Rory flags him for another pint. "Aside from war and slow trade, what's there to be scared of?"

The Sclavi barks a laugh. "War and slow trade, and that's not enough to scare you? That's scary enough for me, thanks. As for the Fort I'm sure it's either exercises or some damn Sho army's nearin the Al-Jalima border, gettin people antsy. Or maybe the Colonel's just runnin 'em ragged, who knows?"

"Hahaha... the Fort... yeah, gotta be.

Hmm, now that you mention it, there was talk of a culprit of sorts. Well... how to put it. A... purple scaled fellow.""

"Oh of course, the thought of war's got me plenty nervous," Rory replied. "Didn't mean to sound casual about it. Still, haven't seen anyone looking ill-favored come in for a drink during the time I mentioned?"

He shakes his long head. "No one suspicious around here that I recall. As for a purple scaled Sclavi?" He strokes his chin thoughtfully. "I've seen a few of those of course, I think we have a couple here in the thorpe. None really distinctive though.

The Sclavi gives a laugh. "You're right, you didn't, but last I checked no one else wanders around with purple scales."

"Not tell you?" He looks at you but you can tell you've hit a nerve. "There's plenty not to tell, I'm 32 this year, lotta stories there. I usually don't bore customers with mah life's story after all."

Rory's gaze shifts from the bottom of the empty pint glass to meet the Sclavi eye-to-eye. "We're not your average travelers," he informs the Sclavi, holding eye contact.

"We work for someone on an official capacity, and we're here to investigate a possible threat to the security of a nearby outpost. If you're an upstanding, good-natured citizen of Naverre, you ought to quit the act. Our job impacts the lives of thousands."

The Sclavi looks at Rory for a long moment and you can literally see his facade crumbling. "Okay... look... I know what we're doin ain't legal but lives of thousands? You're joking. You're... I ain't a killer," he grinds the last line out fiercely.

He stares at you for a long minute. "Okay look it's real simple, we're miners, we mine, we give 10 percent to the Mayor who gives 10 percent to the Governor. It's how we pay our taxes, no gold just goods. Helps keep the state supplied, jah? Well..." He wrings his hands. "We still do that but someone came by recently, Orc fellow, never gave us his name but he said he'd hook us up with an Undermarket connection. Start sellin there, full profit. We were gonna retire in another season, head back to our hometowns and families." There's an almost desperate pleading in his voice. "Please you gotta believe me, I had no idea there were deaths involved in all this."

You are quite certain he is telling you the truth.

"And you don't have to be a killer to be responsible for the deaths of thousands," Rory replied, low and steady. "If you don't want to be, you'd better tell us what we need to know."

"Nothing wrong with being homesick, or cutting out a middle man. If by 'recent' you mean less than a month ago, then this Orc fellow may be related somehow. Do you have a name? A time and place? Some sort of sign?"

The Sclavi looks at you fearfully. "He was... tall, for an Orc. Normal green skin, long black hair in a braid. Wore beggar's rags, nothing distinctive. Had a ton of gold on him for an upfront shipment. As for the Undermarket, I dunno who we sell to myself, I just run the inn... most of this I only know because the miner's talk, and wanted me on their side."

"I swear, I don't know what the Fort's up to. We've all seen the patrols but we doubted that had to do with us, the military doesn't get involved in little stuff like this." He looks between you for a moment, takes the gold, and almost hesitantly adds, "If this is connected to your lives at stake thing... could you swing by after and let me know? I ... don't think I could live with myself knowing I'd put people in danger over money."
