World of Low'verok

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Gaoi descends back down and addresses the crowd.

"OK! Where are your fields?"

*After a few moments, the patriarch is elected to answer Gaoi's questions.*

"Two day's walk, or one day's ride away."

"When did you first notice the problem?"

"About a week and a half ago the livestock started going, and about a couple days ago they started attacking people."

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

"We know that people don't always feel their bites, and they often attack at night when they can't be seen. Also... the bandit attacks around here just stopped about a month ago, maybe the rats got to them."

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

"We can lead you to our best guess of where they're coming from."

"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."

"Quickly lads and lasses, we got family and livelyhoods at stake!"

Drax anxiously waits for the papers to be filed. whatever that is. These humans are odd when it comes to a hunt. We should be out searching for these "demon rats." Drax thinks back on the history of his people to any references of rats of this nature, or hunts by his people to dispose of them.

Gaoi turns to his to his companions.

"Does anyone require anything? Any supplies? We should probably get some rations just in case. Also, should the rats come from a cave or cavern we will most likely need some dungeoneering gear."

He ponders something for a moment.

"We should have enough gold for any supplies. I'll check with the guild to see if there is any information on similar events. Let me know if you need any funds for supplies."

Gaoi then turns back toward the guild.

OOC: Gaoi will file any paper work that is required and check the guild library for any info on such rats. He will also try to think his own knowledge about monsters.

*Evardo looks a little nervous as Gaoi describes what's going on, but he dutifully records it in his book, and then goes to look up anything he can about them. He comes back an hour later with only a slim sheaf of notes.*

"Near as I can tell, the last time anything of this nature happened was about a hundred years ago. It also came from the west, though not in the exact area. The last people that fought them also talked about the bites they couldn't feel, as well as the fact that they came in swarms. Last time they killed them they found their nest and burned it. But then they missed a few and died later, eaten in their beds. That's where the record ends, but there were no more incidents until now," Evardo says, looking rather green. He has to go excuse himself, dashing to the water closet.

*You can pick up trail rations and similar things from the dry goods store at normal prices, and then head out with the farmers, if you like.*

Gaoi patiantly waits for Evardo to return from the water closet.

"Thank you for your help and for the items. As long as fate smiles upon us we should be back later with news of the rats. Perhaps we may be able to add to the guild's information."

Gaoi then heads out to join with his companions, grab any supplies, and then head out of town with the farmers.

"Gaoi, my rationsss are low, and I might buy sssome Oil for the ratsss nessst. and torchesss"

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

*Listening quietly to her new companions discuss plans, Shar simply shakes her head when asked if she needed anything.*

"I'm pretty sure I have everything I need with me, but thank you." *She says somewhat distractedly, looking rather queasy herself at some of the descriptions of the attacks a few farmers are discussing.*

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Those that need to buy supplies of the more normal sort can do so at the general goods store, with the anxious farmers practically looking over your shoulders as you collect food, torches, oil, and anything else you need. Evardo takes care of the records. The patriarch, a farmer by the name Dragus Knorr, hops on the wagon to give directions. It was already late afternoon by the time you set out, so that night comes when you're about halfway there. You can choose to push on through the night to shelter within walls, or you can sleep under the stars. Your choice, though Dragus seems extremely nervous at the thought of not having something solid in between him and the rats...*

 

[Argent Silvermage]

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.

OOC: How did I miss this much story?

IC: Elexia offers what aid she can.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Elexia looks deeply into Dragus' eyes and calmly says "I will not allow them to harm you sweetling. Please do not harm them with out need." She piles what she can into Charities saddle bags and awaits the rest.
