Zakkoth keep a straight face, until Chantily talk. He look disturbed. "Dont test the omens. It is not the time." and walk, keeping the rear of the group

"Deal!" - she says to Henry, after all she was sure there would have been plenty of interesting things inside the citadel. - "Don't worry, no omen will be tested...yet!" - she assures Zakkoth, before hopping forward.

Since the statues seem pleased enough by their answer, Henry walks inside the Citadel and starts looking around, unsure where to go and what to do now that they final got access to the enemy stronghold.

The party steps into a large courtyard enclosed with walls of solid stone. Another courtyard partially overhangs this one. It is held aloft by sweeping arches that soar to a height of over 100 feet. Doors with iron hinges lead to various outbuildings (stables to the north, barracks to the south, and a scullery to the southeast) and the main keep on the far side of the courtyard from the gate towers. Further is an opening in one wall that leads to a spiral staircase leading up to the upper courtyard.

"Hmm.. Where to go next? Usually people in power like to live in the upper side of things, so I think if we want to find Rezmir we should go to the upper courtyard!" - Chantilly concludes.

"Well. We could also try a different approach." Henry says with a shrug "Instead of wandering around aimlessly, we could ask someone where to find Rezmir. We could say that Talia has sent us with a message - which is actually the truth." the squire gestures at the upper courtyard, shaking his head "I mean, I fear that if we poke around without knowing where to go exactly, we're going to blunder sooner or later."

"But wandering around aimlessy is way more fun than your solution..." - Chantilly says, before glancing at the towers: "Unless your solution involves talking with the ogres. Now, that could be interesting!"

"Hmm, talking to the ogres wouldn't be interesting," Eliana says as she looks around. "I like Henry's idea. It is pretty straight forward."

"Those look like barracks." the squire points at the building to the south "We might find someone there, I believe." he says a bit concerned, then Henry sighs and tries to pat Chantilly on the head "I agree it would be interesting talking to those ogres. But I believe we should keep a low profile at the moment. Besides, after our meeting with Rezmir I'm quite sure things are going to turn really, really, really interesting for us." Henry says with a somewhat amused grin "I would really appreciate if you could be a bit...uhm, 'boring' until we meet Rezmir. As a favour to me?"

Zakkoth also try to convince Chantily. "Look, Rezmir is the.. main character here. And trust me, I have talked with ogres before- but people like Rezmir are rare"

"Fine, fine!" - Chantilly says, a bit frustrated by also but also intrigued by Henry's promise of things getting interesting. - "Oh, really?" - she then asks Zakkoth. - "I always wanted to talk to an ogre! They have the most interesting backstory! Did you know they used to be really nice and smart and beautiful? And then they became a bunch of rude and ugly doofus, allegedly. Do smart ugly ogres exist? Are there himbo ogres? Are attractiveness, one's moral compass and intelligence related? Those are the kind of questions I'd like to ask them."

"Wouldn't they get a little mad if you started to ask them if they use to be beautiful or not?" Eliana asks curiously. She motions for Henry to lead the way. "I'm sure they have their standards of beauty just like we do."

Chantilly rubs her chin pensively: - "That's a fair point, I wouldn't want to offend their feelings. Hmm... I need to think of a better way to ask these questions..." - she says, as she become lost in thought.

Henry leaves Chantilly and Zakkoth to their conversation and walks towards the barracks, looking for a door or other opening to see if there's someone inside and inquiry about the whereabouts of Rezmir; he wonders what kind of soldiers he's going to find (if any) and how to approach them - last time didn't go very well...
