Sealed Lips

"...because you see, my quiet masked friend, where I come from, the desert is full of demons. For the past few hundred years they've dominated the most hellish parts of the desert, and thrived. So when a man speaks to me in abyssal, I have to question not only his motives, but his origins. There are a few explanations for someone that speaks abyssal. He could be of a necromantic origins, or some sort of arcane summoner that has to deal with demon types often. Perhaps he is a demon himself, oh boy would that be unfortunate, though he didn't strike me as such. Perhaps he is possessed, or maybe he just knew how to communicate with me and me alone"

Kade finished his sentence and wiped the blood off of his dagger onto his lemon juice soaked kerchief. He looked directly into the eyes behind the masked man infront of him intensely.

"So i will say it one more time, I need you to tell me everything of the man who recently employed some of your guildmates and had recently taken over all of the slaver trade in the area."

The masked man looked back him with pure fire in his eyes. Blood dripped as he flexed his hand that only had a finger and a thumb left. He would not talk.
"Well, if that is your answer then brother, then there is nothing left I can do."

"MORTON! CAN YOU COME IN HERE?!" Kade yelled down the hall.

There was a loud thump from Morton's room as the little gnome came out with an annoyed look on his face "yes Kade? what do you need? other people have work to do as well. I was just..."

Morton's sentence cut off as he came into the room Kade had been interrogating the masked man, his feet still kicked, though it was clear from the dagger in his throat that he was quite dead.

"Morton, I need you to take care of this for me."

"Oh? Do I look like some sort of ditch digger to you, young man?"

"We all know that the dead and the death are your gig. Also, dont forget these" Kade retorted as he tossed 3 fingers to the gnome. He walked pass Morton and into the hall and over the shoulder he said "I didn't get the answers I needed. I have to go into the city and look for more. If I'm not back by the time you guys need to leave, go ahead and leave without me. I'll catch up in Danmier."

With that the man in the black cloak was gone.
