From behind the cover of a large rock protruding out of the ground, they observe the progress of Slyfen and Eolan as they amble down the dirt road to the village.As the two get closer to the village, a pair of men ride out on chestnut quarter horses to meet them. One is a young man, barely 17, and looking somewhat green and uncomfortable on the horse. His leather armor seems a bit large for him, and his free hand barely leaves the hilt of his sword in its scabbard. On his head rests a burnished metal helmet with a nose guard. His tunic almost conceals the garlic he wears about his neck.The other man wears the green and brown garb of the order of Obad-Hai, and a wooden holy symbol dangles from a simple leather band around his neck. He is middle aged, but rides to the left and behind the younger man in deliberate deference. However, something about his air tells you that he is capable of quickly taking control of the situation if things get out of hand.Once you explain your purpose to the men, their initial shock at news of Kyle Tanner’s death is replaced by dignified sadness and a respectful appreciation for your efforts, and the two men open up to you somewhat. They explain that several men have not returned from their hunting over the past couple of years, and those that have returned bring tales of evil fey and undead. Young Joshua has taken the role of the town guard, as the regular guard has had to help with the hunt since so many have not returned. Brother William rode out with him in case his wisdom (or ability to turn the undead, you guess) were needed.They have no knowledge of Keller, but they say that the hunters have had to run off bandits from the lodge in the past. There is no leader, per se, in the village. Disputes are typically resolved in consultation with the brothers of the monastery.The two men offer to ride back to where Belisha and Hardin wait, and retrieve the body.</blockquote>
