This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Luckily for you, you admitted your importance." Morgot says, squatting down to the man's level as he cowers on the ground. "But, I suppose your twisted sense of loyalty will stop you from giving me the information I'll ask for. I'll ask anyway. If you don't answer, I WILL kill you." I'm going to roll intimidation with advantage (Because I've already beaten him up). 22 "One, what powers does the so-called 'Dao Lord' Possess?
Your intimidation broke his mind and will. "Okay! I'll talk, I'll talk! He has earth elemental control and some similar spells. But his biggest thing is granting wishes. He grants his own instead of others wishes, but has 3 in his lifetime with lots of limits. He's used 1 of them to not die when Ichulla took out his body. Dao's don't have souls, so he gave himself one. He has 2 wishes left, he's being careful with them."

"The rival of the Glass Dao, Ichulla the Unfathomed who's a vampire, has cultists too. I can't tell the difference between their sides." One of the cultists jumps out and begins running again toward the farmland.

"Well best follow the fella that is running towards the farmlands then. I can't have them causing mischief there. Enough is being done to those poor folks. Let's go" Thrudor and hopefully his druid friend follow to the farms
The husky transforms into a man wearing worn silk clothing beneath leather armor and wielding a small fern wand as he follows you. Eventually the cultists gets to a place with tall crops and climbs down into a trapdoor or hole of some kind.

"Alright. That wasn't too hard, was it?" Morgot smiles, "Now, what does he want?"
"That's like asking what the ground wants. He shares the mind of the earth. I don't know, I swear I don't know, but I do know that earth Elementals are evil. Not the kind that loves your suffering, but the kind that will make whatever sacrifices to get powerful. I also know, at least from what I've read, that every Dao is obsessed with treasure. So maybe he either has his eyes on an artifact or wants his prize artifact back." He looks at you in horror and clutches his head, trying to think of anything else. "The Dao Lord has been a rival to Ichulla for as long as I can find in hidden books and scrolls. He hated Ichulla for thousands of years, but Ichulla became a vampire only right after turning the Dao to glass. And since that day, Ichulla became much more powerful than he was before. He used to be just a spellcaster of some sort, not even that great of one. Then he suddenly slew the Dao, and got powerful instantly." You can visually see a lightbulb go off in his head. "Dao's carry heavy weapons. Usually a massive hammer, but the Dao Lord had a staff. He doesn't anymore. Maybe Ichulla has it, and that's why he's so powerful. That's everything I know about him. And we have an entrance to our underground base in the farm somewhere, but as a high cultist I spend all my time in their and haven't memorized the entrance. Someone on your side broke into it recently and destroyed his new body, but he has a spare one prepared." He takes his hand off his head. "I'm all out of information now. Don't kill me."

The druid climbs into it slowly and whispers "The trapdoor has been covered up by dirt and crops, until recently. Some farmer found the trapdoor, some farmer with a specter."

"One last question. What are the extents of your powers, and where do they come from?"
"I used my strongest spells against you. We are Warlocks of the Dao, getting our power from an entity. It is the same for Ichulla's cultists, they are warlocks too. But the Dao Lord and Ichulla do not have the power to be a Warlocks Patron. I do not know who my real patron is, only that the patron is linked to both the Dao Lord and Ichulla. Only those 2 know who this third being is."

"Well. That is quite interesting. And, luckily for you, I'm a man of my word. I'm not gonna kill you, you've been quite helpful. Get up. NOW!"
He stands up so fast that he falls back down again, then stands up another time. "Wha-what now sir?"

"We're going to see the king. You're gonna tell him everything you just told me. Then he'll probably throw you in jail. But I won't let him have you executed - however much you might deserve it. Well, as long as you cooperate." Morgot heads over to the palace, keeping an iron grasp on the cultists shoulder.
"It's too bad I'm your only proof of this. For the Dao Lord!" He mutters something under his breath and erupts in green flames, dropping dead and shooting a ghastly transparent flare into the air, green and dull. His body cripples and instantly turns to ash but leaves you unharmed. Oddly enough, you see an evil, plotting smile on his face as he dies, as if painlessly. Lying in his ashes is an intact piece of hardened clay, only as wide as a coin.
