Swamped

You need to hide. Unfortunately, the hallways tend to be rather lacking in things to hide behind, and this particular hall is where the interrogation rooms are. And they're locked.

Your best bet is to slip around the nearest corner, and hope they don't come this way. If they do... well, you can always try knocking out the light again, you suppose.

As they approach, you hear them talking.

"I told you the whole deal stank to begin with. Maybe next time, you'll listen to me before it goes sour."

Suddenly, you hear their footsteps stop. Seems they've decided to stay and talk.

"They haven't launched another attack. I think they might just be making a heavyhanded play for my attention."

"And that kind of grandstanding alone isn't reason enough to tell them to get lost? Or are you just too worried about the leverage they have over you?"

"You should be worried, too. You're in this as deep as I am."

"A year ago, that was true. But you just keep digging yourself deeper. I'm not even sure you can get me my shot at the grebling."

"You'll get your revenge, Roxley. I'll see to it. If we can just keep Burgundy out of the way tonight, and negotiate a little show with our partner, I'll have the vote locked down."

"And if any of the other officers finds out what you've done, even that bootlicker Dominick, we'll both get kicked out of the Bogknights entirely. And then you go back to having nightmares about the swamp, and I'm back to having no way to cover my Guild debts."

Nightmares? Wait, does she mean the call of the swamp? You've heard some knights who resisted the call for years started to suffer for it. Is Ash one of them?

"All the more reason to make the most of our resources. Yes, it's risky, but if all goes well, this could mean the end of our troubles."

There's a long pause before Roxley speaks again.

"Hells, I guess I'm in. We're screwed anyways if they really have turned on us, so may as well chance it. Not like they can screw us even worse if we talk."

"I wish you'd be more positive, but I suppose I'll take what I can get. Now, let's move."

They move on, thankfully not taking any notice of you as they pass the intersection. When they're gone, you turn to Erin.

"Do you know what that was about?"

"Not really. Ash doesn't tell us that much, only gives us orders and that's about it. I didn't even know Roxley was involved until just now."

"It sounds like he's trying to contact someone. Someone really sketchy. Maybe we should go after him."

Erin looks skeptical.

"Wherever he's going, he's probably going to get a very loyal squad to stand guard. And they probably won't accept a password at all. Maybe if we had more backup, but I wouldn't chance it myself."

"We could still see where he's going."

"Hmm. Well, your call. But don't we still have to meet with this Grey or whoever? Well, not that I know why we are."

She's got a point, you suppose. It's time to think about what you should do next.
