You slip out the back door of the tavern, evading the cook as he grills up another serving of grease and fat to the slovenly patrons paying all too much coin for his fare. The crisp morning air in the alley hits your face as you look around, and spot a pigeon roosting on top of a garbage bin. Your arm lashes out and grabs hold of it, and as the avian accomplice struggles to free itself from your grip, you peel a small bit of rolled parchment from its leg.
You release the bird and unroll the message, reading it carefully. Your orders, directly from the big man himself, are to try and pry the adventurers apart however you can, and to see if you can make even the common folk turn them away.
You swallow the message just like Duncan taught you, and sneak back into the tavern through the kitchen, making a small detour through the side hall to make it look like you really did go to the bathroom. Upon emerging into the dining room, you spot your group of "friends".
Alexander, a hedge knight with a bright smile and a big sword. Dean, a hunter with sharp eyes and a compound bow in his lap. Jennifer, a healer with auburn hair under a knit cap, always watching Alexander as he prattles on about nothing interesting. And finally, Sheila, a pyromancer who seems to store all the food she shovels into her mouth in her chest for later use.
They welcome you back as you take your seat, and slide you a cup of cold milk. As if you haven't had wine before.
Alexander asks what kept you in the bathroom so long.
>"That's not the kind of question you ask a little kid." (serious)
>"There was a pretty bug in the hallway, so I stopped to look." (innocent)
>Fake a blush and turn away (shy)
>"I stopped to chat with the barmaids." (Precocious)
The groups perception of you will effect the methods you can use to misdirect them while keeping your cover

lets pretend to be the shy guy. Nobody likes to bother the shy guy too much.
Hedge knight, healer, not the kind who would be willing to enter the good service (despite the dental plan, right)

>>46115567
we are not the big man. we're a teenager/kid that can't control his hormones.
>>46115314
Jennifer smiles and reaches over to ruffle your hair a bit.
"You're so sweet, Reese," she says, giving you a warm smile as she calls you by your cover name.
"Yeah, I could eat you right up!" jokes Sheila, just as she stuffs a bit of gravy soaked biscuit into her mouth. You pretend to enjoy the soft hand on your head, all the while trying to think of a way to get these four to turn on one another. Sheila has a bit of a temper, and Dean is always a bit distant. Especially since his brother was murdered in his sleep by 'bandits'.
The five of you get up after finishing your meal, and Alexander hands you a few coins to give to the tavernkeeper as they head outside to stretch their legs. As good a place to start as any.
>Keep the coins
>Dispose of the coins
>Give the coins to a random stranger
>Other
>>46115588
I know, thats why I said, the big man was not like that.
Soo, ignore all choices and flirt with the pyromancer, the healer seems to have her eyes on Mr Knighty.
What about:
I was all alone, there and it was cold. I was frightened *inch closer to the pyro*. I wish everyone in this town would be warmer to one another. *looks innocent*
>>46115656
Keep the coins but ask the hunter about the bug, what it was, if it was frightened by the amount of people etc.
And ask Sheila, jokingly, if she thinks, you taste good.
>>46115656
Give the coins to the tavernkeeper, doing anything else would be too obvious and blow our cover.
>>46115656
>>46115718
this.
we can't blow that cover too soon
maybe we can also turn the two women against the others by us pretending to be cute and all of that and then singing to them until they submit?
>>46115662
We should seduce the healer. What better way to fuck with someone than to cuck them and stick them with your bastard?
>>46115656
>>46115718
Do this.
>>46115748
or by pretending to the healer, that the Knight likes the pyromancer
>>46115656
>>46115718
Adding my vote to this. Let's get a feel for what these guys are like before we try anything too obvious.
>>46115718
You decide to stay your hand a little longer, and deliver the coins to the tavernkeeper before heading out the door yourself.
Outside, the group is enjoying the warm sunlight on their skin, especially Dead, who was never a fan of sleeves. You have a little trouble taking your eyes off of Sheila's ass when she bends down to touch her toes, but you remind yourself that you can rub one out later. You haven't even been near Lady Thorne's house lately, even though you've badly wanted to drop by.
Alexander seems to notice your troubled look and asks if there's something he can help with. Always the rock, him.
>"N-no, just thinking about stuff."
>"Well, um... What do you do if you think a girl is pretty?"
>"I was just wondering if there was anybody we could help today."

