Lyn will approach and check for signs of life. If he's dead, she will smash the edge of her shield over the back of his head. Regardless of this action, she will move to start looking through the pack.

Neega rushes forward to Virgil's body. Grabs the horn, and tosses it to the closest person behind her. "If Virgil had toadies in wait nearby, this horn might be to summon them."

(Crouching down near Virgil.) "Do we eliminate this threat, or try to keep him alive for questioning?"

She is ready to break the neck, or tie him up with rope while someone else does first aid, depending on what she hears from the others. Whichever action happens, it is followed by checking the body for ID, documents, loot, or anything else interesting.

(Edit: Seems like Neega and Lyn have been hanging around with each other too much, coming up with the same ideas independently.)

(That's the idea! Battle-Besties for life)

Merrick responds to Neema "Well, my brother would always say why kill when you can keep someone alive? I'm not my brother, and this fellow did try to kill us fair and square. But, we should learn more. How did he find us? Why would he attack a group of clearly armed people? There's a lot here not adding up. Let's tie him up."

Merrick looks around the body for anything of interest. Weapons, etc. He then ties up the human, while whistling a merry tune to himself. "Interesting night this has been!"

Virgil is alive and unconscious.

Around the body are his scimitar and dagger, now covered in blood both his and some of yours. (the second dagger being with Kaemar now) Virgil has a small pack with rations and a coin purse on his belt with 3gp. His leather armor is unremarkable, as are the weapons. 

"Louis, can you give me a hand please - I need to take this out soon I think."

Kaemar looks down at the dagger embedded in her stomach with a worried look.

While she speaks she pulls out one of her health potions but doesn't use it yet. She also scans the area looking to see if the brawl has drawn any attention, either bandits or other creatures of the forest. Perception 6 However the pain from her wound is making her vision blur.

Neega is fine with tying Virgil up and disarming him (and gagging him), but points out that he might bleed out (death saving throws) unless someone with First Aid takes a look at him.

Lyn pulls out the rope from her pack and drags Virgil to a nearby tree, "Here or do we relocate first?" Looking at the unconscious Virgil, she spits and turns him over with a boot, "Just want you to know that I'm going to enjoy this."

The dagger comes out easily and the healing potion on the stopper closes the wound. 

Virgil grunts and moans but is still unconscious. A good slap across the face will probably wake him up. 

//I'll get you guys up to level two as quick as I can.//

"Thanks for the help, Louis, but take this potion in return. I still have another and I wasn't asking for your help to get you to give up your own supplies, just to help with removing the blade. I didn't want to kill myself taking it out! 

She gives Louis back a potion from her own two.

"That horn - he must have been expecting to get help by blowing it, if they could have heard it they must be close. Neega, you were hurt too, can you carry on? I have another potion if you need it? We could be getting company at any time, do we move that bastard and try and get some distance or do we stay here and interrogate him? 

One last question, you've saved him from dying but what about when he has served his purpose? Are we going to kill him, leave him tied up? - he was going to murder us, he nearly killed me, I don't want him sneaking around after us in a few hours, he already proved he could track Neega and Lyn from the mines easily enough and our mission doesn't give us much room for manoeuvre, we need to stay in place until Aegis gets to us, we would be sitting ducks if he comes back with a gang next time.."

Lynistra throws a handkerchief to Neegalum, "You hold his head back and this in his mouth." Lyn drops to squatting in front of the captive when Neega is ready, thenplants a right hook square across his jaw, "Wakey wakey, Sorry-Ass!" Lyn will wait to see if he wakes up before proceeding. In the meantime, frost begins to form on her left hand, "Start chatting or it's going to get a bit uncomfortable..."

"Thanks for your concern, Mr. Louis. I'd feel better with a long night's rest to recover, but I'll be okay until there is a safe place and time. But please keep a potion handy in case we get into more trouble.

"I've seen scum like Virgil on the streets." (I feel the urge to rewatch Shatner chewing the scenery in "TJ Hooker".) "We may not get reliable information from him. But besides finding out why he was tailing us, I'd be nice to know who he was going to call with the horn. We may want to blow the horn ourselves, to lure them here, if we hide and are prepared to ambush.

