(OC: the guard post looks like it is just one room off to the side, there is an opening for a sentry to stick their head up through the outside severed head alcove. The unopened doors are past the mess hall, down both ends of a corridor.)

[vicious Violence]

Vic slaps the last soldier awake and using his foot as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding, begins questioning. Interrogation Rolled 7, skill level 12, first aid rolled 12, skill level 14

Why are you working with zombies!?
Where is your main base?
What happened with the necromancer?

[ajardoor]

The woman confesses the truth;

The leader had to let the cult do it!
You're in it. Please leave. We didn't do anything to you!
The necromancers are worshipping some demon up on the highest cave. They own us. They have one guy with his own hideout and library in that cave on the west side of the canyon.

[vicious Violence]

Vic uses detect lies on the answers (success on all three rolls, sl 12, (rolled 11, 12, 10 respectively).

He is disgusted by such cowardice.

If you are so afraid of them you could have joined us!

[ajardoor]

No lies detected.

The bandit merely notes that the cult is far scarier than the party, and far stronger, too.

vic, could you:

1. Ask her about the inhabitants of each cave in the canyon ( are they orcs, bandits, zombies, demons, etc.)
2. Ask her what she means by "They own us"? have they done something mystical to the bandits?
3. Ask what their cave connects to

Sure, interrogation skill 12, rolled 12. Rolling detect lies (skill 12, rolled 13, 12, 15 respectively).

I think we should crush the skulls of any bodies, lest they become zombies as well.

Far scarier? COMRADES, this woman hurts my kitty pride. ⓛⰙⓛฅ

IF you are so SURE they are FAR SCARIER THAN US.
WHY SO TERRIFIED EVER SINCE OUR PATHS CROSSED?

SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Gathika pulls her sword out and points the bandit.

WE! ARE THE MIND KILLERS!

SERIOULSY, HUMAN, DO YOU KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SCORE?
YOUR tab is half way to THE HUNDREDS and it’s been just a couple of days SPENT HERE.

Gathika pauses.

I LISTEN TO THE VOICES, DISSAPOINTED WITH THIS MAD WORLD.
AND SO THEY SPEAK:

DARKNESS IS THE PATH TO ETERNITY!
BUT YOU TRY TO CLING ON THE LIGHT OF AN EPHEMERAL WORLD.
LIGHT, WHICH YOU WON’T EVER GRASP.

*murderous stare intensifies*

"Gathika, please don't accidentally kill the prisoner"

You had your test and failed. You were asked to look where no one dares, and you chose the wrong pain. Had you looked you would have seen our outstretched hands to help. If my friend has mercy on you, you had no mercy on yourself.
