Auriel thought about Cole's words, especially that Reyla had gathered only a small following. She was never too keen on this task from the king, and the information of Reyla not having a large group of bandits with her seemed... strange. Auriel couldn't shake the feeling that things were going too well. Bandits followed the strongest of the bunch, and preying on another bandit tribe's hunting grounds was a quick way to die. There is no way that Reyla could maintain such a fearsome reputation and be able to raid targets of the size she is reputed for. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow][b]"We should at least try to scout the area ahead so we have a better idea what we're dealing with. I don't mean to impose, but... This is all seeming too simple for somebody with a reputation like Reyla's."[/b][/color]

Auriel was also nervous by what Cole meant about getting information from a bandit captive. [color=lightgoldenrodyellow][b]"You're not going to interrogate him are you? Such things are cruel... And if Reyla does indeed have a small group, then they're no doubt fiercely loyal. I can't expect them to give up the truth. We'd be far more likely getting information they'd know we want to hear, and be lead into an even worse trap-"[/b][/color] Auriel stopped herself and bit her lip.

[color=lightgoldenrodyellow][b]"I'm sorry... I am overstepping my bounds. The decision is yours to make..."[/b][/color] she said to the two heroes. Auriel took a deep breath and let it out slowly, [color=lightgoldenrodyellow][b]"I trust you both to make the right decision. And I will follow regardless."[/b][/color]
