"And the swamps, and rivers and open fields." Will jokes. "So do you want to search the 3 men you cut down, while I search to see what the other has on him?" Asks Will.

[wentz22]

"Let's each take two, I may have won the contest, doesn't mean I get to reap all the coin." Adare slowly makes his way over to his two bodies to search them. Still clearly in alot of pain

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Adare finds nothing extra on the first body besides basic equipment. (described above.)

Will collects the silver.

"This guy actually had a good amount of coin on him. What did you find?" Will asks as he begins to look over the next body.

[roll0]

[wentz22]

"Just a soon to be burned corpse." Adare scoffs as he kicks the body on his way to examine the other.

[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Adare finds 14 silvers while Will finds 26SP.

"Well, I guess I have to go get rid of the bodies... And you don't really burn the bodies in the woods do ya? Don't you know that's like a barbeque for wolves and other wildlife?" Will questions Adare.

Will pockets the coin.

[wentz22]

"Oh course I don't..." Adare trails off while pocketing the coin. "Want a hand with the bodies?"

[shaken_bacon]

"No, we made a deal and besides I think you could use a rest." Will laughs as he begins to pick up the first body.

Adare and Will gain 200XP for the encounter.

[wentz22]

"Alright, I'm going to lie down in the tent. Just holler if your getting eaten by wolves."

[shaken_bacon]

"Alright, will do!" Will says.

DM: Adare goes and takes a rest in tent while Will covers the bodies with rocks and other materials he can find. .Adare recovers 7 HP Adare: 16/36

Will decides to go to sleep as well.

DM: Will and Adare sleep through the night.

Will gets a short rest and extended rest to recover his hp to full. Adare gets a extended rest for 12 hp. Adare: 28/36

DM: The sun is shining through the tent, the forest is quiet and the horses are rested. The road is only about 100 yards away.

Will wakes up and looks around to see if Adare is still in the tent.

[wentz22]

Adare already up can be seen about 50 yards behind the tent standing on the tree line his sword drawn. It looks like he's practicing switching back and forth between taking swings that cut sharply through the air and swings full of force that drive his blade into the bark of the tree.

[shaken_bacon]

Will wanders outside to see Adare practicing. "I'm not one to question another mans judgment, but is it wise to be practicing? Shouldn't yet let your wounds heal up first?" Will asks.

[wentz22]

Adare turns to Will while pulling his sword from the tree trunk. "It's probably not the easyest way, it's just how Balthor taught me. You train hard the morning after then rest. Unorthodox I know." Adare finishes his sentence following it up with one more swift strike at the tree.

[shaken_bacon]

"Alright, as long as you'll be ready to leave soon. While we're not in a rush, I'm sure the sooner we find your sister the better." Will replies. "I'll be back at camp packing up, find me when you're ready." Will says and begins to walk away.

[wentz22]

"You know" Adare stops Will before he walks away. There's a part of me that doesn't want to find her there's a part of me that deep down knows that she may either be damaged beyond saving or worse she could be.." Adare stops himself not being able to bring himself to say it. It anger he rips his sword from the tree and sheaths it. "Your right lets pack up and get moving."

[shaken_bacon]

Will stops packing and stands up and begins to tell Adare "Then what am I doing here? If you don't even want to find her I'll just go home now. I think we both know that regardless if you want to look for her, you know we must find her. And honestly maybe she is dead or hurt... But isn't it better to keep going knowing there is a chance to save her?"

[wentz22]

"I said there's a part of me, I didn't say it was a big part." Adare snaps bàck with a bit of tone. "I'm going to ready the horses"

[shaken_bacon]

"Very well..." Will says and begins to pack the tent and camp supplies.

DM: Will and Adare pack up there camp supplies and get back on the road. They travel for a few more days and eventually reach the outskirts of the Brecilian Forest. They are mostly in farm country, but on the edge of that is deep lush woods. Will and Adare find themselves passing through a place called Fuldor farms. It seems like any basic farm, but it is almost high noon and there aren't any farm hands working the fields.

"Strange." Will says.

[wentz22]

"Unnatural" Adare slows his horse in an attempt to look around. "Could it be another town has fallen to the amber rage."

[shaken_bacon]

"Doubtful, but who knows." Will says as he looks around as well.

DM: Both Will and Adare see a house and a barn on this part of the as well a fence blocking both off from the road. There are a few trees on the property. As well there are two bodies lay on the path that leads to the house. What will the group do?

Will: "Be on your guard." Will says as he draws his weapons and points at the bodies.

[wentz22]

"Of course." Adare responds as he follows Wills actions and draws his sword.

