Sael watched Andrømeda walk away, and approaches Kwiz and Rush.  She decides to show them something she's capable of, and speaks telepathically to them one at a time.

"Kwiz, don't panic.  This is Sael.  I wanted to communicate without the Orc hearing me.  I am not listening currently for your thoughts, so please give a slight nod if you concur."  

She maintains eye-contact with Kwiz (once he looks at her), so that he understands better and gives him a reassuring look.  "If you think this could help, you and Rush could interrogate, or I could, but either way I can attempt to listen to his thoughts.  Or even attempt to manipulate him with my own..."

She turns her attention on Rush and says nearly the same thing.

Andrømeda makes her way to the first closed door on her left. 

Inside, she finds what appears to be a master bedroom. A large bed and a bulky cedar wardrobe dominate this room, which also has framed paintings of landscapes hanging on the walls.

Rush will nod and leave to go help Andromeda. “I don’t envy you, orc.” 

Sael turns to Kwiz.  "I guess that leaves you and I.  I don't see why we need to wait for anyone else.  You want to step over here a moment or something so we can discuss approach?" Sael thinks.

((Does Rush want to go into the same room that Andromeda just went into or does he want to explore another room?))

Kwisatz looks up to Sael, touches his hat ((arcana check 13)), and starts to move his lips. Sael, only, hears the message saying "Go ahead and lead the interrogation. I'll help in any way that I'm able."

((For Dipstick's sake: the arcana check that kevtr0n just made was for the message spell and the spell succeeded, so Sael, and only Sael, hears what Kiwsatz says.))

As Kwisatz and Sael are beginning to question the Orc, Andrømeda attempts to calm herself and begins going from room to room hoping to find either a hidden survivor or at least a cowardly Orc to exercise some righteous vengeance on. Entering the first room, she looks under the bed, in the wardrobe, and behind the paintings. (Investigation if needed: 6 )

((I would rather Andrømeda roll Perception: 12))

Looking around Big Al's bedroom, Andrømeda looks under the bed and sees a couple of pairs of boots ready to be put on for working in the fields. 

She looks behind the paintings and sees that they each have a date on the back of them. They were commissioned about 10-15 years ago.

Then, Andrømeda looks in the wardrobe and pushes some of the clothes that are hanging from one side to the other to see if there is anything. She didn't notice anything of value and began to close the doors to the wardrobe, but just before she does, something shiny catches her eye. She looks closer and finds a suit of mithral chain mail sitting there, folded on the bottom of the wardrobe.

Andrømeda picks up the mithral chain mail, cocking a brow at the surprisingly high quality armor. Not sure what to do with it, and doubting that she'll find anybody alive who might claim it either, she carries it back into the hall, running into Rush. She gives him a quick up and down, before tossing the armor to him. "Am think det may be of use for du, ja?" Then moves to the door directly across the hallway to continue her search.

((Does Rush want to go into the same room that Andromeda just went into or does he want to explore another room?))

 He’ll just follow Andromeda for back up for now.

“Holy cow, this is... who in the 9 hells were these people??” Rush is surprised by the mithril as much as anyone

Andrømeda stops just before opening the door and looks back at Rush, a little bemused despite herself. "...Am think det's de most Am ha heard du say at once meg venn." She says with a smirk, before turning back to the door and pushing it open.

Rush shrugs.

Andrømeda and Rush go into the room directly across from Big Al's bedroom. Inside, the room contains two beds and two footlockers.

((I went ahead and added the mithral chain mail to Rush's inventory.))

((I'm just going to start the interrogation though Sael will likely check in later))

Looking to his friend, and then to the orc, Kwisatz says "Ok big guy. I just want to know what happened here. I'm not asking for personal information. Let me know what I need to know, and you can go back to you clan. Otherwise my friends here might go back to blood squeezing..." At the last line he shudders a bit, and continues asking "Did you and all your friends raid the town and kill all the villagers? What's with the ice all over the ground? What were you looking for here?"

 He also casts detect thoughts to see if he can get a read on the orc. Not delving deep yet, but first just seeing if he's lying or telling the truth. If he feels he's lying, he'll dig deep ((WIS save DC 14)) into the orcs thoughts to try to learn what happened here.

"Do you ever stop talking, tiny person?" the orc spits. "What town? We didn't raid any town around here. The ice didn't come from us. It attacked us from the sky, like a coward!"

Using detect thoughts you can determine that the orc isn't lying.

((damn it... I keep saying town when I mean farm...))

"Yes... I misspoke. The farm here then. Why did you raid this farm? And what happened here?" Kwisatz continues

Sael steps forward, keeping her eyes on the Orc.  "Ice attacking from the sky?  Kwiz, remind me.  Do we know what kind of dragon has been attacking?" She steps closer to the Orc. "You will answer my friends questions, and explain what you were doing here, or I will begin to pull off toe nails.  You can still walk back to your clan afterward."
