Minny eyes Captain Barakas and gives a scoff, "Mercenary eh?" she says with a quick cackle. "Well Captain, I will be happy to reward you for finding my Pell." Minny says with a crooked grin.
"But, Minny that coin..." the constable starts to say, but the old bird just holds up a wrinkled hand to forestall any objection.

"Thank you," the constable says to Talin, Niklos, and Cyan before turning to the inquisitive Terry and gathering everyone in close. "Pell is twelve and tall for her age. She wears her hair short and dresses usually in a shirt and breeches. If she was off 'adventuring' she may be wearing a gray tabard over her shirt. It has a unicorn embroiled on the front in red thread. She'll also have a wooden sword with her."
He looks to Minny who just nods with nothing to add, new worry coming to her face at the delay.
Continuing the constable gives the group directions to Sevond's Tomb. "Take The Long Road north about eight miles, the woods will thicken around you, and then look for a game trail to your right. The trail doesn't lead directly to the tomb, but it does go near enough that you should be able to see the hill it is built into. And in answer to your question sir," the constable says to Niklos, but turns to make sure he has everyone's attention. "Lord Sevond was a baron in these parts a hundred years ago. Why his ghost haunts these lands is a mystery, but even as a ghost he is still an honorable soul. Do not provoke him and he will not harm you. Be circuitous and he may answer a question or two for you."
"Good Luck," he says before turning to help Minny away back to her home.
