Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

Reaching the farm takes a good 15 minutes at a steady walking pace. The road evens out ahead, leading to a farmhouse to the east, a barn to the north with a grain silo nearby and a well not to far away from the front of the farmhouse itself. All appears quiet.

"When did the girl died" ask Sielwoodan to Laurent, while he lead the group toward the house, keeping an eye alert on anything suspicious.
 

"A few weeks ago. Officially she is reckoned to have fallen down a well, and altough Lady Andress apparently was unable to save her - which implies that the body was recovered - no burial was carried out. Maybe her ladyship just doesn't like burials."
 

Laurent havn't finish his sentence that Sielwoodan halt a moment and start to look around. He feels the farm too quiet and he doesn,t like that. Or there something happening, or the family try to stay in the background, or there is no one there. He look for sign that would help him to know if the family is still around and why the farm is so quiet.

Teleri looks troubled at the information. "I think.... I suspect that Andreas is insane. No priestess of any good deity would deny dead child a proper burial or a funeral. That's wrong. Plain wrong,"
 

Broddy follows along quietly, but every once and a while he will add to the small talk. When Sielwoodan pauses he does as well. scanning the area for anything unusual.
 

Dunstand placidly follows the group up to the farm, but is not disturbed like the rest of the group by the lake of actively. ”If we want to find out if anything is amiss, we should just go and see." only waiting to see for a second if anyone was inclined to follow him, Dunstand walks over to the front door of the farms main building and give it a loud rap. why is it that everyone has been jumping at shadows ever since we lost Aiden and Drogo.

Laurent lowers his voice so that it will not carry - now that they are near to the farm - and softly speaks to the elf, "Possibly. Or maybe the child was infected or diseased in some way and needed to be buried in secret. Or something else, either way we should be careful."
 

Calenthang draws his sword and goes to stand beside Dunstand, out of view of the doorway. The warrior is clearly pleased with Dunstand's straight-forward tactics.
 

Teleri sighs and keeps an eye on the surroundings, the silence of the place is downright creepy, but then she remembers that the family has just suffered a loss, so they're probably not in the mood for merry-making.

I'm not a member of the watch. I'm a cleric and fighter. she grouses to herself.

"Aye, care is my watchword on this venture. Just don't trust anything you see in this place. Too many questions, not enough answers." she whispers back. "And the answers I'm getting don't make me happy,"