Right?
>>46115825
>"Well, um... What do you do if you think a girl is pretty?"
Guess we'll stick with the innocent act while we're still young and can pull it off.
>>46115883
There is no right and wrong here.
Well except for, "I wonder what my dark lord will do to you, after HE beats you."
>>46115917
Is more like her butts cute right?
>>46115873
Alexander flinches, and you see blood rush to his face. You figured him for inexperienced, but you would have assumed he'd at least tried something with Jennifer. Seems he's spent too much time around swords.
"Well, that's a... mature question. I guess if you really think a girl is attractive... you should start with maybe buying her a gift?"
"Don't give him advice on women when you can't even talk to waitresses." Dean cuts in here, likely having overheard the exchange. He gives you a quick glance, then looks back to Alexander. "If he's got eyes on a girl it means he's becoming a man. It's natural. All he needs to do is just talk to her and get to know her. Find out what they have in common."
"That does make sense. So, Reese, who is it you're interested in."

>"Sheila."
>"Jennifer."

Sheila, being honest with Alexander will help build trust.
>>46116080
>>"Sheila."
but blush like a bastard and don't tell them after hesitating for some time.
>>46116080
All of them. When asked really just blush and steal a quick glance at Sheila.
>>46116147
V.....V....V.anessa *ducks*
>>46116226
but anon, she's a succubus. it would be bad if a man wasn't interested in a succubus
>>46116107
You evade the question, and both Dean and Alexander seem reluctant to pursue the truth if you see fit to hide it. They do however encourage you to speak to this girl, and get to know her.
After the brief fresh air and sunlight session, Alexander rallies the group and they decide on what to do with the day.
"I heard there are some punks mugging people in the market lately. We could stake it out and see what we find. There's also supposedly an old man who's son wandered out into the forest, and hasn't come home. Standard search and rescue." Alexander rattles off the options on his fingers, but is stopped by Jennifer.
"Someone was telling me there's a mansion on a hill near the center of town where they're forcing poor, innocent girls into servitude. You know. The adult kind." Alexander blushes fiercely, while Dean and Sheila merely click their tongues in disgust. You try to fake a blush, but you're a little more worried than embarrassed.
"What do you think, Reese? You're part of the group now," asks Sheila, poking you in the arm. You think for a moment.
>The muggers
>The missing child
>The girls
>>46116253
Nooooooooo she's too nice to be a demonspawn.
*Imagines how her eyelids flutter when she encouraged himto try again, after hefailed with that bow-exercise"
>>46116280
The missing child.

>>46116280

>>46116280
>>The missing child
>>46116337
You suggest searching for the missing child. The others agree, though you can tell Jennifer is a bit upset to not be following up on the girls being put into possible prostitution.
You all head back to the inn to grab some things before heading out. You still have your knife, concealed just the way the Big Man taught you long ago, and they still have yet to notice it. Alexander dons his breastplate, Dean picks up some extra arrows and a shortsword, Jennifer slings her mace over her shoulder, and Sheila prepares some spells for the trip. When everyone is loaded up, you rent a cart and head out.
Alexander pays for carts out of his own pocket. Something about not forcing the ladies to walk. Nobody would complain about a free ride though, and so while he drives the horse, you and the others cram into the wooden tub and enjoy each other's company.
Along the way, Dean hops down to spring a leak, accompanied by Alexander. They never like to wander off alone, sadly. This leaves you with Sheila and Jennifer, who are awkwardly searching the air for a topic. This might be a good chance to put them on the backfoot.

