[QUOTE="Leif, post: 6181494, member: 48762"] Ghavdrash does do some schmoozing, and he seems to get good, honest responses, but the sad fact remains that no one really seems to know what happened, or else they just can't face the horror of it all for long enough to bring any degree of rational thought to bear on the mystery. So, while he gets many heartfelt expressions of true sympathy, and a few statements of: [color=lightgreen]'If I can do anything, anything at all, just let me know,'[/color] most of which he suspects absolutely cannot be relied upon at face value, but a few of which at least [i]seem[/i] sincere, even if the speakers may not have known what they could have been getting themselves into. The inescapable conclusion is that no one here has any good explanation of [i]what[/i] actually happened, let alone [i]why[/i] it happened. They sympathize with you as much as they are able to do and still remain ensconced in their simple little lives, but they really cannot grasp at all what has come to pass here, nor, you suspect, do they really wish to do so. [Each of the other characters has experiences similar to the above.] [OOC: On to the Green Star Inn, then? Oh, wait! Each of you did receive at least one or two invitations to spend the night (maybe a little longer than that?) at the homes of various nobles and dignitaries. Or you can head to the Green Star.
