"Aye, I'll work for that as well. Though I hope ya don't mind my wonderin', why pay such a hefty sum when ya have guards a plenty here already? Unless ya don't expect us to come back alive, that is." Terflynn says, in a rare moment of clarity.

Rustin shrugs.

Lets just say I do not want you to reconsider my offer..Anyway excellent!! Do meet the Captain tonight at 11pm shall we?

I am assuming now is about 6pm in the evening...time flies!! Thak Embrianna, Jade are about 5 hours travel away by foot back to the town, pushing it forward to 11pm so Angrim, Grollus and Terflynn you can post what preparations you want to make eg: items from the Hedgehog or talk to anyone else further once ready do meet the Captain outside the orphanage and it will be 11pm, about the time the Thak, Embrianna and Jade reached the outskirts of the town.

Timmy, you might wanna speed up the dream world play if you want to awake from your dream.

Rustin looks at both Grollus and Terflynn and his countenance darkens.

I warn you. Do not ever lie to a wizard. It may be the last words you speak coherently.

After the threat, he visibly relaxes and smiles.

Of course, I understand you have you own reasons not to tell me the truth. Anyway the purpose of me asking 3 armed guards like yourself here is employment.

The man who passed you the note is someone we believed to be connected to the 4 murders in our town. We believe he is currently hiding in the orphanage and he possess dark magic powers. We do not understand why would he be interested in an orphanage but apparently he believes there is a conspiracy in that place.

Rustin pauses and considers before whispering in a ear shot volume.

The children of the 4 murdered families are currently in the orphanage. Captain Borbosa here has sent 2 guards inside and found nothing, it is a perfectly normal school. However, they mysteriously disappeared the next morning. Never reported for duty...just disappeared. We have interrogated the orphanage nun, Sister Claudin. She seems innocent and even my magic suggest she knows nothing too...

Rustin sighs.

Would 10,000 gold be sufficient to engage your services? Infiltrate the orphanage during the twilight hours and seek the man. We call him the Ghost for easy reference. Seek him and bring him in. Captain and his guards will accompany you for this mission. I believe once we get the Ghost, the mystery of the 4 deaths and disappearance of the 2 guards will be unveiled.

I see...what about you?

Rustin points towards Grollus.

Roll a bluff check Terflynn and Grollus

She is with Grimma Not to worry then, she is a skilled hunter and should be able to take care of your friends.

Rustin smiles

I am Rustin Lenin mayor and founder of Green Hollow. My purpose here today is to ask if you know a certain man that sat at the tavern last night? Barnabas told me that he passed you a certain note. May I enquire the contents of it?

It's ok Captain!!! Let them pass.

A certain man walks out. He is frail and wears glasses with a head full of white hair. You can sense great magic within this frail old man.

The guards parted and let him pass through.

Pardon our manners, it's just that recently we have a series of murders in this town You cannot blame us to be careful. Come inside, I have prepared us some tea.

The mayor turned and entered into the house.
