Rin facepalms as he usually does. "Thats not a good Idea. I would explain why but that could take a while. Lets just say there isn't enough air in there for him and leave it at that."
Rin pats hit whip then get a disgusted look on his face and wipes his hand on Toede. "Either of those options would probably end in a horribly slow and or painful death. I vote against slow torturous deaths... For the most part anyway."
Grinning he moves over to Nine. "Besides he has to live with the image of his friend being castrated in such a manor. That and the knowledge that if he comes back the same fate awaits him. Except he would have to live like that. There would be no mercy killing, as he would live... most likely."

Also Nine to give you a heads up - if you feel this is what Nine would do as a character feel free to continue with this, I consider it to be good role playing  .... however bear a few things in mind 1) I as a DM will never punish players for letting a prisoner go free... it's unfair of me to do that to players given what I'm about to say next, the prisoner will either hide away and not tell ANYONE,good or bad guy, not a single soul about anything that just happened... or, given time, the bad guy might actually have a change of heart and start working on your side  ..... 2) if you're a PC of good alignment killing prisoners, even evil ones, is a no-no ... though it sounds like you're already aware of this since you mentioned Toede either goes into the bag of holding or gets turned over to the town authorities ... do bear in mind your earlier successful sense motive check however Nine, you get the feeling toede is telling the truth when he says he's going to crawl into a hole and not tell ANYONE, whether the dragonarmies or anyone else, what happened today and you also get the feeling he's telling the truth when he says the local town (Solace and any other local town for that matter ) authorities are already - quite possibly to their sorrow later on - cooperating with the dragonarmies and will simply forward anything you tell them on to said dragonarmies Nine clearly looks dismayed at the fantastical stories and realizes there are problems greater in the world than even his own past. Clearly this looked to be the truth. He wipes the dumbfounded look of his face and grabs the toad by his arm. " Clearly there is no way we let this pig bred frog to walk away from this. He knows to much and knows who we are. If we were not skilled in the use of our swords look what he would have had done to us! Its to the bag of holding or to the towns folk with him, WITHOUT question! "

"I swore him protection, old friend. You know I never break my word. We will find a place for him to hide out and live his days." Eolaer looks back at Toede
"And when we find such a place you are to start anew. If you do anything, and I mean anything, underhanded or treacherous, you will be turned over to this towns guard for their justice. Am I clear, Toede?"

"You are quick to offer protection to a murderer and rapist, too quick. He should be brought to justice whether by our hands or someone elses."

(glad to see mikker0 on the forum given he warned me he'd be busy - and I do love the fact that we've got all the players participating on this thread now, from the DM's point of view that's freakin' awesome ! ... one thing to bear in mind mikker0 given that you are playing a Good aligned PC... bear in mind what I said earlier on the forum - no matter how vile or repulsive the prisoner is, killing or even maiming a prisoner is (DM's ruling) a violation of the whole good alignment thing... I love the moral outrage on Reika's part and she may very well talk about killing him or castrating him or what not just to make Toede sweat  but actually following through on it would be something else entirely ) ... " I understand I understand, thank you for not killing me or taking my dick or my balls " frantic look to Rin and his whip as he says this " No I won't do anything underhanded or treacherous I swear ... how could I ? I'm going to spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder ... the dragonarmies will want to kill me after I told you what I did and I SAW what you did to my warriors " Toede babbles agreement with Eolaer, nervous sweat pouring anew off his brow as he looks at Reika... he knows his orders to take her for "questioning" along with Daemy must still be fresh in the beautiful wizardess's memory " I swear miss I won't give anyone any more trouble, please , don't burn me alive " Toede pleads with her on his knees.. the flames in the trees around her are slowly dying out , reminders of the enormous ball of fire Reika launched in the fleeing Toede's direction during the earlier battle. (again bear in mind your sense motive roll results are still active and they were all successes ... for anyone who rolled once again you get the feeling Toede has been telling the truth far as everything and anything he's said this entire time ) " And no need to find me a hidey-hole, if you tell me hide somewhere I'll hide there, otherwise I can find one on my own, either way is fine whatever you prefer " blubbers Toede. (and big DOH on my part, earlier on Adam was referring to the dream he, Eolaer and Nine had about the warrior in the red scale armor riding on a dragon enslaving the world and talking about the return of Takhisis .... the red-scaled warrior breaks the blue crystal staff in the dream , leading to his success in taking over Krynn... I mentioned this on our first FG game session ) " Oh.... the warrior in the red scale armor " Toede realizes in his panicked fear he forgot one of Adam's questions... " That's Verminaard .. head of the red dragon army , so that's why he has the red scaled armor...don't mess with him ! He rides the BIGGEST out of all the red dragons, Ember.. and even without his dragon Verminaard could kill you all ! He's Takhisis's high preist here on Krynn right now... he can touch you and make you get a sword thrust right through your gut - except you don't see the sword ! Or he can make this ghost-kind-of-mace appear in thin air and crush your skull ! He prays to the Dark Goddess and these demons and devils appear... sometimes they're beautiful women-things he has sex with ...and he makes us sit there and watch and pray they don't eat us, I've seen them eat members of the dragonarmies who fail them after Verminaard and whatever he summoned does the deed.... and don't even get me started on what Ember does to his victims.. did you know he likes men too? That dragon can turn into a big strong... I can't talk any more of it, it's too horrible " .... Toede has turned even paler than before , his eyes looking far away into the distance as he relives the horrible memories.... " You want justice for me ?" Toede says frantically to Reika , a tinge of bitter humor in his voice " There you have it .. I have to worry about THAT happening to me if the dragonarmies ever get word of what I told you !! "

