody, she casts Friends. She then asks in a kind voice, "We would really like to know what you can tell us about the Bone Collector. It would really help us." She glances at the decisioner, then adds, "And it be much easier to talk if you came out from the bed." (Persuasion: 20)
A few silent moments go by before you notice the bedsheets begin to move. A slow scraping sound can be heard as the face of a creature slides out from under the bed to reveal a grinning goblin shaped creature looking up at you. Blood is dripping from its mouth and other wounds it sustained during the small battle. Looking down at the creature, you almost assume it is sliding on its back before you realize that it is actually crawling out on its stomach and its head is still just upsidown. The faevlin clutches its wounds with one hand while holding its scimitar in the other.
"I don't know who this bone collector is that you speak of.... My brothers and I were just taking a stroll through the dark. We didn't attack you... you attacked us." The creature says with a sinister grin. "If you let me go... I'm sure I can ask around and help you to find him though..." The teal colored creature says with an eerie giggle...
Kitaer insight, though he's mostly watching for the thing to make a move, not trying to discern it's trustworthiness. He does not find it trustworthy... And the roll confirms he's not paying attention: 3

Vesna, keeping close to the door in the case a need for a swift exit arises, suppresses a shiver as the creature crawls out from under the bed. Yet, despite everything she can't help but feel an ounce of pity when it becomes clear that it has been wounded and bleeding. In any case, she doesn't interfere in the conversation, just listens quietly.

Nesyax finds the Faevlin's story hard to believe while Daryos and Vesna have no problem determining that the goblin-like creature is lying through its sharp blood covered teeth. Now that the creature is standing and has had a chance to survey the area... he sees that he is quite outnumbered. The creatures eyes seem to dart around the room as though looking for any possible escape.
While the faevlin looks around, each of you notice that the creature seems to be struggling a bit to clutch his wounds with his free hand. after a few moments, you notice that he is missing a few of the bones in his free hand, causing two of his fingers to sag like deflated blood covered balloons.
Those of you that had spoken with Leadbelly and seen his boneless arm would note that this goblin is missing bones from the same arm as the dwarf... but not nearly as many since Leadbelly's entire arm and had were left boneless.
"Listen, my name is Nesyax. What's yours?" Nesyax continues, trying to remain friendly. "I find it hard to believe you. We know you collect bones for this being. I see you're injured - if you help us then we can help you. I can provide healing. But we really need to know more about the Bone Collector and where to find him."(Presuming Friends is still in effect, Persuasion: 23)
Daryos takes a small step back, letting the quite charming blue-haired girl try to convince the pesky minion to cooperate with them while he focuses on making sure it won't excape. It seemed the Bone Collector even collected the bones of it's minions, something that likely not would strengthen loyalty.
The faevlin lowers its arm to reveal its partially carved in chest with bits of bone protruding through the creatures crimson stained skin... the damage caused by Vesna's blow with her mace.
"He'll kill me if he finds out..." The goblinoid says with a small giggle. He then takes a jagged thumb nail and runs it under his neck. "two hundred bones in my body... he will take them from me if I fail." He then holds his bloody hand out to show the few dangling boneless fingers on his free hand. "Used to have two hundred and six... if the bone collector finds out I talked... he'll take my jaw..." He then takes his bloody hand and moves it up above his head and gives his pointed jaw a small shake.
"Some bones he eats... some bones he collects... He loves to trade and make deals for bones... all kinds of bones.... Bones are like coins to a bone trader like him" He adds as looks around the room, glancing towards each of the party members. His eyes stop upon kitear and he gives his horns a longing gaze. "The collector would love your skull with those horns. I bet he would put it on a pedestal and everything..." He then looks towards Nesyax "I bet the bone collector would make you a pretty nice deal in exchange for your friends head... just something to think about... He is a powerful fey after all..."
"If you introduced us to the Bone Collector then maybe we could make a deal with him," Kitaer offers. "Imagine if you introduced us to him and we made him a deal he couldn't refuse. How could that not be good for you?"
"What would you offer the bone collector? I mean... I see a lot of bones in this room... But I assume you wish to keep them." The faevlin says with a giggle before coughing up a bit of blood..
"We have access to bones that would be difficult for you to get, I would think," Kitaer answers and then looks to the others in the party thinking one of them may be smarter and more persuasive on this idea, if they think it is a good one...

"Yes, if you just bring us to your master we will deal with him, and if you do that I can assure you that he will not take any more bones from your body."The young white-haired noble chimes in with a nod to the massive minotaur and then a frindly smile to the Faevlin.
Persuasion: 8 Another roll if help action is considered given: 16 + Guidance: 4
"What kind of creature is your master?" Vesna speaks a bit weakly as she imagines the bone collector chomping on bones. "I just don't understand the appeal of collecting bones of all things..." she mutters quietly to herself and in a bit of disbelief.

The faevlin does not emerge from under the bed and a few long tense moments pass before you hear a shrill voice whisper from under the bed...
"What do you want to know?"
"Come out and we will talk, unless of course you prefer to die under that bed." Daryos says with a firm tone.
As Daryos asks the creature again to come from the bed, Nesyax returns her hand crossbow and slips her longhorn from her back. Playing a brief melody, she casts Friends.

Kitaer stands near the door and frowns, preferring to just cut the critter down. Still, he stands ready to grapple if they try to escape...
Stasyn listens closely to the conversation and has a hand ready on his wand should it try to flee.
