On the far side of the hill, he spied what looked to be an orchard. There were definitely people moving around, so at least there would be somebody to talk to. Approaching the front gate, Brlo was hailed by a man who called himself Daran. After the standard gripes about Redbands, fruit fly and the unseasonable he's trying to crop, Daran drops something useful. It seems as though prospectors in the area - terrible class of people, always trespassing while looking for the old mine that probably doesn't exist anyway - have been chased out by undead. And that is most definitely not typical of the area. Some of these prospectors also had a fanciful idea that some folks were digging around Old Owl Well too - though the gods alone know why as the place has nothing of value. Not even quality soil! Brlo kept his end of the conversation, over a cup of tea in the farmhouse. He told Daran the story of an elves bard captured by goblins and rescued by his cousin Vottr - though why Vottr would risk his neck for an elf he couldn't say. And, what was more, the elf was putting on a show every night in town for a few nights. The country news exchange concluded, Brlo took his leave and continued across the countryside, leaving the road well alone. Outside a farm gate he met a lady loading milk bottles onto a cart named Qelline. She didn't seem to mind Brlo's slightly wild appearance, as he reminded her of her friend Reidoth the Druid. Qelline was sure they would be friends, if only Reidoth hadn't just the other day set off for Thundertree, to the  west of Neverwinter Wood -such a reputation that place she can't understand why a wise man like Reidoth would go there. Near the end of their chat a boy, Carp, came racing up - excited that Brlo was a real live adventurer. Some chuckles later, and an explanation that he was a cave guide more than a high falutin' adventurer, Carp offered to show Brlo a real secret tunnel near Tresendar Manor. Brlo glanced at the sun and decided he would be missed soon enough - doubly so if he played a child's game... With a smile and thanks he declined and followed the road back into town. At least he had some news to offer the others... [MENTION=82463]PierceSG[/MENTION] Sorry to hear about your bad news. Things always get better in time. Hang in there!</blockquote>