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Will Adare and Will investigate?

[wentz22]

"Let's have a closer look into this shall we?" Adare begins to lead the way.

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Adare and Will begin to walk up to the bodies. Roll another perception check.

DM The wolf drops dead as Adare moves next to Will. The remaining wolf bleeding heavy attempts to run away. It gets about 40 yards away from the group when Will begins to pull out his bow and load it with an arrow...

"Nah, it isn't even worth it. It'll bleed to death soon enough." Will says.

Will and Adare are awarded 300xp each.

[wentz22]

"Bloody annoying beats." Adare complains as he sheaths his sword. "Shall we take a closer look around while we're here?"

[shaken_bacon]

"Yes, I would think so... Also those wolves were very strange. I've never seen anything like them before." Will says as he puts his bow away and sword away, but leaving out his sword just in case.

DM: The two bodies still laying there, a barn and a house is near them. What would the group like to investigate first.

[wentz22]

"Let's check out the barn first. Looks like its a bit closer than the house."

[shaken_bacon]

"Very well." Will says as he walks to the barn.

DM: Will and Adare open the barn doors to see the various animals packed in alive and well. There are cows, chickens and even a horse. The barn is quite large, you see hay spread out, and also several bags of food for the animals and other farming supplies.

[wentz22]

"Things look in order here. To the house then?" Adare asks as he quickly takes one more look around.

[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Adare notices some blood that leads to one of the hay piles.

"Hmm... I suppose so, but something just seems off to me." Will states as he begins to turn around.

[wentz22]

"Wait look there." Adare points to the trail of blood while drawing his sword.

[shaken_bacon]

"Hmm?" Will says and looks to the hay where Adare is points to the hay about 10 yards away.

Will begins to stealthy approach the hay.
[roll0]


DM: As Will approach an elfish women bursts out of the hay and begins to try to make an escape to the far side of the barn.

[wentz22]

"Stop it's alright we're here to help." Adare attempts to prevent the women from running away.

[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

DM: The elvish women turns and looks at Adare for a moment. And then she collapses to the ground. That's when you notice that her clothes are torn and covered in blood and dirt.

"Oh, ****." Will says as he begins to walk up to the girl and look her over.

Perception checking her over.[roll0]

DM: Will sees a big gash in her side. It's inflamed and at once point bled heavily, but the blood now is mostly dry. He also notices that she is running a fever. She is also holding some sort of link chain that looked like it belongs on a prisoner. The chain is broken however.

"She isn't looking to good." Will points out to Adare.

[wentz22]

"Could one of the wolves have done this?" Adare questions as he bends over to get a closer look at the wound.

perxeption to check if the wound is made by a blade
[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

DM: There appears to be 4 larges gashes on her side. It looks like it may have been from claws, but the wounds seem large for the blight wolves you saw. You also notice the girl is no passed out.

"Healing kit?" Will asks.

[wentz22]

"Yes of course." Adare reaches Into his bag for his healing kit

[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

DM: The girl makes a bit of a yelp as Adare attempts to heal her up. Her wounds get a bit better, but she stays unconscious.

"She is pretty beat up. There was that village a few miles back perhaps we can bring here there?" Will suggests.

DM: Will and Adare passed a cross roads that had a sign that pointed south to a village called Vintiver.

[wentz22]

"Alright, but I think we should check the house first there could be others injured."

[shaken_bacon]

"I was just about to suggest the same thing." Will says as he bends down to pick up the girl. "Keep on your guard just in case okay?" Will says as he finishes grabbing the girl.

[wentz22]

"Of course." Adare leads the way with his sword still drawn as they close In on the house. As they get closer Adare attempts to examine the house better.

[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

DM: As Adare approaches the house he notices the door has been broken and is already cracked open a few inches. There appears to be large claw marks that looks as if they ripped open the door tearing off the lock in the process. Other than that it appears to be a normal looking farm house. White, two levels, probably fits about 6-10 residents.

Will follows Adare from behind as they approach the hose.

[wentz22]

"Look there, the same claw marks." Adare points to the door. "Might be best to leave the girl out here. If the beast is still inside not only would she be a hindrance but a target."

[shaken_bacon]

"What if they approach from outside? Perhaps its best if I bring her with us or one of us stay out here and guard her." Will replies.

[wentz22]

"Good point, bring her along. I'm really in no condition to fight alone." Adare chuckles a bit as he points to the little bit of blood still trickling from a wolf scratch on his arm.

[shaken_bacon]

"Very well." Will says as he continues to carry her.

