As they move a few dozen feet away the bandits begin to come around to their situation. "We ain't talkin." Says one, "we say a word and we're dead anyway and you ain't no where near powerful enough to protect us." Says another.
Yulya again runs her hands over her face realizing she wasted her COMMAND spell
Ashley!
Can I burden you with looking after Summer? I think you are best suited for this task.

Cat!
I understand. Please protect Ashley and Summer! Don't go too far. We will catch up soon.

Yulya looks at an impatient Alice and then at the banditsI shall respect your final decision but I still do not get it. You can either confess everything and go - or die here as you are. I have no intention to torture a confession out of you so what do you have to lose? If you are dead anyway you might as well go out fighting those threatening you. I have neither an obligation nor the intention to protect criminals like you so if you go you are on your own. But well it is at least another chance you have been given no matter how small. But if you are set on rather dying here then so it shall be.
This is all I have to say. Now let us hear everyones decision now!

Alice rolls her eyes as she turns to Yulya
If necessary I will take the burden. I have no soul and no God to judge me. I don't enjoy killing them but I will do it so Cat does not have to. Hey, why didn't we outsource this to Ashley's cats? She was the one who wanted to see them dead the most!

The oldest, Johnstan, speaks up, "Confess to what? We didn't do anything, no crime, no victim, no witness!"
The second speaks, "We're the victims here!"

Ashley, out of sight and and out of earshot, happily skips with Summer through the snow. Her summons Helga prancing through the ankle deep snow around her like a dark Mary Poppins while Mr. and Mrs. Bigglesworth, in winter white, hitch a ride on summer's shoulders.

Alices face turns to stone listening to this drivel
Aww!
You poor innocent victims!
Then surely you can tell us what you were doing here, hiding on both side of the road while a trader's cart was approaching?
Anyway it's all settled then! Let's go to Neverwinter together so you can formally indict us at the guild for ambushing, attacking and robbing you! I assume you want to prove your innocence and make us pay for our crimes!?

Up up, let's go now!
Alice yanks on the rope, tying the bandits together!

Cat bows and quickly follows Ashley. But she slows down with every step, her tail whipping left and right until she stops and turns around, running back to Yulya.
Nyaa, sorry Yulya Nya I cannot run away like this Nya gotta finish this job Nya and it's dangerous just for you two Nya Ashley's got her cats too Nya!

Cat turns to the bandits and gives them a few paw slaps left and right
Playtime's over Nya stop fooling around Nya! You just confessed you were here to rob a carriage Nya! I don't care who you are Nya or what organization you belong to Nya! I've taken on other enemies than you pipsqueaks Nya. Without care if they were monsters, nobles or royals or whatever Nya! We're on our way  to hunt a dragon Nya so we have no time to deal with fools like you Nya. But you cause trouble ever again Nya and we will hunt you down and kill you all Nya up to your highest boss Nya do you understand Nya?

Cat grabs Johnstan by his hair and easily lifts him up with one arm, her claws digging into his scalp
DO YOU UNDERSTAND NYA??

Cat slams him to the ground and prepares to knock out the other bandits as well, cracking her knuckles

Relevant Rolls "We're not telling you anything, you'll have to drag us to your torturers in Neverwinter or leave us here to die." Whatever they're up against in their own circles beats your negotiation tactics, clearly you can't drag them to Neverwinter and they're not confessing.

Though waterboarding or caning may have better results, torturing confessions out of suspects is generally considered morally dubious. To make matters simple, I will give you three options, discuss as necessary and the leader [Yulya] simply needs to make the decision and then you can rejoin Ashley, Summer and the cats. They're likely going to be 'rescued' by their bandit organization, the whistle meant at least they thought reinforcements were nearby, they're not random refugees based on their broaches that seem to indicate organization, and under the COMMAND spell the eldest did already confess. This is known.

Who are you?
Do you have any relation to this girl here? Yulya gestures to Summer
Why are you here?
What was your plan?

Quote from: Aleshe on January 24, 2025, 11:27:44 PM
Yulya's spell is effective and the eldest bandit seems to snap out of it for a second but his words are hollow as if he's half asleep.
"Johnstan Matthews, no, robbing a carriage, to rob a carriage, to meet our requirements for advancement."

One, leave them there, tied and unarmed, or untied and unconscious. They have a chance to be injured so if they are rescued by their organization, they will likely seek retaliation, the odds are good because this is a heinous act of torture.

Two, disarm them and untie them while at least one is conscious. They will return to their organization, they may possibly seek retaliation, the odds are poor, because the act of release will be considered a professional courtesy.

Three, kill them. Dead men tell no tales; however, there may have been unseen witnesses. The ability of a witness to hide in the tall frozen grasses while it's currently snowing is trivial. Retribution will likely be sought if that is the case, the odds are even.

Yulya watches Cats outburst of violence with unease but is also relieved the situation is resolvedCat leave one of them conscious and untie him before we leave!
Yulya turns to the youngest banditLead your men back and repent. As we said this is your last chance. We shall confiscate your weapons.

And your cloaks and brooches!
Alice unties the bandits Cat has punched out and strips them of their cloaks and silver brooches and the whistle. Same with the last one as Cat holds him

Well see ya!
Alice leaves last as rear guard to keep an eye on him should he still try something stupid

We have wasted enough time here! Let's catch up with Ashley, I don't like our party being split up!

Cat isn't overly fond of taking peoples belongings but goes along with the plan. Soon 4 bandits are stripped of their cloaks and 3 are punched out.
We will meet again Nya!

Cat packs the cloaks and her rope, turns around and leads the way to Ashley and summer taking Yulya in the middle
