Kyle Radnal greets you at the new barracks that he has made.  It was his decision to save room for now by taking over the military administrative building and saving room for the towns people by making the underground tunnels that the kobolds had created into an underground barracks for his troops.  Although not the best location since it requires a lot of torches and lanterns to move about (oil is coming in at a slow trickle from the elven lands), it does serve well defensively."Silas!  Good to see you!  I've heard you've accepted my request without even hearing the details.  Good man," he says in all seriousness.  "Let me tell you what I know.  The gnomes in the hills farther south to us are having trouble with increased kobold and goblin raids.  Their delegation has been the most helpful in agreeing to send to us needed supplies, but they actually had come to ask the elves for help, and did not initially know of our own plight.  We really can't send our own forces to help right now, as they are needed here and are of limited numbers.  We asked if a small group of specialists, like the one that helped clear this town would be welcome instead.  The gnomes gratefully agreed.  Now Silas, we plan to send the group that helped before, but they lack a mage and I would hope one would join to aid their party.  You will be gone until the issue is resolved.  Of course failure may mean that the gnomish lands become overrun, causing our south to be filled with aggressive groups of kobolds and goblins.  If you are still up for it, meet the baron in his building an hour after breakfast is served in the square tomorrow morning.  You may go back home for now, or stay in our barracks to meditate and train."[/sblock]Kel[sblock]Heron nods as you talk, all the while leading you into the burned ruins of a former temple that was destroyed when the village was taken.  It is difficult to discern which god was worshipped here.  Now Heron's followers of the Rider treat the sick patients.  Heron keeps talking as you pass by the ill, "I hope these herbs will help, Brother Kel, and I thank you.  I'll have some assistants try to gather some later.  As you see, not everyone made the trip here in good health.  I have about 50 very ill people and a few hundred moderately sick that I had to send back to the new homes.  A few dozen have died along the way, like the parents of this young boy," he stops in front of one glassy-eyed child and his voice becomes lower, "Some are not really sick.  They've just given up."Heron is lost in thought for a moment, but then says, "Brother Kel, I do not know what god you may follow, but give a prayer for us from time to time."You leave the temple after a while and you are met by one of your fellow elves.  He says there is to be a meeting with the human baron at the main building an hour after breakfast tomorrow.  Your presence is requested.[/sblock]Alexander[sblock]At noticing your wound, Syra unconsciously moves her hand to touch at your wound, but is interrupted with a loud cough from a distressed-looking Lady Huffring.  Syra smiles at the interruption and asks, "Alexander, will you meet with my father tomorrow at his office an hour after breakfast is served in the square?  Your presence is requested."  With a courteous nod to you, Syra leaves followed by a pouting Lady Huffring, who gives you a sharp, angry look.[/sblock]</blockquote>
