Ignazio's six wagons form a sort of circle at the front of the caravan, providing a central space mostly wind-free and better able to conserve the warmth of various campfires. A guard prepares to block the way at one of the 'entrances' as Rael approaches and starts to speak, but right at the mention of "trial" one bulgy head appears from behind the flap of the wagon to the side, interrupting you "Shh! Who in the Nine Hells told y-" Ignazio rubs his sleepy eyes to get a better view of the tiefling and his companions, "Oh, it's you. Mithann already told you, eh? Keep it quiet, will you?" he gives one quick look at the guard, who gets the unspoken message and moves somewhere else, "I'm not shouting around the caravan that some of them may be expelled out into the cold. People have a lot to worry about as is." he adjust his position under his covers to approach the wagon's flap as Rael says the rest of what he intended to, "Yes, yes. I've hired you, and you will do your job, especially during this trial. There's no telling whatever will happen tomorrow." he then realizes your final question and raises one eyebrow, "I've been poking around, yes. Found out a bit about some people. But I have some folks on it already, you can rest." he waves his hand dismissively, "Let's save it for the trial, eh? I'm sure you have a lot to ponder, too." 

Tragedy nods along solemnly. "Of course, we do indeed have a lot to ponder. But perhaps, if we could hear the insight of a clever man like yourself," she says, moving closer to the wagon's flap, "we might have an easier time resting."

Persuasion: 13

(or if it counts as deception, add another 2)

Saeli Follow the other to Ignzio's wagon. So let me get this straight. If I understand correctly, the only sentence in the trial is dead by being left here alone, is this correct? This isn't right you know? Especially when your only proof of guilt are some rumours and personal feelings. Why don't you take the guilty to a city and let the local judge decide their fate?

Cha roll: 18, persuasion is another +2

Ignazio grows a bit annoyed at Saeni's words and the feeling of being questioned in his own caravan, growing impatient as he shifts about to reach something inside his wagon. Looking to the sides before doing so, he eventually produces a crumpled piece of parchment with inked writing and the drawing of a face, "This proof enough for you, lady?" he shows it under the nearby campfire's light, the parchment clearly states: "WANTED BY THE FLAMING FIST: EDGAR PROSPERO" along with a gold reward, listed crimes, and instructions to escort him alive and manacled to a certain Flame (a rank) in Baldur's Gate. "I thought so... My guards took from the pack of one of our esteemed travelers, you can see the drawing is fairly on point." (the depiction of the young human male with a nervous look about him) Ignazio snorts before even seeing your reactions as he draws back the parchment and folds it, "And keep your mouths shut about this, eh?" he shakes his head and sighs, "And I'm sure Emial has other information from the Lord's Alliance, too. This is not what I'd want done, no. But bringing a known criminal into Bryn Shander... You know what they are doing every new moon there? No better than what we're about to do here, actually." he clasps his own hands trying to assure you, "Now please, just let it rest. Think on your decision and we'll have all of this settled early tomorrow, then Bryn Shander will be close by." 

((By the way, if you had any choice restriction due to the "Player's Handbook +1" Rule on your character, you can change to your liking, because that rule just got revoked from Adventurers League :) https://yawningportal.dnd.wizards.com/blog/saying-goodbye-to-the-ph1-rule/ ))

"Wait, it couldn't be!" Tragedy gasps. She quickly reaches out a hand to snatch the paper before Ignazio can put it away, and if that is not possible, she holds out a hand for it instead. "I must have a look at this picture more closely. The man looks just like my assistant." 

Deception check: 18

(Who is Emial again? Is that the war duke?)

Ignazio hands you the paper, but keeps his hand out demanding Tragedy to be quick about it, "Assistant!?" the plump man scoffs, "Nonsense. And to think I could be sleeping, but instead I'm up and hearing such talk... It's obviously that fella at the back of the caravan, my guards took this from the saddlebags on his horse." 

((Ignazio seems pretty set on his thoughts about the matter. Mithann mentioned a Warduke Emial here.))

((Oh, forgot to add this))

The whole document reads: "WANTED BY THE FLAMING FIST: EDGAR PROSPERO"

"Young human male of Tethyrian descent, considered dangerous. Escaped from the Seatower of Balduran in Baldur's Gate and last heard from in the vicinity of Luskan."

(ink drawing of the human male you've seen at the back of the caravan)

"Crimes: Assaulting a Patriar Noble, Littering, Theft, Vandalism, and Hampering Justice."

"A reward of 400 gold coins is offered to the delivery of this criminal alive to Flame Margusan."

The seals of the Lord's Alliance and of the Flaming Fist are stamped at the bottom.

So, you're saying your guards found this in the possession of the the man riding at the back of the caravan? Do you know this man? It sounds like he might be some form of bounty hunter. Maybe he is a member of the Fists or Lords? Also what about the reward, it says the Flaming Fists want him alive...

 And you, miss Tragedy, say this is a picture of you assistant? How long have you known him?

((Do I understand correctly, that the document was found in the saddlebags of the man riding in the back, and the picture shows Tragedy's assistant, and those are 2 different people?))

Ignazio grows increasingly impatient, "Yes, the reward mentions him alive, but I'm not dragging him all the way to Baldur's Gate for that." he once again demands the parchment back, "Besides, the way back is blocked." 

((The picture is a fairly good rendition of the nervous man at the back of the caravan, though Tragedy claimed it was her assistant.))

Ignazio may not be willing to drag the man back to Baldur's Gate, but Tragedy thought she could salvage the situation yet. The last reward mentioned was only a quarter of this one, and she certainly would not give up 400 gold coins almost put in her lap.

"Oh, it was a long time ago when I last saw Prospero. But why would a man carry a copy of his own wanted poster? The man with us is surely Edgar's brother. I must go and see him at once, to explain the confusion."

She quickly turns around and tries to break free of Ignazio's circle, still holding the paper and hoping that the others would catch on to what she was trying to achieve. 

Ignazio is startled as you make your way off, "Oh, that's it!" he snaps his fingers irritatedly several times at the guard who was nearby when you arrived, "After her!" he shouts. The nearby guard rushes off after Tragedy, and those nearby are able to see through the fog as the shapes of two other guards approach the wagon circle, but seem unsure of what to make of the situation yet and likely haven't understood the shouts over the wind.

((Unless Tragedy Dashes towards the back of the caravan or someone stops (Grapple, etc.) the guard, he will catch up with her soon enough. The other two are calmly approaching to check on what's happening and will take longer to get to action.))

"Um.... Tra...." Under his breath Rael mutters "This isn't going to go well" And he gets up and goes after her.

(Are we going to be continuing this?)

(Not sure, I wanted to give others a chance to respond before replying again)
