While Kendra is trying to fight back the tears,a loud knocking noise at the door interrupts everyone.
The girl quickly makes herself presentable again,takes her leaving from all of you with a slight bow,then hurries at the door.
She comes back few moments after,accompanied by the older and fat councilman.

Mr. Hearthmount is obviously annoyed,he seems to be in a rush and is almost ignoring all of you,axcept when he sits down and takes a dark leather scroll case off the internal pocket of his jacket.

"Let's have this done,it has been a rough day for everyone.Professor Petros Lorrimor gave me precise intruction to only open and read this scroll when his daughter Kendra Lorrimor would have been present together with the following people :Mr.Sajan Barid Suyyddhaan,Miss Jaylen,Mr.Marzio Vinicio from Almas,Mr.Loren and Miss.Aemrelara."

The coucilman shows to all of you that the professor personal seal is intact,then breaks the wax and open the case,causing a small metal key to fall on the table below with a clattering noise.

He then begins reading the will:

Professor's Will:

“I, Petros Lorrimor, being of sound mind,do hereby commit to this parchement my last will and testament.Let it be known that,with the exception of the specific details below,i leave my home and personal belongings entire to my daughter Kendra.Use them or sell them as you see fit ,my child.

“Yet beyond the bequeathing of my personal effects,this document must serve other needs.I have arranged for the reading of this document to be delayed until all principals can be in attendance,for i have more than inheritance to apportion.I have two final favors to ask.

“To my old friends,i hate to impose upon you all,but there are few others who are capable of appreciating the true significance of what it is i have to ask.As some of you know,i have devoted many of my studies to all manner of evil,that i might know the enemy and inform those better positioned to stand against it.For knowledge of one's enemy is the surest path to victory over its plans.

“And so,over the course of my lifetime,i have seen fit to acquire a significant collection of valuable but dangerous tomes,any one of which in the wrong circumstances could have led to an awkward legal situation.While the majority of these tomes remain safe under lock and key at the Lepistadt University,i fear that a few i have borrowed remain in a trunk in my Ravengro home.While invaluable for my work in life,in death, i would prefer not to burden my daughter with the dark side of my profession,or worse still,the danger of possesing the tomes herself.As such,i am entrusting my chest of tomes to you,posthumously.I ask that you please deliver the collection to my colleagues at the University of Lepistadt,who will put them to good use for the betterment of the cause.

“Yet before you leave for Lepistadt,there is the matter of another favor-please delay your journey one month and spend that period of time here in Ravengro to ensure that my daughter is safe and sound.She has no one to count on now that i am gone,and if you would aid her in setting things in order for whatever she desires over the course of this month,you would have my eternal gratitude.From my savings,i have also willed to each of you a sum of one hundred platinium coins.
For safekeeping,i have left these funds with Embreth Daramid,one of my most trusted friends in Lepistadt-she has been instructed to issue this payment upon the safe delivery of the borrowed tomes no sooner than one month after the date of the reading of this will.

“I, Petros Lorrimor,herby sign this will in Ravengro on this first day of Calistril, in the year 4711 AR “


"You are absolutely right sir.We have a burial to finish,and i'm waited at Mrs.Lorrimor home after this,to read her father's will."


The fat councilman had stood quite far away during the fight,but now approaches Kendra and the travelers came to assist her.

"Mrs. Lorrimor, i don't know how to express my shock.Some of them i manage to recognize, they were all local farmhands,all of low character.I'm sure the lesson your father's friends here gave them will be punishment enough."


This fat,advanced in age man is staring at the coffin,his head low.
He is dressed elegantly,in black and dark grey coat and trousers.
He doesn't seem to notice any of the newly arrived,clad in armors and weapons,travelers.

At his side a much thinner,which also appears a bit younger, man dressed almost the same as the fat councilman nearby.
He nods toward you slightly uttering a "hi"

You can tell from what Kendra just said that the larger one is Coucilman Vashian Hearthmount and the thinner is Coucilman Gharen Muricar
