Bog Luck enters the stable where Gourbain, Elbolin, and Barry are held captive, flanked by his assistant Ardred, and two uniformed cultists. He makes sure everybody is awake, and then addresses them. "All right, who are you really?"

Elbolin speaks up. "We're just traveling adventurers. I hardly know these guys, we just met at Baldur's Gate and decided to travel together, to work, and see the country."

"Don't lie to me!" says Bog Luck. "Who do you work for?"

"I swear, we're just adventurers, how can I prove it to you? If you want us gone, no problem, just say the word and we'll be on our way. I don't know how the fire started - do you want us to stick around and help fix it?"

Bog Luck seethes. "I don't believe a word of it! We saw you following us, we saw the fireballs you threw, and you guys say you're working on the road, snoop around here a couple days and then never mind, you're not working on the road... you're working for somebody. You're not going anywhere until we hear from Rezmir."

"I don't know this Rezmir, but I can talk to them, if that would help."

"One does not simply summon Rezmir. But it is she who will decide your fate."

With that, Bog Luck stomps out the door, followed by his entourage.

Elfo searches the carts standing outside, finding nothing of interest. He yells out to Bilbo "hey, come back here", as if there is no need to keep a low profile.

The group confers and decides they should go into the roadhouse and look for their companions. They approach the door together, and Hooflepoof pushes on it very quietly and carefully. He is surprised to find that it is not locked, and swings open easily, where they are greeted by the pointy end of five scimitars, wielded by five uniformed cultists.
