>>25274962You catch her looking past you and you turn around to check your six, make sure nothing is coming up the stairs behind you.
Nothing.
You regard the mare suspiciously.
"Are you waiting for something?"
>"What? No! Nothing at all!""Well that's good. Because if you were, you'd be the first to go down if anything happened. Now open the door. You first."
She gulps and reaches for the door handle.
She opens it slowly and steps through the threshold.
You look past her.
It looks almost like a bedroom of sorts. There are four beds, all with messy sheets.
In a pile in the back wall and corner, you spot loads of adventuring equipment.
Weapons, armors, shields, bags, ropes, kits, bottles of various liquids, and more. Really, things that adventurers typically carry.
Interestingly, you manage to spot a few noteworthy items among the pile.
Carver's armor stands out, and you can make out the fancy guard of Loyalty's Rapier.
>"S-see? Nothing's here! N-now will you take care of the imps for me?""Gis, watch behind us. You!"
You draw your glaive and point at the mare threateningly.
"Tell me what you did to them before I make you tell me. I see their stuff in the room, I know they were here. I will cut you open and feed you to a giant snake if you don't tell me where they are! And you better tell me, because either way, I'm going to find them, so you should just spit it out right now!"
She slowly backs into the room as you advance on her, step by step.
She stumbles and lands on her rump. You tower over her, glaive inches away from her face.
Her eyes shrink to the size of pinpricks as she stares up at you.
She takes a glance at Gisela, who has her crossbow aimed down the hall.
If help could come, they'd have to go through her, and it seems the mare has realized that.
>"Stop, STOP! I'll talk! They're in the basement! We lure schmucks down there, ambush them, knock them out, and take their stuff! Please, dont kill me!"
