Spug after making his conclusion of the ash in Furnok’s room he sees Amora still standing guard at the door keeping curious town folk away from the scene. Spug’s keen eyes see that though Amora seems to be guarding with her usual determination, she appears to stand just a little slower in her reactions as the distraught father of the slain girls tries to get past the Sword of Torm. Having stopped the man and having his friends help him back down to the common room; Amora takes up her post once again. Her eye lids feel like lead sheets ready to slam shut any moment. Spug approaches Amora without her noticing, an unusual thing from the dutiful paladin. “Amora?” says the mage. Amora noticeably startles but tries to best to hide it. “Yes, Spug?”
“You’ve been up all night. Kobort can secure the door way. Why don’t you go to your room and get some rest. I’ll come to get you if anything should happen.”
“Realizing that Spug speaks the truth, she nods and let’s Kobort take her spot and moves down to her room. Barely able to remain conscious she opens the door and enters her room.

Seeing she doesn't even notice that he had drawn the room's heavy curtains shut.
Watching as she strips off her heavy armor letting it fall onto the floor, as she moves onto the bed it I than that she notices the yellow rose laying on the pillow beside her head.
"Busy night I see," his soft voice bringing her to instant attention

Wearing only loose fitting short sleeve tunic and matching pants after shedding her armor, Amora notices the yellow rose upon her pillow and berates herself for not seeing it sooner. Just then she hears a voice she knows and loathes saying, "Busy night I see." Adrenalin pumping, she turns and see the assassin cloaked in the shadows in the corner. Realizing that reaching for her discarded sword would prove a fatal and futile act, Amora puts on a scowl and lowers her arms into a neutral position to not give the assassin reason to place a blade into her heart.
"Do you mind explaining just what you are doing here in my room uninvited, Assassin?"

"After a night like last night, I thought you might like a friend to talk to. After all it's been quite some time since we last spoke."
"Your enemies are growing restless and careless. Baier attacking you all like that was quite foolish, but it was either that or banishment to the nodes for him."
His relaxed manner obvious to her, "I prepared some Calmishian Tea if you would like some. It always helps me relax after a long night's work," motioning towards the end table next to her.
"Are you sure he is innocent?"

"It's not in his nature to commit murder. Besides he has shown no ability to disintergrate a foe." She says, purposefully ignoring the tea. "Even if he physically committed the act, he was most likely enchanted. It wouldn't be the first time for Furnok to fall to an enchanting spell. Now why are you here?"

"Your here, what better reason do I need."
"You know you never ask the questions you really should ask."
"But alas, I think you shall never trust me as long as you continue this mission shall you?"

"Trust is something that I normally give easily until I learn that that trust has been violated. In your case trust is to be earned after your sneak attack on my friend. But if you wish to try to earn my trust, tell me what questions should I be asking?" A cold chill runs down her spine and inspite of herself she crosses her arms in a subconscious act to defend her unarmored self. It has the unfortunate effect of cupping her breasts in the way that stirs men's loins.

"That would be cheating to tell you all the answers. I will say, they are speeding up their plans because of you."
Watching as she adjusts herself sitting there.
"I think it would be a good hint, would to think like I would for once. I never leave one way in or out of somewhere."

"Are you saying you know a secret way into the Temple?" Her over eagerness evident. Quickly followed by a frown, "What will this information costs me?"

"What is it worth to you?" His smile telling in that she guessed correctly.
"Or perhaps you would prefer to know how the murders took place last night. I could always find that out instead.
"Or perhaps you would like me to never take another job again."

"You know as well as I that a Sword of Torm is duty bound to do anything for something as small as a friend in trouble or as great as saving lives of hundreds if not thousands. If you are able to help me save Furnok and or defeat those that would bring the horror of the Temple of Elemental Evil in to power, I would be duty bound to atleast here your proposal and the cost. No matter how unsavory your price may be, I would pay it if I could if it could bring about a greater good, no matter the personal cost to me." The unwavering honesty evident in her determined little speech.

"Well which would you prefer, your friend freed or a way back into the temple they won't suspect you of knowing."
"They each have their own price, but than again what is gold to me anymore. I have more than I could hope to spend this lifetime and perhaps a next."
Pausing as he looks her over, "I could just demand you, but that isn't want I want either. If you weren't willing, you wouldn't be worth my time or my seed."
"We have time for you to sleep on it, I can keep watch over you if you like. None of their forces will bother you while I watch you."
Seeing the dubious look she is giving him, "I'm a man of my word, no harm will befoul you while you sleep today. If you wish me to watch over you."

“First, I would know your price for each so that I may carefully weigh my options. Secondly, I would prefer to rest alone, but you may linger around the inn if you feel you must be near when I rouse.”