You lean in and whisper into Sheila's ear. You make sure to turn on your charm for extra punch. As the light puff of breath from the 'p' tickles her ear, she flinches back so hard she almost falls out of the cart. You reach out and grab onto her waist, pulling her back in, but she slaps your hands away as soon as she's steady. Jennifer looks over, seriously concerned. It seems she didn't notice anything until Sheila nearly bashed her head open on the ground.
"What happened!? Did you see something?"
"No! I mean, no, no don't worry. I just uh, heard something strange." Sheila fixes her clothes, trying her hardest not to look at you as you smile innocently up at her. Meanwhile, your hand is still tingling from the sensation of squeezing her waist. Her robes hide it, but she's quite curvy, and even the brief moment of contact is making it hard not to give in to your base urges. Maybe you really do have a problem.
Eventually Dean and Alexander come back, and you're off again. On the way, Sheila is dead silent, and tries to keep her eyes on the horizon, away from everyone else.

>>46116696
You let her replay the moment in her head, hoping the lack of follow up will be more effective in terms of confusion. You do make sure to steal shy glances at her when you can, and it seems to rile her up further, especially when you don't say anything else.
Night falls, and Alexander calls for a small camp to rest the horse as well as the group. You help everyone unpack bedrolls and rations, while Sheila builds a small fire. As you munch on banana chips and cashews from a bag, you make plans for the night. It might be wise until you get to the forest to really start moving, but you're alone out here, and you don't get many chances at that.

>>46117186
Y...ya what this anon said, Totally. Oh look its our daughter!
[spoilers]Panics
>>46116937
You wait until everyone goes to sleep, and pretend to as well. When you've noticed everyone's breathing shift, you silently slip out of your bedroll and begin digging through their things.
Alexander doesn't have too much. Camping gear, money, and a bit of food. You almost get bored, until you find a book tucked away in a hidden pocket. You open it, and find that it is about thirty pages of erotic drawings. All of them are of women in costume, ranging from priestesses to maids to schoolgirl uniforms. You resists tearing a page out, electing instead to memorize as much as you can for later.
Dean has his arrows, as well as his brother's bracelet, which he took as a memento. It looks like real silver, so it would probably fetch some good money.
Jennifer has a few secret snacks in the form of almond cookies wrapped in wax paper, and a small diary detailing the events of her travels with the group. You pick the lock easily, and skim the pages. She seems to love three things, sweets, kittens, and touching herself to thoughts of Alexander, if the minor stains on the corners of the pages are an indication.
Finally you root through Sheila's bag, finding what appears to be a map, though to what and where is indiscernible. There is also a pipe and some greenish tobbacco in a leather pouch. You've never seen her smoke, though.
Suddenly you hear someone stirring behind you.

A futile attempt
>>46117297
You think fast and grab one of the water skins from Alexander's gear, then roll under and past the cart. On the other side, you drop your pants, pop the cap off the skin, and pour a steady stream onto the ground.
From behind you hear someone approach, and turn to see who. It's Jennifer, and she looks terribly embarrassed to see you in this state. You flinch away, and beg her not to look, and she turns in shock, missing the dangling bag of leather between your legs.
"Oh gods! I'm sorry, Reese, I thought I heard a raccoon! Please, forget about this!' She scurries back to the campsite, leaving you alone again. You let out a sigh of relief, and take a quick swig from the waterskin before capping it off again and replacing it in Alexander's bag.
You make your way back to camp, and notice Jennifer is only faking sleep now. By the way she's shaking, it seems she got up to do the same thing she caught you at.

