Allea's Point of View:
I grabbed the innkeeper by the neck.
"I told you, I'm looking for a Moth Priest. What do you know?"
Serana looked around nervously, because what I was doing could be considered assault.
"I swear to you, I don't know anything about any Moth Priests," Corpulus choked out.
"Let me try," Serana said.
I lowered him.
"Good sir, I apologize for my companion's behavior. I believe you when you say you don't know about any Moth Priests. But I do believe you know where there is one."
"Excuse me?"
"You may have seen him, and not known he was a Moth Priest. He would probably be an Imperial? Perhaps white robes?"
"Ah, yes, I do know who you are referring to. He said he was heading to Dragon Bridge, if that helps. Not sure why, though. Now get out, before I call the guards on you," the innkeeper said, rubbing his neck.
We walked outside.
"Sometimes, diplomacy works better than force."
"I admit, in this case, your...tact worked better than my approach," I told her, "now, let's get to Dragon Bridge, shall we?"
We traveled to Dragon Bridge.
"Let's talk to that kid over there. Sometimes, kids know things adults don't."
We headed to the kid.
"Hey, kid. Can I ask you a question," I said, kneeling in front of him.
"Sure. What?"
"Know anything about a Moth Priest?"
"I don't know what a Moth Priest is, but I did see an old man in a robe not long ago. He was riding in a wagon with some Imperial guards. They didn't stop to visit, though. They rode through town heading south, and went across the big bridge. It was only just a little bit ago. I bet you can catch them if you hurry."
"Thank you, young man."
"Hey, ladies, what are you doing talking to my son?"
"Just asking him a question about a guy who passed through here not long ago. We're done now anyway."
The Redguard nodded.
"Just...I don't like strangers talking to my children without me or my wife present."
"I understand. My apologies. We'll just be on our way now."
We headed south, and soon came upon a wrecked wagon. There was a single corpse. Searching it, I found a note, penned by a Malkus. The note read:
I have new orders for you. Prepare an ambush just south of Dragon Bridge. Take the Moth Priest to Forebear's Holdout for safekeeping until I can break his will
-Malkus
"Blast it. Do you have any idea where we can find Forebear's Holdout?"
"Yes, I do. Actually, it's southeast of Dragon Bridge."
"Where exactly?"
"I don't know exactly..."
We wandered around the area until finding a cave.
"That's it. That's Forebear's Holdout."
"Let's go in, shall we?"
