After looking around ,a bit worried, Gerwick will also follow.

[GiglameshDespair]

Kannii grinned. "Excellent. I'll see you then, but now i should find the rest of my companions." With a farewell nod, she slipped out the breakroom and scanned for the others. Seeing them led off by the drow, she quietly followed them, making no comment but smiling faintly. It seems today had been a good day.

 The door swings open to reveal a cluttered office. various weapons hang next to maps and rotas on the walls, and in the centre is a gigantic oaken desk, its surface almost invisible beneath papers and scrolls. Behind the desk, scribbling on one such sheet is another Drow - if the first was to be described as elderly, then the one behind the desk could only be called ancient. His silver hair and matches that of the other, but the black of his skin is barely visible between blood vessels and blemishes. Nonetheless, there is a spark in his eyes as he glances up, a dark tongue flicking out to moisten cracked lips.
 ’You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t stand - my knees aren’t what they once were.’ His lips break apart to reveal lines of surprisingly white teeth, as he places his quill softly down onto the parchment. ’I believe you are here for the job down South?’ He pauses for a moment, although not long enough to receive an answer, before interrupting himself. ’Ah, but where are my manners.’
 ‘My name is Arazel, and this is my son, Arath. I hail from a small town in roughly the same direction as you may be heading, called Kestal. needless to say, as a town full of Drow, it isn’t the most favourably viewed place at the best of times, but I have received word from lingering relatives of particular hostilities recently -’ the smile at last fades from his face, and he is now rather somber. ‘- From the Varden Empire no less. Apparently they took offense to people living on land they claimed as theirs, and attempted to take it ‘back’ -’ the word is tinged with sarcasm. ’- and needless to say, there was something of a resistance. Now, whilst I have no real proof, I have suspicions, and in this little world of coincidences they are practically the same thing.’ He hesitates, searching for understanding in the group eyes. ’What I mean to say, albeit in my rambling way - it comes with age - is that this village may well be the ‘bandits’ referred to by your most humble employers.’ The last few words are spoken in a complete deadpan, before a strangely distorted laugh comes from his son - the first sound the group has heard him make.

Wesley nods.
"So, what you be meanin' to say is that we might be attacking innocent people and that we may want to make sure that we aren't?"

[runhidesurvive]

"The thing is its not entirely unlikely considering the amount of information given to us about the job..."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Less unlikely, more inevitable."

[GiglameshDespair]

Kannii remained silent. Her eyes flicked towards the son. Tongue-less, unless I miss my guess. She waited for the drow to expand further.

[sjm9876]

 The bookkeeper nods slowly at Wesley. ’Exactly, my boy. Whilst the captain is most likely aware of this fact, he is new to command. He isn’t quite used to the fact his orders are not always correct. Or, of course, he  could just be pleasantly unaware.’ He ponders for a second, before appearing to realise the group are still present. ’Yes, well, I believe all has been said as is prudent to say. If you would excuse my further ill manners, I need to pack, and it takes quite some time when your fingers get this slow.’ He forms a fist, flexing his hands as if to illustrate his point, before rolling up the sheet he was writing on before the group arrived.

[kj1225]

Wesley nods.
"Good day then."

[GiglameshDespair]

Still silent, Kannii nodded as well and turned to go.

((Stray thought I just had, if I ever have to use my +1 to interacting with rough types on a woman I'm going to try and seduce her. Just because that's a thing I always seem to do.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Stray thought I just had, if I ever have to use my +1 to interacting with rough types on a woman I'm going to try and seduce her. Just because that's a thing I always seem to do.))

((Do you want me to pretend to be surprised?))

[kj1225]

((Let's be honest, you should be the least suprised.))

[sjm9876]

 ’See them out, son’ The silent Drow nods, before moving back around the desk and opening the door. He leads the group back out into the yard, where this time the dwarf is on the floor, pinned beneath the ogre’s club. He gestures towards the exit from the barracks, almost questioningly.
