<p>Gibs continues his story. <b>"Settled down here in Ravengro, the one place that didn't seem too concerned with my past. Met a girl, we married, and then she left when we couldn't get anything from the land."</b> He sighs deeply before continuing.</p>

<p>Vitaliy gives the door the final push it needs, after which both Echo and Vitaliy stumble into the room. Kendra is laying on the floor, face down, a hairbrush in her right hand. Dressed in a simple shift, her legs are splayed out behind her. Her head is towards the door, and you can see a long, bloody gash across her forehead. It is still oozing blood which is pooling up beneath her cheek which lays on the floor. She appears to be passed out, and is moaning in her sleep.</p>
<p>Behind Kendra, you see an ornate floor mirror, broken into a thousand shards. Around the edges, the glass is still in place, but shattered, reflecting Kendra's prone body a hundred times over.</p>

<b>"The bestial wolves. I shudder to think what would happen if one found it's way into Ravengro."</b> Benjan is quiet for awhile, letting Catherine talk, nodding to townsfolk heading south.</p>
<p>As you exit the covered bridge which leads into the town square, Benjan stops. <b>"I asked one of your party to come along to bear witness for your defense against Gibs. I'll ask that you do as little talking as possible, except when asked. He's likely drunk, and looking for a fight, and we don't need to give it to him."</b></p>
<p>Benjan starts again, moving his blunderbuss to a more accessible position on his hip. As he repositions the gun, you notice that it hasn't been fired in a long time. You quickly find yourselves in the town square, which Benjan leads you around counter-clockwise. He points out Jominda's shop. <span class=messageboard-ooc><i>Letter H on the map.</i></span></p>
<p>Passing by the apothecary that Jominda runs, you see that he slows down, and seems to be trying to see into the windows—he's giving the place more than his undivided attention.</p>
<p>He leads you down the roadway between H and I, stopping at a building sitting along the river. <i><span class=messageboard-ooc>Building C on the map.</span></i> Handing above the door is a wooden sign, with an outline of a demon. <b>"The Laughing Demon,"</b> Benjan says as he hides his weapon inside his coat.</p>

<br />
The party leaves Vitaliy to his reading, and head outside. The day has warmed up considerably since you first arrived at the Lorrimor home.</p>
<p>Making your way down the pathway to the road, the five girls scatter, running north to the town square. Out at the road, a yellow dog stands up, and slowly follows the children.</p>
<p>Turning south, with a little more time to take in the details of the town, you come across a thick wooden pole in the ground <span class=messageboard-ooc>(area B on map)</span>. There are numerous papers tacked to the pole, all written in the same script (common).</p>
<p>At the bridge, the elf who was playing the violin is gone, although her blanket was left behind, blown against some bushes, threatening to be deposited into the water below (Ravengro Creek).</p>
<p>On the far side of the river, outside of the temple, you see another pole set into the ground, with what looks to be identical postings to the one at the south end of town.</p>
<p>Standing outside the temple is a large man in a black leather hat, and a black leather trench coat. His arms are crossed, and his back is to you. You can see a metal tube, with a wooden handle at one end strapped into a bandolier.

<p>As you approach the temple, you can hear Father Grimburrow shouting. <b>"Him and his croons just waiting in ambush! I seen 'em lurking about. Thought maybe they had some decency in 'em—honoring the dead. Then those visitors...oh! Here they are now..."</b> Grimburrow stretches out an arm, an arthritic finger extended in your general direction.</p>
<p><b>"They can tell you what happened Sheriff."</b></p>

<p><span class=messageboard-bigger><b>At The Lorrimor Estate</b></span>
<br />
After everyone had left, Vitaliy heard the upstairs door open. Kendra came back to the sitting room, where she watched the dhampir for a few minutes. <b>"I apologize for earlier. My attitude, my reaction to your appearance. Very unladylike of me."</b> She moves closer to Vitaliy, and pulls his hood down.</p>
<p><b>"I can see why father was so...drawn to you. He spent most of his life hunting the undead. And you...not quite undead, and not wholly alive. What a thrill it must have been for him to have met you."</b> She holds out a slim book to Vitaliy.</p>
<p><b>"It's not much, but I hope it helps in whatever you're hoping to find in these old books."</b> She pats his arm, and then returns to her room upstairs.</p>