DM: As Adare leads into the house he steps into some light sticky splatter of blood on the floor. There are several more bodies in the house and also there appears to be a pattern on the entrance way wall that looks like letters, but not of the trade tongue. (Also known as common or kings speech.) There also appears to be broken tables and other furniture as it looks like there was quite a slaughter here. There is blood ranging from one side of the room to the other. Some of the bodies are severed and the pieces spread several feet apart.

[wentz22]

"What odd writing." Adare states as he racks his brain to attempt to figure out something about the writing.

[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Adare doesn't have any idea what it means.

Will:

Cunning check
[roll0]


DM: Will realizes the writings in elvish.

"It's in elvish." Will says aloud.

[wentz22]

"Do we have anything that we can copy the letters onto? Unless you think you can try and read it? Adare asks

[shaken_bacon]

"Not sure about you, but I don't read nor speak elvish. As for copying it, lets see." Will begins to look through his backpack. "There we go!" Will pulls out his copy of the map of southmere. "Look after the girl for a minute will you? I'll be right back." Will asks.

[wentz22]

"Yes of course." Adare walks over to The girl still investigating her wounds. "Those look so familiar I swear." He mumbles to himself as he tries to think back.

Cunning check
[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Adare does not recognize the claw marks.

Will goes outside and see the body of the blight wolf. He sticks his sword inside the wolf gettings lots of blood on his sword and rush back into the house. "This should do it!" Will says as he gets his knife out to transfer the blood onto the map in order to match the symbols.

[wentz22]

"That's quite ingenious." Adare encourages. A bit stunned by Wills quick thinking.

[shaken_bacon]

"Sometimes I even surprise myself." Will says as he finishes up. "So what should we do now? The girl needs a good place to rest and maybe even a proper healer." Will reminds Adare.

[wentz22]

"I'd just like to finish exploring the rest of the house then will make travels back to that cross road if that's ok with you."

[shaken_bacon]

"Alright, I'm going to stay down here with the girl. Yell if anything goes wrong." Will says.

DM: The house has a staircase connected to the room that goes to an upstairs which has not been explored.

[wentz22]

"I'll be back in a moment." Adare quickly makes his way up the steps stoping a few steps short of the top to look around.

DM: Adare can now see the upstairs. He finds himself in a hallway connected to 4 rooms. He sees another body laying in the hallway with the same markings as before. He also notices that 3 of the 4 doors are wide open, while on is slightly closed.

Will: Will carries the girl to some cushioned seats that are intact and not covered in blood. He lays her down.

[wentz22]

Adare slowly takes a set towards the door that is still slightly closed. He grips the doorknob ready to push it open but pauses a moment to listen for movement on the other side.

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Adare hears a sort of tapping noise coming from the other side. It seems to be making a noise about every second. Tap....Tap...Tap...Tap.

[wentz22]

With a quick thrust of his arm Adare forces the door open with his left hand, his sword at the ready in his right.

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Adare pushes open to door to see a body hanging off the body, throat ripped out and blood still dripping down into a pool of blood below.

The room is a bedroom that has a small dresser, the bed, the body and chest.

[wentz22]

"Pleasant." Adare mutters as he makes his way over to the chest hoping its not locked

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Adare opens the chest. The chest has some blankets in it.

[wentz22]

Adare quickly makes his way back down stairs and finds Will. "Alright, I'm ready if you are."

[shaken_bacon]

"Okay, let's go." Will picks up the girl being as gentle as possible and leaves the room.

DM: Will and Adare leave the farm and begin to make there way to the village of Vintiver. When they arrive they see that it is a pretty small village. There are about two dozen homesteads, a small Chantry temple, A winery, a small inn, a black smith, and some stables.

"I recommend we get a room at the inn so the girl can get some rest." Will suggests.

[wentz22]

"I completely agree, it's been a long day."

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Will and Adare tie up their horses just outside the inn. They enter the small two story inn and find a sort of bar setting. Its pretty empty besides a couple of pattrons sitting at tables drinking. A man and a women are behind a counter they appear to be the workers of the inn.

"Hi how can we help you?" the women asks.

[wentz22]

"We're looking for a couple of rooms for the night, do you have anything available?"

[shaken_bacon]

"Yes we have several available. We have a two bedroom room and several single bedroom rooms available." The women explains.

"We'll take a two bedroom and a single bedroom please." Will intervenes.

"That will be 2 silvers please." The women says.

Will reaches into his pocket to get out the money.

DM: As Will is paying here overhears two men talking at the tables. "What is that knife ear doing here?!"

