Brots nods at Zyltris. "That seems to be the general consensus. Let's move him before more come."

Syna says, "Sildar seems to represent the authorities. I agree we rid ourselves of this tick and proceed... It's almost time for tea," he finishes with a mutter.
"ALWAYS GIVE A MONSTER AN EVEN BREAK!"
1st Edition DMG
OOC: Remember Sildar is still at Halias, you could head back that way or go to the townmasters hall and wait for him there
Serak: Continuing his performance, the bard circles the square, taking special note of the physical appearance of each. He shouts to the crowd, "I understand your fear! These red cloaks have become a symbol of oppression and tyranny to the fair people of Phandalin for far too long! No more!"
Quickly removing the cloaks from the slain mercenaries, Serak stows them in his pack. He motions to the others to remove the cloak from the bound Redbrand as well. He next chooses the Redbrand that looks the most similar to himself in size and complexion. He attempts to discreetly remove any unique or identifying articles from him, pretending to check for signs of life, before continuing, "All future generations in Phandalin shall remember this day in history as Crimson Liberation Day! Wait, wait... what about Scarlet Freedom Remembrance Day! Okay, okay... I'll work on it! Tough crowd!"
Sleight of Hand: 21

Brots brings up the suggestion of taking the Redbrand to Halias. "Guys, when me and Beetle were fighting, I kinda did a thing. I mimic'd Halia's voice. I figured if she was connected, they would at least know her voice. By the way they reacted, I don't believe she is connected, at least not in a way we think, and if we trust Sildar, then we should take him there as we do not know if anyone else higher up is connected. To me, it seems to be the safest place."

Serak: Finished with the crowd, Serak quietly protests returning to Halia's, "I do not blame you for being deceived, master gnome, but mark my words - that woman is the most dangerous person in this entire town, even if she is not involved with the Redbrands. I don't want her knowing what has taken place here, or that we've taken one alive. We must get these bodies off the street, and quickly. Is there a safe place nearby to stow them for now?"
"Not all those who wander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkien
Serak: Not waiting for a reply, the bard mutters to himself, "She's enchanted us all... hasn't she?," as he begins dragging the nearest corpse toward the Lion Shield. Smirking at Beetle, he says, "So... how much would you say you trust your lovely new friend Linene?"
Addressing the crowd for the final time, he shouts, "Good people! Today shall be a bloody day in Phandalin, but tomorrow and every day hence, you shall be free! Return to your homes! Bar the doors! Protect those you love! For Phandalin!"
"Not all those who wander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkien
Zyltris continues his struggle in holding the Redbrand. “Guys, can we hurry? I’m doing all I can to hold this guy but he’s tough.”
[OOC: I vote moving him to Halias]
I don't have a signature.
[OOC: The Town master will just order him freed. They certainly won't let us interrogate him. Giving someone like Halia information is unwise. The Lion Shield Coster is closer and Linene is indebted to us. We must clear the street quickly before we have the entire gang on top of us.]

[OOC: Good point, alright, i'm voting Lion Shield]

Beetle: "I agree we cannot wait any longer we need to move them, I think to the Lion Shield is a good idea, Linene has had trouble from these guys so she will be willing to help I believe."
Brots looks toward the Lion Shield Coster and begins to head toward it, clearing a path through the crowd. "Clear a path people! We got some important business to attend to." Trying to be careful to not release too much information to the crowd.

OOC: So three votes to two for Linene's. I'll go with that then
Lifting the derobed redbrand, Zyltris and Beetle make their way slowly towards the Lionshield Coster, Serak and Brots flanking each side checking the area as they move. Zyltris thrusts a foot outwards slamming the door open, shocking those inside.
An elven trader wearing strange clothes turns at the counter but his movement is interrupted by the parties sudden appearance. Linene looks gobsmacked at what has arrived at her door. In the doorway, a chain mail paladin and high elf hold a bleeding half naked man, bound in rope and screaming for help. A gnome, elf and half elf stand beside them, determined looks on their faces. Quickly they close the door behind them, close the shutters on the windows and ensure they have not been followed.
"In the name of Beshaba, what do you think you are doing? Who is this? Why have you brought him here?" Linene demands as the coster is plunged into dimness.
“I am very sorry for the intrusion Miss Linene but we just had a run in with the Redbrands and we took one alive. We had to get him off the street for questioning.” Beetle says to her.
"And you brought him here of all places? What are you thinking Beetle?!" Her anger and shock is obvious from her face as it turns a shade of magenta. She turns quickly to the elf standing beside her, "I'm terribly sorry about this Riardon. I have no idea what these men are doing here!"
The well dressed elf just stares at the bloodied, bound man. The colour slowly drains from his face, mouth agape... he is completely speechless. The only sounds to emerge from his tight, now white lips, "A... buh... wuh buh.... der?"
Serak: Leaving the disgruntled Linene to Beetle, Serak proceeds to drag the corpses behind the Coster to the small stable or shed there. He hides them as best he is able with what is at hand.Deception: 21

Serak:
Out in the square, Serak drags the bodies into a outbuilding beside the coster. Townsfolk loiter around the square watching every move he makes. A small group of youths, no more than teenagers, rifle through the pockets of one of the corpses. One runs off happily circling around, one hand raised with something glistening in her palm. "Lookie guys, I got some!" A small handful of coins in her fingers, profits of the ordeal.

In the outhouse, stacks of empty boxes all branded with the blue lion sigil line the walls. Serak works tirelessly, piling the bodies into the crates. Out of sight, out of mind, at least for the time being.
Serak:
Answering the disturbed stares of the townfolk, the bard says, "I assure you fine people we operator with the full authority of the First Order. I must hide the evidence of what transpired here from their compatriots, or they will burn the village to the ground. Please, I beg you! Do not reveal what has transpired here until we've time to deal with the rest of the Redbrands."
Sweat glistening upon his brow, Serak is satisfied he's done the best he can to buy the party enough time to interrogate the prisoner. Safely out of sight in the outhouse, he fastens one of his newly acquired cloaks around his neck. Donning the personal items he acquired from the Redbrand corpse, he pulls his Disguise Kit from his pack and attempts to fashion a believable disguise.
Disguise(Intelligence): 1d20+1 = 13
[OOC: I took the personal belongings in hopes of getting Advantage on my Disguise roll, for using his actually clothes, earrings, hat, whatever etc. If that's cool, here is the second roll.]
Disguise: 19

Serak:
Seems a decent enough plan. I'll take your advantage roll, interested to see what you'll do with it!
