Silver Misthollow is many things. A sheriff, a father, a husband, and a Battle Master. One thing he was not, was a politician. He did the best he could not to interfere in the council or his wife's work
However, sometimes it was unavoidable. Magic was illegal in Ardival and part of Silver's job to detain those caught without a license. One particular case was the cause of a lot of controversy. A lizardfolk named Sharpjaw was discovered at a ritual site. The others were arrested and sent to prison, but Sharpjaw was kept at the jail for question. Silver knew there was more to him than was known, so he wanted that Lizardfolk to stay there so he could get answers from him
That was where you came in. Your name is Talron Dragonheart. Third Seat on the Lero Council. Representative of Lizardfolk, Kobolds, and Dragonborn rights and a Rune Knight among other things. You want to free the Lizardfolk and give him a lawful trial, so you decide to take Silver out to the hot springs, something you often did with him when the opportunity presented itself. You were close friends, since most your policies helped him get to where he was
As the you strip down next to Silver, he turned to you and speaks
"I'm not going to release him, Tal."
