RISE OF THE RUNELORDS

Chapter 2-02: Walking Scarecrows Sandpoint

attachment.php?attachmentid=107622&d=1667902715Bright and early in the morning, the day after returning from the sanatorium, Sheriff Hemlock is banging on your doors and insisting that you get up and meet him at the garrison.

image.png.665da45ee3e66971d5a1507012c1428f.pngOnce you get there the sheriff introduces you to a local farmer, Maester Grump. The man is covered in mud, like he's fallen in it and crawled for several miles through it to reach Sandpoint. His hat, a scruffy, straw affair, is wet with sweat. He takes it off to fan his bald pate several times before plonking it back on his head for a few minutes.

Grump speaks with a strong, yokel accent, speaks very quickly and breathlessly and has to stop to explain himself several times, "It were awful, Sirs and Madams, awful it were."

"As I were telling th' Sheriff afore, I seen 'em. Scarecrows stalkin' the night. They come from the Hambley place. Things ain't been right there fer days. Yes'erday we wen' up there, jus' t' make sure it were alright. Y'unerstand?"

"These things, they attacked us, they did. Came outta the dark, straw an' claws they was. Bitin', murderin' everyone. They even ate the dogs!"

You can smell strong liquor on Maester Grump's breath. This may well lead him to enhancing his description somewhat. Moonshine may also be affecting his memory

As this point the sheriff cuts him off, "It would seem that there's been an attack on Hambley farm by some pack of creatures not unlike the one that attacked the sawmill. I can't spare any of the watch to go out there so I'm asking that you attend."

"My men picked up Grump when he arrived in the early hours and brought him straight here. He was shouting about scarecrows coming to life. At the moment, I believe him. Too much has happened to discount his tale. I'm concerned that he may actually be underplaying what he's seen."

"Hambley Farm is south of Ashen Rise, before you get to Soggy River, about two hours walk. I'd like you to set off straight away."

Strangely, Reda has a bit of a headache the next day. Perhaps the weather's changing or its all the pollen in the air. Surely not the mead. She's feeling a bit distracted and only half listening until he mentions the consumption of canines, "Not the dogs!" Reda gasps, her hand pulling her pet Luna to her side. "We have to go at once!" She says to the group, then kneels down, face to face with Luna "You're staying here in town today girl. Now who's a good girl? Yes you are!"

DakmoortheFierce-Token.png.3f3317adf00645eeb6cc857323711434.png~ Dakmoor the Fierce, Shoanti Barbarian of the Sklar-Quah Clan ~


Dakmoor cares not about the optics of his over the top yawn as the old farmer tells his tale. With a genuine lack of concern Dakmoor responds to the sheriff. "Hemlock. After cleaning up the mess at the crazy house last night, it is clear that my debt is repaid and my service is complete. Now, Dakmoor is always up for rescuing a damsel or six in distress, but Dakmoor doesn't work for free. May I assume that we will be properly be salaried for this sort of work on retainer?"

Huyrn raises one eyebrow and sets his coffee down before glancing at Dakmore. "You do know that if we let Reda go alone we'll have a built-in damsel in distress. No offense meant Reda - any of us wandering into that on our own would end up 'in distress'." He picks his mug back up and sips before adding "If this is related to the murderer that tried to cast blame on Melonie, we may be involved a bit anyway... Come to think of it, stench, claws, someone hospitalized with ghoul fever... I wonder if this is all related."

"Oh, aye," Reda nods, "Save me, ye big strong man." She puts the back of her hand to her brow melodramatically, "Save me from the dog eating monsters! And the ghouls! And strong drink!" She laughs, breaking character. "I'm sure the sheriff will have a reward big enough to drag our purses to the ground waiting after all our good deeds, but I'm not one to demand payment up front. Let's get on with it!"

Dakmoor smiles at the group as he can see that they aren't used to proper negotiations with government officials. "Hear, hear... nobody asked for an advance... I would just like to secure a measure of proper compensation for our expected return from our undoubtedly successful adventure!"


OOC: After leveling up and resting for the night, I have Dak at 43/55 hp.

"Oh, no. He's clearly not a dog person. Bite him, Luna!" Reda says, flashing her quick smile as she jokes with the big man. Luna just cocks her head to the side inquisitively. "Oh fine. He's probably too tough to bite anyway."

Dolora
attachment.php?attachmentid=76230&d=1517777957

Dolora yawns, as she is always a little sleepy right after she wakes up. (Her usual practice when not adventuring is to wake at dawn, memorize her spells, and then return to bed.) "Of course we must investigate, for the safety of Sandpoint," she says with conviction. "I will certainly go with you, Reda. I am confident that Sheriff Balor will find a way to fairly compensate us all for our efforts however he can."
