Of Sound Mind

[Jarval]

The family looks more than a little nervous as the huge half-orc walks over to their table and bares his teeth at them. However they do relax somewhat when Seraphina joins Gholog, and the youngest child, a five year old boy, laughs at Gholog's gestures about Seraphina.

One of the group, a man in his early thirties looks at Seraphina as she speaks. "What do you want to know miss?"

"I have heard from some that the town is cursed. Do you believe that? Has anything unusual been going on around Bellhold?"

 

[Jarval]

"I don't know if the town has been cursed or the water has gone bad, but no-one has had a sound night's sleep in Bellhold for almost a month now." the man replies to you. "Many have already left, and when the priests started to leave we felt that it was time to go."

"And when those children went missing, we had to leave." adds the woman sitting besides him. "We couldn't risk losing Coln and Elissa." she says nodding towards her children, the young boy and a girl in her late teens.

"Missing children is bad. Priests leaving is bad. I think we've come at an opportune time. Let's be safe and avoid the water."

"I don't know if the town has been cursed or the water has gone bad, but no-one has had a sound night's sleep in Bellhold for almost a month now." the man replies to you. "Many have already left, and when the priests started to leave we felt that it was time to go."

"And when those children went missing, we had to leave." adds the woman sitting besides him. "We couldn't risk losing Coln and Elissa." she says nodding towards her children, the young boy and a girl in her late teens.

Hearing this, and still waiting for his food, Adren will take another pull from his tankard and walk over to the table.

Missing children? Surely the elders or magistrates of your village have investigated their disappearance? Do they suspect a foul creature of some sort?

Briefly, Adren touches the glowing tooth beneath his shirt, shakes his head as though coming out of a daze, and continues,

I've....I've had dealing with evil creatures before, good folk, and I know they can be quite devastating. Again I ask, do they know how or why the children are missing?
While waiting for a response, Adren will glance back to see if his food is ready.

Missing children? Ouch! I fear we may soon encounter the dreaded baby shields! This is Piratecat's module afterall!

"Captain Haldik of the town guard is trying to find out what's happened to the children, but he's had little luck so far. No one has any idea of why they've gone missing, but with everything else that's been happening, the whole town is on edge." the man replies to Adren. "And as for the priests..." a look of dislike crosses his face. "The gods could have picked better followers than those cowards. They've all run."

"Thorlenn has stayed" the woman says.

"Aye, and I'm glad she has, she's shown true faith, but she's only had a few months of training." the man responds.

The woman looks at Adren. "You said that you'd fought evil beasts. Could you help?" she asks. "My nephew is one of the children missing."

"I am sorry about your nephew, madam, by Pelor's grace, if we find them safe we will be sure to bring them back. If we find them harmed you can be sure you will get your retribution...for their sake...I hope they're well. Now, who is this Copperdeath you spoke of?" Aiden turns to the rest of the group, "Is everyone ready to leave leave for Bellhold in the morning?"

"Children are missing. We should go now."

 

[Jarval]

"Thank you." the woman replies to Aiden.

"Copperdeath was the dragon who enslaved the people of our town for many years, until a group of heros killed him fifty years ago." the man responds. "It was somewhat before my time, but my father told me of it's rule. It was a grim time for the town."

OOC: Sorry about no post yesterday. Had a night out and didn't get in until 2am!

Kerrick Jonez, in search of food.

After Kerrick has his bath he comes back out to the common room. He walks over to the barmaid, not bothering with conventions such as taking a table and waiting for her to come take his order. After he tells her what he would like,Kerrick will go pull up a chair where ever Aiden is sitting.


"So what'd I miss?" Kerrick flashes a grin.

"When are you guys headin out, I'd like to stick with you a while longer, and that shrine sounds mighty interestin."