well we can hide the 'greenish' stuff on one of the guys to get Shilea pushed away slowly and make it seem like they wanted to smoke it.
Jennifer clearly can be black mailed
The one guy is super fucking creepy with his drawings so that might break him from the group
>>46117535
And we can get Dean to storm off by planting the bracelet on someone.
So what order do we work in?
>>46117498
-Jennifer loves Alexander, so pretend that a liason between the pyro-girl and him exists, or create one.
Alexander likes girls, so as a knight-paladin-thingy, he should fall from grace, somehow. Not sure how, maybe hire a prostitute to seduce him. or something with the weekly orgies.
-The pyro has a short temper, so she might, if pressured harm an innocent or burn a tavern down. (Or she may be converted)
-The hunter. something with his dead brother, maybe give him a lead to track the murders of his brother. Just to make him go elsewhere.
>>46117573
>>46117578
Clearly we make the 'Knightly' faggot our target with the Hunter, Because nobody else uses 'swords' and the bandits I think did?
>>46117578
Those are all excellent ideas. How do we make Alexander and Sheila fuck each other? Maybe tell them both separately that the other is interested in them?
>>46117593
Would not. They probably know each other from way back then....
>>46117614
OP? Can we forge handwriting for a fake love letter, that ....accidentally falls out of the bag.
>>46117669
Or we could make him fall from grace with a whore and have the cleric see it. As in... there are strange sounds from Sir Alexanders bedroom. Can you please have a look. He might be ill. And you are the healer.
Sorry I forget the names sometimes
>>46117697
We could get him to fuck Duncan in a dress? He likes that Weird gay stuff.
>>46117704
what makes you think Alexander is a homo. His drawings are all of females.
>>46117535
You kneel down beside Jennifer and offer to walk her over to use the bathroom. After all, Alexander doesn't like people to go alone. She is silent for a moment, then agrees. You watch her climb out of her bedroll, regain her composure, and take your hand like a mother with her child. You walk together past the cart, to a bush large enough to conceal her act. She moves around the other side, and you turn away, listening to the sound of rustling robes and clinking belts, followed by the light sprinkle of water on dirt. You might take this chance to throw her off of her game as well.

>>46117737
>"Jennifer, do you like Alexander?"
>>46117730
I have an excellet idea.
Alexanders drawings are his own, right?
As he is a knight, he probably cannot draw too well, right?
We could add some drawings. A knight with a succubus and stuff like that.
or alter existing to show his really dark side.
Priestess with horns, maids with devil-tails
schoolgirls who prostitute themselves
Then have the priestess find them
>>46117838
shake up the trust between THEM and make them trust YOU more, I mean
>>46117857
That is a surprisingly good thing, Maybe have it easily 'found' by the priestess one night.
>>46117872
No
I want him to see her get them, and tries to talk her out of it, because he thinks they are the harmless ones, but is embarrassed.
If he succeds, we could, innocently, catch one and ask him, why she has horns....
>>46117857
That's a great idea, but the succubus drawings are pushing it. Probably better to do something a factor less outrageous but still provocative to everyone's fragile sensibilities, like with the schoolgirls or a sub/dom fetish or something
>>46117773
You bring up Sheila and Alexander, mentioning that you noticed the two of them talking earlier, and they seemed to get along really well.
"Huh? No, don't be silly. They just know each other from when they were kids. Alexander doesn't... really have an interest in women romantically." You notice she has finished peeing, but hasn't gotten up or begun fastening her clothes again.

You tell her that you sometimes, and by sometimes you mean often, you hear him shifting about in the dark and saying Sheila's name to himself. She doesn't respond. You push her a little further, talking about how you think it would be so romantic is two people who were friends for so long fell in love.

now we can play off our weird thigh grab as an innocent attempt at romance as directed by Dean+Alexander, since they just said "tell the girl how you feel" and we can probably convince all of them that we are the most awkward soul in the world. That covers us if Sheila turns on us and increases tension between her and the two men. Also it will make Jennifer feel like this is more of a normal conversation and that we're being curious and confiding in her instead of just being nosy and maybe even suspicious.

"Hah! Is it really that obvious? I guess I'm not too subtle about it, if a kid could tell in less than a month with us. He's not into that sort of thing though. He's too pure. And honestly, that's part of what I like about him. He'd never treat women like some men do. You and him are the nicest guys I know."
Seems like a good time to spring into action. You tell Jennifer you want to show her something, but she has to wait for you to find it. She agrees, finally getting her pants back on, and you run over to the cart.
You find the secret book again, and begin flipping through the pages. You find a good one, a woman in priestess robes, raising them up above her waist to expose her lower body. You root around until you find Alexander's charcoal pencil, and think about just the right way to hit this home.

