This was the answer for which Meesei had been searching. This was what tied together the evidence. With Galsek's confession, Meesei expected it to be much easier to get information from Harriet, not to mention what Galsek himself might provide. Once his secret was revealed, he of course started to taunt the others. Meesei largely ignored it, but a few of the others, namely Fendros and Ahnasha, did not. Ahnasha bared her teeth at the Argonian, joining in Fendros' anger.

Meesei looked at the pair calmly. "Vile's servants are manipulators, but his words carry only the power you give them." She commented before looking back down to Galsek. She stopped charging her restoration magic through his skull, then dragged her claws across the side of his face not hard enough to break his scales, but enough that he could feel it. "My words, on the other hand, bear considerably more weight. You are going to tell me everything you know, about your mission here, about Harriet and the deal you struck. I want all of the physical evidence you have, then...you may go. You serve my enemy, but I gave my word, and I shall not break it. Of course, we both know what it going to happen when you return to Vile a failure. He is a fickle master even to his successful followers. Do you expect me to believe he will spare a worm like you? In all likelihood, he will kill you and take your powerful lycan soul...or perhaps not. Perhaps his servants will just kill you as an example and allow your soul to go to its intended destination. Have you ever thought about what that would be like? To have your soul bound for eternity to the Hunting Grounds of the Daedra against which you have waged war? I assure you, your beast spirit is not going to be so easily separated from you. Some lycans have spent their entire lives searching for a cure, fruitlessly. Even if Vile does not kill you, or if you just avoid his followers for the rest of your life, your soul will find its way back to Hircine eventually. So, you can leave here with some supplies after I have what I need, or you can accept an alternative. Serve me. Use the knowledge you have of Vile and his followers in the service of Hircine, and you will find yourself protected by us, instead of hunted by us."

Meesei still believed that Galsek was trying to hide something. In fact, since he admitted he knew and believed that she was in fact the Champion before the fight, she had a very good reason to think he was being deceptive. Already, his story was forming holes. He was already quite obviously afraid, and after she really started to press him, she hoped that fear would force him to come clean.

"My magic may not be able to tell exactly what your lie is, but I know you are attempting to deceive me. Your story's foundation is built upon mud. You just said that you thought I would win because I was the Champion, and you knew of my capabilities. You believed I was the Champion before the trial started, and yet, Harriet's 'defense,' if you can call it that, which she discussed with all of her alphas, including you, was that I was an imposter. They proposed that I, for whatever reason, sought to bring chaos to this clan. And yet, as you just admitted, you believed I was truly the Champion. Not only that, but during my investigation, you decided to convince Caleb that Oswall was the traitor, and prompted him to make an attempt on his life. It was an action intended to cause chaos in the clan, and could have sabotaged my investigation. You are saying you did that, despite knowing I was the Champion. You did nothing to convince Harriet or her alphas that I was the Champion, despite knowing it was true. You managed to get Harriet a ring of reflection in an attempt to kill me, despite knowing I was the Champion. None of those actions suggest you were as innocent as you tried to make yourself appear. I offered, in good faith, to let you go if you answered my questions. No matter who you are, or who you are allied to, I will keep my word, but only if you keep yours. So you need to start explaining. Right. Now. Your motivations, Harriet's motivations. Everything. No more lies, no half-thruths, and I will let you leave this place with all the supplies you need once I have your answers, and am able to search your belongings. You do not want to experience the alternative."

By this point, Meesei was capitalizing on Galsek's fear. She did not shout, and hardly raised her voice at all, but her tone still seemed somehow more menacing. Certainly, she had a talent for conveying emotion without the need for volume.

In your last post, you mentioned him having hammerhead rounds loaded. Which are, like, super-lethal.

Meesei's expression was entirely emotionless, giving no visible reaction on whether or not she believed him. Of course, her next questions would give that away. Even if her magic could not reliably discern a lie, her perceptions and reasoning gave her the hint that he was trying to deceive her in at least some form.

"I think there is more to it than that, Galsek. Harriet was known to be perhaps the best fighter in this very large clan. Our battle was not easily fought, and she did nearly kill me. But me, you knew nothing about me. You did not know how strong of a mage I was, or how capable a fighter. You could have learned that I was a mage, but with that ring of hers, it would be very reasonable to believe she could kill me. So, how could you know that she would lose? If anything, my victory should have been just as much of a surprise to you. I was heavily on the defensive until I transformed, and I believe I remember Janius running off before that. Perhaps if you actually believed I was the Champion, then you might think I would win, but in that case, why would you actively try to sabotage the Champion's investigation? Answer me, Galsek, and answer honestly." She demanded.

