Out of the Ghoul cave, return to Zobeck.
Nic chuckles at Stella with regard to her bemusement and turns his cloak inside out and reclasps it (it looks much nicer), "At no point have I ever given over to the word of the King's bard without the consideration of some sort of omission on his part." Nic turns to Tymon, "No offense Timmy, but I sort of understand what an agenda is and what it means to serve, even if that means serving yourself."
He then turns back to Stella, and glances over the rest of the party continuing to speak, "We must consider this news, however.. ahem, convenient it presents itself, and just why Herr Dugan would be a target, and to whom else might bear him ill will. Is this just about Kiara potentially holing up there? Furthermore, and I say this with the utmost suspicion, why would we put the mouse in the corner when a blind cat does not know it isn't there? I feel that we might just be walking into a situation that isn't warranted for our present company."
Nic looks back to Tymon with a snarky smile, "Though you're more than welcome to check in on Herr Dugan yourself and report back anything you might be able to confirm or deny."
Turning back to the party once more, Nic concludes "Finally, I feel that this present circumstance feels just a bit off if you ask me. Sure, we could stand to use some more information before heading back, but then again, it seems that some little birds are reluctant to sing any further as the night draws closer. I'm not eager to rush into a situation without being prepared, especially if it is merely rumor. I do have concern for our friend Herr Dugan, but if word is true, one would hope he hasn't lived this long by sheer luck alone and without being prepared himself. What do the rest of you think, or does anyone else know how to make a sleepy bird sing more? Talk amongst yourselves, please."
Nic rests his gaze back in Tymon's direction, "Do you care to elaborate further? You know, rumors, maybe some other facts, or say... any little details that might have slipped your mind for some reason?"
