The village of Prumen

[DarkMaster]

Jasper enters the room. The body are slowly starting to rot, the dead meat smell is already difficult to support. They were probably killed early this morning.

Jaspers recognise his mother and father in the back of the room, as he approaches them he notices that they've been viciously murdered, his dad's four members have been cut off from his body and he received at least 10 sword or dagger stab in the chest, his mother's throat was cut open, but he can't find any signs of his brothers and sisters. Adventuring life starts really hard.

Gnarll approaches Jasper, Sorry. I am really sorry. What did we do to deserve this ?

Marcus nervously search the body for clues.
--
The kids with Solomon are now calming down, but are still affraid of him and stay in the corner of their room without moving. Every attempts to move them from here ends up in the childrens starting to cry.

Solomon approaches the book, it is a nice 5x9 red leathered bound book. All pages are hand written. Solomon recognises Jessica's hand writing. How could he forget those three letters Jessica gave him making sure no one else was aware, especially her father. The book seems open on today's date, and looks like her personal diary.

[OoC The house is fairly big and I will rely on search skill to accelerate the action, I assume one roll for every five minutes and T20 if he takes 1h40 searching it. ]

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Telic sticks with the others for now, following Jasper.

Solomon Kreel

Solomon slips the journal into his pouch and sighs. He thinks a bit. The two militiamen whom he met had horses. Were there any other horses tied with theirs? The children only mentioned the two. He only saw two sets of muddy footprints (right?). It is likely Jessica and her father were not here when the attackers came. Searching the house with these two children is difficult and perhaps even dangerous.

Resignedly, he'll lift the two children gently, and take them outside to the horses. "Don't worry little ones. Let's go get help. We'll find your father and sister. It will be OK. I won't let anyone hurt you."

Jasper Conrad

Jasper falls to his knees and takes hold of his mother's hand. "No... mom, dad..." He stays there quietly sobbing, and paying no attention to the other people around him, dead or alive.

 

[DarkMaster]

Occulus, tries his best to help his friend Jasper go through this difficult moment. Gnarll and Marcus, holding their tears (and their breath due to the smell) are still searching the bodies. Up to now, nothing significant have been found among the body.

Dai, notices a few heads hidden behind a bunch of garbage bags on the side of the town hall. The heads seems quite small like gobelin or children. He also hears some sounds coming out of the dumpster, sounds like voices but from where he is he can't really tell.

OOC Solomon only noticed two sets of muddy foot prints, there were only two horses at the back of the houses, outside the fence.

Solomon, leaves the houses and walk with the two childrens towards the horse. As he gets there he approaches the militian body. He puts the childrens on the ground and searches the body. he finds 25 gp 103 sp, the man also have a MW dagger, MW long sword and a studded leather. The young teenager and the young boy approaches the body they seems almost as curious as Solomon. The little boy found a folded piece of paper in the militian pant's back pocket. he gives the piece of paper to Solomon.

On the piece of paper Solomon can read.

Temple of Helm, 108 Vilral street, in two days after supper

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon Kreel

Solomon ponders the note. "Thank you. That was very helpful." he tells the young boy. "My name is Solomon Kreel. I am a friend of your father's and Jessica's. What are your names? I will take you into town. Hopefully there we will find some other people whom you know. I will protect you. If you wish, you may ride the horse. I will lead it as I walk. Do you know how to ride? Do you need anything before we go? Food? Water? Aid for any injuries? We will return to this house once we find some help. I have some friends in town."

Is there a Temple of Helm in Prumen? Or a Vilral street perhaps? Solomon will take the MW sword and dagger along.

 

[DarkMaster]

OoC sorry forgot to mention: No temple of Helm or Vilral street in Prumen. Vilral is the name of the Baron controlling the region.

 

[silentspace]

Oculus will search the room and surrounding area, looking for clues.

OOC: Thanks for NPCing Oculus

 

[DarkMaster]

OOC Glad to have you back Oculus

 

[DarkMaster]

Solomon heads back to the town centers with the two children and the horse. The children while not as affraid as before still do not respond to Solomon's questions. But the little boy doesn't miss the opportunity to ride the horse. As he sits on it he makes him a big smile, his eyes still watery.
As Solomon approaches, he quickly realised what just happened.

Dai, Oculus, Telic who are looking around notice a few childrens getting out of the dumpster behind the town hall. They seems very nervous and still under chock, they observe you without saying a word and ready to run away at any sign of hostility. The olders have their hand raised in the air. You also notice a taller human form still partly hidden behind them.

Gnarll and Marcus are still looking, unsuccesfully for clue inside the town hall and didn't notice the children yet.

Jasper ... well is mourning.
