[QUOTE="Systole, post: 6338267, member: 93930"] The old fishwife nods. [COLOR=#ffa07a]"I'll answer your questions, but I'd not have the boy stay in a house that reeks of death. We'll take him down to the town proper and get him squared away, and I'll have a runner sent for the priest."[/COLOR] There seems to be nothing left in the house of any significant value -- or potential for evil -- although it definitely needs at good airing out at the very least. Gemma manages to get Davel to his feet and walking toward town. His eyes are glassy and the boy is clearly in shock. He mumbles occasionally, and you're able to make out a few snatches of sense. [COLOR=#008000]"... took my nets to wrap him in ..." "... the dagger, the dagger ..." "... secrets ... too many ... teaching me ... don't want to know, don't want to know, don't want to know ..."[/COLOR] Gemma eventually gets him to bed, then brings you to her house and sits you down around her table. She takes an earthenware jug out of the cellar, offers a cup or everyone, and pours herself a generous measure of moonshine to calm her nerves.
