Holy-sword-no-pants looks at each of the female prisoners, then his shoulders slump and he starts to undress. They both finish taking off their clothes and comply with Brand's instructions
Brand walks forward and placed manacles on Holy-sword-no-pants in a rear back to back position. Brand then takes out his rope and binds the other redband's hands in the same fashion and then ties the rope around his waist and then ties the rope around the waist of Holy-sword-no-pants and then Albrek. Brand searches their clothing and takes all their items and places them in his backpack. Brand then dresses the 2 Redbands.
Brand looks at the female prisoners and the child and says "We were sent by the Lords Alliance, you are safe now. What were these 2 saying to you?"
After what seems like an impossibly long pause, the older of the two women replies to Brand.
"I am sorry good sir, but I do not recall. It feels as if we have been down here for 6 months, yet I know that cannot be the case. I remember asking them to let me see my husband"
"The Redbrands came in the night and took my husband when he spoke out against their thuggery. A few days later they came back and took me and my children." She gestures to the young woman and younger boy.
"Have you found any other captives? Have you seen my husband? He would have the build and bearing of a woodcutter." There is a hopeful gleam in her eyes.
”ok do you know where they took him? Have you seen any maps on the redbrands? There’s a few of you to help and we should probably get you to safety first”
Brand walks up behind Ol. He whispers in Ol's ear "I think the woodcutter she is speaking about.... her husband... is the woodcutter that Val mentioned had been murdered a and his wife daughter and son kidnapped."
Brand nods, gives the bandits that are detained a flat unforgiving look and then walks over to the woman, her daughter and her son, places a hand on the woman's shoulder and and gently breaks the news to them about their husband and father.
The woman wordlessly collapses and sobs deeply, comforted by her daughter while her son stares emptily at the floor.
After some time, she turns to Brand. "I...I had started to fear the worst but hearing it was still so crushing. Thank you, for your honesty. You may not think it, but it helps. If only a little."
The party brings Iarno and his Redbrands to the town hall and deliver them to Sildar, where they are imprisoned in the town gaol.
A sign is displayed prominently on a notice board by the entrance
REWARD — Orcs near Wyvern Tor! Those of a mind to face the orc menace should inquire within.
Sildar thanks the party for clearing out the Red brand threat and seems especially pleased that Iarno, treacherous as he is, has been brought back alive.
"For your troubles, friends" he says, handing over a punch with 200gp
The woodcutter's wife, Mirna thanks the party before leaving the hall after being debriefed by Sildar.
Though her family has nothing to offer as a reward, Mirna tells the characters that she might know where a valuable heirloom is hidden. When she was a young girl, she and her family fled from the town of Thundertree after undead overran the place. Her family had an herb and alchemy shop, inside which a case containing an emerald necklace was hidden beneath a section of storage shelves. She never dared to return and retrieve it. The shop was in the southeast part of Thundertree.
Running a gold coin through his fingers Lucius remarks "I think perhaps we find an armourer and weapon smith to upgrade our gear and replenish our supplies before we go hunting dead or orcs perhaps?"

Brand nods and says "Yes, your clothes will be searched and returned to you. You can ask Glasstaff here about it."
Brand points his sword at Albrek as he speaks.

Brand unlocks their cells as he speaks.
“Well there goes the Witch. Told you they can’t be trusted.
Random time to leave but……“
After what seems like an impossibly long pause, the older of the two women replies to Brand.
"I am sorry good sir, but I do not recall. It feels as if we have been down here for 6 months, yet I know that cannot be the case. I remember asking them to let me see my husband"
"Are you here to help us back to town?”
“We will get you back to the town. Tell me, why are you prisoner here?”
"The Redbrands came in the night and took my husband when he spoke out against their thuggery. A few days later they came back and took me and my children." She gestures to the young woman and younger boy.
"Have you found any other captives? Have you seen my husband? He would have the build and bearing of a woodcutter." There is a hopeful gleam in her eyes.
I wish I hadn’t asked thinks Ol.
”ok do you know where they took him? Have you seen any maps on the redbrands? There’s a few of you to help and we should probably get you to safety first”
Brand walks up behind Ol. He whispers in Ol's ear "I think the woodcutter she is speaking about.... her husband... is the woodcutter that Val mentioned had been murdered a and his wife daughter and son kidnapped."
"Would you like me to break the news?"
Ol’s shoulders sink. He remembers the loss of his own family. He whispers back “yes please Brand”
Brand nods, gives the bandits that are detained a flat unforgiving look and then walks over to the woman, her daughter and her son, places a hand on the woman's shoulder and and gently breaks the news to them about their husband and father.

Let’s get the hell out of here.
Ol looks at Albrek and the redbrands. “Let me make this simple, any messing about, I’ll kill you”

Given their current state, the intimidation has the desired effect

‘Brand what do you fancy - kill the dead or hunt some orks? I’m going to head in and find out what’s happening at Wyvern Tor first.’
