Specially dat one," he extends a finger indicating Shalandra "seen 'er prancing about on a pony doin' drills for the militia outside of Bush Namur. Pretty horse flesh she has too..." The Ork takes on a dreamy look as he thinks of Shalamar.

<Pean> "Ok they've gone for now. Talk quickly friend - we dont know how
long Kaleb can keep them fooled. Who are you, and what are you doing
here? do you know these bandits?
Shalandra, I know what this looks like, but remember that the sword is not
the only way to solve a problem, and we need information more than we need
to kill a few bandits. We're investigators, not militia. Not all of us anyway."
He turns back to the captive, and taking his small knife, begins to saw
through the bindings - leaving enough to look like they're still Ok, but
giving the man a chance to escape if he needs to.
"This will give you a chance if it comes to a fight. Shalandra - do
you want to check out that horseman? If he's a bandit, I
think you can handle him, and if not, we need to find out why he was
coming this way, and perhaps head him off. You havent heard of this
Derrock have you?"
