The Story of the Clan

[AmorFati]

As the crowd continue to pester the old woman, you examine the shop, if that is what this is. After a few minutes the old woman seems to have had enough. "Get out of here. GET OUT!! That's it, I am closing this instant! If any of you can find my dear Sharwyn and proud Talgen, come back! If not, STAY OUT!"
The small crowd falls silent as one, and looks at eachother in shock. One by one they silently walk towards the door. "...been addled all since they disapeared..." the townfolks whispers as they head out. "...was tricked into coming to the Citadell. Who knows what..." is the last thing you hear as the crowd leave.

Ellawyn

*Ellawyn approaches the old woman. The look of concern is evident on her young face.*

"Excuse me ma'am? Who are Dear Sharwyn and Proud Talgen? What has happened to them? Can we help?"

*With this last question she motions to the other gnomes in her group.*

 

[Ozmar]

Malexander

'Can we help'? By the dragon, what does she think we are? This is a serious quest, not some kind of holiday picnic.

*Malex grumbles to himself quietly, thinking sour thoughts.*

"Excuse me? Didn't the old bag ask us to leave? Time's a-waistin' people!"

 

[tylermalan]

"Time is a-wastin', but surely we have enough of it to spare this poor woman her story?"

 

[Deuce Traveler]

*Plith gives a sour look.*

"First she screams at us and now you want to help her?"

 

[tylermalan]

"I don't think she was screaming at us... was she? Either way, we need food!"

 

[Lazlow]

"I don't think she was screaming at us... was she? Either way, we need food!"

*At the mention of food, Grimknobble is suddenly aware of his own hunger, and understands what must be done here.*

"Grrr," he growls at the old woman, "Grrrrrr."

*He gives a sidelong wink and a nod to Bilgewhistle.*

 

[Ozmar]

"Mmmm... Food is good. Very well, old woman. Tell us your story and feed us. No wait, make that Feed us and tell us your story. We like stories. Especially with food. We are the Gnomes of the Dragon!"

*Brandishes a nearby stick-shaped object like a sceptre.*

 

[AmorFati]

Looking from one gnome to the other with a perplexed expression,the old woman remains silent for a while before answering. "Umm... Sharwyn and Talgen... They're my children. They went to the Citadell, the silly kids, to figure out the secret... That was a month ago, and no-one's seen them since then..."

 

[Ozmar]

"The Citadel?"

*aside to fellow gnomes* "Is that where we're going?"

"What secret? The secret of the DRAGON?!?"

If those kids find our dragon first, they might become his favorites! We must stop them!
