[QUOTE="Chonicler, post: 462894, member: 8316"] "Be at ease, good halfling," Xes says warmly, seeing his false bravado. "There is little to worry about - I have dealt with such beasts before, and I have no doubt that some of our companions are likewise prepared for such an encounter." He turns to the villagers. "If the matter is truly ogres, I'm sure we'll be able to clear it up quickly. However, I - like Frederick here- am not entirely sure that it is merely ogres that trouble your village. More likely it seems that they might have merely taken advantage of already-slain prey, ogres being the lazy and gluttonous brutes that they are. We will investigate, surely, but we would not think of depriving you of your lunars - the outdoors can provide us with what we need for this outing." "In any case, I suggest we set out immediately - I have known ogres mostly to hunt at night, their cowardice provoking them to choose a time when potential prey may be asleep. It is a good seven hours before nightfall, and if we hurry, we could catch them as they awake and are still groggy." He retrieves his staff from the inn floor. "While your hospitality is generous, I'm afraid it would be best for us to accept after we've solved your trouble - we would be most willing to accept afterward - it could be a celebration, a feast even."
