Silence again falls over the village as you leave.To the north past what appears to be the dark shape of a wood you see a fire burning atop a high place- a tower of some kind. Darkness and the trees block this view, but you estimate the dark silhouette to be a little over a mile away.Some two miles down the straight level road, and a weary hour later you arrive at another darkened village. A large stone sets beside the road. In common are etched the words: CAPENDU.The structures here are stone, loosely gathered around a crossroads.  To the north of this small hamlet, you see a large two story building, a structure that dwarfs anything else in the village. Large square, and utilitarian looking it would easily be mistaken for a barracks or meeting hall, were it not for the darkened stained glass window over its great wooden door- a church. Slowly it begins to rain. As you approach you pass a fountain , a worn iron lion standing in a pool of stone. As cold raindrops patter on your cloaks and armor you can see the faces of grey stone gargoyles peering down upon you from the church's roof. Then, lightning flashes silently across the night sky, revealing a robed figure standing in the churches doorway."Who goes there?" the figure asks. "Who comes here this time of night? Speak your business, in the name of Saint Cuthbert, and Lord Giles, what can I do for you?"</blockquote>
