Reading is Fundamental [Open]
[Odd as it might seem, the guy with the giant sword spends most of his free time in the library. Roy gets plenty of exercise in class (Fighter College had less rigorous training than the body-strengthening marefs!), and he's long past the point where routine training drills with his blade can do more than keep the rust off. So instead, Roy has devoted himself to acquiring information -- about the world, about the dungeons, about magic, about anything he can get his hands on, in the belief that any piece of information could prove useful in the long term.]
[Given how little knowledge had accidentally fallen into his lap this far, he definitely believes this campaign is one that requires active, independent research rather than one that conveniently hands over facts and helpful plot details in convenient notes and surprisingly-relevant books.]
[So you might have seen him in the library -- yet again -- or perhaps carrying as many books as he's allowed to take out, back to his room.]

[ Merida follows his lead and steals a glance or two at the corridor to ensure that no eavesdroppers lurked nearby before returning her attentions to the conversation at hand. ]
Do you think these magicians may be turning a deaf ear to all our questions on purpose as well?

[Despite her cautions, and his own fairly poor Spot check, Roy also takes a quick glance around before lowering his voice.]
Either they don't know and hate to admit it, or they do know and won't. The only thing that keeps me from ruling out the first one is that I know how much it bothers magic-users to admit they don't know things.

What if I told you that my Rukh's Eye is always open? Granted, I've never actually used it before, but I suppose I'll need to figure it out sooner or later.

[Paranoia? Possibly, but Roy has to consider this sort of thing in making his plans. He is, essentially, taking responsibility for everyone who has been brought here in doing this; the last thing he wants is to endanger anyone without preparation.]
Beyond catching someone cackling to themselves and delivering a villainous monologue, though, I'm not sure what proof we could find either way.

[ Now that Roy mentions it, Merida would not put it past their captors to present their victims with a communication device for the sole purpose of intercepting their messages. ]
In other words, we're on our own if it's answers we want. Fine. I can do that, but I'll have to make it quick.
[ Bring it on, Mangoshutatt. Merida will make things right again at home and there is nothing that you can do to stop her as far as she's concerned :| ]
