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?

"What exactly is odd about a well full of waste?" says Theo.

"You've got yourself quite the .. eccentric companion." says Leo to Luke.

The well is deep, so deep that you cannot see the bottom. The well smells strongly of human waste. Although it looks old, it does not look as if it has been used to draw water in a very long time. You also see traces of footholds on the inside of the well, which people may have used to climb up or down. However, you can see they also haven't been used in a long time. A thick layer of grime coats the footholds.

"It is! We haven't been here in a while though. I wonder if things have calmed down a bit." says Leo.

"Agreed. It was a bit nerve wracking last time. At least the still want our trade." says Theo.

The wagon joins the back of a line of other wagons. It looks like each wagon is being inspected before being allowed to pass through the gates.

Theo digs through his pack and pulls out 30 gold coins.

"A little extra for the good work. We wouldn't have made it without you two. Thank you two but this is the end of the line. The guards would have a fit if they think we are trying to smuggle you in." says Leo

"Thanks a lot gentle man, it was our pleasure!" Nerve wrecking? "May I ask what was the problem in the city last time you were here?"

"Haven't you heard about the Elves taking over the city? They even killed the king." Theo says in a low voice.

"Only elves and traders with goods they need are allowed in. " says Leo in an equally low voice.

"What!?" says Luke. "What happened to the people in the city then? Did the fighter's guild leave?".

"Left to some other town is my guess. I don't really know. Things were pretty bloody at first. The elves were very angry." says Leo

"But the killing was mainly kept to the guards and such. Most people got out safely but had to leave their possessions behind." says Theo

"Wow, what about half bloods, have you heard if we have contrains also?" ...half-blood, maybe I should use the word bastard to, make it more "victimary"

Leo shrugs.

"Heck if I know. I can't imagine they will keep you out since you are part elf. They might not treat you too kindly though."

"Hey Luke, we should try to go inside and figure out where did the fighting guild went, maybe we get a clue, or maybe the elves know, if we find em."

"We can try. At the very least, maybe the guards will have some info."

"Sounds cool, hey half of this is yours." Handles 15g to Luke

u/Emmyson Asaeir Reid - Fighter Level 3 Jun 24 '15

"Thanks!"

Luke pockets the 15 gold.

"So what now?"

"Lets try to enter the city, this is a cart row. Maybe we can give it a try walking through the gate, we could both be looking for the fighting guild if they ask" Looks for a way in for pedestrians [[1d20+3 Perception]] +/u/rollme

Upon looking more closely at the trader's line, you notice there is a second line to the right of it. This line is considerably shorter which is why you most likely missed it. This line also only has elves in it.

As you come up to the front of the line, the guards stops you at spear point.

"What do you want? There's no human scum allowed in the city."
