Masters of Eothia 1-20

With an almost crazed look on her face "WAROBI IS STILL ALIVE, WE NEED TO FIND HIM!!" grabbing onto Cora and shaking her with excitement "He can for sure help us help you get your necklace off and help us find all the things we're looking for. He's pretty much the strongest". Without waiting for Cora to respond she will turn to the Dwarf swaying like she's drunk and sluring her words "Thankssss sew musss"

 5 Performance 

Crispy doesn't like being shook. She looks at you with mild annoyance as you shake her, then after a moment as you turn to the dwarf, pushes you away. 

"Who the **** is Warobi?" she asks.

Cora- "This world... All of it's history is lost. We know barely anything of it. All I know is that the land we reside is named Eothia and much of it is untaimed. The world my father's tales told of was civilized, advanced and... magical. From what it seems, the great calamity happened in that world, or at that time, which has resulted in this present moment." (You also remember that Yasei did some reading up on Eothia in the library at the Hunter's guild. Maybe Yasei can help piece together this puzzle? You guys can roll history checks if you like.)

Dani and Yasei- Torgus looks over Watatsumi and Dani. He rubs his beard and runs his fingers gingerly over the wounds. "These are not the same. However I recognise one." He looks at Dani. "What did this to you? It is the tell tale sign of something which has been assaulting some of our livestock over the past day or so..." He shifts over to Watatsumi, whose breathing seems heavy and restrained. "This marvelous creature... This is a different wound. It is poisoned. Corrupted. I will need time with it, to help it heal. Leave it with me." He scoops Watatsumi up and places him gently down on some blankets. 

Rosli- Torgus gives a little chuckle. "You are, without a doubt the apprentice he spoke so highly of. Perhaps, you can help us as he did..."

To all- He addresses each of you. "We've had trouble upon trouble of late. This place.. this is not my people's town. We were driven from our home by a terrible, frightening spirit creature! It's eyes gaze through your soul, paralyzing us with fear. It took one of our people's sons and we can't get back to out village now! It dwells there, alone... I was unable to face it, and now my people have had to create this makeshift village. Now that we're here, something has begun taking our livestock! Draining the animals from their vitality and leaving dried husks. The puncture wound- similar to that one you have there, missy *pointing at Dani* is identical. You must be tougher than most to be able to survive it's attack.."

Looking at Cora "Warobi sensei is my master and he's missing, he's a really nice Dwarven man who loves to drink!" turning to the rest of the group "We have to help them! Especially because we don't really have any leads on what else to do right now. Please Cora?"

"Alright, alright!" She says. "Alright. God."

Yasei will go do her princess-in-training thing and go chat with the other residents of this area (Performance: 4), wowing them with stories of dragons and wondrous cities on the other side of the world.  Very badly, apparently...

Torgus informs you that their village is about two hours travel to the north east. You're welcome to rest on their makeshift pallets as beds until you're ready.

Yasei draws a crowd of the most young and gullible children with her stories.

Crispy finds a corner to rest in, not paying attention to what else is going on around.

Once Rosli is done harassing Torgus she will take a seat firmly beside Cora "Thanks for agreeing to help these people, hopefully it'll help lead us towards more things to help you and towards my master. You know, Cora... I don't think you're as mean as you let on." letting her tail droop across Cora's head.

Crispy shoos Rosli's tail away. She gives her an annoyed look, then barks in a quick sarcastic laugh, slightly amused with the question.

"And why would you think that, cat?" 

[What's the plan, gang?]

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to the village (two hours north) we go!

Quote from o_Merlin_o >>

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to the village (two hours north) we go!

 I concur.

"You know," says Crispy, carefully, dangerously, to Rosli "One thing I hate more than a cat who doesn't pay attention, is a cat who doesn't answer my question."

Rolling her head back towards Cora with a sly smile "Because you wanna help these people... and ME!"

Crispy snorts and looks away.

"Only if it means one, I get to find out what's going on with Aerik, and two, that I get to go home. No other reason."

 Two Hours North

You come upon what you presume to be the village Torgus described. It is as he described- a more established farming village in the middle of some farmland planes. As you approach, it is getting closer to Dusk as the red moon dominates, and an eerie feeling looms over you all, for you cannot hear a sound. There is no sign of any wildlife here, no sign of any creatures, only the buzzing of flies swarming over rotten rations.

Are there any doors or windows open?

If yes can I see any movement in them? 

10 Perception

"Ghosts are real... right?" Gulp

Doors and windows are indeed left open. Buckets lay thrown on the ground, belongings spilling out of doorways and houses. People have abandoned this village in a hurry.

From where you are, (on the outskirts) you do not see any movement.

With your keen ears, you think you catch the sound of a sad moan on the wind.

Can I tell the direction the sad moaning is coming from?
