He and his son were found slain on the side of the road yesterday.” This news sends a ripple through the crowd and Otha, the woman who tried to stab you begins crying again. “Before I could even ask her what she knew about Baloh, she attacked me.” Hilma adjusts her clothes enough to briefly show the slash the knife had made.
“I see,” Titos closes his eyes and lets out a quiet sigh “Otha did you do this?” he asks, his tone as cold and serious as the grave.
Otha looks to Titos, tears still rimming her eyes “I thought they were here to take us away. Kill us like they did Durro. She talked about Baloh being dead and I thought we were next.” Otha says choking back tears. “I was scared and was only trying to protect my family.” Otha pleads taking a step toward Titos, but one of Hilma’s retinue restrains her.
Titos’s lips tighten into a line and he speaks his next words with restrained sympathy. “Otha, did Baloh mention anything to you about coming into some money.”
Looking both shocked and hurt, Otha responds, “No. Baloh never said anything like that. He was an honest man. He would never steal.” She says with rising conviction and anger.
Titos looks from Otha to Hilma, “There is your answer your grace, Otha knows nothing about what Baloh was doing and while she may have attacked you it was only to defend her children. You no doubt would have done something similar if someone barged into your home.” Titos keeps his gaze locked on Hilma, seemingly willing her to take the out he just offered her.
>Take the out offered. Baloh’s relatives aren’t worth the possible fight.>Press Otha and Titos further, they’ve got to know something, even if they don’t know it themselves.>With Titos and the mob on her side Otha is just lying to save her skin. They know something and they will reveal it once you take them back to Brak.>[Write In]
