Haggle with Roick

Introduction

Since you've been smart enough to find a way to see me, I'll offer you a deal. Give me a few gold pieces and your detector, and in return I'll let you leave with the ogress, and I'll tell you why we acted this way. Otherwise, you'll have to fight my troops to free her. The choice seems rather easy to me.

Cunclusion

You made the right choice, so you can leave in peace, with the ogress. Our plan was very simple, maybe too simple. I represent a Norstrian group that would very much like a certain kind of trade to take place between Lanfar and our country of origin. By kidnapping an ambassador of the Duchy and by incriminating the Avant-Garde, we hoped we could force those two natural enemies into war, despite the danger of reprisals from the Falconers. The plan could have worked if the Dukes had reacted without any further investigation, and hadn't sent a human to do their work.