Adding abuse might eventually let us drive him out of the group, but the rest will probably bond over being rid of him making our job harder. This will set the three up to be against one another.

You decide to go with the supreme, and throw in every terrible image you can think of. You're actually quite proud of your skill, blending seamlessly with Alexander's art style. You blow off the charcoal dust, then dash back over to Jennifer by the bush.
You hand her the book, holding the altered page open for her to see. She takes is, holds it close to her face in the moonlight, and all at once her face transforms into one of shock and distaste. You tell her you saw him drawing it earlier, and tucking it into his bag. You apologize for sneaking, but confess that you just didn't want to see Jennifer be hurt. She clutches the leather book for a little while, then closes it and swallows.
"Thank you, Reese. You saved me a lot of pain, even if you don't know how yet. I think I need to lay down for a while." Jennifer hands you the book, and begins making her way back to the campsite. You can take this in two directions.
>Take her hand, and turn on the smile

There'll always be time to get in her pants later.

>>46118854
You watch her stumble back through the dark. You can't help but smile at how easy some people are to convince. You take a minute to stow the book back in Alexander's bag. With any luck, she'll play her hand before you get a chance, and out herself as a thief.
You return to camp shortly after, and get some rest before morning.
The next day you continue riding toward the forest, though the tension in the air is thick. Sheila still won't look at you for any longer than needed, and Jennifer won't even say a word to Alex. Dean seems to sense something is amiss, but Alex is too simple minded to consider displeasure in his own party. You stay your hand until you arrive at the woods in the afternoon, when you all hop out of the cart and begin searching for clues as to the whereabouts of the missing boy.
Dean will likely find a real clue fast, so if you want to mislead them, now is the time.
>Plant fake clues
>Hold back for a better moment

And? Wasn't there a kingdom to the west that needed some trouble?
>>46119031
This can only go well, though

>>46119047
>Hold back
We can't be seen as inept yet.
>>46119047
Hold back, more opportunities may come when we find the boy.
>>46119047
>Hold back for a better moment
Why even bother to delay the search?
>>46119047

>>46119047
>>Hold back for a better moment
>>46119124
there is no prevalent good god. Lord Helmet rules here
also takes way too long, IMHO
>>46119131
You hold on a while for a more opportune moment. However, as you pretend to search the area, you notice Sheila and Jennifer off on their own, whispering near some trees. You decide to appease your curiosity and sneak over to have a listen. You miss most of the conversation, but you can piece together the important bits.
"Reese showed it to me last night. I know you don't want to hear this, Sheila, but the face he drew looked exactly like you. Down to the beauty mark on your cheek."
"Jennifer, you're being ridiculous. I've known Alex forever, he's not like that."
"Then explain why he had that drawing? It looked exactly the way he draws maps, or patterns for the tailor, I'm telling you it had to have been him."
"I just- it's hard to believe! He's always been so kind. I mean, why suddenly would he be doing these things?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's not sudden though. Maybe it's always been in the back of his mind. I mean, if you saw the blood and the crying and-"
"I get it, okay? I'll be careful. But I still think you're overreacting. Alex would never do anything that terrible."

