He uncovered the sack and pocketed the key. Next stop was the bank. A few coins had been donated to Father Demby last night, but there were still plenty left.As Bartol exited the bank an angry gnome met him."Where do you think you are going?" Timmay asked. "And if you don't want to cluck like a chicken every time your name is mentioned, where's my pack?"Bartol handed Timmay the key. "I thought you wouldn't be up yet," he said sheepishly. "I gave Bernedette your pack. So I could carry you."Timmay turned and headed back to the inn. Bartol hurried to catch up.Bernedette and Thane were not around. Marcus of Tyr sat enjoying a large breakfast."Come. Join me," Marcus of Tyr offered. "It seems our friend the Harvestmaster and his acolytes left earlier than expected. Thane and Bernedette have gone to investigate their rooms."Timmay and Bartol sat down to eat. Many minutes later, Thane and Bernedette appeared. Bernedette returned Timmay's pack."A rancid smell of decaying plant or animal matter was found in the room," Bernedette stated. "I suspect the Harvestmaster was not a worshipper of Chauntea. More likely he followed Malar or some other beast.""Let's go question the goblins," Thane said. "I think we will need to know more before we go back to the Caves. And I also think we should return today."The group rose and went to the find the gaol. Marcus of Tyr vouched for the character of the group. An elf, the castellan's advisor, came with them to act as interpreter and to get more information for the castellan. The hobgoblin proved to be very stubborn. He had a large paw print tatooed on his chest. He proudly admitted slaying humans, dwarves, and elves. Marcus of Tyr summarily executed him for his confession. The advisor was taken back a little by this act, but he understood. Afterwards, one of the goblins was more than happy to spill the beans.Marcus of Tyr pledged to release the goblin and his tribesmen if he could convince the chieftain to stop raiding the surrounding communities. The goblin agreed to act as a guide and to lead the group back to the chieftain. He made no other promises.</blockquote>
