I hang back behind the warrior and mercenary, suspicious of the newcomer. I wouldn't put it past a cultist to take out one of their own in order to sabotage us.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

"Good, I would have assumed you'd use it to attack me anyway. I'll wait until you use any healing potions before I ask you anything else then."

"No, but i would have thought that you would have gotten some in town before taking on a cultist hive." I sling the Imp over my back like a hobo sack and begin looting both corpses.

"Fair enough, well who knows does anyone in your group have something." I continue to loot the corpses (Zale, what do I get.)

"Interesting, it looks like one, self combusted and the other one has a stab wound in his neck. How about this, we'll split it down the middle, but first, answer my question, why arre you three down here.

You find a some bronze and silver coins, three or so charred scrolls, a few amulets, a demon effigy, a few round clay balls that smell vaguely of sulfur, two crude silver rings, an iron dagger and a spellbook.

Let's see, you can take the coins, the scrolls, and the rings, which are probably cursed, and I'll take the clay balls, the effigy, the dagger, and spell book. What do you say?...by the way, Imp do you know anything about this stuff?"

The Imp muttered to itself for a second, then spoke.

"The orbs will likely explode in smoke and sparks when thrown, and the effigy will summon a demon of some kind when smashed.. Judging from how it looks, a rather lowly and stupid one." It sniffed the air, then continued, "I smell magic on one of those rings. Something with wards. The scrolls look like.. fire magic."

It glanced at the bard, wondering if this information was enough to ensure it's freedom.

I see the demon glance up at me, "Not a chance imp, I free you and the next thing I know you're trying to kill me from the shadows. But you hav'nt lied to me so far so I'll give you a chance. I'm going to ask you three questions. If you answer them all truthfully, I'll let you go, If you don't, I'll hand you off to the three adventurers. Who judging by your reaction, really, really don't like you. So, What's it going to be?" I wave the demon towards the three adventurers.

Given to them? It shuddered to imagine what would happen.

Today was a horrible day for demonkind.

"Fine. I will answer your three questions."

"Alright, first question. Exactly what are these cultists planning to do hear, and exactly how do we go about stopping it...Yes this counts as one question."

"We can get that from a cultist with a bit of torture later. You'd be surprised how much you can get out of a person if you use illusions and transmutation."
