World of Low'verok

Upon hearing the commotion from outside, Brigitte politely excused herself from Elexia, and made her way outside to check out what was happening. Nervously, she brushed her fingers against the hilt of her father's sword, feeling the comforting warmth of the metal.

"I'm not quite sure, Master Gaoi. I was about to check it out." *She glances at him, noting the bundle of items.* "Perhaps if you are done shopping, you will accompany me?"

*Shar walks in the direction of the oncoming group, and asks one of the individuals on the fringe of the group what is going on.*
 

*The rest of the party can hurry outside, only to be confronted by a large mob of desperately unhappy and afraid farmers and travelers. Within moments, they get the same story that Drax had figured.*

"There's a terrible passel of some demon rats boiling up out of somewhere in the western woods! Their bites don't even hurt, I've seen cows stripped of their flesh while chewing their cud. There's a plague of the creatures, and more than one person has lost family to them. You are adventurers, its you job to take care of things like this! You have to stop them!"

Drax circles 'round the mob to Shar and the others. He prepares to defend any of the newly formed group if the crowd gets hostile, and Elexia, if she chooses to provide some healing for the injured.

Gaoi clears his throat rather loudly to get the crowd's attention and then uses his natural levitation ability to float up about 15 feet.

"And we will good people! Rest assured of that. But first there is the matter of some paperwork I believe. Who among you wishes to file the request to the adventurers' guild? We need all of the details if we are to be able to combat this problem. Is there one of you who can give the guild all the details?"

Gaoi waits for the response while looking around at his increased vantage point.
 

"Demon rats?" Brigitte repeated with raised eyebrows. It sounded rather serious; definitely a problem that should be taken care of quickly. Her eyebrows rise even further when Gaoi addresses the crowd, speaking of filing paperwork. She could not help but to wonder how the crowd would react to that, and readied herself, figuring that they would soon find out.
 

"Paperwork? Our herds are being eaten where we stand, we fear for our babes in our cradles, and you talk of paperwork like you're some clerk? Stand down, air-walker, I'm not impressed by your boasts!" calls one farmer, older, creased and weathered, but with thews of iron.

Gaoi descends back down and addresses the crowd.

"OK! Where are your fields?"

Pause for answer.

"When did you first notice the problem?"

Pause for answer.

"Is there anything else you can tell us that might be helpful?"

Pause for answer.

"Will you be showing us how to get there or giving us directions?"

Pause for answer.

"I will need to confer with my companions to see if everyone is prepared. We may need to resupply before we are ready to go. We also need to file papers with the guild before leaving."
 


Brigitte stands quietly, her gaze shifting from the crowd of farmers to Gaoi and back again. It looked like Gaoi had things under control, and she was grateful for that. If definitely appeared that Gaoi knew what to do in this situation. It looked like they were going to hunt some demon rats. She had never fought demon rats, so this was definitely going to be interested. Absently, she tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword.
