Gromgard nodded at Mamoru. [color=f1f101]"She's done most of the work so far."[/color] he said, reaching to pat her shoulder. [color=f1f101]"She's much smarter and stronger than she looks."[/color] He was truly proud of the work they did together, though knew he didn't do nearly as much as she did... yet...

Not long after that, Light walked in. Rodias ended up giving each of them some gold, which Gromgard was grateful for, before asking about some paintings for the chateau. [color=f1f101]"I'm sure they would love to paint something for you."[/color] Gromgard smiled in reply before bowing and taking his leave.

He made a quick stop by the large room where they were called to before their quests. He left the map the artists had made on their way back to the chateau on the table with his own message. [i]Important Area: Cultist Activity[/i]

He then returned to his quarters. He first thought about going to bed but he wasn't tired. He decided to stop by Penn and Shill to tell them about Rodais' request and to give them their gold. The pair was all too happy to make art for the chateau. While thinking of it, Gromgard grabbed the painting he'd stashed earlier to return to the artists.

He then went into his torture room. [color=f1f101]"Glad to see you're awake."[/color] he smirked, grabbing a whip. [color=f1f101]"I know one of you have already told my companion some information but you have more you can tell us. You saw how I dealt with your companions. We can do this the easy way or the hard way."[/color] He cracked the whip in the air before looking at the three captured cultists. [color=f1f101]"If what you tell me is valuable enough, you might gain your freedom."[/color] He laughed evilly before aiming to whip each of them across their chests.
