Taking the leather-bound flask into his hands, Guilliame attempts to use his Identify ritual to learn more about it.
Guilliame quickly becomes aware that, while the flask is not magical, it has certainly been influenced by magic in some way, especially the glass of the bottle itself.
Proceeding further, and ignoring the traces of those who have touched the flask recently—Dora, himself and the rest of the hand—he then sees the anxious face of the youth he saw speaking with Hazluk earlier. There are feelings of avarice and furtiveness about this association and Guilliame soon becomes convinced that the young man cannot be the owner of the flask, and perhaps even stole it.
Delving deeper, Guilliame sees another face; the face of a man he recognises and last saw standing behind the counter at the Sheriff's Office when Guilliame went to pay his taxes (see here for details). He believes this is the true owner of the flask.
He then sees the Sheriff's clerk actively filling the flask with a thick black liquid, perhaps the liquid in the flask that he smelt earlier. The filling of the flask seems to be being done as part of some sort of ritual and the name 'Shari' echoes through Guilliame's mind.
[OOC: He can learn no more at this time, but please make either an Arcana or a Religion check to see if he recognises the name Shari.
Also note that the above takes 11 or so minutes to discover, so please don't say anything about this in the forum until I say so, as Paul needs some time to do his interrogation.]

After thinking for a moment, the fugitive says, "My name is Samel and I live in my master's household. He will be angry at me for losing his possessions."

"My master's name is Wallus Hazluk," replies Samel, beginning to look a little more confident. "He is a rich and powerful man. He will want me to take his possessions back to him. Can I have them please?"

"Samel, my magus is looking at the flask and lantern now. So whatever you say I will soon be able to check. What was in the flask?"
"Why were you hiding behind the trough outside the Shepherd's rest?"
For Dora:
Samel looks a bit worried when Dora tells him that the flask and lantern are being investigated my a magus, but he seems to be being truthful when he says that he doesn't know what is in the flask.
When asked why he was hiding, Samel simply says that he was only doing what he had been told to do by the young Master Hazluk.

"So young Master Hazluk gave you the flask and lantern?"
"What exactly did he order you to do?"
For Dora:
Samel nods his head vigorously in answer to the first question and then says that young Master Hazluk was afraid that he might be robbed when he left the inn and asked Samel to go and find a place to hide where he could observe the entrance. He was to warn Master Hazluk if anyone was lying in wait for him when he left.

"I think I met him at the Inn, its Master Brutha Hazluk isn't it?"
"So if you were keeping a lookout for bad folk then why did you run when challenged by the Watch?"
For Dora:
Samel nods his head again in answer to Dora's first question and then hesitates before saying, "I panicked. The magus out there scares me and he sent his magic after me."

"Did the young master order you to avoid the Watch?"
For Dora:
Samel is silent for a moment before answering. "No..." he replies "He did not mention the Watch. The magus scares me, could he really turn me into a toad?"
[OOC: Dora is now getting the impression that Samel is trying to use his apparent nervousness about Guilliame as an excuse or diversion.]
[OOC: I will be unavailable to answer questions for the next 3 hours as I have work to do.]
