Ok, So Cari is left in the able hands of your companions Carrus. You know she will be safe with them, there is no one better suited to protect her. She is in and out of conciousness, mostly out. This has been a trying experience for her.
Carrus you head off in search of the Orphanage, not really sure where it may be you have to ask some folk you pass by. One is a older woman, sat on a chair on the side of the road. She tells you that the Orphanage is the largest building in the eastern district and not easily missable.
An hour of walk threw the citys winding and twisting streets you come into a square that is mostly barren. From here you can see the top of a large, Asylum like building. That must be the orphanage you think and b-line straight for it. As you get to the front of the building, it is indeed large. Made from worked stone and pieces of timber, It does have the appearance of a Asylum, It may have been one at some point. Outside you can see dozens of children playing and laughing.

You do not see your nephew amongst the children, but there is alot of children here. 40 or 50 so you may be overlooking the boy. You do see a older woman, late forties with long grey hair and wrinkled skin sat on a simple chair, watching the children.

Excuse me, ma'am,says Carrus in his most polite voice. I'm looking for my nephew Carrus, son of Cari. Is he here? It's some time since I saw him, so I don't recognise him.
The older woman looks at you with a trusting smile. She doesn't speak but stands and looks out over the children. She looks among them for a few moments before pointing over to a small, Blonde hair boy who is playing with 3 other children. Happily throwing a ball back and forth.

(How long is it since Carrus saw his nephew? Would the boy recognise him?)
Carrus, uncomfortably aware of recent events and how easily he can be intimidating without thinking about it, holds back. Would you mind bringing him over? I don't want to alarm the other children; he indicates his armour and weapons but I need to take him to his mother. He frowns. I suppose you don't really know who I am, do you? Do you know his mother? Any other members of the family who could come to collect him?
The old woman shakes her head at your questions Carrus, she is simply the adult in charge at the moment. You imagine she has to watch over MANY children. She sighs and steps from the chair, her back creaks and pops as she slowly, painfully so. Walks over to where young Carrus is.
She catches the boys attentions and points over at you. His eyes brighten and light up when he see's you, The boy drops a stick he had been playing with and runs towards you; Shouting. "UNCLE CARRUS!"

Carrus holds out his hands and picks up the boy (carefully, given he's in heavy armour). Look how big you are now, nephew! He nods at the woman, and lifts his nephew up onto his shoulders (or leads him by the hand, depending on how big he is) and takes him back to where his mother and the others are. How many days were you here, lad?
He's not very big, rather small for his age actually. He is happy and all smiles as you lift him to your shoulder. "Oh not too long Uncle, a few days maybe? The kids were fun and the lady was really nice!"
You bring him back to where Cari and the Others are. She is asleep at this point. Little Carrus jumps from your shoulders and runs to her. Nudging her shoulder, Attempting to wake her.

Cari does wake up after a few moments. Upon which her face fills with tears once more. She takes her son into her arms and holds him tight. The boy embraces his Mother but is seemingly unaware of the danger she had faced. "Mommy's so happy your safe." She kisses his forehead before pulling you into the embrace Carrus. "Thank you little brother." Little carrus is squirming now, trying to escape the vice-like embrace as hard as he can.

Cari follows close behind you Carrus, with Little Carrus happily skipping alongside you. You lead your companions and family threw the gate and back out into the farmlands, following a narrow trail so as to not trample any produce the Farmers have been working on. You lead them past the livestock and wheat fields up. Walking for almost an Hour until you grow close to the shore of the Aegean. From here you can see it, A humble single story home. Made of packed clay,Stone and wood. There are 3 seperate fenced in areas, One for cows, one for pigs and one for chickens. In the Cow enclosure you can see a young man, Roughly the same height as carrus but with far darker hair. He is busy shoveling refuse and doesnt notice you until little Carrus calls out to him.
"Uncle Felonius!" Felonius looks up from his work and smiles threw somewhat yellowed teeth. "My my, What have we here? Carrus, Cari and Little Car, And some new faces." He hops the fence and greets you all. The man has the build of a farmer but is noticeably not visually similar to Carrus or Cari. He extends his hand to you Carrus. "Good to see you once more Carrus, Your Father should be in the barn with your mother and Diedre. Patro is around somewhere, goofing off from his chores."

Carrus smiles, glad to be home. Then his face darkens as he recalls the circmstances.
(Did Cari tell Carrus anything of what happened to her? He asked her to recount the tale, so that everyone would know a bit more before he arrived home.)
Uncle, these are my friends, Anas, Cybele and Dicaeus. Heroes and champions, each one. He frowns. Formal introductions can wait. I need everyone together. Please Uncle, find Patro. He looks at his friends. I want to introduce you to my parents. He smiles slightly, and leads them into the barn, with Cari and his nephew in tow.
Felonius looks surprised as you name him Uncle, He laughs and pats your plated shoulder. "Sure my Friend, I will fetch your brother. You know Im not your uncle right? Im married to your sister, that makes us brothers."
Cari did her best to recount what had transpired with her. Something about her boss owing the wrong people money and were unable to pay it back in time so the buisness was taken as collateral and the employee's harassed. You do not know what happened to her boss.
Barn is a loose term for this shack, while it acts as a barn it's more of a tool shed in design. A Single story open frame with a thatch roof. It serves as a barn but is not what one would think of at the mention of one. The open front of the shack allows you to see an Elderly man and Woman and a younger woman. The Man has deeply darkened skin, Male pattern baldness has taken his silver hair and grey stubble lines his jawline. He is helping the young woman, Who looks much like Cari, only younger. In the process of birthing a Calf. The Older woman looks feeble and sickly, Grey hair with shocks of dark blonde, tied back in a tight bun behind her head.
"MY BOY, Just in time! Come the calf is nearly out, we need someone with a bit more strength to finish the job." The Elderly man yells as he see's you arrive.

Plan:
1. Leave Cari with the others
2. Go to orphanage and find nephew; reunite nephew with Cari
3. Go to family farm; persuade family to come to Sparta for protection.
4. Deliver family to Leonidus via Cybele's tree teleporter.
5. Kill Gorgons
I feel that if I don't do 1-4, I'll come back and find my whole family has been slaughtered. But I don't want to tie up lots of real time on it, because I think everyone's keen to get to the main quest. It's up to you, DM.
[OoC]: Solid plan.

Carrus eases up, and lets his sister and nephew go. Tell me, he says simply.
When he has heard the full story of what happened from his sister's point of view, he will turn to the others.
Please come. It won't take long. We can bring my family to Sparta. To safety. Thank you, he says to them all. For protecting my family.
If the others agree, he will lead the group to his family's farm, introduce them and persuade his family to come to Sparta for their own protection.
