The village of Prumen

[Manzanita]

Solomon Kreel

Solomon pauses, as Jasper accosts him before he leaves. He turns to face the wizard, and gravely takes him by the shoulders with his meaty hands. "Vengence will come. We will do this together. Do not think I am not interested in that. But first the living. Those we seek are no longer here; they have ridden off. I must another villager before I leave. And these children must be escorted to safety."

He pauses and rummages in his pouch. "I found a clue on the body of a militiaman perpetrator I killed this morning." He shows the paper to Jasper. It says: "Temple of Helm, 108 Vilral street, in two days after supper"

"Do you know of such Temple? Perhaps this is a clue to those behind this massacre. In any case, you may accompany me now, if you wish, to search for more survivors. But we must make haste, for I fear a goblin invasion is imminent."

Before leaving again, Solomon ponders what he knows of Jessica's life. Where else besides her home might she have been this morning? School? Work? Church? Some friend he might know?

[OoC Jasper knows a Vilral street in Mornonas, he doesn't know if there is a Helm temple there. This is the main street of the Industrial part of the city, it is a poor and rough area located north of the city. Jasper spent most of his time in the much safer southern part of the city where the university is located so he doesn't know much about this area.

Jessica usually don't leave town. She usually works with her father, who teaches her how to run the compagnie. But you doubt they went to work today. People usually get together in the town hall to practice their religion. Jessica is well known and have friend all over the village. Notice that the village is fairly small and consist of one main street where most of the villagers live and two fairly minor street that cross the main street. A person in good shape can cross the village in 5 minutes.]

Marcus, Gnarll go and help the two soldiers prepares the cart and supplies required for the trip. Marcus propose that the survivors leave for the nearby village of Broyar (OOC where Dai works).

The old man still siting, raises his eyes at Oculus as he asks the question. Oculus can feel that the man after being high on adrenaline for such a long time is letting his body rest. He notices that the man is now extremely pale and seems very weak. The old man gather some energy and answers back "Sorry, young man I can't help you. I didn't see anybody fitting this description in the last few days." Oculus notices the apparition of a small blood pool near Karn's leg.

OOC: I'm just saying that I'm still here, but I don't think Telic has had much to say .

 

[Ferrix]

Figures that it had to do with the counselor, I had a bad feeling about him from the start. Dai will listen and watch the others, if he notices the older soldiers wound he'll quickly attempt to help him. Using a cure light wounds on the man to hopefully help at least a little bit.

"Let's search the village for survivers. There may be some hidden. It's small enough that if anyone finds trouble they can shout and the others should hear."

Solomon begins a search.

OOC: Is Jessica's house in the village then, or some ways away? Obviously Solomon will want to return there and look for clues.

Jasper visibly relaxes as Solomon finishes talking to him. "You're right." He looks back at his siblings. "There are other things to do first. I know of a Vilral Street in Mornomas, but I'm not sure if there's a Temple of Helm there. I should go there anyway. I have an uncle there who can look after my siblings."

After the discussion, Jasper will check on the children then join in the search for other survivors.

Telic's normal cheery demeanor has vanished, replaced by calm determination.

"I agree we should look for survivors, and then..." he pauses, "then we can move on to vengeance. Life must come before death, however deserved it may be."

OOC Jessica's house is at the eastern extremity of the village. Karn fought the militian on the western part of the village. Jasper houses is not far away from the center

Karn thanks Dai for his healing magic. Thanks, stranger, this healing magic of yours will allow me to keep going... I will owe you one young men Karn do not seem affected by Dai's skin color like the other were. He stands up and go help the mercenaries, Marcus and Gnarll.

The rest of the group starts searching for survivor. The group go through the village in less than an half hour. The group finds a few survivor hidden under their table with kitchen knife, hidden below stairs and even one still sleeping. You find around 10 peoples, most of them don't know much about what happened and don't provide you with more info than what Karn already provided.

In the mean time Solomon searches the house. After an half hour he didn't find anything usefull in the houses. The only room he didn't visit yet his a room with a locked massive wooden door. Solomon doubts he is strong enough to brake his way through.

Outside, Karn, Gnarll and Marcus are calling the survivor and the rest of the group, the horses and cart are almost ready. They are just waiting for your orders to leave. Most of the survivor seems very eager to leave the village. Almost all the children are crying and the two mercenaries are getting nervous. They seem to have a hard time doing the baby sitters. Gnarll is trying to amuse them but he isn't really succesfull.

[OOC Solomon can hear Karn and the others call the group]

Occulus notices a large unusual flight of bird, coming out of the northern forest (about 2 miles from the village). Something unusual is obviously happening there.

Telic will be with the children, helping to "baby-sit" by talking with them and playing his lute for them.

Solomon knocks loudly on the heavy wooden door. "Is anyone in there!?" he shouts. "It's Solomon. It's safe now!"
