Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ferrix" data-source="post: 1860964" data-attributes="member: 6115">The boy nods his head feebly to Tau, then begins to walk off through the town in the direction he had ran a moment ago.  Giving a nod of recognition to Uiim, Tau follows the lad off through the town.Many of the people remain hushed, although a woman probably in her twenties steps forward, you notice that she was one of many who dragged you into the revelry of dance last night, "Cantus was about my age, he lived with his mother.  He was often very sick, and some said that he wasn't really human.  But really I just think they were being mean, the poor boy..."  She breaks down in tears and is comforted by one of the miners, one of her brothers, and one of the drummers.He looks to Uiim, his eyes as hard as the crystal he mines, "Magdie was a good woman, she took care of her son, and served as a healer of sorts.  Although she never could do anything to heal the sickness in her Cantus' soul.  We did not want to bring this down upon ourselves, we lead a feeble life, but at least we live.  Now, who knows what will happen, we can't stay..."  He is interrupted by Livius, "We're the start of a revolution boy!  We don't need to be afraid anymore, the Mythar won't know who dun it, cause we don't know ourselves.  We can only say that one of ours is missing and that means they'll think it's him."  The woman cries out with a shattered rage weeping of sorrow, "Cantus would never do something so horrible as this... he's just misunderstood."  She collapses back upon her brothers shoulder.  Clearly these are troubled people.Tau:[spoiler] As you come out the shanty you can smell a vile sharpness coming from inside.  Looking inside your stomach turns at the horror, a woman probably in her mid-years lies sprawled upon a bed, naked and ravaged, her stomach torn open with a viciousness that you've never seen before.  Taking your eyes off of the horrid scene you examine the outside a bit more, hoping that concentrating on searching the area will get the daunting image from your head.  You can see the scuff marks from where the young lad had presumably run to and from the shack and another set of lighter scuffs leading towards the center of town, but you can't really get a good idea of how long they've been there or much else about them.[/spoiler]Log-a-Log:[spoiler] You aren't in earshot of Uiim, nor can you see him at the moment, as you are still scouting around a bit.  Although you did hear raised voices come from the center.  You notice Tau moving through the town towards a shack, he is following a young lad who looks quite shaken.[/spoiler]Nassitch:[spoiler] Sniffing around a bit, you quickly pick up the familiar smell of Log-a-log, something along the lines of cooking spices and oiled leather.  He seems to have been around a pile of discarded lumber on the far side, examining it a bit closer you can tell that one of the boards was knocked over recently.  Following his scent you begin to circumnavigate the town, seems he was scoping things out.  The trail is quite recent.[/spoiler]</blockquote>
