[Additional goal: get the journal out with us]
102
At the first hint of smouldering up in the rafters, I stop my fruitless attempts to try and pick the lock on my manacles with an armour buckle, and stare up at it. "Oh, fuck me," I breathe, then throw my chair backwards as hard as I can with so little leverage, trying to knock over the table behind me and hopefully both jar Pepper awake and knock her down to the floor, out of the smoke. Not to mention myself, once the chair goes over.

I hesitate, eyeing Valenae and not extending my hands or feet just yet, trying to delay until he's safely chained first.
104
Or to someone, at least, I think, but merely nod. Wish all the murderers I met was this helpful with telling me about who all they killed, really.
105
"How long ago?" I ask, after a brief twist of my mouth at his refusal to take me along. "The kid wasn't a lie, so if you killed him... guess that makes the job a lot simpler, anyway."
106
"How many groups you killed?" I ask, frowning.
107
"No," I say immediately. "Leave the girl and take me. I aint gonna abandon - my captain, or this lot working here, by trying to follow you or nothing, but I can defend myself on the way back if I gotta. Countryside aint safe."

"Y'know, for someone who thinks we oughta have the facts, you sure aint saying shit," I bitch at Tarravan.
[Diplomacy: 2+2=4! I had a nice little speech originally about how people were just trying to kill us for doing our jobs, and if we were forewarned we'd be more likely than the other groups to be the ones he had to deal with later on in his mission, but.... yeaaah.
Oh, and History and Religion for what groups would be inclined towards the whole "necromancy is WRONG" view: 4, 13+4=8, 17]

"Yep," I agree, ignoring the rest. "I figured you aint a Karrn. Still waiting on hearing who you are. Your turn to answer, right? Fair's fair."
110
"My job's to do as I'm told," I reply. "And keep my mouth shut when I'm told. They was real clear on that, so sorry, but I aint playing whatever your game is."
111
"We aint traitors," I snap. "And our orders aint your business. We're army, and that's all you gotta know."

[Astra will spend 2 surges to get back up to full health during this short rest, btw]

Dio, is Olegov going to want to try and do anything about Pepper at present? I don't want to take the conversation too far ahead if so.
114
"Don't recall you saying who you are yet," I note, glancing back with minimal concern as the sarge is dumped on the table. Don't got a lot of worry to spare for something that's her own damn fault, all in all.
115
"Yeah, undead can control themselves just fine," I mutter with a snort.
116
I look over in disbelief. He really just told 'em who we are straight out, didn't he?
117
"Interesting," Tarravan says, watching the exchange. "Tell me more about these Eladrin bands."
"Uh... no offense, but how do you not know already?" I ask. "Everyone knows about 'em. They been attacking villages and stealing people from outta their big tower thing, and they kill or chase off anyone that gets near. Some says they turned all the countryside around 'em to winter, even in Yeargrowth, but either way they come more when it's cold, for sure."
118
"I find missing people," I snarl. "And work with other folks who do the same. We're good at our godsdamned jobs and we don't need to make false accusations; someone's just run off, I find 'em just fine. But someone goes really missing, not in my area but in the northwest... king's said to've called out the fucking army over eladrin bands stealing and killing good people, and you're pretending it aint even happened?" I shake my head disbelievingly and sit back. "But no, you're right. Don't know what the fuck I was thinking, talking to an undead at all. No good ever comes of that. I'm done."
119
"Uh, they kidnap and murder people?" I say incredulously. "You don't... someone gets taken by eladrin, they're just gone." I look over to the vampire and say disgustedly, "How the fuck did you ever get sent along with us. Does anyone even know what you really are, or did they just decide it don't much matter if you got hungry along the way with nobody else around and didn't bother telling no one, neither?""Wait, what? Eladrin?" I exclaim. "He's an elf!"
"You Karrns have a thing about Eladrin, don't you?" he observes. "I was never clear on what they were supposed to have done. Yes, they're heathen savages from a wicked realm, but so are most people. As a people they're not unredeemable."
Did you know? I don't ask, glancing at Olegov.
120
"Wait, what? Eladrin?" I exclaim. "He's an elf!"

[Can I ready an action too? If anyone attacks Astra or Oleg, she wants to aid Oleg's defense vs them, then drag him over to the NE corner of the building.

[Yeah, but why would it start running suddenly for no reason?]
