The otherworldly voice of the spirit is more a whisper, difficult to hear over the rustling of the leaves and branches, but to anyone on the clearing it seesm like it is speaking more to their minds than to their ears. "The land is soiled and the old rites undone. The Taint is spreading as long...

"A priest from the temple near our village came hear last week and tried to sanctify the area again. Probably would help if you did, too, i think." says Kairan, his voice still a little shaken from what he is seein here. Then he looks at you to await your decision whether to go to the village or...

"Sure, no problem, mylady." says the villager. "We shoud be ready in about half an hour." After having finished their breakfast, the peasants begin to load their carts outside the inn, leaving you alone with the innkeeper and his daughters.

"Hopefully", the innkeeper says with a sigh. " But on the other hand you would have a chance to observe these bandits firsthand then, wouldn't you? But they probably won't come out of the wooodwork just for a grop of travellers, so you should indeed have no problems." "If you want to go back to...
