Xamyra is the old woman from the school who has joined you at the request of the Magus. She wakes up trying to fight the restraints and to speak to only find out that all efforts are worthless.
Bones nods to Mia, "It's only a pity it didn't go smoother. She must be a slippery sucker to get out of your grip like that." He looks out over the fields to all the fallen skeletons. "Perhaps I should go and find that relic your familiar noticed earlier? She was obviously searching for something. You can interrogate her while I look."
Talinian nods. "That is an excellent idea. Baltor will go with you so I can see if anything should arise." With a thought he sends Baltor aloft with instructions to keep an eye on Bones and let him know if there are any issues. "First, though, I would appreciate that aid spell you have, on Mia."
Turning to Mia, he says, "You are more skilled than I at getting people to cooperate. Please find out what she is doing here, what magic items she may have, and if there is any danger to us. You may wish to remind her that you saved her life."
ooc: That last bit was so that Talinian can give her Help with her Persuasion roll :)
Inhaling a deep breath, Mia would focus on Bone’s guidance to calm her. Opening her eyes, she’d look to Falami, “We’ve collectively agreed to spare your life and I’ve even mended your most grievous of wounds. We simply want information. What are you doing here, what magic items do you have, and is there any additional danger to us?“ The paladin would try to keep an eye out for any lying twitches.
"I am hear to get stronger, be better, learn more." She let's out a cough showing her pain. "The army would have been an added benefit, but you all got here and managed to avoid or destroy what I had already made." An other coughing fit this time spitting out some blood. "As for magic items that I have on me, I have my daggers(4 in total 1+1, 1+2, 2 normal) and armor,(leather) I also have about another four scrolls of undead army." She coughs again.
Mia you sense that she is being honest, and given a lot of information, but simmering seems off about how much info she has given, almost as if she is over compensating.
Now Bones, you make your way into the field, and you find the sword, it is the size of a longsword, the blade of the sword is swearls of different patterns. The hilt is wrapped in multi-colored leather, there are 8 gems on the sword, three on each side of the cross guard, and two in the pommel. They are all different colors, red, light blue, green, black, dark blue, clear and white. Do you grab it and bring it back to the party?
Bones inspects the sword as the blade's swirling designs intrigue him, trying to ascertain any magical properties that he might be able to (Arcana: 11).
He then goes to grab it, but stops short. Thinking better of it. Suddenly a spectral hand forms around his, and his mage hand continues forward and picks up the sword, holding it just in front of him. He turns and returns to the camp, slowly, keeping an eye out for any other dangers (Perception: 9).
Bones places the sword on the ground in the middle of the tent. "I wasn't able to gather anything in my quick inspection out in the field, so thought it best to limit my interactions," and the mage hand pops away.
Talinian nods his agreement with the decision. "Please help Mia with the interrogation and ensure Falami does not try to escape. She claims she has little magic with her but I have no idea how honest she is being. I will see about the sword. Oh...your aid would be helpful and see what she has to say about the weapon, Mia, please."
Squatting over the blade, the Tiefling wizard does a thorough visual examination but does not touch the weapon.
Bones nods and sets about removing the items from Falami's person and laying them out on a nearby table. "I might put these away for safer keeping though, just so she can't easily get her hands on them," he says as he looks at the scrolls and puts them in his pack. "Mia, would you care for one of these nice daggers? I'm sure the leather armour is of no use to you." He stands for a moment, then starts to look about the room for anything else she may have hidden (Investigation: 8). "So tell me Falami, what drew you here to this place? Was it purely for the suitably supplied remains for your skeletal army or was there something else a curiosity?" he asks as he looks about.
"It was just the practice, trying to become stronger than I was before. I have no knowledge of that sword, where you found it, or what it is. I am being forthright I do not want to die, not when I am as close as I am."
As you continue to search her and the room you do find 2 things she did not mention first the total numbers of scrolls is 6 you also find a book titled 'Blood and Power' below the title of center to the right is a single drop that is burnt into the book the same way the title is. Once opened you see that the book reads more like an instruction manual.
As for the sword you can tell that it is an extremely powerful magical sword. But it's exact powers and capabilities is still a mistory but you are sure that identify would tell you what it is.

ooc: Does Talinian have any sense at all that it is cursed?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mia would watch Filami for any signs of lying or leaving more things out.
Insight: 16 + Guidance: 3
Mialee would also activate her divine sense to feel for anything worth noting.
Divine sense: You can detect good and evil. Until the end of your next turn, you can sense anything affected by the hallow spell or know the location of any celestial, fiend, undead within 60 ft.
Talinian you are extremely confident it is not curse.
Mia you pick nothing else up. And other than the fact that she was trying to be honest and with most things in hopes that you didn't go looking in the tent to find her book 'Blood and Power' or her other scrolls, she had 2 on her the tether 4 were in the tent.
Talinian sits down next to the sword, and begins attempting to identify the sword and it's magical properties. He reached out a hand, laying it on the blade while he performs the ritual.
ooc: By 'she' I'm assuming you mean Falami?

Bones nods, places a hand on Mia's shoulder to convey guidance to her, then walks out of the tent to search for the sword in the grove.

You are unable to tell anything about the sword and are concentrating on moving the sword back.