[wentz22]

Adare glances over at the men briefly before turning to Will. "Let's get her situated then maybe grab a drink." Adare asks trying not to get worked up by the men's snide remarks, knowing that he himself isn't a huge fan of elvish people.

[shaken_bacon]

"Haven't had a good drink in awhile." Will remarks as he finishes handing over the silver.

Will loses 2 SP

"Thank you, my husband Haran will take you to your rooms and I'm Kesla by the way." Kesla says and bows slightly.

"Follow me." Haran says.

DM: Haran begins to walk up the stairs where Adare and Will follows. Haran unlocks the doors to the two rooms next to each other.

"So, what happened to your friend? I don't want any trouble here and I know most people could care less what happens to them knife-ears, but regardless you best not be up to anything sinister." Haran states firmly.

DM: Haran is an average built man with short brown hair and stubble facial hair.

[wentz22]

"Not at all, she just needs some rest." Adare steps around the man into the double bed room where he wait for Will to follow.

[shaken_bacon]

"Hmm, that better be true." Haran says and walks away.

Will brings the girl in the room and sets her on the bed. Walks out closing the door behind him to go into his room. "I hope she'll be. Okay." will says as he sets down his backpack.

[wentz22]

"Perhaps we should skip the drinks and see if we can find a store that will sell us some healing kits? I'd normally think we should fetch a doctor but the way these folks have reacted so far I'm not sure how it would go over."

[shaken_bacon]

"Well we still have yours so I'm not sure that would help, but a healer would be nice. Still I'm not sure if this village would even have one. Perhaps there would be a mage at the chantry, but I doubt it... I'm hoping time will help her out." Will responds.

[wentz22]

"Fair enough, it looks to almost be dusk maybe we can check it out before nightfall."

[shaken_bacon]

"Alright, lets go to the chantry then." Will states as he picks his back pack and begins to head out the door.

DM: Will and Adare make there way to the small temple. It's a grey brick building with thin windows equipped with shutters. Inside the building there are several rows of benches facing an altar and stage where the revered mother would speak. There appears to be a couple of elderly women at one of the benches praying to themselves. There is also two rooms at the corner of the building.

[wentz22]

I haven't been inside a place like this since I was a boy." Adare trails off as he takes in the building.

[shaken_bacon]

"I doubt we'll find any healer in here, but its worth a look." Will states once again.

"We should look for the priestess here, she is most likely in the back." Will says as he quietly makes his way past the benches and heads to the right back room.

DM: The back room doors are open and Will and Adare see a women in the room wearing fancy robes.

[wentz22]

"Excuse us." Adare says in a hushed tone

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Will and Adare make their way into the room and notice that the
women is probably in her late 40's, and she has many grey hairs, but her long brunette hair is still in the majority.

The women looks up. "Oh, hello there. Is there anything I can help you with today?" She asks.

"Yes, are you this towns priestess?" Will asks.

"Why yes, I am. Are you travelers simply looking for a place to pray to the maker?" She asks.

[wentz22]

"Unfortanently it's something else, see we've have a friend of our injured quite badly." Adare begins to explain. "We were hoping you may know of a healer in town.?"

[shaken_bacon]

"No, I'm afraid not. The maker has not blessed us with a healer here which is a shame... We could have really used one after last week... Oh, but where are my manners. My name is Priestess Arda. And you are?" Arda asks.

"My name is Will. A pleasure to meet you." Will bows.

[wentz22]

"My name is Adare Ar Adoken, I greatly appreciate the help you've given us."

[shaken_bacon]

"Not sure I offered any help, but very well. Is there anything else?" Adra says.

[wentz22]

"Ha, I suppose not." Adare chuckles at the thought of how stupid is thank you sounded. "I believe a healer was all we were looking for." Adare pauses looking over to see if Will has anything to add.

[shaken_bacon]

"Nope, I guess that's it. Should we stop anywhere else or head back to the Inn?" Will asks Adare.

[wentz22]

"Why don't we head back to the Inn and check on her, if need be one of us can run out to fetch something we should have a bit of daylight left."

[shaken_bacon]

"Alright, I hope her condition hasn't worsen." Will states.

DM: Will and Adare say there goodbyes as they head back to the Inn. Will and Adare notice that the men that were here earlier are now gone from the Inn.

[wentz22]

"Seems like the mouthy ones decided it was past there bed time or got thrown out." Adare jokes as they make there way back to the room

[shaken_bacon]

Will confused gives a half smile and continues on to the room.

DM: As Will and Adare make their way to the door they both notice a strange light on the other said.

"What the?" Will states before panic sets in.

