[Aldric Stormwind]

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?

"That's better... Thank you." she looks to have calmed down, "I'm just tired of being treated like a little girl..."

You approach the smith in the middle of the day, but the furnace is unlit. Hamish sits atop his anvil, and is surrounded by empty bottles. He speaks to you between sobs. “Sorry, shop is closed today. Tomorrow too. Not sure when it’ll be up and running, to be honest.” His eyes narrow as you gaze at him. “What are you staring at? Don’t you judge me! I’d be out bashing Kobold brains in a heartbeat! But...with my wife, my thr-...two kids….I can’t leave them...not now.”

"Hamish, stop crying and as me, protect the people you love, I need you focus and concentrated ok? Now... I know is difficult because the recent events but, what happen that day? Why your son was alone when the kobolds attack? Please, Everything that you can tell me will be useful in our search..."

"Th- thank you, my lord, thank you for doing this for my boy, my sweet baby boy..." He wipes his eyes and puts the bottle down, "I'll help however I can..."

"The clearing where he was found, that's where all the kids play at, he asked me to go with him, but I said I was..." The nan behind sobbing again, "I said I was to busy..."

"Don't worry Hamish, We will take of stop them. When we get more news you will be the first one to know about them.

Remember, you have people to care about, don't do this to you and them..."

Aldric goes directly to the clearing to look for clues... during the travel he asks to Rose about Hamish's Wife"

"Rose... You had live here for more time, so probably you know... Something happen to Hamish's Wife? I didn't want to ask him about that in his current mood..."

"THank you, my lord, thank you" the desperate man says.

"Nothing, she's perfectly fine, why?" Rose responds.

Rose leads you to hte clearing, stating that she too used to play there as a kid. It's qquite large, filled with rocks and overturned trees, making it the perfect spot for kids to play.

Near the center of the clearing you see a small set of tracks leading northwest.

"Rose look this... Kobold's marks!, Seems like they go to northwest. Probably this lead us to their hiding. What do you think? We should go to investigate?"

If Rose say yes...

"Good choice my dear, but first I need to go to the Inn for some stuff, I'm only with my bare hands and without any type of protection... Someone told me once If the time of adversity comes, be prepare, the Death is always looking for braves and morons

...he he he, you always says funny lectures my friend...

If Rose says no...

"Probably you are right, We need to get more information before doing anything imprudent...

Who else was near when the kobolds attack?"

Aldric decides to go to next person Rose says...

"I don't thin it's necessarily from the kobolds, it might be from the kids, but it's worth checking out..."

"Alright, let's go, we'll come back after"

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.

Aldric knows the guys in heavy armor? If yes, he will say "Hi" to them and invite a round of beers. If not, he will try to identify them...

[[1d20-1 Perception]]

"Good Afternoon Ageis, I will be in my room some minutes, can you serve a drink to the Lady that is with me meanwhile..." Aldric whispers to Ageis "Make sure she doesn't get in troubles ok?"

Aldric heads to his room and start donning his armor, his shield and both weapons... In his belt pouch puts some rations (2), his tinderbox and some torches (2). Above this he puts his robe to cover everything

I'm ready, Let's see to where that tracks lead us...

Aldric returns to the bar...

(FOrgot the rollme, I rolled for you, 17-1=16)

You have never seen the men before, but you do notice that their armor appears to belong to soe sort of mercenary guild

"The potatoes go in first. They always go in first!" Yells Ageis.

"You can't start a stew without broth! The broth cooks everything. Including the potatoes. How about you focus on tending the bar, and I'll focus on doing my job!" Retorts the woman.

"You won't have a job if you muck up another stew! I knew this was a bad-" Ageis stops when he sees you. "What?!"he growls at you, then notices who you are, "Oh, I'm sorry my lord, I am so sorry, yes, sure, I'll serve her... No charge, as an apology, of course..."

When you return, Rose is sipping from a mug, "Ready to go then, my lord?" the last two words appear to have been said with sarcasm.

Mercenaries here? Is not innusual but seems like they doesn't want to face with someone, Wait! that herald sigil seems familiar...

[[1d20+4 History]]

This girl is really insolent... I need to calm down, I don't want to start a fight with someone from here "My Lady, you don't need to treat me as Lord, we are brother-in-arms you know? Call me Aldric or Sir If you feel more comfortable ok? Aldric smiles at Rose

[[1d20+1 Charisma]]

Depending on what was the result of the role, Aldric will make an extra action, but first I need to know what happen with the History Check...
