[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 5718788, member: 18333"] 7th Session Grimgold, Karyak, Xaxis and Geyorg woke up early the next morning, and headed down to the tap room of the inn. Downstairs, Pria, Garn and Scarl cleaned and prepared for a new day, but the party noticed an old man sitting nervously at a table, looking up at them, and looking away, looking back and away. After a few seconds, the old man sat up and shuffled toward the adventurers, groaning with aches and pains of age. Karayk greeted the old man in a friendly manner, and the old man told the group that he was Vincent Gander, a shop owner in town. He wore a leather apron, his hands were warn and bent showing signs of a lifetime of craftsmanship.

Vincent told the group that he heard about some new adventurers who had come to town so he decided to seek their help. He went on to tell the party that something strange was in his basement storeroom. He was too frightened to stay and determine what it was, but he was hoping that the party search the storeroom for him. Karyak felt that the old man was telling the truth, but he could definitely sense that the old man was very nervous. With the zombie attack of last night fresh on their minds, and Lady Saterly’s request from the night before percolating, the group decided to follow Vincent to his store and see what he was so nervous about.
