Waft uses Levitate to ascend to the skies, far from the eyes of those searching them as the group escapes.

Viclas quickly pick up his running pace, accompanied by Waft that floats in the night sky. Aeros grant Chenna help to pick the half-orc. Finally the six of you managed to get into a relative far part in the town from the gathering crowd. Not long after you hear armored guardsman also runs to the scene, but they just pass without noticing you.

What do you want to do now?

== CHENNA the paladin ==

"Lets find a quiet place and ask this nice gentleman a few questions." Then looking him straight in the eye - "before we decide if he can see the sunrise or not."

"And then rest up.. "

Aeros Barbarian

"remember friend, he did willfuly surrender, lets leave Exocution off the table, im sure he can be reasoned with. besides, we have no stake in this situation aside from profit, sells swords like us get into fights like this all the time. would you have laid your life down in that barn Chenna? I wouldn't have. "

Aeros will pat the orc on the back, "putting yourself in the situation of others and contemplating empathy are the first steps to seeing eye to eye, and resolving an unnecessary dispute" 

Ooc: aperrantly aeros is channeling a wise old man now ... thinking hes gonna be an ancestor barbarrian, seems fun.

"The half-orc already yielded in combat. As long as he stays true to his words, I'm fine letting him go.

Besides, we've already burnt a barn because of a fight. I don't want to do something unlawful like that ever again."

Waft then speaks to their prisoner.

"What is your name half-orc and how did you know about the transaction happening at the barn."

“While you did surrender, I’m still not leaving execution off the table.  Answer truthfully . . .or else.”

===DM===

After few minutes of more walking, you managed to find a quiet alleyway to rest awhile and ask some questions. The Half-orc catches his breath and finally spoke.

"My name...is TURSAR WINDHUNTER. As I've told you...I'm an agent of The Welcomers"

He raise both of his hand.

"I know full well my life is yours now...The Welcomers, through our agents near the merchant houses, hears that a merchant is getting their hands on a very powerful item"

"...and those houses recently made contact with a cult we've never seen before"

"Could you figure out what kind of item"

===DM===

Tursar makes an effort to lift his hand, pointing to the bundle Vortrin carries.

"The Red Dragon egg"

“Red. Dragon. Egg” Viclas looks back and forth between the orc and bundle, not sure what to think he

"Well Tursar, after we release you, make sure that 'The Welcomers' or any other concerned groups you know won't come back for us to find this peculiar egg.

We literally just met a strange person and hired our services on the spot. Nothing personal, just doing what we were hired for.

But if you told us more about this cult, my comrades here would be less inclined in executing you."

== CHENNA the paladin ==

Chenna just whistles.... and exhales and is very excited about this development.

He will then slap Tursar on the back and while it looks threatening, he instead uses Lay on Hands to heal him for 3 hit points.

"Well, friend, tell us more about the house and the cult."

Vortrin will examine the dragon egg to try to see how soon it would hatch.  I’m guessing that would be Nature: 5

===DM===

As Vortrin checks the egg and recall his knowledge about dragons, the egg doesn't look like to hatch anytime soon. Dragon eggs take a long time to hatch, you know, but you don't know how long exactly.

Tursar feels a little bit energy come back to his body.

"Look, I'm an agent of a thieves guild. I know nothing about this cult, except that they just appear recently."

"Anyway, failing my mission, I know only punishment will wait for me in the guild. Thanks for sparing me, but I'd rather not make public appearance for sometime. Besides that, you have my gratitude and I will try to help you in other ways"

== Waft, AC 14, HP 12/12 ==

"I guess this is it then."

Waft releases the half-orc from its captivity as he bids his goodbyes.

"Good luck on your future endeavors Tursar. If we ever meet each other alive, we should grab an ale or two."

The genasi waits until their prisoner is gone before talking to the rest of the team.

"Let's go back and deliver the egg. It's been a long night and I think I need to take a good night's rest after this."

"This is definitely an odd situation" Viclas thinks to himself for a second, then turns to the party "actually if we could spare 10 minutes I'd like to cast Idenitify"

===DM===

Tursar stands up slowly, nods to Waft, and walk limply to the deeper, darker alley. After few minutes, he's gone.

From afar, you can hear clatter of guardsmen armor move from place to place. They seem to be asking question to nearby citizens about the fire.

There's 10% chance they'll reach the alley where you are hiding in ten minutes

Aeros whispers "good idea friend but i suggest we postpone any time requiring activities until we reach a safe place"

"if we get cornered by the guards, i still have a bottle of booze, we can use it to look like drunk know nothings just passing through". and aeros will keep it handy to pass around if necessary.

"Hmm, that seems like a decent approach but are current wardrobe doesn't really fit the bill, maybe if someone had some dirty cloaks"
