Finally after two years in the service of the Dark Queen Quintis you have finally been promoted. No more marching through filthy peasant villages administering the Queen's justice, this is your chance to rise through the ranks of her Majesty's armies and become one of her generals, or so you thought. Being placed in a garrison out in the middle of nowhere wasn't the promotion you had imagined, but after the death of your commander, your rise through the ranks seemed that much more possible. Through your leadership, your garrison holds its ground through an assault and infiltration by rebel forces and manages to capture two of its heroes. After transporting the two of them to the Capital, Queen Quintis decided to promote you to Captain and to add you to her collection of personal agents.

Pulling the rug off the sandy floor of the tent, you rig up a flimsy carpet screen effectively splitting the tent in half. You instruct Randolf to handle one of the interrogations while you handle the other. Randolf gives you a disconcerting grin “Finally, I get to put my commissar training to good use.” He says before taking a swig from his canteen and disappearing behind the screen.

Selenas looks at the screen with concern and slight disgust, before she can say anything though you order her to guard the door. “I-I can handle an interrogation,” she boasts, her voice wavering only slightly. “Very well,” she was going to have to get used to stuff like this anyway “Mildri watch the door, I don’t want any of the locals barging in here.” With a nod Mildri walks out of the tent and you head over to the tied up guard.

“Let’s make this simple, you tell me everything you know about your employer and I don’t have to get unpleasant with you. Understand?”

The guard glares angrily at you and chews his tongue but remains silent.

It looks like you had a tough guy on your hands. Well tough guys tended to make the biggest messes, whether it was with piss or blood and guts was just a matter of how tough he actually was.

“Don’t you have a tongue? Speak.” You snap, but the guard remains silent.

“Maybe I should check,” your kick catches the man off guard, your foot slams into his stomach and the guard coughs and sputters. Seizing the momentum, you grab the man’s face and turn his head to face you. “Ah I see what the problem is, there is a tongue in there, but it looks a little stiff. Maybe I can loosen it a little bit.” Your fist crashes into the man’s face dislodging a tooth and sending blood and spittle across the room. “Now let’s see if that solved the problem. Who is your employer?”

The guard looks back up at your and spits a gob of blood at your face.

“It looks like that didn’t solve the problem,” you sigh. Grabbing the man’s the leg you hoist the limb up slightly then stomp your boot down on the side of the man’s knee. There is a crunch as the man’s leg bends sideways. The man finally lets out a scream “Now that seems to have solved the problem.”

You wait for the man to stop screaming, which takes longer than you expected. When he finally calms down enough to speak you ask him again “Who is your employer?”

“I don’t know,” the man groans. You are about to twist the man’s leg when he screams more words. “I don’t know, none of us know, the boss doesn’t tell us anything. We’re just supposed to guard the tent. Ask Salim, he’s always been nosy, he might know something more.”

“Salim is the other guard?”

“Yes,”

Pondering the man’s words for a moment, you hear dull but meaty thuds from the other side of the partition. Some muffle words are exchanged before a louder thud and Randolf pokes his head around the rug. Heading over, you ask “What did you find out?”

“My guy doesn’t know shit, said yours might.”

“Funny mine said the same thing.”

“Hm, what’s the plan then Captain?”

" Alright then, I need you to get me a fire going, I've got to go collect some stuff. Did you see a stall selling spices, some pottery, A journal and a butter's blade? I need you to fetch me all of those, if they are not gonna tell us anything then I want to be able to document what does work for when I get to their families."


Leave the tend and come back with an empty box, maybe a butcher blade and a torch to get the mind going.

“I think it’s time I had a longer and more productive chat with their boss.”

“Right I’ll see if I can’t make these two squeal something more.” Randolf says grinning savagely.

“Wait,” Selenas calls out to you, “I’d like to try talking with him first, maybe I can get something out of him without being so vicious.” Selenas finishes glancing at the moaning guard clutching at his broken leg.

Randolf rolls his eyes and puffs air out between his lips “pff, please girl these guys are mercenaries words don’t work on them force is the only thing they understand, that and money. C’mon Captain let’s get to it.”

“Please Baldr,” Selenas begs, “this violence isn’t necessary.”

>”Ok Selenas, but you have one chance to make him talk.”

“Alright Selenas, I’ll let you try, but you have one chance before I take over.”

“Thank you,” Selenas says as she makes her way over to the unconscious mercenary.

“This will be a good laugh,” Randolf chuckles as he watches after Selenas.

“You have your own interrogations to attended to Commissar, and if Selenas doesn’t come up with something I expect you will.” You respond sharply, causing Randolf to sneer at you before turning heading back behind the rug partition.

You watch as Selenas gently shakes the mercenary and calls to him, until he awakens. Testing out that his jaw is still attached to his head, the mercenary glares up at Selenas, “What do you want girly, are you an apology whore from your boss,” he snickers jerking his head in your direction.

Stunned by the man’s vulgar comment Selenas stops to clear her throat before asking her question. “No, I’m here to ask you about your employer and why you are attacking caravans.”

“That’s it, well I can answer those right now.”

“You can?”

“Yeah, my employer is myself, and I’m doing it because I fucking feel like it.”

Sighing Selenas addresses the man again, “Look, I’m trying to save you, if you tell me I can stop my captain from beating you.”

The mercenary’s gaze flicks to you, and you can see a worried look touch his face, before he regains his composure and faces Selenas again. “Oh him, I’ve been hit harder by children, so don’t worry about my health girly. I’d be more worried about your own, and what me and the boys will do to you once the rest of my crew arrives.”

Selenas curls her lip in disgust and growls “We’ll see about that.”

“Oh you’ll be seeing alright. A girl like you, I’d give maybe 10 minutes before you’d be begging me the boys for more.” The mercenary breathes into Selenas’s face. She finally snaps, Selenas’s hand shoots out and slaps the man across the face. He merely turns back and gives Selenas a toothy grin “I like’em feisty.”

Selenas unleashes a flurry of punches to the man’s face while screaming “Is this feisty enough for you, you vile bastard.” Stunned by her outburst you watch for a few more moments as Selenas lets loose on the man’s face.

>Intervene, you’d like to be able to speak with the man, not hear him gurgle through a fat lips and toothless gums.

“Selenas, not in the face, I need to be able to hear him speak.”

You don’t know whether she heard you or not, but soon after your words she delivers a solid kick to the man’s gut causing him to double over coughing and spitting. Seemingly satisfied Selenas storms off past you and out of the tent.

You approach and kneel down to the mercenary while he regains his breath. “She hits harder than you do,” the man spits, but you notice how the humor had left his voice.

“Does that mean that you are ready to talk, or should I bring her back in here?”

The mercenary takes a few more breaths while he stares you down. “We’re mercenaries you idiot, the only reason we’d attack your precious caravans is because someone paid us to. No, before you ask I don’t know who hired us to do it. Only two people would know, the representative who brokered the deal and our boss. That’s all I know, now if you could finally fuck off that’d be great.
