Okey! The group settles at thier new campsite and takes some more time to rest properly after thier ancounter with the boar. The next day your journey continues.
Your journey remains uneventfull until you reach the town of Dawn, about two weeks after your depart from the mansion.

You reach the town late in the afternoon, the sun just starting to set.
The towen lays soem hours form the main road, right at the border of a large forest and there are some farmlands surrounding it. The small town consists of small wooden houses. There is one larger building, the only one build partially from stone, at the center of the town with a square in front of it.
The streets are quiet, apart form some children playing in the town square.

"We should begin a search for clues on the location of the hidden temple"

'What would Aggie do? I'll ask her once she gets back from Duvik--Oo, I know--children!'

"I think I'll start by befriending these children."

*Aletheia will head over to the children with her best friendly smile, fondly remembering her recent charity work with the children of Orussus. Children really are such gentle innocent little things. And yet it is said that great wisdom lies in the simple words of a child. If she can surmise that one child is a leader or more charismatic alpha of the group, she approaches that one. Otherwise she approaches the friendliest-looking.*

"Hey their champ/little lady (OOC: Pick the appropriate greeting for gender). That game looks like fun. What game are you playing? My name is Allie. Can I play?"

(OOC: Ignore the following if they don't let her play--I'll retool this a bit)

*She hopes to play with the children for a while to earn their trust. She works with children a lot, so she knows how to relate to them. She's willing to wait out the game for a little while. Even if it's a competitive game where an adult should obviously win, she'll make sure to make the kids look good. Eventually, she will get to business...after a fashion.*

"Wow, you guys are too good for me!" Aletheia protests with a laugh, "Listen, I'm a healer, and I've come here to help and to look for something. Is there anyone here in town who could use a healer's touch, anyone who is sick or in need of aid? Also, have you ever heard of a shrine in the forest near here?"
 

As soon as the group enters the town square the children stop playing. They whisper to eachother and point at you. Aletheia heads over to the children and starts asking them things.

"Hey their champ/little lady (OOC: Pick the appropriate greeting for gender). That game looks like fun. What game are you playing? My name is Allie. Can I play?", she asks the largest boy in the group.
He seemingly ignores your questions about thier game and starts asking questions himself.
"You're not from town. Are you traders?" He bends aside to look for any wagons "Hmm, prolly not. You can sleep here at the inn, my dad is the innkeeper here." He says as he points at the large stone building behind him.
 

"These youngs look more interested in business than play" comments Odno. "Let's indeed visit the lodging stablishment; I must add too that when you're looking for ancient tales, talking with old wives is more fruitful than inquiring to small children."

Hooray! Eanos levels up (he's been frustratingly close for far too long ;) )! I'll hurry and make the changes and get him approved.

Whether due to the exercise or the fresh air, or just his more diligent prayers to Ayratha, Eanos finds the journey leaves him feeling heartier and more refreshed. His senses seem slightly more acute, which he hopes will come in handy. As Odno suggests moving to the inn, Eanos nods his agreement with the suggestion, though he won't leave Alethiea alone if she chooses to stay with the children.

[sblock=OOC]character updated and judges emailed per the character thread. Just adding color above to account for the changes.[/sblock]

Mordik nods. It'ah be nice to get a decent meal and a nice bed for the night as well.
