Planning and spying
The Convergence was coming. The symptoms have already started showing themselves.
He needed to be ready.
"Alright, alright, we won't hurt you, if you tell us where Redthorn is hiding at. If you even think about lying…"
Esdras produced flames in his hand and moved it close to the bugbear's face, it could feel the burn of the flames, it was just a hair's breadth away from burning his face.
"The Greendepth caverns! I-I swear that's all I know! It's further into the forest by the jagged trees."
Esdras nodded, he was able to get what he wanted nicely.
"But—"
"Hn? But what? Are you hiding something from us? Speak up!" David kicked it in the gut.
"No, no, but, I only went there months ago, recently it's been quiet. I can't go there, my payment gets delivered by the goblins to me."
Unfortunately, it would seem that there were still some things left out. But even then if the goblins are not there they still got their hands on the next clue.
