1400 CE

The extravagant man chuckles and stands up puffing his chest he speaks "I am Lord Von Doorn Deacon, this is my house where you are always welcome." He takes a sip of wine and then returns to his seat. " Issac was it?" he says turning towards Issac and toasts in his direction "
A friend of the Deacon is a Friend of ours...perhaps you can have his drink?" he laughs to himself



Across the Room the heated discussion seems to be taking on a more somber tone as Kristophe approaches. He overhears one man who seems to be suffering under some form of stress speak in a worried tone "I am telling you we should just torch the whole damn place, it's cursed…" He moves his hands across his chest in the form of a cross

Another tall man wearing fairly simple yet well taken care of clothing leans forward. The man seems well weathered and his hands show the signs of hard labor. He listens for a moment and then speaks while clutching something in his hand. "My crew needs the money, you have any idea how much coin I spent to get that contract…" He pauses briefly before he continues " I cant find anyone who wants to go near the blasted place thou since Guus disappeared"

*reroll from STUFF*

Lord Van Doorn claps and gestures to shake the hands of both Issac and Duccio "It is a pleasure gentlemen"

Meanwhile

The rough looking man eyes Godfrey up and down and then speaks "You own a company? I have a contract to built a new sewer system for the city, we broke ground a few months back. It was a good contract high pay and all that...then the problems started.Small at first yanno? tools disappearing maps getting lost, figured it was just some new hires not being careful."

The man pauses and seems to pick up a mug and downs the whole thing before continuing. As he speaks the men around him grow silent and seem to be in a state of shock.

"Then....then it got weird. Crew started having nightmares, hearing voices, beams falling, tunnels collapsing and suddenly everyone is jumping at shadows. People stopped coming to work and eventually my crew was fairly small but still we pushed on, needed the work. Then a week ago ol Guus is down in a tunnel laying some new supports and just vanished. I mean he was there one evening when we were working late and I went to get a midnight snack and he was gone when I came back. Its a new tunnel there was no way he could have left without one of us seeing."

The man stares at Godfrey his face pale and eye swelling with fear " I don't know what to do next, we need that work but I can barley get anyone who will show up now."

The man looks at Godfrey with slight confusion "Your welcome to go down there and see if your crew has better luck finding Ol Guus we searched by their is no sign of him or anyone for that matter.

"Thats cause its cursed!" snaps another man sitting across from him "Aint none should be going down there, something evil lurks there."

"Aint no such thing as cursed you idiot, Your letting fear get the better of you!" the rather gruff man snaps back "Heres the Address, my names Ludger...I don't know whats going on down there maybe its just stress getting to our nerves or rats or something. You find Ol Guus or figure out how to get rid of whatever is causing the problems I will owe you one."

The Doorman bows as Henry enters showing his invitation "Oh father so good to see you on this fine evening."

The man Looks at Kristophe and speaks while trying to remember something "Guus's last name was Hagen I believe. He wasent from any renown family or anything, just a good man and hard worker. Youd know him if you seen him, he was tall rough looking man, big old greying beard think Guus was in his early 40's now. He was of the best men I knew so I would like to know what happened to him."
