Pick up the crossbow and put it in my pack, along with any bolts, then grab the front of the mans shirt, drag him to his feet and slap him once. Hard. Then tell him to tell me everything he knows..... or he shall burn eternally.
[4] There are no bolts but you pick up the cross bow, who knows when you're going to need one of those puppies. [6] You pick the man up, "I got a question to ask you, if I like what I hear, I'll leave. If you don't tell me, I'm burning you to a pile of cinders. Now tell me what you know about the priestess." you say.
(Hidden roll is hidden) "I don't know anything about her, but she... she was saying these weird things in the temple... heretical things. She said that Sareesa had joined the demons. . . I don't know where she went, I swear!!!" He says. You detect a foul odor descending across the room. You drop the man and let him stew in his own shit.
You walk out of the house, looking back and wondering if you left anything undone. . . So the was the priestess in league with demon worshipers all this time?
Go back to the demonicron and interrogate it further; threaten to destroy the demon within should he lie again.
[auto-fail] You attempt to get the Demonicon down again and ask it a question, but you can't wedge the book out of the book case. It looks like you've exhausted your research options here.
I take another look at the scrolls and finally the trolls notes, then I bide goodbye. Ask him about demons spirits and bodys.
[3+1] You look back over the Troll's notes, it seems the Troll wasn't interested in Demonic Possession at all, but rather, trying to find the answers behind portal magic that the demons use. Unusual, but after looking through the notes, you can tell his interests clearly lay in practical applications of portals rather than summoning demons.
[5] You decide to take your leave and say good-bye to the Troll and thank him for letting him use his research materials. Pausing for a moment you turn around and decide to ask him about that theory regarding demon spirits and possession.
[auto-fail] "Ah not be knowin' much about it mon. You know as much as I do, the entire theory be untested, as you read. I hopin' 'dat the knowledge help you fight 'da demons though. Bye."
I nod to the Troll and leave. I don't have any real leads to go on, but I'm sure if I snoop around about Troll bounty hunters in the area I might find something out. Therefore I head to the tavern to listen to the gossip. I'll try not to ask any questions unless I have to since I don't want anyone drawing any obvious connections between my asking a Troll's whereabouts and then one ending up dead the same day.
[3] You head to a bar, one that most of the local trolls seem to go into. As you walk up and order a drink some of the patrons near you quiet down and have their conversations in whispers. There has always been a level a mistrust between Trolls and others, they are naturally weary of outsiders, if you want some information from this crowd, you might have to do a little more than hope it comes straight to you.
Blow up on Flintus for ruining my notes and storm off to the temple in search of an outside source.
[1] You spend a lot of time yelling at Fintus and hitting him with your staff. So much time that you entirely forgot what else you were going to do.
Attempt to avoid the worst of Dor'lek's blows
[3] Amazingly, you only take 5 damage despite being on the receiving end of 3 solid blows from a staff.
