With a perplexed glance towards the screaming Telrac, and a hand firmly grasped around their baseball bat as though clenching the arm of their supporters, the genderfluid Pelagic named Aisha Sokomwe says, "Uh... Aisha is confused.", as they wait to see what's to come.
With furrowed eyebrows and pursed lips, his fingers clenching and unclenching as the gasps of the good doctor wait in bated breath, the Red Agent finally bellows out, "You know an awful lot about this plot, doctor. I find this very suspicious. I shall give you one last chance to tell me everything you know. I suggest you get a better sincerity roll this time.". Allcright looks to him, a simple "...Sincerity what?" exiting his lips, before he is suddenly flung towards the runed Giant. "You know what to do.", the Red Agent says, as the runes begin glowing brightly. [Affinity: 20] The runed giant turns to the Red Agent, and speaks in Giantanic, "Truth spell.", before passing Allcright back. The Red Agent says, "So, what can you tell me?". Dr. Allcright looks up to him, before laughing out loud and shaking around. "All right, all right. You got me. I'm the one who set off the Alchemy bomb. Gunter Elh? She, and I know they're a she, poisoned her royal disease on us all. But catching us won't solve anything. There's still our comrades in Quinto Gestoal. Giants, Telrac, Humans, Pelagic. Everything in Maladria has at least ten members in our ranks. They can kill, and they will kill. So, other than learning the truth, is there anything else I can do for you today, beast?"
With eyes drawn and staring at each guard, her fists clenched in preparation of the slightest intrusion, Sam turns to the guard and says "This Trek sounds like such a good guard seeing all that has happened, let me tell you.", before dropping her vague grin and taking steps towards Sylvia. Blonde haired, red eyed, with fair skin, she sits there eating before she suddenly sees the horned woman stride up to her, flash her the warrant, and say "Hey you, I need to know about what happened during your oh so observant patrols. I think you know why I'm asking...". Sylvia swallows down her food, taking a napkin to her lips to wipe away any mess, before turning to Sam and saying, "Well, I found evidence linking some people to the crimes. After I finish lunch, I can show you."
A carriage rushes off behind Elena Etsby, Gunter Elh, and Patricia Lightfade as Elena's gunboat rests in front of them. A flag previously bearing stars and stripes has now been carefully painted over with the emblem of the Lorath Police Department: Elena's blessed shotgun surrounded by flames, with each ember, as Elena knows, representing Lorath's heroes of myth and legend. Piling the two into separate rooms, Elena heads off to see Gunter Elh. Tied to a chair, Gunter appears to be looking around the room with an inquisitive gaze, as Elena places his shotgun up to Gunter's kneecap. "So, Elena just wants to ask some questions. If Elena doesn't get answers, Elena makes sure Gunter walks a little less. Got it?" [Intimidation: 15+5 (Carcosian)+10 (Objective)+5 (Appearance: Additional) v 5+8(Blaspheme)]. Gunter gulps down their pride as Elena asks, "Did Gunter poison Queen Tamina?". Gunter nods. [Intimidation: 11+20 (Previous Bonuses) v 13+8] "Can you tell Elena anything else?", he says. Gunter chokes back, their voice raspy and quiet, saying, "Y-yes. Ever heard of Quinto Gestoal?" [Notoriety Check: 14]. At that, Elena leans back and simply says, "Elena's gods...", knowing that Quinto Gestoal is a terrorist organization, linked to several similar events in Staal.
As he looks down at the screaming, dismembered head of Siesta with great pity, the divine and powerful Sum Whan can't help but feel sorry for the gardener as he picks the head up. Siesta stops screaming as Sum Whan says, "Look, the great and wonderful Sum Whan really doesn't have anything against you personally, so he'll drag you out of the sunlight, okay? Then we can get to the interrogation.", before throwing the head back into the shed, along with the body hitting the wall. The head and body aren't close together, however. Siesta is also not screaming, rather looking around as if scouting the place. "So, anything you want to tell Sum Whan?" [Charm: 1-5] Siesta merely looks to him and says, "...Fuck you."
Suddenly, the Svain known as Dankrad Diethard swoops in and says, "Alright, what can you tell me about the Queen's poison? Talk!" [Intimidation: 19+7 (Svain)] Siesta says, "Fine, but only if you won't decap me again! It's a rare poisonous substance called Strektentimene. None of that's growing here.", only to get slapped and yelled at with "I KNOW IT WAS-" [Spot Check: 20], interrupted by Dankrad looking up and seeing nothing that wouldn't be seen in a standard garden in the greenhouse. Turning back to Siesta, he asks "Um...what does the plant look like?", only to be yelled back with "...How the fuck should I know, it doesn't grow here! I only know about it because I did my research on it and its cure. It's antidote does come from the common Selestra plant, but it takes a while to make, through purification. Can I have my hands back now so I strangle you punks for knocking my head off?!"
As the guard known as Allan Nell patrols around the area, sweat beading on his forehead underneath his helmet [Stealth: 17], he misses Anglo Hale taking cover behind a wall as she scouts around, looking for a way to kill the poor man without suspicion. [Spot Check: 20] She spots multiple things that could be used: an anvil, a dropway of tattered, jagged stairs leading down to Solitary, a discarded pair of gloves and a clockwork pistol, and finally: a familiar looking whip. A Barbed Wire Cat O' Nine Tails, just like what was used against her. Gloves plus that equals the kind of karmic justice that keeps Anglo fighting at night. She hesitates for a moment, thinking of a plan.
