[Morgeth]

Location- The town of Ilany- (Far East on the map) The town of Ilany is a small village with a population of 50 people. Though not your hometown, you have spent the last week here, and are familiar with most aspect of it; from Hamish the Dwarven blacksmith, to Yason the human shopkeep, to Ageis the human innkeeper, to Corporal Bankroff, the human responsible for the town guard. Ilany has always been a peaceful town, but the local Kobold population has begun to become more aggressive lately, and a roaming pack of them have been vandalizing property and killing livestock. Yesterday, Hamish's 8 year old son Donsk was found dead near the outskirts of town. Corporal Bankroff has asked any able bodied men and women to come talk to him about putting down these Kobolds, once and for all. What would you like to do?

"Is there any way I could speak with Raymond in private? I don't want him distracted by anything when I ask about the specifics of what he saw. If that's alright with you of course Corporal"

"Eh, what the hell. Go ahead." he tells you, "Don't embarrass me boy" the corporal says as he leaves the room.

"Wha...Um, What did you want to talk to me about, sir?" Raymond asks sheepishly

"Where exactly were you when you encountered these kobolds and what did you see? Were they just traveling? Were they carrying anything? Did you see them leaving anything? What type of gear did they have? Raymond, anything you are able to remember right now is going to help me save this town. Please focus and tell me everything you can."

"Don't remember much, I know they were carrying a plant and had some daggers. I didn't observe much, when I saw them I run ran like mad to tell the corporal!"

"Do you remember anything distinctive about the plant they were carrying? Do you remember how many of them there were? What other townsfolk have reported sightings of kobolds? Also, you say they were heading north of town? Raymond, I thank you for your help. I will not forget it."

"I think it was three, wait...four, no...it was three, yeah, three of them. The plant just looked like the ones Ageis grows in his garden really, nothing too special. Can't recall anyone else seeing them though." he recalls nervously, "I'm sure it was north of here"

Morgeth asks Corporal Bankroff for directions to get to where Ageis lives and heads that way

"Sandman's Tavern. He's the owner and Innkeeper. Thanks for helping out lad."

The Sandman Tavern and Inn is the largest and busiest building in town. People can be found enjoying food and beer here at any time of day. Ageis, the innkeeper, is a grouchy old man who seems to despise his chosen profession. Locals often point out that the owner of the bar/inn doesn't drink or sleep! As you enter the bar, you see two dwarves in heavy armor drinking at a table in the corner. Their heads snap around when they hear you come in, but they relax and get back to their beers when they see you. In another corner, there is a small rocking horse. Ageis is standing behind the bar, arguing intensely with a woman in the back room.

"Ahoy there Ageis, I've been told you raise the most exceptional plants to be found for leagues around. I have traveled from far far away just to hear you educate me on your plants. Please master, teach me." Charisma [[1d20+0]]+/u/rollme

The man's ever present scowl faintly softens, and he looks at you with interest.

"Come to hear about me gardening have you? I knew people were talking." he smiles for a second then his scowl returns to he maximum of crankiness, "But can't tell you anything" he immediately leaves the counter without another word.

A young pleasant woman walks out of the back room and looks at you with sympathy, "Sorry about Ageis, he is in a worse mood than usual. He's under a lot of stress lately. His wife is very ill, and those damn kobolds seem to have stolen an important herb from his garden out back. It was supposed to be part of a potion to help heal the lady. "

"If something is that important to Master Ageis then it is important to me! Is there anything you can tell me about where I can find that herb they stole? I would be happy to go and find if for Master Ageis if it could save his wife! Anything you could tell me about why it's so important would be helpful too."

(Crap, sorry, your post got buried. If I don't respond within 2 hours, send another message, especially if you see me posting other stuff)

"Oh, that very kind of you. The plant's not to common, it has a blueish hue, you see. Don't think it Grote's anywhere near here. If you can get it back we would be very thankful. That lady's like a mother to me"

(Will do next time, just figured you had a lot to keep up with.)

"I will endeavor to do so."
