"Is he a powerful magus?" asks Samel. "Can he protect me from my masters?"
For Dora:
[OOC: As far as Dora knows, the sheriff is not a magus. However, it is clear that Saladin Brassman is a magus, and Dora would know that Brassman is actually supposed to his magic to protect the tax office.]

AKA: Phillip Berrie: writer, editor and academic thrillseeker—a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
I am getting a little tired of Samel and I interrupt Guilliame as he takes a deep breath prior to answering.
"Samel, no-one can give you iron-clad guarantees of a little cottage with roses in the front garden, a wife who cares for you and bears you seven children and then to die in your bed. No all we can guarantee is that if you do not testify you will return to the Hazluks to a life or misery made worse so because you lost the flask and were apprehended by the Watch. It seems to me that fate played a part in you losing that flask - fate has given you a chance, no matter how slim, for a better life."
"Misery or a chance for a better life, what say you?"
"Why not?" says Samel, beginning to look desperate. "It belongs to my master and I was just trying to get it back for him. If you cannot protect me, it is the only way I can stay safe."
For Guilliame:
[OOC: According to Guilliame's Identify spell, the above statement of ownership is false. While Samel might have recently touched the item, Guilliame did not see Brutha Hazluk as having had any association with the object and the most likely owner is the man Guilliame now knows as Brassman.]

To the sheriff and Dora "Should we try to discover what the contents of the flask are. I can do an identify spell if we are prepared to open the flask and pour out a some of the content."
[OOC I am losing track of where the Sherrif is, Dora had opened the door to check on Samel and then Guilliame popped in and is the Sheriff still outside? If Guilliame's question is legit to ask then as follows.]
"Seems a good idea Guilliame with two provisos, the Sherrif and I witness your test, and you leave enough of the potion for the Seeker to examine, be sparing."
Then turning to Samel, "you will now have to deal with the Sherrif. I warn you though Samel to tell the whole truth or I will put it on the streets that you betrayed the Hazluks and then I imagine you will be late, as in the late Samel."
To the sheriff and Dora "Should we try to discover what the contents of the flask are. I can do an identify spell if we are prepared to open the flask and pour out a some of the content."
[OOC: The sheriff is outside the cabin, but not far. Therefore, Guilliame can ask this question of both of them.]
Opening the door to the cabin, Guilliame asks his question, to which the sheriff replies, "Will it take long? I would like to change out of this finery before the Seekers arrive."

[OOC #3576 was posted on the basis that Guillliame has not responded however #3575 came up after I had posted. I think with multiple users that sometimes things can go awry.]
[OOC: This is a contested check. Samel's roll is:11]
Perhaps it is the sight of the sheriff through the open door, or perhaps it is Dora's threatening words, but it seems that Samel's brief show of bravado deserts him.
"I, I will tell you what I know... Just promise me that you will protect me from the Hazluks."
The sheriff gets to his feet and walks to the door to look in on Samel.
"Well young man," he begins. "If you cooperate and tell us all you can about what your masters are up to, I will do everything I can to protect you... What do you say?"
Samel hesitates and the nods his head in reply.
"Good," says the sheriff gruffly before turning to Guilliame.
"Magus de Marchant, you are supposed to finish up your time at the calling of the next candle. I will pay you an extra Constantine, as well as any costs, if you stay here to protect the boy until the Seekers arrive. Is that agreeable to you?"
For Dora:
[OOC: For reference, Watch personnel normally get paid 2 Constantines per 8 candle shift. At the northern guard post, where shifts last 12 candles, normal personnel earn 3 Constantines for a shift; Dora earns 4 because she is the Handleader.]

If you see this, don't respond as I am still processing the move.
Perhaps it is the sight of the sheriff through the open door, or perhaps it is Dora's threatening words, but it seems that Samel's brief show of bravado deserts him.
"I, I will tell you what I know... Just promise me that you will protect me from the Hazluks."

[OOC: Unless either of you has anything to say to him, the sheriff will now leave in his carriage.]
