(Probably Feltyr to drop off Kef, if he wants to stay there, and see if they can pick up a new cart and horse.)

On the way to Feltyr, and as you are perhaps twenty minutes outside of town, you notice your badly-wounded prisoner wake up.

Balassar just looks at the man “He’s awake.” He calls out  to the rest of the group “Do we want to keep going or question him without guards around?”

The man is looking around, trying to get a sense of where he is and what his situation is. He's not doing anything else... yet.

As he does so, the illusion of his appearance fades, revealing a rather nondescript man with shorter, dark brown hair, perhaps a little older than the illusion suggested. He has a very visible tattoo on his face, a nine-spoked wheel.

Rhane:

(I assume we have tied him up and removed anything that could be used as an arcane or divine focus or any spell components).

Rhane tries to recall the significance of the 9-spoked wheel in this region...(History check with favored enemy:  1d20-1 advantage:  14)

Rhane, you have no idea what this might mean.

Yes, you've tied him up and I assume also gagged him and removed any items.

"Up to you guys. I don't have enough energy to make the hut today though." Alton walks behind Balassar and keeps an eye on the prisoner for any funny business. 

The man stares back at Alton.

Rhane:

”A nine-spoked wheel.  Does anyone know its significance?” asks Rhane as they move along.

"I don't know anything about that," Kef says, eyes fixed warily on the restrained brigand. "Is it like a gang or something?"

Rhane:

Moving over to Balassar, Rhane says quietly, "Feel free to interrogate him and I'll watch his reactions.  I am much better at reading people than doing the talking."

(Rhane Passive Insight 16)

Will Balassar stop for an interrogation?

Balassar just stops and looks back with a smirk "I guess I can try. He seems a little loony though."

He just draws his sword and places it near Alton before heading to the prisoner and grabbing him by the collar "Let me be clear before I move the gag, you try anything funny with your mouth - spells or hidden poison my hand immediately goes in and I haven't bathed in a bit. Nod if you understand."

OOC:
Intimidation: 15 (12+3; rolled in game log)

The prisoner raises his eyebrows; he might be afraid, or amused, but he does nod.

You gather round him as Balassar positions him on the ground, so you can all observe and join the questioning if you wish. Kef steps back a little and keeps lookout, but you are not near any road or settlement that you know of, and are unlikely to be disturbed.

Balassar just nods with him "Good...Good. So I'm going to pull this, first question is simple. What's your name?" he proceeds to pull the gag and then makes it clear by balling his fist that he wasn't bluffing about shoving his hand in the man's mouth.

The man pauses a while before he answers, then looks you right in the eye. "Coryn Wainwright", he replies. "And you are?" His tone is formal - perhaps overly formal, perhaps mocking.

Balassar just keeps his stare on him "Don't matter, what's with the tattoo?" he asked just following the flow of questioning.

"I like it. It suits me. Don't you think? What about your friends," he looks around at the rest of you, gathered nearby. "Don't you have any questions for me? I sure have plenty for you. Who are you? And why are you hunting me? Who sent you?" He looks at you all in turn as he speaks.

Balassar looks around at his companions “What was the point of it all? All the destruction and hurt you caused?”

Rhane:

”And the people you imprisoned…” grumbles Rhane in addition.