So @Andromedai, I think that might be a bit of a cop-out. I'm sure non-lethal rounds are something that exists, but you've not mentioned them before, and it seems rather convenient to suddenly have them. Not to mention, it would be difficult to change ammo types without being noticed.

"She is not dead yet, but yes, it is a guarantee at this point that the traitor will die." Meesei answered. She hoped that Galsek was as much of a coward as she suspected, because if so, she might get the information she needed. Letting him go was a risk, especially if he was actually a servant of Vile, but after a few moments of thought, she deemed it to be worthwhile. After all, Vile's followers might not tolerate failure, so he might expect death from them as well.

Meesei stared into his eyes for a few moments, judging his expression, then crossing her arms and giving a nod. "Agreed, on a few conditions. I want all evidence you may have on your person, in your room, or wherever you have hidden it. We are going to search all of these things regardless, but handing them over willingly will allow you to be released more quickly. You will answer all of my questions to my satisfaction, and only after that will you be released. I will give you appropriate supplies, and then on my honor, I promise we will allow you to leave. If you do not accept this deal, then you will, of course, be held here in a cell for as long as it takes to determine your role in all of this. If you accept, then you can start by telling me why exactly you were trying to flee."

Stepping closer to Galsek, Meesei placed a hand on the side of his head and charged just enough restoration energy into his head to be felt. "Oh, and do not think you will be able to lie to me. There are applications of restoration that allows one to examine the small, involuntary reactions that the body gives when lying." She said, though she of course was bluffing. The techniques she spoke of did indeed exist, but they were not nearly accurate enough to determine for certain if someone was lying. It could give a slight indication one way or another, but not nearly enough to be relied upon. Of course, Meesei had demonstrated that she knew magical techniques that were unknown in Cyrodiil, so it was entirely believable that she could actually do what she described. Galsek had not seen her question any of the suspects in the investigation, so he had no way of knowing that she did not use such techniques. She would be looking for lies, but mostly through more traditional methods.

If I'm understanding you correctly, then probably not. We are sticking reasonably well to lore, so only species that are in the universe. Though, with how many star wars species there are, there is probably one similar to what you want. I'd check Wookieepedia. Message me if you'd like some help.

Certainly. I still need to determine if it is going to continue from here, or reboot, but the concept will still be the same.

On their way to the room Janius was leading them to, Meesei looked down to Sabine and gave a light smile, even as she put her hand over her wounded arm and winced due to the stinging pain. "Honestly, I would be lying if I said I was not, but I will be fine. My body has been through much worse before. I just need time...and perhaps a bath." She said with a slight laugh, as a good portion of her body was still covered in blood. Now that she had a reasonable amount of magicka, she cast a spell over her entire arm to numb the area. On the surface, the wound had been closed and the bleeding stopped, but underneath the scales, the muscles were still damaged.

Once in the room with Galsek, Meesei placed down her belongings in the corner, then approached the bound Argonian. Given the possibility that he was in the service of Vile, she kept her posture strong, and her tone serious. Her battle scars were fresh and bloody, which to some, might seem intimidating. She stared him down, ignoring his protests until he finished speaking. "Harriet is defeated by my hand, and her judgment rendered. After I have the opportunity to appropriately examine and interrogating her, she will face her execution for the murder of Jerrick. No protest was given, even from Harriet's supporters, as they have accepted Hircine's will. And I will say in no uncertain terms that you are suspect as well. You spread misinformation during the investigation, and as Janius tells me, were attempting to escape the ruin during the fight. I have more than enough evidence to suspect you, and after what I have done for this clan, there is no one who will attempt to counter me. So what you are going to tell me, right now, is why you attempted to flee. Unlike Harriet, I have no reason to believe you have killed anyone, so you may yet find leniency for any crimes you have committed if you admit to them. In fact, I promise it." She offered.

Okay, I took a bit of time to think, and I do believe I will continue it. First things first, roll call. @SgtEasy, @Chev, @Rex Piratum, @baskets, @MonkeyBusiness, and @my Lalia, how many of you wish to proceed? I intend to pick up the pace a bit on this.

Second, I need to decide how to actually proceed. I'm not really wanting a reboot, since this has already been rebooted once. Sep didn't have that many long term plans, so I could continue this story just fine. However, if everyone does want to reboot, I would prefer to start at a point where it can be assumed that all of our characters have been through the "meet and greet" phase, since we've already done that.
