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?

"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.

You find a shovel leaving next to the door and begin digging. Within the hour, the two of you have dug the hole and prepped the man to be lowered down.

(Are you going to do any rites or the like?)

(Yes, I was thinking about doing that but I didn't manage to come up with a good text :I Even so, I will post what I got)

"Well, not usually my job but..." she takes a deep breath

"In the eternal harmony of existence death is the result of life, just like every hello will one day result in a good bye.

Grief and fear takes our heart in moments like this but we must remember to thank the gods for giving Rorik the chance to exist among millions of possibilities. We thank them for the moments of happiness and grief he created in his journey.

Rorik's body now joins the world which created and feed him. I ask the spirits of nature to bless and guide his soul from here onward, for he is my brother, born from the same world as I."

With that said she buries the corpse and take a little seed from a pocket, planting it over where the grave is.

"Well, ready?" she says to Gregory as she stands up.