"Is there a peacekeeper nearby that would bound Virgil by law? If not, then I think the choices are death or release. Given the harm he could and would do, I would prefer to put him down."

Neega has proficiency in Intimidation, so she will help (give advantage) whoever is doing the interrogation.

(I'll gladly interrogate or assist with it. Not trained in Intimidation and 0 for CHA bonus, though. If someone want to drill the questions, I'll drill other wonderfully wicked things to help)

Kaemar is fairly decent (+3) at initimidation - maybe Neega and Kaemar can team up. She is also +5 Persuasion fyi but I don't see that as being the right path here.

Let Kaemar lead the Intimidation, and consider Neega as helping. (Neega does not have proficiency in Persuasion.) If he wants to play "Good Cop", Neega has the Strength to play "Bad Cop".

Rolling Persuasion with advantage due to Neega's assitance 23

Kaemar checks that the ropes are going to keep Virgil in place and that she is far enough back to avoid a bite or headbutt, she then slaps him hard across the face, and squats nearby in front of him as he comes to.

"You've lost a lot of blood, try not to move to much, it won't help you and you'll only end up opening those wounds and bleeding out, I'm sure you don't want that.  Although attacking us on your own wasn't the most sensible of choices I don't think you are stupid so please understand this - there is a version of this conversation where you tell us everything we need to know, you don't hold out on us and you don't lie. In that version you live, in all the other versions I stab you in the gut with the dagger you threw at me and I watch you die, tied to a tree like a big helpless fool."  

Kaemar draws the dagger out from her belt moving it around in front of Virgil a little.

"I will tell you, it hurt like hell, but then you've suffered a fair amount of pain recently too haven't you, pretty burned up in places aren't you?"

She smiles.

"I'm going to ask a few questions, some of my friends here might join in.  Answer them sensibly and you might see the sun come up, do we have a deal?"

Virgil is snapped to conciousness by the punch.

"MAh...mamnit, mirl! mhat mas munmalled mor!"

Struggles against the ropes and bites down on the handkerchief.

Looks around at the group.

"Mine, mhat mo mo mant ma mnow?"

Using the dagger, not overly gently, Kaemar slices through the handkerchief as she says.

"Stop being an idiot it was completely called for - so let's start with you and any friends you might have.  You had a horn you were trying to blow - how many people are out here with you, in what direction are they and how far away and will they come looking for you straightaway?  After you've told me that you can start talking about the mine.  Firstly, how many of you are there?  Ogres and humans - anything else? Numbers and names of the main leaders.  Are there any prisoners? If so, how many and where are they?  After that tell me what you are all doing there?  Clear answers, no bullshit or stabby stabby, do we understand each other?  Anything else folks? "

The last is addressed to the group.

Stretches his jaw a bit.

"Ay, thanks.

I was sent to hunt down those two and bring them back in. No witnesses right? Prisoners would have been fine but dead is just as well. Them meeting up with you three made that more difficult. Figured the old charm wouldn't work so well with the likes of you to protect them. Thought the element of surprise would do the trick. Would have had the drop on you too if that branch hadn't snapped back there.

Couple others were with me but we split up a couple times when we came to splits in the path. But the horn isn't for them, it's a goddamned healing horn. You blow it and it pumps you up. I just needed some space so it wouldn't pump you up either.

It's a pretty big force back at the mine. 50 or 60 all told. Ogres, orcs and humans mostly. Saw a couple gnomes out here which was weird but I think they were just selling shit.

There are a few of us leading the party. Head of the troops is an Orc named Gravestink or something equally idiotic. You ****in' Orcs pride yourselves on your ****in' weirdass names don't cha? But the head is the Duke's nephew. Wears all black to hide his identity but I saw his ring, it's him.

And Prisoners? Ah, not that I know of. Not for very long anyway. Yeah, the Ogres killed the dwarves. That was a **** up. They were supposed to capture them but Ogres are ****in' stupid, right?

So what the hell else can I tell you? I'm a delightful conversationalist. I trained to be a violinist as a child till I lost my left pinky in freak pastry accident. And I goddamned hate ****in' half-breeds you piece of shit!"
