(ooc... I'm presuming there is a road to the watch tower. Tandy certainly isn't going to walk there.)
"What do you think? Surely not bandits or barbarians...", Tandy offered.
"Not for me ta know, m'lady." The coachman wasn't paid to think, but a suggestion here wouldn't have hurt.
The interrogator had her own fish to fry... well, to tickle. Still, one was obligated to respond to emergencies. There could be injured needing attention, and one always could make a new friend in the strangest places.
"We have to respond. Head north until we reach the tower."
"But what if it is bandits?" Tandy didn't pay the coachman enough for that either.
She handed the coachman a glass vial filled with a brackish liquid. "This is essence of smoke. If there is trouble, throw it to the ground. There'll be enough smoke to cover an army's escape. Certainly enough for us to make an exit."
Tandy looked at the light again. It winked at her as if to say "Ha! Nothing's easy for you." Boy was it right.
Turning to Rilina, she took a length of cloth and gagged her with it. "I'm sorry, Rilina, but our interview will be delayed a bit longer. Do be patient with me, won't you?"
