The man stands up and whips around, face chaning to a shade of red from anger and exertion
"are you stupid, do you want to end up draped off the walls like everyone else, honesty, standing right out front the castle, right before true-dark, how stupid can you be.honestly if it wasn't for the fact we are now all bared in i would tell you to **** off for being so ungrateful for someone who saved you life"
"i'm sorry for my friends rudeness, we mean no trouble, i thank you for your help from whatever you have"
"as you can tell we are not around here, please do explain the issue, we have only come here to find out more on why our village is being taxed so hard lately"
"Names Corvus, would you give me the honer or yours?"
"My names Faulk, and im sorry that you came here aswell. If your getting into the keep i doubt thats going to happen. That gate hasnt opened in months, not since the first night of this nightmare.
Oh, right, new people.
A few months ago there was a minor rebellion against the Xenel, the lord in this province. Their was a pitched battle made it past the gates and into the castle grounds. It was a bloodbath, thr city guards couldnt hold against such numbers so fast. Night fell and poticullis was closed and sealed shut with everyone inside. You wouldnt believe the screams,the next day, the hill, thr castle and the walls were literally painted in blood and the temains of the people were everywhere. Since that night the keep hasnt re opened and there is no longer a moon. If we dont put lights up, its so dark you cant even see your hands. "
"that is an issue, but how is the city being run?, if the gates havent opened then who has been asking the towns, including ours for these higher tiths?"
"how are the rest of the town fairing?, has a counter rebellion been organized?"
"guards keep order, and in the garrison, the leader of the military, the Castellean is apparently running things but noones actully seen him in weeks. And the unburdened, a cult, makes people disappear as the smallest sign of dissent. You can tell them by their markings. Higher markings have more marks and they are carved into them with a blade, low levels have tattoos instead. The town is ****ed and there are few real jobs going around and many business are shut down by the unburdened or ransacked and burnt, the guards allow people in, but its very very hard to get out again. Food is rare as rhe docks are off limits, no idea why but noonr ever goes there and all suppiles have being cut off for a month or so"
"are there others like you? , anyone else that you know who can help? "
Corvus turns to James (sorry forgot your characters name haha)
"it seems there's no chance of us helping our village with the town like this, and with a low chance of getting out, it's either risking leaving or staying and helping these people, what do you think"

a nod to Corvus
"we'll stay and help, but yes, do you know if there's any groups within the city that want out/or to over throw these people?"
