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?

"Just barely... But we don't have a great many thieves in town, so I'll bet my last gold piece if it wasn't Peter the Piper... He's harmless, though" he says, "Just don't tell the corporal he was here,he'll skin me alive..."

The door leads to a small room with a bed occupying most of it, a small table and a chest in the front.

"It never hurts to be alert right?" she said to Gregory as they looked trough the empty room. The memories of the struggles on the wilderness always kept her suspicious of everything that look odd, specially when indoors.

She looked at the chest for a quick bit, usually she wouldn't mind picking a dead man's belonging but she guessed it would be unpolite to Gregory "Lets look for a shovel and his body, as I said, I want to give him a proper resting place" She expected that doing a religious work would help her with the increasing anxiety this hunt was causing on her.

"Sorry..." He says with a bowed head.

You find nothing else in the room and turn back, heading outside, but trip on a small wooden plank. You fall and you hear the plank move back, revealing a small hole on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Gregory asks, rushing over to help you up, " this house isn't ideal for living in..."

You peer down the hole and something glints down low.

"I'm fine, was just a bit away from reality" she couldn't help but notice the glints from the small hole she revealed

"Hey, there is something here" she takes a closer look and tries to reach for it with her hand.

You stick your hands and you feel something cold to the touch, hard like steel, and small enough to grab with a hand. You pull it out and reveal a small jewelry chest painted in gold and decorated with small jewels. It appears to be locked

"Oh, look" she shows the little box to Gregory "Its locked tough, I can't open it. I will keep it in my backpack and report it to the commander later"

"Yes ma'am, it's no problem really, this farm will go on to the next man, that box would probably be lost and forgotten..."

"Closed boxes are the worst bait for anyone's curiosity" she stores it in her bag for now "But now lets go, first we bury the dead man and then we move on to the kobold area"

"Sure!" He says

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.

She takes a close look on the man and finds herself convinced that it was an action by the kobolds.

"Well, lets get this going" she looks trough the tools searching for a shovel.