[wentz22]

Adare quickly reaches for the door and flings it open. Infront of his eyes stands a short man cloaked in green, the light emanating from his want. "No... Not you, it's impossible..." He trails off as he takes a step back in disbelief

[shaken_bacon]

Will in a panic draws his sword and shield and yells "get away from her!"

[wentz22]

"Whoa, just relax a moment." The man clearly not looking for confrontation finishes casting his spell and backs away from the girl, he reaches up to his hood and pulls it down revealing his face and elven ears. "I was only looking to help..."

The mans sentence is cut off suddenly as Adare bolts pasted Will and grabs the man by the throat, pushing him back up against the wall and pinning him there. "You! how did you get here, this is the third time our paths have crossed and thats two to many. Give me one good reason why i shouldn't snap your neck."

[shaken_bacon]

"Is this the same man from the forest?" Asks Will.

[wentz22]

"Yea, and in the forest when I was alone and he robed me!" Adare begins to squeeze the mans neck a bit tigher as he begins to lift him off the floor.

[shaken_bacon]

Will quickly goes over to examine the girl.


Seeing
[roll0]

DM: The girl still unconscious, but her wounds are healed.

"Wait!" will yells.

[wentz22]

"What? I can feel his windpipe starting to collapse."

[shaken_bacon]

"He healed the girl maybe saving her life." Will explains.

[wentz22]

Adare drops the man, who in return crumbles into a a ball, his hands around his throat as he grasps for air.

"I won't break you neck, but i will take this back." Adare reaches down and takes the mans coin bag "What's this there's only 10 silver coins in here." Adare takes them before tossing it back to to the elf.

"I robbed you in the forset." The man gasps "do you really think I keep a large stash?"

[shaken_bacon]

"Who are you and why have you been following Adare?" Will bluntly asks.

[wentz22]

The man quickly thinks to himself and responds with a counter question. "The better question we should be asking is why two brutes like yourselves are walking around with a piece of the Selanian flag."

"What are you babbling about? Iv never heard of a place called Selanian." Adare barks in.

[shaken_bacon]

"What are you talking about? Will asks?

[wentz22]

"This." The man reveals the piece of cloth Adare had tucked in his gauntlet. "You guys have a near to death elf in your custody and a torn fragment of the Selanian flag, the largest elven camp in Fereldian. That's a bit suspicious."


Adare quickly checks his gautlet to find the fabric he kept hidden now gone. "How did you!!...."

[shaken_bacon]

"What? I've never heard of such a thing. Who are these elves you mention?" Will shoots back.

[wentz22]

"It's the largest elven encampment on the eastern coast." The man explains as he slowly gets to his feet.

[shaken_bacon]

DM: before Will could probe further a rock smashes through the window.

[wentz22]

"What the hell!" Adare pushes the man aside. "We're not done here." He says as he attempts to look outside.

Perception
[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Adare sees a large crowd of about 30 people carrying pitchforks, torches and other various make shift weapons.

"Bring out the knife-ear." A man says wearing an iron apron. (Most likely the towns blacksmith.)

[wentz22]

"I believe it's time we leave town." Adare says to Will

"Look at all the trouble you've stired up." The man says as he pulls up his hood to cover his face.

[shaken_bacon]

"And what of the girl? I don't think they came to throw her a tea party!" Will says in disgust.

"What interest do you have in the girl?" Will yells to the crowd.

"She's a spy she is." The man who was previously sitting at the bar yells back.

"We want her to answer for the crimes of the treacherous elves and to face justice!" The blacksmith yells.

[wentz22]

"I didn't know justice came equipped with pitchforks and torches!" Adare yells back.

[shaken_bacon]

DM: The crowd looks at each other for a second, but then keeps throwing insults at Will, Adare and the elf.

"That elf has been deceiving you, we know what happened at the farm. She killed the Fuldors! We demand justice!" The blacksmith responds.

"Yeah and not to mention all the huntsman that have gone missing!" Yells a women from the crowd.

"You're telling me this frail women, who was passed out in a barn managed to kill all those people?" Will questions.

DM: The crowd begins to get quieter, the majority clearly are starting to question their actions.

"She's a witch and needs to be put to justice!" The blacksmith states once more.

[wentz22]

"False! We examined the farm, none of the residence injuries were caused by a human!"

[shaken_bacon]

DM: A few of the crowd leave, but there are still probably 20-25 people out there.

"She could be using some sort of blood magic for all we know! You can't trust a knife-ear... But for all we know maybe you were in on it! You some sort of elf lover?" The blacksmith insults.

"Be reasonable! If she did this damage, she would not have found herself hurt in a barn, she would have fled." Will responds to the crowd.

