Talk to the slave.

You try to talk to the slave. ?What is your name friend?? You get no response.

?I mean you no harm, I just want to chat?, you continue to try.

The slave remains quiet.

?Can you even speak??

Again, he doesn?t response or even look at you.

?Hmm, what is with this place?, you mutter to yourself.

?He isn?t allowed to speak? the redheaded guardsman final speaks in the common tongue with a heavy Northman accent. ?He only speaks when the judge allows.?

?So why are you here Northman?? You inquire of the only one willing to talk.

?To keep an eye on you and to receive my reward?, he answers.

?Reward?? You ask.

?Yeah, it was my plan that lead to your capture, Bandit of Northrock.? He looks at you with barbaric lust. ?So the judge has promised me a special reward.?

As you ponder how to respond you hear the door behind you open. The guard straightens up while the slave nods in submission.