<p>Leading the short, pudgy man into the drawing room, Kendra reclaims her seat. Vashian looks around the room, before seating himself at a small desk. <b>"It's good to see that the wishes of a dead man were fulfilled,"</b> Vashian wheezes out, his face beet-red. Taking a glass of the iced tea, he continues on between gulps, reading from a crisp piece of paper he's fished out of an inner pocket. <b>"We are here, on 7th Sarenith, to read the will of one Petros Lorrimor, in the presence of his daughter,"</b> indicating Kendra. <b>"The late Petros has also requested that six other individuals be present, though there is no indication as to why."</b></p>
<p>He harumphs, then re-reads the document to himself, his lips moving with each word. Clearing his throat, and replacing the paper, he then pulls a scroll case from a small bag he has brought with him. He presents the scroll case to everyone in the room, pointing out that the professor's wax seal has been unbroken. Vashian cracks the seal, and unfurls the scroll, sending a small key that was contained inside clattering across the desk and onto the floor. Ignoring the key, he reads the will.</p>
<p>——</p>
<p>“I, Petros Lorrimor, being of sound mind, do hereby commit to this parchment 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 entirely to my daughter Kendra. Use them or sell them as you see fit, my child.</p>
<p>“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 mere inheritance to apportion. I have two final favors to ask.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“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 Lepidstadt 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 darker side of my profession, or worse still, the danger of possessing these 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 Lepidstadt, who will put them to good use for the betterment of the cause.</p>
<p>“Yet before you leave for Lepidstadt, 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 platinum coins. For safekeeping, I have left these funds with Embreth Daramid, one of my most trusted friends in Lepidstadt—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.</p>
<p>“I, Petros Lorrimor, hereby sign this will in Ravengro on this first day of Gozran, in the year 4711.”</p>
<p>——</p>
<p>With the reading of the will concluded, Vashian looks to Kendra. The woman is shocked, his lower lip quivering. She pulls herself together, thanks Vashian, and walks him to the door. A few moments later, she returns to the drawing room.</p>Kendra finishes her tea, and has placed the glass on a nearby cozy, when there is a series of three sharp raps at the door.

<p>When you first cross into the town proper of Ravengro, you are immediately impressed by the smell of the town—a combination of the odor from the swamp as well as greasy cooking fires, bitter ale, and the tanning businesses that ostensibly support this town. Curiously, though, the town is quiet. The only noises that mar the buzzing of the swamp are the joyous sounds that spill out from behind the closed doors of the temple of Pharasma, and the sounds of tradesmen at work. Strangers pass with appraising glances or hardened stares. Neither do anything to set the traveler at ease. While Canterwall children are never what one would call ever-present, in Ravengro they are akin to ghosts; seldom glimpsed except in fleeting moments when their parents require their presence in town on some errand.</p>
<p>While the ramshackle buildings across the river at the center of town seem to blend into the swamp itself, on this side of the river, you see a few nicer houses, surrounded by farmland, which appear to be set apart from the town. Nearing the bridge, on the far bank of the river, you see a 25 foot tall statue of a man. What it could possibly be for is anyone's guess. Beyond the statue, to the south, atop a hill, you can see a large building made of black stone. In the mid-morning sun, it appears to absorb the light, and cast a shadow over the area.</p>
<p>Crossing the river, you see an elven violinist sitting cross-legged on a blanket. With a small ceramic bowl placed at the edge of the road, she teases a song out of the instrument as you approach. Dressed in dark gray leggings, and a low-cut top, her brilliant red hair is in sharp contrast to her drab clothing.</p>
<p>Kendra leads you a short distance from the bridge to her home. The home previously owned by Petros Lorrimor. Stepping inside, the curtains are drawn, keeping the light out, giving the house the feeling of being in a museum. The walls of nearly every room are lined with shelves, books crammed into every available spot. Moving into the lower drawing room, Kendra slumps into a chair.</p>
<p><b>"I'm sure you all have many questions. Please allow me a few moments of comfort before you ask them."</b> She smiles at the nearest party member, and asks, <b>"Could you bring me some iced tea from the kitchen?"</b></p>
