As I remember the idea was to guard the caravan until we reach this town, so the job should be over after we get to someplace in town.
While we move thru the streets of the town I want to be on the lookout to see if I can spot a magical shop or shops where I could buy some reagents.
I'm worried about those creatures we fought, let's talk to the mayor and share what we have seen and see if he's able to add something to it.
Telurion, Jared turns to you and says: I’ll go with you to the temple, then to Arwill Estate… the wood was commissioned by Wate Arwyll...
The clerk named Bill, looks at you and the villagers nervously. Sirs, can I get you to the temple? Please follow me.
We go with Bill then, to the temple and then to deliver the wood with Jared.
"Yes by all means, let us go friend" - Telurion nods at Bill, then at Jared - "I see... Then yes please, come with us to the Temple - we will then escort you to the Arwyll Estate"
Hasdir follows the group, looking around trying to get a feel for the town
The guard leads you to the temple of Kiri-Jolith. On your way there you can sense the turmoil that is growing throughout the town of Arwyll Stead. When you arrive to the temple, you notice that it was formerly a temple of Paladine, and like many others after the God’s sacrifice of removing himself from the world, it was taken care by Kiri-Jolith church. Now the temple seems like it belongs to both gods, which is not strange since Paladine is still revered by all solamnics as much as they revere their patron (and son of Paladine) Kiri-Jolith. You are welcomed by an old man that the guard presents to you as High-Priest Ovir Radan, and a young priest called Peter Hillwind.
Be welcome friends. I heard you brought us our beloved Wate… unfortunately dead.I assume Mayor Proum will want to speak to you but while Peter takes care of your wounds pray tell me what has happened. Was it those damned Ogres?
"Well met Father. I am Telurion" - the paladin introduces himself, taking to one knee - "Ogres? I believe not" - he adds, standing up again - "We were attacked by devilish creatures - Gaavs I believe they are named, as well as their summoned imps" - the half-elf explains.
"Vegasi can better recount it all, but I believe these were the ones who attacked Arwyll, and no ogres..?" - he turns to Vegasi so she can confirm the details.
Yes it is right Telurion words says Vegasi, with a somewhat shy demeanor now that the attention was brought to her. Hell’s Fury tribe no use goblins no more, has devils… ehm… friends. I got in no time to save human warchief

Ovir turns to Vegasi and says: Not a change to my likings… He waves a hand to no one in particular. Now that you’re healed you should go to your meeting with mayor Proum. Dire times have fallen upon us… we all should prepare ourselves for what’s coming. It was a pleasure to meet you all, Bill will take you to Arwyll Estate.
It was a pleasure to meet you.
"Thank you for your hospitality, and making the healing available to us" - Telurion bows - "Until next time"
Let's get on with it then! - Hasdir says has he checks his newly closed wounds
When you arrive at Arwyll Estate, Mayor Proum answers the door and ushers you past the foyer and into a humbly decorated parlor room. The adjacent dining room has been outfitted as an impromptu morgue, and you got a glimpse of the bodies of Wate and his comrades laid across the sagging wooden table and covered in white linens. Along with Mayor Proum are two militia members, an elderly woman with wrinkled skin and a head full of curly gray hair, and a tall man in his late forties. Proum introduces them: Here is Shovann Orda - he says nodding to the women - and here is Gallus Crevac - he says turning to the man - They were friends of the late Wate Arwyll, and together with me, the four of us served as an informal governing council for Arwyll Stead.
Both of them give you a little nod when they are introduced and mayor Proum continues: Now that we can speak freely, do tell us exactly what happened that led to Wate’s demise. We need to understand what in hell is happening.
"Well met again Mayor Proum, and to both of you sir and madam. I am Telurion" - the half-elf introduces himself to the two ones he hadn't met before - "Like explained before, we do not know much - when we arrived on the scene, we encountered Vegasi already engaged with the attackers - Gaav devils and their summoned imps" - the paladin recounts - "As Vegasi explained, these were probably the authors of the attack on Wate Arwyll and his companions..."
Indeed, this is the extent of our knowledge about the attack, as we just arrived with the caravan, where we served as an escort.
I am Kyrill Greenbriar, and though I wish the circumstances weren't so dire, I am honored to meet you sirs, madam.
This Hell's Fury tribe... it seems there have been previous run-ins with them? How far back? Their tactics seem to have changed, but... did anything else happen?