>>46119360
>Keep QuietThis is our plan in a nut shell. yus, Do it
>>46119424
Problem is, OP said Alexander does not like people to go alone, so he is likely near the hunter. And if no-one has heard us scream....
I think we should not be so open already. We just planted one seed. We need more.
>>46119488
oh and diversify, not everything on Alex. Everyone should have dirt on them. Small things, big are too conspicous
>>46119360
>Keep quiet
>>46118412
This would actually be interesting. If we manage to get friendly with Dean in a way that the others can see it we might be able to put on an act that he forced himself on Kayle because he was gay with his brother and tries to drown his grief with us.
Of course we suspect nothing but at some point we are panically avoiding Dean and as soon as the others ask why we drop the bomb that he did bad naughty things to us and threatened not to tell anyone.
>>46119380
You stay silent and continue listening.
"I don't want to talk about this anymore. Shouldn't we be looking for clues?" Sheila shifts from one foot to the other, a sign of discomfort.
"Dean will find something, he always does. I noticed you acting odd this morning too. Did something happen to you?" Jennifer's genuinely worried tone makes Sheila even more tense.
"N-no...I just felt a little uncomfortable."
"Does it have anything to do with how you almost fell yesterday?"
"A little...Okay, listen, this is gonna sound strange, but hear me out. I think Reese might be coming to 'that age'. For a while, I thought I noticed him peeking at me from time to time." Shit, you aren't as careful as you'd thought. "But yesterday he whispered into my ear, telling me I was pretty. It just caught me by surprise." To your and Sheila's surprise, Jennifer starts chortling.
"You're getting embarrassed by a little boy? Sheila, he just has a crush on you. Tell him you're flattered, but you don't feel the same way."
"Well, that's the thing. I'm not, he's just a kid, but the way he said it, it's like something warm wiggled into my ear and down my back. It was so intense. It has me all confused." Jennifer reaches out and places a comforting hand on Sheila's arm.
"Look, you're just not used to attention, but you have nothing to be worried about. You're beautiful, I'm sure tons of guys admire you from afar. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
You sense a golden moment.

Crap. We fucked up there.BIG time.
We should avoid using unnatural anything voice anythings. Might make her more suspicious....

Hey Quest Anon, I just caught up on the archives, and I have to say I really enjoy your quest. The humour is fantastic and the story keeps me interested.

If we can somehow work this into the future, it would be perfect. However, let's leave it off for now. It would take substantial buildup for it to work.
Anyway, flowers. Time for innocent goo-goo eyes.
>>46119721
>Come out with flowers for Sheila
>>46119782
This but I think we should make it look like Dean beats us up. Like he slowly loses his mind over the loss of his brother.
>>46119847
oooh, thats nice
>>46119831
>>46119782
Wrong person quoted, but whatever I got the one that takes votes right.
Guys, Guys, we screwed it.
We could have forge some evidence that would link enemy kingdom with assasination of their thief. Like they wanted to frame us in killing him (well, it was us) so the Adventurers would take taking us down very personally.
>>46119782
You reach down by your feet and pluck up a half dozen wild flowers, arranging them neatly. You then pop out from behind the tree with your best shy look, and approach Sheila with the bouquet. You tell her that you picked them special for her, but that you don't think they're as pretty as her. You hand them over, and she takes them, face red, using her other hand to hide as much of herself as she can. Jennifer bursts into giggle fits.
"Don't be such a tease, Sheila! A gentleman brought you flowers, the least you can do is thank him!" Jennifer lightly nudges Sheila toward you. Sheila hesitates, then catches her breath and clears her throat.
"Th-thank you, Reese. They're lovely. Um, what exactly would be a good thank you, though?"
>"Just a big hug?"
>"I'd like to give you a kiss, if that's okay..."
>"I want to sing you a song I wrote for you!"
>Other
>>46119847
Nah, I think Alexander. "He" made a drawing of Sheila with a penis and beat the fuck up, right? What if we make it look like he beat us up and we barely got away from his lewd avances? Plant Dean's brother's bracelet in his belongings too and make it look like he killed Dean's brother as part of his sick fetish.
Of all the keikaku's this one will be the most doori.
>>46119917
>"I want to sing you a song I wrote for you!"
WE CAN USE OUR POWERS TO SWAY THEM TO OUR SIDE.
>>46119847
I wonder if the other direction would not be better. Ask about his brother, if he remebers him much, in what way he was better than Reese, to learn from him......
Basically pretend to be innocent, salting his wound, making him snap when it comes to bandits.
Or try to bond with him, telling him, we too had abrother (our big brother) that was murdered when he tried to protect Ma's supper.
>>46119917
>"I want to sing you a song I wrote for you!"

