Of Sound Mind II

[Jarval]

Captain Haldik nods at Gholog's words, and addresses the group.

"And the same goes for all the rest of you? Are any of you connected to the missing children? Friends? Relatives?"

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Kerrick Jonez

"Naw, we aren't connected to them in any way, Maybe we're just good folk that don't like it when bad things happen to people. That good enough for you?"

 

[Zhure]

Gholog

"The master says, 'The gods arrange people to be where they're needed'." Then he tries to look wise.

 

[Other Guy]

Jason Master

Gholog's latest action causes a slight grin to form across Jason's face. He then says to Haldik, "I come from nearby land and have a very large extended family. As far as I know I'm not related to any of them, but it's possible."

 

[Jarval]

Captain Haldik seems slightly annoyed by Kerrick's flippant attitude, and mildly amused by Gholog's "wisdom".

"If you wish to join the search, then by all means do. I'm short of men as it is, so you could make yourselves useful. Are any of you trackers?" He scans the groups faces, seeming to gauge each of you against some personal measure of his own. "I can't pay any of you for your help, so what you do will be generosity on your part."

Turning to Jason, the Captain adds "What is your family name? It would be the best place to start, if you wish to know if any of your kin live in the village."

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

"That is fine with me, it is my duty to bring the children back. I'm no tracker, but as a priest of Pelor I hope to help find them."

 

[Other Guy]

Jason Master

"I'm no tracker either, but my family name is Master," Jason says. "My mom's was Potter before she married my dad and all her siblings are men. My dad has three sisters and two are married. I think that now their names are Guilder and Skye."

 

[Zhure]

Gholog

"I knew an orc from the Potter tribe.... Hairy fellow.

"But our lineage won't help us find these children. Have we any clues about their disappearances, or did they just vanish without any trace at all?"

 

[Jarval]

The Captain thinks for a moment. "Most of the names I'm not familiar with, but the Skye family run the general store on the west side of town. Or they did. They left town about two weeks ago."

"But as your friend says, such matters can wait, as we must not waste the daylight. It's a shame that none of you are trackers, but luck such as that could not be expected. And it will be a great boon of have one of Pelor's with us."

The Captain turns to face the river, and points along it's banks. "We're looking for tracks along the banks of the Coldstream. Any track should be clearer in the mud, but we've found nothing yet."

He turns to his men who are taking a quick rest and calls out. "Right, back to work. Sergeant, you may return to your post." He leads you and the rest of the party back down to the river bank.

 

[Acmite]

"If you wish to join the search, then by all means do. I'm short of men as it is, so you could make yourselves useful. Are any of you trackers?" He scans the groups faces, seeming to gauge each of you against some personal measure of his own. "I can't pay any of you for your help, so what you do will be generosity on your part."

Sorry, I was distracted by the new smells and sounds of the village. I am capable of tracking, and would be more than willing to help in the search. Let's go look at the bank and see if we can't find a starting point.
