Well, what ever we do we should decide quickly. The longer we wait the more innocents die, and the less baddies i get to fry. Urchan's fingers begin to spark again.

Gildar heads upstairs, and goes to talk to the bartender. "I don't suppose you know a way that we can get to Southwyck quicker than walkin', do ya?" 

(Freedom took the note from the post before accompanying the group upstairs.)

(FYI, this is what Freedom looks like:)

Gildar heads upstairs, and goes to talk to the bartender. "I don't suppose you know a way that we can get to Southwyck quicker than walkin', do ya?" 

 The half orc bartender's only reply is a gesture of his head to the back door at the end of the bar. After the silent gesture he immediately draws an ale and turns away to one of the old men at the bar. 

Freedom watches the bartender move away and hums a single note. "Helpful," he comments sarcastically. He quietly growls something in Abyssal and does a funny maneuver with his hand and the ale in the bartender's hand turns bright blue as he places it down on the bar for the old man. He then turns and walks toward the back door, ignoring the sounds of confusion behind him.

Urchan follows the group out. Her bare feet making a distinct soft padding sounds. 

Gildar smiles for a moment at the blue drink, then follows the group outside, his greataxe thumping the ground every few seconds.

Screech watches scene with a throaty churtle and then leaves with the rest of the group, not looking back to the dire interior of the pub.

Laucian wordlessly follows the group out the back door, interested to see what provisions have been made for their journey.

As Gildar gets outside, he looks around for anything that might have been left for the group.

6  (Perception)

Nothing he can find. Got distracted by a mosquito in his ear.

When Freedom pulls the door it opens to a brick wall. One of the old men at the bar snickers. "You're not the only one with tricks. Try the front door." Outside the front door horses are waiting and saddled. You ride out to the edge of Brixtonia and along the shore, leaving the city and passing into country side. Ahead a sign arches over the well worn dirt road. [WELCOME TO SOUTHWYCK]
The bodies of two men hang by their feet from the sign's posts. The body cavities are open and their insides removed. The lettering on the sign above the road has been traced over in blood. Hardly any blood has dripped from the bodies onto the ground below.

Freedom rides up to the body on the right to inspect the wounds to see if they were made with tools or by animals.

Medicine: 14 (if investigation would be better, add 2 to the roll)

 They were cut with a sharp blade.

Without looking back at the others, Freedom says, "Seems to be the right place."

Gildar says, "Ya think?" then walks to the bodies, and cuts them down. "The least we can do is bury them, but we probably don't have time for that. So someone grab that guy and we can at least take them off the road." Gildar takes one of the bodies, and begins to drag it the the side of the road.

Give me a couple minutes and i can have a decent hole dug to bury these ones.  Urchan will demonstrate her Mold Earth ability 

When the holes are ready, Gildar will put the bodies in as carefully as he can. When he stands up, you see some bloodstains on his shirt. It seems to match the previous stains quite well. He then turns to Urchan uncomfortably and says, "Thank ya miss."

Urchan gives a slight curtsy and says Your welcome. Please, call me Urchan  (pronounced like Urchin but with a long A sound)

While watching the earth change on command, Screech strolled over to have a quick look at the corpses. Is there any sign of a pattern concerning potential mutilations other then missing intestines?

Investigation 22

Freedom does not get off his horse to help, but he does watch Urchan as she helps.
