[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7942778, member: 7015827"] In response to Brok-Tul and Rahnee’s expressions of concern about the Winnfalls possibly being in danger, Garens told them he had not had a reason to be specifically concerned for his family, even if Hallton had been responsible for Aratae’s death. He explained that it would be one thing to waylay a lone traveler such as Aratae had been, another to uproot their entire family from Tallwell. In any event, they were no threat to Hallton and could be taken away by force at any time, if Hallton chose to do so. Rahnee expressed her hope that the companions’ visiting their home would not cause problems for the Winnfalls. Aley by this point had returned and she asked if her brother had helped saved Pahar’s villagers. When told by Rahnee and Brok-Tul that Aratae had, Aley, still sniffing, said that he had been a hero after all. Brok-Tul mentioned that the Hallton forces he had previously fought had been well-equipped and, they assumed, had magical help. Garens confirmed that Hallton’s men had acquired new arms and armor several months previously, shortly before the war with Pahar started. The farmer commented that no one knew who had provided them; the self-styled Duke was not rich enough to have procured them on his own. Garens, along with Aley, then said their good-byes and went upstairs to comfort Therena, as the companions departed the house. Once outside in the rain, the companions began discussing the note that had been delivered with Aratae’s head. Brok-Tul, embarrassed, admitted that he had left it inside the box. After some back-and-forth, Rahnee ended up sneaking back inside the house to retrieve it, using her ring of invisibility to ensure that she did not disturb the family. Once she returned to the others, she interrupted a conversation in which Brok-Tul was speculating that the Winnfalls could be informants for “Duke” Hallton. Belle and Veran joined in the speculation, while Aerikoth expressed his skepticism of the idea. ([I]I find it hard to picture under what circumstances this family would become trusted informants for their feudal lord, who had killed the son and raped the daughter. Or indeed that said lord would need them in such a capacity. --R[/I]) After some debate over whether to return to Glees and perhaps face manticores along the way, or return to the town inn and face possible ambush, the group went with Aerikoth’s preference of returning to the inn. The companions remained skittish as they observed a pair of Hallton’s soldiers moving around the town, although they were not challenged before reaching the inn. Once out of the rain, the group ordered food and drink and discussed what Brok-Tul would need to try casting a “prayer” on the note, in an attempt to divine information about its provenance. Later that evening, while Brok-Tul and Rahnee were in their room, Aerikoth, Veran and Belle went back to the Winnfall house. There, they spoke with Garens again, hoping to obtain more information on Aratae’s last day in Tallwell. Brok-Tul soon joined them, having left Rahnee resting at the inn. Garens informed them that Aratae had become enraged at Hallton, after their feudal lord had enforced his so-called “first night right” with Aley.
