The whitewashed temple of Pelor is the hamlet's only brick structure, and stands in stark contrast to the rest of the town.The people are hardy and strong, their hands thick and wrinkled from years of woodworking.  But despite their robust appearance, dark circles hover under their eyes.  Even the children seem to worn out to play.As their are no direct trade routes leading through Thorndale, the Blue Oak Inn is empty of overnight guests, though there are two room available for visitors should they happen by.  Wood-carved knickknacks and handcrafted furniture spread throughout the common room show off the local industry.  The barkeep, a thin, needle-nosed man named Marius Reddlehare, wipes down the empty bar.The common room is buzzing with whispers of Marshal Ternsval's disappearance.  [sblock=Streetwise DC 13]* The local children speak of playing with a bunch of pretty butterflies that glowed different colors, enticing them further into the woods.  One of the older boys got scared and pulled the rest of the children back into town.* No one sleeps well these days, and the hamlet is beginning to suffer.  Two city merchants have already withdrawn their contracts, damaging the hamlet's economy.  The mayor is desperately writing letters to nearby guilds in Timberfall promising that things will improve.* Two travelers, a human and a halfling, stayed at the inn last night.  They wore dark cloaks and slept in shifts in the common room.  When morning they followed a deer trail into the woods, pulling a heavy handcart behind them.  They kept to themselves, and paid double to be left alone.[/sblock]</blockquote>
