The two men who carried the investigators across the river changed boats so that the party would not smell like fish. This was a kindness. Most Centrin people are genuinely benevolent.[/gm]The Centrin people involved in the conversation show some signs of embarrassment. They do not know exactly where the children were taken but signs were originally found of some people, other than villagers, crossing the river but not in boats. A couple of the locals offer to take Taylar around the northern edge of the village where they suspect that the children were captured.During the course of her conversation, Astarte and Plumeir, begin to suspect that the interrogation is fruitless, as no similarity in personality exists between those captured here and those captured from the Mining Community, until it dawns on Astarte that the children are, of course, all of the same age but, also, considered to be pretty. This sparks a memory for the eldest man in the village. He explains that when he was a boy and his family still roamed the grassland to the east of the village, there was a danger of Evipaun kidnapping young girls. Though these headhunters would kill adult warriors, they never harmed children. The legend was that young girls were offered as gifts to the hidden clans of women of their tribe. None of the party has ever even heard of an Evipau, much less seen one. They are reported to be Aedamans with mahogany colored skin and, as a whole, almost as muscular as Taylar. They are greatly feared by others who live in and around the grasslands.Though there may be some relevance to this story, both girls and boys were captured by these kidnappers; but perhaps, some opportunistic group of warriors was hired. Though he finds nothing definitive in his search, Taylar comes to the same conclusion of these not being random acts of selfishness perpetuated by some indigenous tribe. It is highly likely that mercenaries, something never before seen in the Western Region, are involved, which lends to even bigger questions: Who would hire such and why?[spoiler=Character Data]Taylar: full wellnessAstarte: full wellnessPlumeir: full wellness[/spoiler][ooc]Each character receives 5 DP.
