Archedius turns to the group and lowers his voice,

"Even if he was doing something unwholesome with it, or worse than usual I suppose, it doesn't seem like it'd be punishable. So we basically are being asked to interview a man who can lie to us without recourse."

"That be true, Archedius" she says in a low voice so only the others can hear her. "But I kin make sure I can tell if'n 'e's lyin' or not with a spell. So we dun have ta worry about that. Now I think we should go there in good faith. Meanin' we should be rightly civil ta tha fella. He may practice this necromancy but he ain' guilty 'o' anythin until tis proved, unnerstood everyone?"

"One other line of questioning that may prove useful, We could question anyone who held an entertainment establishment and see if they were missing any girls." Alain finishes this sentence, then shakes his head in disagreement with himself. "Of course that would assume that there were not that many dead or missing after the battle occurred."

Shana leans quietly forward:

"It might also be worth finding out if Delthrin had a lover. That's probably the most... natural... explanation for his interest in her corpse. If he was attached to her in life, he would want to give her a more decent burial."

"This is an excellent idea, look at his past. The girl might not be his lover but a daughter or a relative. We need to gather more information possible about him."

"True," says Blaise. "As the Captain here says, he did help the town ... in his own smelly, undead-loving way. Let's see what sort of impression we get from our chat with him before we spend too much time getting suspicious."

He looks at Shana. "It's an ... interesting thought. But a necromancer with the corpse of his lover... ehhhhuwwww. All right, that's my unpleasant image for the day. Let's go chat."

Jamethon, who has remained silent up till now, puts in-

''Well, if we are going to investigate this Delthrin, I suggest we get on with it. I know the men who handle the bodies, so perhaps I ought to follow up on that lead. I'll try to find out if Delthrin made the drop-off of the seventh body. Indeed, I may be able to find the men who handled the other six, if I am very lucky. There are a lot of bodies, but not many with their heads cut clean off- so it might have stuck in someone's memory. I can meet up with the rest of you later.''

"This will be very helpful indeed Jamethon. We can meet at the inn at lunch time or for dinner and we can discuss what we found out. I think it will be a good idea if we split. Jamethon will look for the victims. Me, Rardi and Blaise can go to talk with Delthrin. Archedius and Alan that guess are more skilled to talk to people and gather information can try to learn more possible about his past. Shana and Ironheart are free to decide what they want to do. What do you say?"

Alain nods in agreement. "Sound like an excellent idea, Lets get started shall we?"

"Yeah, let's go talk ta this Belthin. Afte tha we kin see what we want ta do." Rardi moves towards the door, ready to move on.

"That sounds like a good idea. A mage would have a better understanding of how to question another mage without offending them. Although, I must admit that questioning 'companions' will be a most uncomfortable experience. But, it might be worth learning if the necromancer frequents any borthels."

Archedius lifts part of his scarred lip in a disgusted snear as he thinks to himself.

Clearing his thoughts, he taps the back of his hand against Alain's lapell,
"Something tells me that you'll have to be the charming one, heh. Agreed, lets go."

"Well, I'm not a member of the militia, of course, but I'll head along with Alain and Archedius if you wish... see if I can make myself useful."

"That split sounds fine," says Blaise. "And though I'm not a mage like Delthrin or Ino, I do have some talents in that area." He smirks. "I'm happy to help interview him and look around his home ... politely, of course. Shall we be off?" He follows Rardi to the door.

Inovidil looks again all of them and happy for their decision says:

"Well since everyone agrees we can go. We will meet later at the inn to discuss what we found out."

With a polite nod says to Rask.

"We will keep you informed of course Captain."

With that she exits the room.

Alain startles a bit as the large warrior touches his lapel. "Wha...oh, I suppose that I will...Have to be..."

"Better yet...She is quite charming."
