    The young farmer says None of us are trackers, the beast seems to roam randomly in the night never picking on any one farm.

    Sid smiles brightly Aye, I have a room for you if you don't mind sharing. Just give me a holler when you're ready.

    Ogrin takes a hearty bite of oat bread and nods approvingly at Sid. Dunking it in the lamb stew makes it even better. Living off of the land had become customary to the dwarf, but it was nice to have oven-baked bread every once in a while. His eyes dart to the strange trio before swallowing and talking in a low voice to Cyran. "It might be easier to track the beast when it comes tonight. I am sure that the sheep make a fuss when the ogre grabs them, so we just listen for the bleating and follow the bastard right back to his den. He'll die with an empty stomach." A sadistic grin gnarls Ogrin's face as he slurps a spoonful of stew. "Otherwise, we'll spend hours tomorrow trying to find the ogre's tracks. And besides, if we're lucky, you'll have the room to yourself tonight." It might be a bit concerning to an outside viewer how happy Ogrin sounds about the proposition.

    Ogrin is going to roll an Insight check to see if the tiefling and their gnome friends are acting shady.

    Cyran would like Ogrin's enthusiasm more if he thought it wouldn't get both of them killed.

    "Sure. Let's go tonight. Sid, we'll pay for the room now, but we might not be back until late, or even early morning."

    He turns to the farmers, "Can you show us where you tie up the old sheep tonight. We'll stake it out and follow the ogre back to its lair."

    Finally, he goes over and introduces himself to the tiefling and the gnomes. "Good evening. My name is Cyran and over there is my friend Ogrin. I'm sure you've heard us talking, but we've come to help with the local ogre problem. What brings the three of you to this town?"

    Sid looks at the cleric. Aye I will have your room ready.

    Tis Mika's farm tonight, I will take you myself. says the young farmer. Just get me when you are ready.

    The tiefling looks up as Cyran approaches. You adventurers? We pay. he pulls out a large bag. Ship in Swamp, you come. You help. Now we go?

    Ogrin's brow wrinkles in confusion at the tiefling's broken speech. Going out on a limb, he tries to talk to the gnomes in Dwarfish. "What's all this about a ship, then?"

    Cyran doesn't speak dwarf so isn't sure what Ogrin has said. But not being one to sit back and let others talk, he continues in common, tying to keep it simple.

    "We have to kill an ogre first. If we survive, we could help you. Would you like to help us with the ogre?"

    The tiefling looks at the elf. We merchants. We pay. You come.

    The two gnomes look at the dwarf and do not respond to his asking.
    Their clothes appear to be patched and have been worn for many days. The only weapons seem to be daggers.

    Cyran listens to Ogrin talk to the merchants and considers their offer. He looks over at the farmers that they just said they would help. There's no way he's going with these merchants before we look into the ogre.

    "Good question, Ogrin. Yes, and what do you all need help with?"

    Ogrin look skeptical, but he thinks he has a rudimentary understanding of the problem. He tells the merchant, "I swore an oath that this ogre would be dealt with. If you truly want us that badly, you can bloody wait until the morrow. Then either we both go with you or he will." Ogrin tilts his head toward Cyran. "But we are not leaving this village until the ogre is dead. I don't give a damn whether that's convenient for you or not. Do you understand me?" A look of dwarfen stubbornness is directed the tiefling's way.

    Cyran nods along to Ogrin's speech. He'd not yet heard the dwarf speak so long at once and Cyran agrees with the sentiment. He tries to say it more smoothly but really just reiterates Ogrin's point.

    "We can help you tomorrow. Stay here tonight and we could go with you in the morning. How much are you paying anyway?"

    He speak fast. Tomorrow we go. Gold much. the tiefling says first looking at the dwarf and then at Cyran.

    A scream high pitched and un comprehensible pierces the general sounds of the inn. Sid drops what he is doing and makes his way to the door.

    Cyran shakes the tiefling's hand, looking at Ogrin to make sure he agrees,

    "Alright. We'll meet you here for breakfast tomorrow. You can pay our bill and then we can go see what the problem is on your ship."

    Making sure Ogrin is with him, he then walks over to the farmers. "Whenever you all are ready, show us where the ogre bait is tonight and we'll do our best."

    While Cyran is agreeing to the tiefling's terms and conversing with the farmers, Ogrin looks at him in utter disbelief. "Are you bloody deaf, elgi?!" The dwarf picks up his maul and joins Sid at the door to see what could make such an ungodly noise.

    Cyran finally registers the scream and stops his chatting, looking a little flustered. One last time, he addresses both the farmers and the merchants,

    "Uh, give us a few minutes, everyone. We'll be right back."

    He follows Ogrin to the door, donning his shield as he goes.

    The tiefling shakes his head in understanding and clasps his hand.

    The wailing is louder since Sid has opened the door. Gillian, what is it? Where is Mika?

    The human female continues to cry and then collapses at Sid's feet. Help me get her to the fire, she must of run all the way from her farm.

    Ogrin drops his maul and puts his stocky frame under one of the woman's arms, helping to get her to the fire. What could have happened?

    Cyran runs out and looks around for any threats as he helps Sid get the woman into the tavern.

    "Are you ok, ma'am? What happened?"

    The woman is completely exhausted, sweat runs from her head even in the cold of the early night. Sid brings a small glass of liquid and pours it into her mouth, she sputters and her eyes finally open. Mika, he hasn't returned from taking the old ewe out. He should have been back hours ago.

    Ogrin's entire body grows rigid as the weight of the woman's words sink in. He gives Sid an intense look and asks one simple question. "Where?"

    Cyran knows where this is going with Ogrin.

    "Sid, if this is something that can be fixed by pointing Ogrin's maul at it, just tell us where we should go to look for Mika. Who are they and what do they look like?"

    Ogrin rushes back to the table and scarfs down his remaining stew and bread with a speed that would make even a troll blush. No way he was going to waste his last meal! He then drains the rest of the mug of ale in one go and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. "I've got everything that I need, lad." All he has to do is pick up his maul and Ogrin is ready to go.

    Cyran dunks the end of his bread into the stew, leaves the rest of the stew, and takes the bread to eat on the way.

    "Sid, save us a room. We'll be back later tonight."

    Turning to the young farmer, "Show us the way. We have all of our possessions on us."

    Even though the young farmer is human, he seems to know his way in the dark. He points out in a north east direction. Mika's farm is that way. But he was supposed to tie the ewe to a stake just around this hill . he points in an eastern direction.


    Ooc you have crossed the bridge to get here and a large mansion was just west of the bridge on this side of the river. The terrain is very hilly.

    Cyran looks in the directions the young farmer pointed, nodding once he understands.

    "Thank you. I am Cyran and this is Ogrin. What is your name? Do you know how to use a crossbow? Every little bit might help. If you join us, you'll want to stay far away from the ogre and run if it looks like we will fall."

    He holds out his light crossbow and offers it to the young farmer.

    Cyran hands over the crossbow and quiver. He continues to walk towards the apparent campfire.

    "If we get in trouble, let Sid know we're sorry. Ogrin, do you want to take point while we sneak up to the fire? John, stay next to me for now. If we see the ogre, find something to hide behind and keep shooting at it as fast as you can."
