[QUOTE="nerdytenor, post: 4497746, member: 74526"] The party sets up a watch, not content to trust the minimal guard inside the town of Greensfen. The evening passes undisturbed, save for a few pitiful cries here and there from various starving town dwellers outside. At first light, the party meets up at Dardus's smithy as arranged, and steps inside, interrupting a somewhat heated conversation between Dardus and Mardrick. The smithy is nearly bare. During your last visit here, it took some time to find a bit of floor not covered with a weapon or piece of armor in some stage of creation. You have no such trouble this time. All you can see now is a forge, some other tools of the trade, and a large sack that seems to be the source of Dardus and Mardrick's argument. "Ah, friends, it is good to see you again," Dardus says. His face looks much better today, but he still has a slight limp as he walks closer to you. "Mardrick just recounted the details of his rescue, the stones, the plant... It's a lot to take in. But it appears you have been successful, and for that the town of Greensfen owes you our thanks. And a fair bit of gold." "As you can see," Dardus continues, gesturing around him, "my smithy has been robbed, no doubt by the same crew that tied me up. There were dozens of them - carted everything right out - gold, weapons - you name it. Now we agreed you'd be paid when the town was on the mend, which hasn't happened yet.
