Arcanis: The Spear of the Lohgin

[Argent Silvermage]

(OOC: Blockader7 That's so good. I love the way he talks!)

Gideon stops in front of the hostel. "Well it's been a bit of a ride and I'm not used to land travel, What say we get some food and information at the Inn?"

 

[GnomeWorks]

"If you must rest and eat, Gideon, then do as such." Visha says irritably. "I will seek the information we require... though I presume at least one of you will want to acccompany me."

He smiles. "Though I highly suspect that none of you will appreciate my ways of attaining information... fear is a useful tool, after all."

Just as a side note, concerning my animal companion, I'm assuming that I left him out in the countryside for now?

OOC: Thanks Argent. It isn't easy though.

"As the bird flies, it too must come to it's perch."

"There are times that fear is appropriate. Now is not one of those times. Lets see what we can find out with just speaking with the people of the village." Gideon's black eyes scan the villagers and he walks up to a man and asks, "Good sir, What can you tell me about the illness that sweapt through your town?"

 

[Blockader7]

Whispers to Gideon:

"We might find that out at their local church."

And points at the tower.

(OOC I assume the bird stayed out of town, I'm sure it can fend for itself in the wilderness quite well. Hopefully it won't go after too much livestock...)

The man stops and looks at Gideon. "Well, it came suddenly, about a week ago. No one ever saw a sickness like this one- the skin grew boils and rotted on the bone, and fever struck down even the strongest man. Those who were infected almost always died within a day or two. I know of none who survived. The priests helped those they could, but they were unable to save them.

"Whatever it was, it seems to have burnt itself out- the last victim died a couple of days ago, and no new cases have been reported. Close to a hundred died during the time. This includes the knight-protector, Sir Lohgin, and most of his men. They were the hardest hit, many folk think that the plague began with them. But they have not travelled recently, so none knows how they could have been infected in the first place."

"Thank you kind sir. We have been sent by the Duke to see if we can find the cause of this disease. We are in your debt." Gideon says. Returning to the group he says "Visha's idea has merrit after all. Why don't Visha and Cadwyn go to the priests and Solonir and I will see out the Knight-Protector's home?"

 

[Blockader7]

"So the oxen draws the cart. Perhaps to return at the place they started, waiting for the freight."

And with that saaid Cadwyn nods and heads over to the local church.

"This is not entirely what I had in mind, warrior," Visha says, "but I will do as you direct, though I despise priests..."

With that, the druid draws up his cloak, and walks after Cadwyn.

Gideon Walks toward the home of the Lord-Protector and says to Solonir,"I hope I haven't started trouble by asking Visha to speak to the priests."