DM: "Maybe he's right" "We should go" are things that can now be heard from the crowd. Almost all of the crowd known dissipates except for a few men and the blacksmith.

"Damn it, this isn't over." The blacksmith says as he and the few remaining men leave.

"What happened?" The female elf says as she awakes.

[wentz22]

"We just kept you from having a very unwelcome meeting with the townsfolk." Adare responds

"Sounds like these guys have an underlying issue with elves."
The hooded man chimes in.

[shaken_bacon]

"I see." the girl responds... "I'm assuming you saved me from that farm... Thank you. I'm sorry I ran, I was just scared." The women explains.

"Hey, its okay now your safe." Will tries to comfort her. "My name is Will, this is Adare and this is... Wait what is your name?" Will asks the hooded elf.

[wentz22]

"Jarel." The man says reluctantly.

[shaken_bacon]

"I'm Eshara... thank you all for saving me... So is it safe to assume we are in Vintiver?" Eshara asks.

DM Note:

Eshara has various tattoos including face tattoos which makes her a Dalish elf. Forgot to post that earlier.

[wentz22]

"Indeed you are." Adare pauses a moment before looking to Will. "Perhaps she could read that note we copied from the house?"

[shaken_bacon]

"Note?" Eshara asks.

Will reaches into his pack and pulls out the note. "When the farmers were killed there was this message written in blood on the wall." Will explains as he shows Eshara.

"Mythal... It says Mythal... It is the name of the god of vengeance." Eshara explains.

DM NOTE:

Elves have different gods than humans. The exception may be that some city elves follow human gods, but generally elves and in particular dalish elves follow elven gods.

[wentz22]

"Those farmers must have really pissed off the wrong people to invoke the wrath of vengeance." Jarel states.

[shaken_bacon]

"I don't think it is the god himself... Let me explain. " She adds.

“As you may or may not know, our band visited this village just two weeks ago, during their harvest festival. We were welcomed, then, but there was a bit of trouble: some of the locals had too much to drink, and there was a confrontation with some of our young men. Harsh words were exchanged, and Harralan, one of our hunters, attacked the big blacksmith. The village warden separated them before it could get out of hand, but still the damage was done. We were no longer welcome here and we moved on as soon as the festival ended.

“Harralan was angry at our treatment, but our elders assigned him the duty of scouting as we made our way through the Brecilian Forest, to give him time to cool off. He was the first to disappear he simply didn’t return from his scouting one night.

“Then other scouts and hunters began to go missing, as did the ones sent to look for them. The elders decided we should go back, but by then it was too late.

“Three days after Harralan disappeared, before we could reach the edge of the forest, they attacked our camp: darkspawn emerging from the trees in the dead of night. My people were taken. Those who fought were beaten or killed. I was captured along with the rest, taken to an ancient ruin in a rift valley deep in the forest, off the trails. The master of the darkspawn is a creature, an abomination. He calls himself Mythallen, which in our tongue means “child of vengeance”. I was brought before him, and then to his chambers. I managed to escape, taking the broken link of silver I found laid out as if on a shrine.

“The darkspawn pursued me, accompanied by a pack of baying beasts. I was wounded, but managed to avoid them, hiding among the trees and gullies in the forest for more than a day, always moving, never resting for long. I stumbled upon the farm where you found me and managed to conceal myself in the hayloft. I heard some of the farmers coming… The darkspawn must have attacked. I remember the terrible screams… Then nothing until you found me.

“Please… You must help my people! Mythallen and his creatures must be stopped!”

[wentz22]

"Hmm." Adare makes his way out of the room without giving a response.

[shaken_bacon]

"Excuse us a second." Will says as he leaves the room and goes to Adare.

"What was that about?!" Will states.

[wentz22]

"They make such a cute couple done they." Jarel comments to Eshara

"Just taking some time to think, Do I postpone my search for my sister further to lend aid to the race that caused my life to be turned upside down?"

[shaken_bacon]

"And what of all those human bandits that tried to have us killed? Or Ser Vilem. They were humans that tried to kill you, shouldn't you feel that way about humans too?" Will asks.

DM: Eshara gives a awkward smile to Jarel at his comment.

[wentz22]

"Tell her will help, and tell that miget of an elf he's coming too, once were done he's going to take us to that elven camp." Adare quickly checks his pack before continuing out of the inn. "I'm going to pay a visit to that loud mouth blacksmith."

[shaken_bacon]

"Alright, I'll tell her. I'll also be keeping an eye on that Jarel fellow." Will says.

