You have both bandits bound and back to the clearing. Vince starts yelling out for Helga and when there's no response he looses his cool "Damn it! She went to find Jake. I know it. Gah, stupid woman!" He then walks up to one of the bound bandits and starts kicking him ruthlessly while screaming "Where's my son! Tell me where he is. Where's my son you piece of.."

GM after the scuffle Bogue starts to look around for dens of scent tracking creatures. (Wolves, Badgers, raccoons. Anything that could track a scent.) And he'll try to befriend the creature that lives there with a treat and his overcalm demeanor.

Bogue. You can find one. They are healthy woods although the immediate area has been disturbed by the folks camping here for the last 3 days so it will take you a little time to find one. Judging by the look of the forest it will take you 11 minutes to find a suitable critter.

Charisma grabs Vince by his collar, "Where do you think you are running off to? Leaving us here to clean up the mess you and Helga got us into. Now, as you can see, we are more than happy to help you and your family but the way I reckon it, it will be best if you tell us your side of the story and save us some time beating it out of these punks"
After a moment of struggling against you Vince throws his arms out "Fine! Fine, OK, I said fine. I'm calm. I know you all helped us out I'm not a fool." He exhales trying to collect himself. "Helga and I used to be part of their merry little band OK. When rumor started that everyone was going to have to clear out of the forest we figured 'why should we pay our dues this week when they're no longer protecting us' Right? I mean. What's the point of payin if you don't have a safe place to stay. Well his HIGH LORD" he says with a sneer "Bloodfang didn't take to kindly to that. We got wind he was sending some folks to collect from our hides so we ran. Came here hoping to avoid the whole mess." He starts to get agitated again "But I don't know how they have our son. Jake went out hunting last night and never came back. I guess they must have been looking for us and found him." There's a hitch in his voice and you can see his eyes are moist "We should have just paid. Now I'm going to loose my son and my damn wife too. I should have known she'd run off looking for him"
"Listen, Vince, Helga ran off ahead of us, but I'm sure she didn't get far. We will catch up to her in no time and make sure you get your boy back as long as you all clear out of here right afterwards. Now do you know where these men are camping? Helga must have had some idea where they have your son before she disappeared into the woods. " Charisma pulls small handkerchief from up her right sleeve and hands it to Vince with a soft smile.
"Those amulets may be useful to us when we enter the camp. Wil, would you like them?" Mystwaen asks, moving towards Edith and Rasskan to help question the bandits.
Edith is standing guard making sure the bandits don’t try to go anywhere. She looks up and sees Mystaen approaching. “If you don’t mind, I’ll leave the questioning to you guys. I’ve never done this sort of thing before...”
Vince accepts the cloth and replies while rubbing his eyes "Yes, I know where they are. I can also show you a less traveled route to get us there. Hopefully we can get into the camp without being noticed. I'm sure they have my son in "The Pit". It's where they keep all their prisoners, or hostages. It's right in the center of the camp though. They like to be able to torment their prisoners easily."
Looking to the captives he says "I'd kill those two if I were you. They'll not leave the forest and if they get a chance they'll warn the others or stab you in the back"
Bogue moves to where the two are bound and light the fire on his hands. "Will do... Goodbye you lot." He holds the fire in front of their faces waiting for the flame to rob them off oxygen... He has time.

Edith yanks Bouge back by the collar. "Stop! if we have to do this, at least be merciful about it!" Edith looks at the bandits and will try to see if what Vince said about them is true.
Edith you can't tell what they are saying. WIl would probably recognize it as a variant of thieves cant but unless you are part of their guild it would be very difficult to figure it out.
By the time you turn back around Bogue has already slit one of their throats.
(Ok, thanks!)

(There doesn't seem to be anything special about the amulets. Probably a system of rank within the organization)

Edith you see it is very much true and you also find out that are communicating with each other in a limited way using patterns of blinks.

"Easy enough...." Bogue instead pulls out a scimitar. "For the safety of the Royal wedding." Bogue moves to slit their throats.
Edith just turns away crossing her arms tightly. "Go ahead..."
"Wait, what are you to talking about?" Asks Edith turning to approach one of them.
(Is it possible to tell what they are talking about? Like if they are using a known form of Norse, or is it a version only they use?)
(sorry, didn't mean to skip a day of posting)

Edith looks away and lets Bouge finish.