Silvanesti
The list of conquered countries finally penetrates... one name most of all.
A nightmarish flashback of a previous love turned to the tragedy that still haunts his every waking day, his very first in all aspects... murdered right before his eyes .... her whispered conversations to him in the hay after lovemaking of the wonders of her homeland... what has happened to it?
Eolaer snaps back to the present, his gaze returning to the prisoner.

" Very well my friends! "
Nine states apprehensively.
" But if we encounter this thing again riding the back of a giant flying snake, breathing lighting upon us, are demise will end in a, I told ya so. "
Before climbing back into his penthouse loft, Nine shoots Toadie the glare of no refute.
" Be advised Mr. Frog to do as my friends say because one thing is for sure, If I need to find you, no matter where you go, I will. "

Rin gets a sly look on his face. "I've figured out a punishment for him if you still want to punish him."
Chuckling Rin looks down at Toede once more. "A very fitting punishment, a very horrible punishment. Would you like to know what it is?"

It was part of the dream you sent us the other day. "Have you ever seen a warrior dressed in red, reptile-scale armor adorned with a horned helm? Is this the type of 'dragon' you speak of?" |

"Absolutely. We should speak to the non-seeker authorities about this in Solace.
I recommend Toede should be left in the care of non-ssekers in Solace with our recommendations on punishment. But their judgment is their decision, not ours."
We must warn our allies in Solace to evacuate immediately. And we must keep it quiet. I believe our friendly barkeeper - Otik - is the key. He will know who to tell and who not to tell."Adam looks to Rin. "What do you advise as punishment, Rin?"Nine clearly looks dismayed at the fantastical stories and realizes there are problems greater in the world than even his own past. Clearly this looked to be the truth. He wipes the dumbfounded look of his face and grabs the toad by his arm. " Clearly there is no way we let this pig bred frog to walk away from this. He knows to much and knows who we are. If we were not skilled in the use of our swords look what he would have had done to us! Its to the bag of holding or to the towns folk with him, WITHOUT question! "

Rin nods. "Yes he would. However the people here won't leave just because Otik tells them to. For that matter Otik my not believe us."
Rubbing the underside of his beak he gives a sigh. " Just think how skeptical the rest of you are about the army. What do you think an entire town would think? Even if I told them it might not matter."
Rin chuckles. "I was kidding about that. He said he was afraid of the dragon who like men."
Smiling at Adam him give a quick glance to Toede. "If we were to punish him, I would suggest we find a big man who like men and hand Toede over to him. Saying some thing like. "Toede here loves other men as well and we thought you two were a perfect match." Anyway it was only a dirty joke."

Nine shouts down from the tree, while whittling a splint of wood.
" I dont think we should ask anyone in town, because once we start asking question that coincide with news this important, either A. they will think we are crazy or B. the information will get to the wrong people and those people will assuredly wanna speak with us. I dont want to speak with those people directly, thats for sure. We need to find out where this Toad was sent from and where exactly his boss is. Thats who we need to question next and he wont even know we are coming. Just the way I like it. "

Rin seems to get a thought as he raises his claw before it drops. "You know I had a witty retort, but now I'm just gonna say this. And what if the person who sent him is say the knight he talked about or someone in the middle of that army."

"Regardless of what happens to Toede, " Adam gives Rin a stern look, "The townspeople need to be warned, preferably without the seekers being informed. I still think Otik could be a good sense of character for who we should tell. At least he should be warned to allow him to escape.
We can't let innocents die in this attack. Let the seekers defend Solace from their 'friends'."

.... however bear a few things in mind 1) I as a DM will never punish players for letting a prisoner go free... it's unfair of me to do that to players given what I'm about to say next, the prisoner will either hide away and not tell ANYONE,good or bad guy, not a single soul about anything that just happened... or, given time, the bad guy might actually have a change of heart and start working on your side 
..... 2) if you're a PC of good alignment killing prisoners, even evil ones, is a no-no ... though it sounds like you're already aware of this since you mentioned Toede either goes into the bag of holding or gets turned over to the town authorities 
but actually following through on it would be something else entirely
