Sesmar had been listening very closely to all the plans being made and discussions of how they could uncover the truth of what happen last night. Coming from a peaceable life, Sesmar was not extremely knowledgeable in the ways of war and warfare, these things he figured were best left to those that new them best; however, when the others had come to the conclusion that Rahlard’s assailant was either him or Aleksi, he could not sit back and watch any longer. Rising to his feet, Sesmar said, “I agree with Aleksi, the evidence does seem to point to one of us. Separating us seems, to me, to be the best option we have. Of course we could try examining the stones around each of our bunks; however, anyone of us could have easily taken a stone from next to a different bed so as to cover our tracks.”

"No Sesmar I don't think that would be the case, if the assailant had been disturbed he would not have had a chance to clean up much less try to throw suspicion off." Diego smiled thinking he had the answer. "we should search again near where Aleksi and Sesmar slept. "I believe the reason Rahlard still lives is that he was never intended to be killed. Not that the were-daedra would not like that, but I think they wanted to cast suspicion in all our minds so that we might set upon each other like wild dogs.Diego went on explaining his thoughts. "I believe that whichever bunk is found evidence that is him. One last thing Rahlard says he might be able to dispel the enchantment might one of you have a potion or spell for that?

Rahlard coughs. "I think there is no question that the blow was meant to kill me. But I am under the protection of the good daedra and so am harder to kill than might be thought. What was meant to happen was I would die and you would believe it was someone from outside. As such there would have been no need to put the blame on another. Well, that is my belief. I suspect there was a much simpler reason why the weapon was replaced and that Diego is right. Wherever it is found to be closest to is probably the culprit. In the absence of ever knowing with certainty it is my best suggestion. Yet you needs must get on or the hosts of Oblivion will succeed in what they are trying to do."

There was a little too much talking and hypothesizing now for Oroko's taste. The next course of action couldn't be simpler: check the stones in the wall by the beds of the two suspects. While the others debated and said their piece, Oroko stepped over the piles of pillows, sheets, and mattresses he had made in his earlier search and walked over to Aleksi's bunk, and Sesmar's. He leaned forward and closely examined the stones, moving his hands over them to feel which ones might be more loose than the others.

One of the stones comes away from the wall. Behind it are any objects stolen and an empty vial of poison. Awkwardly Oroko does not know which of the two slept in that bunk as he had tipped everything onto the floor earlier. He would have to ask them.

[Peregrine]

As Oroko searched, Aleksi very obviously only watched, doing nothing to disturb the evidence. Though he had heard the claim that the assassin was an unwilling one, he wanted to avoid any impression that he was covering his actions.

[dlsaint]

As Oroko apparently found what they were looking for, Diego moved to cover Oroko and casually shifted his stance in case action was needed. 'Whose bunk is this?" sternly asked Diego.

[Emperor Justin]

"I know that the attacker has no recollection of the attack, but surely you two can remember where you slept? Well, which one of you slept here?" Oroko asked, raising a quizzical eyebrow at Aleksi and Sesmar.

Nell noticed Oroko abruptly walk over to the wall mentioned in the talk. Finally someone was taking some kind of action. He watched dirt and mud fall away from the wall as Oroko methodically felt his way around the wall. Then Oroko stopped.
"What is it Oroko?" Nell asked. "Did you find something?" Even as he asked the question, a piece of the wall crumbled to the ground revealing the missing items and something else. It looked like poison. But whose bunk was it located next to? The place was messier than a Skamp's den. Only one person could answer that question.

"No, I don't need potions to lower my libido," Antehelios replied to the question posed by Rahlad. "I umm... work best when I can channel my frustrated passions into something else, like slitting the throat of the traitor amongst us." He had heared all the arguments regarding their situation, and he had seen the evidence that had been found and presented to the group. He also thought about the proposals regarding assaulting the prison complex itself. He liked the idea of a stealthy assault, but that would mean fully trusting the men with him to not kill the others with them, something unlikely with a traitor in their midst. Frankly, he liked the idea of putting a sword to both their throats, and letting Akatosh sort them out, but that's not viable since they need all the men they can spare, though he did consider that perhaps a threat to his life would bring the traitor out in the open....

"Alright then," Antehelios continued, "You heard Oroko's question... Who slept in that bed and has been a very bad man?" he asked with a wicked smile on his face. "You have much to answer for..."
