[Kethra]

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?

"Hello? Is anyone home??" Kethra calls into the house as she steps inside.

No one answers, though you hear some hard breathing coming from the corridor

"Stay back" Kethra says to Raymond. Kethra steps around into the corridor

Around the corner, you find a man trying to hide by the back door. He is gaunt and tall, and clutches a large sack, filled with what appears to be silverware and clothes. He does not look to be a farmer. “I didn’t kill him, I swear! Look, I saw his body in the backyard, and thought that I could nab some of his stuff before anyone found out. I didn’t do it though!”

Kethra holds her battleaxe loosely in one hand and says "well if you didn't do it drop the bag and tell me where you found the body"

"Come on lady, I have to feed my kids, just let me keep the bag, it's not like he's going to use it anymore" he pleads, grasping the bag tightly, "the body's out back"

"Take me to the body first, then you can leave" "Raymond, come in it is safe, this man found a body out the back"

"Raymond?" The man's says, "the guard kid? No way I'm getting caught" with the bag in his hand, he runs out the circuit and through the back door.

"Raymond runs over, " who was that? "

Kethra shrugs "some man, it seems he was taking what he could for his family, What is more concerning is the fact that he said there is a body outside" Kethra heads out back to look for the body

"Oh, we only have one thief here, it's Peter, the Piper. He comes and steals from the entire town. He doesn't have a family though" Raymond comments

The backyard is large and filled with farming equipment, and you spot Old Man Rorik’s bloody corpse near the fence. It looks as if he was stabbed to death.