>>46119918
>posting monsters in my thread
>>46119918
But how will we turn the rest of the party against each other?
I can see us charming Sheila to do our bidding or even join us and Jennifer might be easier to discourage once she is alone but Dean might be a hard nut to crack.
>>46119933
>>"Just a big hug?"
Nope. Jennifer might react as she is a healer/priest. And Sheila might undestand, because she is a mage, so not naive as to what is happening. At least after the effect cooled down a bit
>>46119917

>>46119917
>"I want to sing you a song I wrote for you!"
A song that starts fresh and clear, like an old fairy tale, gets grimmer as it goes on, but they will be engrossed. Make it sound airy, so someone not enthralled by the magic won't see the real message. Things aren't as they seem, and that a monster is in their midst, one who wears [[insert Alex clothes here]]. Make it subtle, not too overt, but make them overtones grim and dark for them, insert fear.

>>46119994
One at a time, one at a time. Perhaps the reveal that Alexander is a monster will sow distrust and make the party paranoid. And of course, Alexander himself will grow to resent the party.
Kill someone in their sleep (Jennifer?), leave no clues and watch the accusation party. Everyone will accuse Alexander and Alexander, knowing that he is innocent, will sense a conspiracy. From there on we kick back and enjoy the show.
>>46119917
>>46120008
Adding my vote.
>>46120092
I wouldn't want us to dirty our hands.
Right know it appears the girls have bonded a bit more so I would recommend pitting them against Dean as well.
As soon as they are the only ones left we can use our charm to turn Sheila on our side. Then we can try to charm Jennifer as well or outright kill her if it proves to be fruitless.
This is getting too creepy for me. I vote to just sing and brainwash them and get this over with. The Big Man probably has more work for us to do.
>>46120029
Sheila continues to blush, and Jennifer offers to leave the two of you alone together. Sheila tries to stop her, but Jennifer insists, leaving the two of you alone, and nicely out of earshot. You turn and look up at Sheila, smiling. She sits down in the grass, and gives you a grin.
"Alright then, g-go ahead."
You close your eyes and begin with a few bars, searching for a good pitch. You find a nice spot, and add in lyrics. Your voice, light and pleasant, carries through the air and into Sheila's ears. She seems so happy to be serenaded, even if it's by a boy. It only takes a little transition to change the words a bit, and in a few moments you see the familiar glazed eyes and drooping jaw. You take a step closer, and she does not move. You sing a bit louder. Closer, louder, and closer, and louder, until you are pressed against her ear. She is utterly mindless now, as you reach out and hold her chin.

You tell her there is a man in black armor who lives in a fortress to the south. He would welcome her with open arms. It seems to be rough going down, though, and you have to reinforce it by telling her that Jennifer is trying to pry her and Alex apart out of jealousy. This seems to help, but you can't be sure it's effective until later.
You step back from Sheila and admire your work. You also take a moment to grab a feel on her chest before she snaps out of the daze. Eleven on ten, those.
Sheila eventually comes back to her senses, and reaches up to hold her head. She apologizes for dozing off, and tells you the song was lovely. You thank her, and help her up before leading her back to the others.
Dean did indeed find some tracks leading into the forest, small enough to be a boy's. The group prepare, and enter the woods together, with Alex in the lead. You notice Sheila giving the cold shoulder to Jennifer, and Jennifer doing the same to Alex. It's all falling into place.
You come to a stop eventually, and Alex picks up what looks like a shoe. Likely the boy's. Dean scans the are, and finds something worrying.
"Owlbear droppings. We're on it's hunting ground. If it knew we were here, it'd already be after us, but I don't think it's smart to stick around," he finishes, wiping the dung from his hands on a nearby tree.

You plead with the others to help find the poor, innocent boy lost in the forest. They seem unsure, then cave to their sympathy. Alex rallies the group once more, and asks Dead his advice.
"Judging by the paths through the underbrush, I'm willing to bet he goes three ways from here. On is the rest of the route, the other a watering hole most likely, and of course his den. There's no way to tell which is which though. We should split for now, and see what we can find." The others agree, and decide to split into two groups of three and two.