Will walks back in the room and says. "Eshara we will help you. We will head out in the morning."

"Thank you, I'll answer any questions you might have." Eshara says.

"Do you have any questions for the lady? After all you'll be coming with us." Will turns to Jarel and saysl.

[wentz22]

"As long as someone's paying my fee, I'll go where I'm told."

Adare makes his way threw town searching for the blacksmith shop.

[shaken_bacon]

"I'm pretty sure Adare already paid your fee." Will says with a stern look on his face.

DM: Adare stumbles across the blacksmith shop, but no one is currently manning it.

[wentz22]

"Your friend paid me for saving his life. My price for a full travel is quite a bit more. A boy has to make a living you know."

[shaken_bacon]

"Alright, we'll see how well you perform and then we'll pay you. Besides on this trip, there is bound to be treasures. We are going to an ancient ruin after all!" Will says.

[wentz22]

"I do love treasure." Jarel states as he forms a small ball of ice in his hand before tossing it out the newly broken window.

[shaken_bacon]

"Great... And apostate that uses his magic at will... That's what we need." Will says and sighs.

"And how many Templars are hunting you down right now?" Will asks.

[wentz22]

"Watch you mouth and don't class me with such trash." Jarel reaches under his cloak and reveals a gold medallion. "You speaking with one of the youngest members of the circle."

[shaken_bacon]

Historical Lore Check
What does Will know of the circle.
[roll0]


DM: Will knows very little of the circle.

"Oh, I see. Still I wouldn't be casting magic so freely, it makes people uncomfortable." Will says.

[wentz22]

"Does it make you uncomfortable?" Jarel asks Eshare. "Because the streets are empty now that the townsfolk a have taken the pitchforks home."

Adare begins to slowly make his way back to the Inn.

[shaken_bacon]

"Our elder doesn't look kindly on those who use magic restlessly she says quietly." Eshara says.

"Even if it doesn't make me nervous, it should make you nervous. One person tells a Templar, and you're off to the circle... Or worse." Will says.

[wentz22]

"Very we'll." Jarel stands up and begins to walk to the door. "Shall I assume we're meeting in the lobby for when we leave in the morning?"

[shaken_bacon]

"And how do I know you aren't going to run off in the morning?" Will asks.

[wentz22]

"You don't, but I'm not paying for a room to not sleep in." Jarel states before walking out.

[shaken_bacon]

"Wait!" Will says as Jarel is walking out.

"Give me your bow and I'll give me my shield. Let's call it insurance." Will says.

[wentz22]

"Fair enough." Jarel hands Will his bow

[shaken_bacon]

Will hands Jarel his shield. "See you at sunrise." Will says.

[wentz22]

Adare soon makes his way back to the hotel and to Will. "Where is Jarel?" He questions.

[shaken_bacon]

"He went to his room. He will meet us in the lobby at sunrise." Will explains.

[wentz22]

"I guess I'll get some rest myself." Adare responds "there's something about that Jarel that I just can't place."

[shaken_bacon]

"Agreed, before we get ready I'd like to ask Eshara a few questions" Will responds. "First off, where can we find this ruin?" Will asks.

"Here I'll draw you a map." Eshara picks up a pen and paper that is sitting on the desk next to the bed and draws a map.

"Thank you." Will says. "If we think of any other questions we'll stop by in the morning." Will says as he leaves the room with Adare.

DM: Several hours pass, Will in bed and the moon is at the top of the sky.

[wentz22]

While Adare sleeps the night away two figures can been seen in the moonlight standing under a tall oak tree just beyond the Inn.

"Tell Master Vatti that i have found Adare, and that I will be traveling with him until he is delivered to the destination." Without a response the other man leaves and Jarel makes his way back to bed.

[shaken_bacon]

DM: You heard birds chirp as the sun rises.

Will: "Time to get up." He says aloud while his eyes still closed and head facing the pillow.

[wentz22]

Adare looks iver to Will as the morning begins. "Anyone awake over there?"

Meanwhile Jarel is downstairs sitting at a table, Will's shield laying on the table in front of him.

[shaken_bacon]

"Damn, morning." Will thinks to himself as he struggles to get out of bed. "Let's do this!" Will yells to Adare.

Will puts his clothes on and grabs his gear he opens the door.

"Shall we?" Will says as he turns to Adare.

[wentz22]

"Indeed" Adare agrees as he straps his sword around his back. "I swear if we run into any giant crabs your fighting them alone." He jokes as he walks out the door.

[shaken_bacon]

"How did you know what I was dreaming about?" Will says sarcastically.

DM: Will and Adare make their way to the lobby and see Jarel already sitting there.

