The minutes pass agonizingly slow, but at least the food and drink are free. They should be a welcome break from the dried meat of the trail rations. The door finally opens and a young lad, barely old enough to grow a bit of a fuzzy mustache enters. He confidently walks up to you and says "The Speaker's asked me ta come and bring you to him". He beckons you to follow. He leads you out of the tavern and down the packed dirt roads. The home of the Speaker is one of the larger homes in the area, as expected. On its property is several orchards, the apple trees in full bloom. The domicile overlooks what appears to be a park as well, some children are running around the area and a few farmers are just closing up some stands. As you get closer to the house you notice a pair of guardsmen who nod in your direction as you pass.You are brought to a room inside the home, most likely a library. Inside the sitting room is Kellin, the halfling owner of the Old Bridge Inn, Captain Soranna, Delora Zann, woman who owns the livery stables, and a tall, sour-faced man, who introduces himself as Iornel. [sblock=Sascha]You know Iornel is the largest landowner in the area, having large tracts of lands that he rents out to local farmers[/sblock]Norro Winston enters the room and says "Well, as you may already know, we represent the town council and you all know why we're here." he says without preamble, a surprise from a politician. "In a matter of days, we're going to have an army of goblins, hobgoblins, and other monsters here on our doorsteps. What do we do? Fight? Try to talk to them? Abandon the town and flee? Or do nothing and hope to Lathandar they don't come this way"At this Iornel stands up, "We can't let them take everything we've worked so hard for, just because some of us lack the nerve to stand up to this rabble" he says, looking to the Speaker and Captain Sorrana, "Besides these men and woman have already defeated the creatures, with their help and the rivers defense, we can hold out against them."[sblock=Sense Motive DC 15]Delora - Her mood is grim and her face tightSorrana - shares Delora's sentimentsIornel - His tone and mannerisms seem sarcasticKellin - Surprisingly optimisticWinston - Flustered [/sblock]</blockquote>
