"The plague has taken its toll on us. People seem to become more and more distrustful of humans... And some move beyond the limits of our small settlement never to return.  It's as if our once peaceful and loving brothers and sisters have been poisoned... Little by little, our ways surrender to lust and violence, lacking meaning and direction..." - she glances at Daxio for a second. "The Circle Crone has advised everyone against such lack of control, but I fear it may already be too late." - she falls silent and, with a pleading expression, lets Daxio away from her own body. As he offers help - and maybe something more - she simply acquiesces with a shy nod, returning to her tasks as before.EVERYONEGoliath's answer is simple and swift, and as the heroes leave the oak, he takes everyone to the orchard, as requested. The place is not far from Alanor's current refuge, as it goes. It is also nothing short of wonderful. The orchard seems to have grown quite quickly where once human hands toiled the soil to obtain grains, and where sheep once feed from fresh grass. Now, the entire area is covered in tall trees, from which golden fruits, resembling apples, hang within hand's reach. The floor shows a good deal of traffic in the past few days, and even though remnants of the golden fruits are discarded all around, no small amount still remains at the trees."The orchard feeds us and grants us refreshment when we need it. At the center" - Goliath points out - "you can find a Nymphaeum, built from part of the river waters. They've been purified with time, and are now visited by the nothern Nymphs regularly. Towards west we also have the remnants of three mills. People gather there from time to time, drinking cider and telling stories. Feel free to roam around. I'll have to excuse myself for now. I must tend to a few things concerning your presence here, as you might imagine. I think you'll be safe. If you need me, seek the old central square. I'll be there after conducting my own business."He turns away, stopping for a moment in order to ensure no one needs anything else."Beware of the others. Not everyone enjoys the idea of having you around. Mention me if need be. It should be enough to avoid any conflict." [MENTION=24380]Neurotic[/MENTION] [MENTION=6801311]KahlessNestor[/MENTION] [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] [MENTION=813]jmucchiello[/MENTION]</blockquote>
