"Searched them?" He motions for whatever was found.

"Mr Ruler, go to the Club and ask Miss CC for the kit I keep in my desk, please."

"Yeah, they had these..." He takes the cloaks, both with very fancy weave an inlays of copper wire on the sidea "I think literal 'cloaking ' devices"

Ryker nods "On it, Sir"

Rocco hands the cloaks over, "Eiluned...nasty. That means we either need to leave NO clues, or the clues we want."

"Your final services may yet be needed, Mr. Rocco...."

The flat faced redcap grunts "Understood."

Ryker comes back with the kit, "Miss CC has a hundred questions, sir." The troll Kinian says "I told her you asked for the kit and I got it, but I'm pretty sure she knows I know more than I'm letting on. Sure hope you're willing to help cover my iowa ass if she thinks about this too hard"

"I will fall on that sword myself." He promises. He takes the kit away and works a while, combining liquids and powders.... A bit of dross... and a bracing dose is ready. "The elf first." He gestures them to help get the potion in.

RYker props him up,Rocco opens the sidhe's mouth ... the sidhe starts to wake, aching...confused...

And in goes the potion before Sidhe Ire can come to the fore.

"There we go, My Lord. That'll help your mood. Get a bag over the head of the other one." He orders. "My Lord?" Getting his attention. "How are you feeling?"

"Little...dizzy.." He admits "Confused.. but.. pain's gone"

"Oh good." Sounding pleased. "Hopefully we'll arrange things so you never have that pain again. Now. How did you come to join us like this?"

"I was on a mission to learn what I could about the farm" He says

Rocco blinks. He didn't expect that.

Ryker's eyes narrow.

"Really?" Delighted (sounding) "For whom?"

"Viscount Lunastri ap Eiluned....he's promised a position of high honor to anyone who can find means to gather influence over the farm."

"Lunastri.... Lunastri....." Musing. "Hm, where is he located, again?" Trying to recall a memory.

"The Sable Gable County, of course" He yawns "In Maine. I Apologize. I do feel tired."

"Oh, I do understand. You will rest soon." Soothing. "What is the Viscount's interest in the farm?"

"To place it under his power, of course. The Baron of Ottumwa is a fool who is content with his small hold....dougals, no ambition. The Viscount believes that if he can gather the farm under him by hook or crook, certain Ailil powers in that overlhy political duchy will back his play... bolsering a Ailil Eiluned grip that will do wonderfully. I suspect there is more to it than that... we Eiluned must have our secrets and I imagine the Viscount has personal reasons as well"

"Personal reasons? Really.... What personal reasons?"

"I wouldn't know, thats part of what makes it personal"

"Fair point." He looks at Ryker, eyebrow lifted in both question and invitation.

"I wonder if that's the same idiot who tried to do a working of chicanery over the hold to make us think we all devout vassals in holding the hold for him? " Ryker says "Back when I was younger.. bit spell... did not work... Our Mountain reversed it on them."

"Has the Viscount ever tried to take the farm before?" Emerson asks the Eiluned casually.

"Yes...I'm sure of that."

He nods to Ryker.

Rocco raised a brow at the 'reversed part.

"Mountain sounds powerful" The Eiluned sidhe observes "Out magicked...yeah, that would do it"

"And what will you do from this point, My Lord?"

"Well, continue to spy on the kinain DeBuke. See why she's out here... why the sudden move to the college? Should we be spell her while she's vunlerable, learn the farm's wards?"

The boggan tuts.

"Knowledge is power, you know?"

"Oh, I could not agree more." Another glance at Ryker.

Ryker scowls and whispers "It goes without saying I'm not happy. I know where there are lye pits to bury this guy if you want."

"I thought.... perhaps, a gift to your Mountain?"

"Mm we can be pretty forgiving, but he could do a mind wipe sure."

"And he could ask whatever questions he likes."

"I'll take him sir. I'll take them both, let the Moutain know it was April he was after." Ryker nods "You got something that could keep them out for a few hours?"

"I do, but I wish to talk to the other one first..." A second draught, and the nocker should feel more forthcoming.

The nocker wakes but with a mouthful of drugs "oh..furk.."

"Talk to us, My friend."

"Sure yeah.. what the furk hit me?"

"Let's talk about this mission you were on for the Viscount, Mmm? Tell me more."

"Oh yeah.. hush hush yadda yadda. I don't know. he wants this troll farm. We get our hands on this Kinain, he can lay a geasa on her... and sboom..spy that can by pass the wards was one idea. "

A smile. "What were other ideas?:

"Well, there's always the ransom angle... but that one was scrapped" A mumble "Then there was the idea of her sedating their food.. THEN comes the bully boys. Drugging folks can really give you an edge in negotations, yo uknow?"
