[QUOTE="DMDanW, post: 5264913, member: 55230"] As Minharath Gloom and Martelai begin asking their questions, Elder Broda sits back down in his chair and motions for everyone else to have a seat as well. [COLOR=DimGray]"Please sit and I will explain the situation. It began roughly a month ago, when we noticed that the lizard folk had started hunting closer towards our lands than they have ever before. Nothing came of it at first, excpet for many more sightings of the lizardfolk, who are normally quite reclusive and stay in the marshlands except for coming to the village to trade every few months. A few weeks ago they were spotted even closer and stumbled across a few of the outlaying farmsteads. The game they were pursuing fled into a heard of our sheep and in the end some livestock was lost. A skirmish broke out between the hunters and the herders and blows were exchanged. Luckily no one was killed, but now there is great tension amongst a great number of our people and the lizard folk."[/COLOR] He pauses and takes a drink of water before continuing. [COLOR=DimGray]"It was decided that we should send a group of representatives from the village to go speak with the lizardfolk chief and Thom Ogglebottom was amongst those who went. That was well over a week ago and they have not yet returned.
