Isimond Sauerback"Well..." Sauerback nudges the dead man's arm away with the toe of his boot, picks up the bundle, and looks inside. "Not just a deserter, but a thief as well. I must return His Lordship's sword immediately. Thank you for your cooperation."

Isimond Sauerback"I never thought I'd find a nobleman/noblewoman having dealings with this scum." The captain narrows his one good eye and glares at Jarub. "How did you manage to involve him/her in your chicanery, Jarub? What are the two of you doing here? Don't play coy with me. This clearly isn't your first meeting."
YOU"As I see it, you have no right to make any claims against a member of the nobility, Sauerback."
Isimond Sauerback"If someone is behaving suspiciously and having dealings with ne'er-do-wells, then they should be questioned. Status carries some weight in the matter, but it doesn't grant immunity. Especially under martial law. So, now, what's the connection between you and Sergeant Vukchik?" The captain is unfailingly courteous, but he is clearly intent on continuing his interrogation.
Isimond Sauerback"I only stepped away for a minute! My post is right there, you can see it from here!" Jarub points in the direction of the infirmary. "If I hadn't stood here arguing with you, Master Captain, I could've been back on guard duty by now!"

YOU[Show the hand with Laria's ring] "In the name of Seneschal Voigtvir, Captain, leave us."
Isimond SauerbackAt the sight of the ring, Sauerback audibly grits his teeth. "Is that so? Well, I will not obstruct the will of one acting under the aegis of the Seneschal."
Isimond SauerbackPursing his thin lips, the captain glowers at you and stalks off without another word, his boots pounding the ground with each step.
Isimond Sauerback"Damned bloodhound. Can he sniff out a scheme at twenty paces?" The Merovian clicks his tongue in irritation. "Well, to the void with him."
Isimond SauerbackYou take the sword from Jarub and hand over the payment. The sergeant's face lights up with almost childlike joy. "It's a pleasure doing business with someone like you, my lord/lady! Thanks for your help, then. I've got a safe spot nearby — I'll wait until the fighting's over and your people arrive to take me to Footfall. We'll see each other again, if destiny wills it." Jarub offers you a low bow and hurries off toward the gates.

YOU"Must I remind you of your secret, Sauerback? And of the many people who would be interested to learn of it?

YOU"I was testing the sergeant's loyalty. Do your job, enforcer — I shall observe."
Isimond SauerbackPanicking, Jarub snatches up Seberian's sword. Captain Sauerback fails to stop the strike, and the blade pierces the enforcer's armour. Without warning, the sword shatters as if it were made of glass, a hundred glittering shards flying in every direction. Jarub blinks in disbelief at the hilt still in his hand. A moment — and a blue flash lances through the hapless Merovian, who drops dead to the ground with a piteous whimper.
Isimond SauerbackSauerback wrinkles his nose in distaste at the smell of burnt flesh, and returns his plasma pistol to its holster.
Isimond Sauerback"Merovian scum. Thank you for your vigilance, [Name]." With a hissed exhale through his teeth, the captain touches his comm-bead. "No, cancel the alarm. The situation is under control. The deserter has been eliminated."

YOU[Aim your weapon at Sauerback] "Take one more step — and you die."
Isimond Sauerback"What, you too!" Sauerback's reaction time is excellent — your shots sound almost simultaneously. The plasma burns a grisly wound in your side, and a bloody hole appears in the captain's chest. He collapses to the ground, glaring at you with all the hate he can muster.

Isimond Sauerback"My lord/lady!" Jarub waves a hand, beckoning you toward him. In his other hand, he is holding something large, oblong, and — judging by the sergeant's huffing and puffing — rather weighty. The object is securely wrapped in a thick oilskin tarp. "Job done!" He looks around quickly and holds out the bundle to you. "Now it's time to pay up, as we agreed."
Isimond Sauerback"Not so fast." The enforcer captain appears beside you so suddenly, it is as if he materialised out of thin air. "I have questions for you, Sergeant, and for your acquaintance here."
Isimond Sauerback"I never thought I'd find a nobleman/noblewoman having dealings with this scum." The captain narrows his one good eye and glares at Jarub.