Will throws the bow down on the table. "I see you kept your word." Will says.

[wentz22]

"Yea" Jarel says as he straps his bow over his shoulder and pushes Wills now towards him. "May as well stay, iv seen how chrom done here fights he's probably gonna need my healing."

"I may just lose control of my blade and slice off that big mouth of yours if you keep it up." Adare snaps back.

[shaken_bacon]

DM: "Ah, just the men I've been looking for." Says a man who walks from the door of the Inn.

The man has long black and grey hair. He has a full beard also black and grey, he looks quite fit and looks to be around 50. He has a sword strapped on his back and is wearing light mail armor.

[wentz22]

"Oh? What can we do for you." Adare asks

Jarel quickly pulls his hood up to cover his face.

[shaken_bacon]

"I heard there was quite a commotion here yesterday and was hoping I could get some answers, oh, but where are my manners. The name is Tarl Dale, Warden of this here village." Tarl says.

DM: A warden is the towns law enforcement.

[wentz22]

"Adare Ar Balthor." Adare says

"Jarel."

"Just a simple Misunderstanding, no harm done." Adare states

[shaken_bacon]

"Will." Will says his name.

"Now don't need to be toning down the incident I heard half my village was up in arms over an elf being brought to the Inn. Saying she was a witch and you were all part of some elven conspirators. Why don't you tell me who this girl really is and why you folks are here?" Tarl asks.

[wentz22]

"We're not tonning anything down." Jarel chimes in. "The townsfolk over reacted to the situation. This girl was attack by darkspawn, who also masacured the ranch which they were staying at."

Adare cuts off Jarel. "All we wanted was to get her indoors and safe so we could tend her wounds."

What does Jarel know of the Darkspawn.
[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

DM: Jarel knows the basic knowledge. Darkspawn are nasty and generally humanoid creatures that generally live underground and come out as an army during a blight.

"I see." says Tarl. "And why was this girl at the ranch when these darkspawn attacked?" he asks.

"Because she was running from them in the forest. I guess these monsters captured her and she escaped and ran as far as she could, eventually reaching the ranch." Will explains.

"So I guess in a way, the village was right to in suspecting she was somehow involved in the Fuldor's deaths." Tarl states.

[wentz22]

"Being involved, and directly causing it are two very different things." Adare responds.

[shaken_bacon]

"Oh, don't get me wrong I agree... But this will surely cause some trouble. So the girl is still upstairs I assume? May I ask where you are heading now?" Tarl asks.

[wentz22]

"She is, but if we for a moment think that it isn't safe here for her will take her with us and push past anyone who thinks otherwise."

"We're going into the forest to help fight off the Darkspawn." Jarel adds. "Are we done? We're losing presious daylight."

"Unless you'd like to travel with us to ensure that we're not tied into any of this crazy witch talk." Adare says

Persuasion
[roll0]

[shaken_bacon]

"No my place is here. I'll do my best to look after the girl, but I still don't understand how you'll stop the threat, but I believe you'll try. Please take this 20 silver and get yourself some supplies if you need them." Tarl says as he hands the money towards Adare.

[wentz22]

"Thank you." Adare takes the silver and passes it to Will. "You have better luck not getting robed than I Do." Adare says as he glares at Jarel.

"You gotta let that go." He replys.

"One more thing, I have some older armor I'm looking to get repaired, Do you think you could deliver it to the blacksmith? He might be a bit more willing to do the work for you compared to someone he thinks is associate with a witch?"

[shaken_bacon]

"I think you'd have much luck as I would. We don't exactly get along since the night of the festival. He was a drunkard and harrasing the elves and he thinks I'm a elf sympathizer and don't see them as a threat. Perhaps I'm naïve, but I think he's just a foolish man with a lot of hatred."

Will takes the silver from Adare.

[wentz22]

Very well, thank you just the same. Now we need to find Jarel a horse."

[shaken_bacon]

"The farm isn't far, plus the woods probably aren't the best spot for the horse to naviagate, I was thinking we could just walk... Besides I'm not spending my silver on him." Will states.

[wentz22]

"Harsh, lets get going then." Jarel replys.

[shaken_bacon]

DM: after quite a long walk they reach the farm where it connects to the path. This appears to be the same pass Eshara mentioned.

"Alright, so I guess we go through these woods here." Will states.

[wentz22]

"Seems that way, shall we take turns leading?" Adare asks

[shaken_bacon]

"Sure, after you." Will says.

[wentz22]

"Of course." Adare replys as he draws his sword and begins to walk through te woods, checking his surroundings every few minutes
