"Who are you and why in Raynor's name are you following us?" Albert states with his broomstick aimed at the fallen soldier's belly.

At the mention of Raynor the man ...more like 'boy' you are starting to suspect... scrabbles to his feet, and then, as though remembering his plan, immediately goes down on one knee before you.
"So it's true?" He exclaims excitedly. "We had heard you are a priest of Raynor. The 'god of conquest'." At this last word he thumps his armoured chest with his fist, and you can hear that there is a lot of empty space inside there.
"I, Daryl, dedicate my sword to your service." He declares, trying to draw said sword --apparently completely unaware of any threat that might imply-- but finds that it is tangled and pinned beneath him, tries to free it, starts to rise, decides kneeing is more important and settles for removing his helmet and bowing his head in supplication.
He looks like a big, rangy farmboy, wearing armour that was not made for him.

Roald, being vigilant as soon as they step out, almost attacked the armoured enemy if it weren't for Albert's lightning reflexes.
Wohw, where did that speed come from?
He watches the whole show with disbelief.
'' You haven't answered him boy, who are you, where do you come from and why are you following us! ''
Roald emphasizes the word 'boy' although he himself is not much older than the kneeling guy, judging by the looks of him.

Assuming that you are also a priest of Rayor, Daryl awkwardly rotates so he is now kneeing before you.
"I... er... I said --didn't I? ... I am Daryl." He stammers, demonstrating the common small-town mentality that 'everybody knows Daryl'. "And I want ... to ... follow you? ..." He finds that he is repeating your words, and tries to rally himself.
"I, Daryl? ... dedicate my sword to your service?" He says again, but with strange questioning intonation, like he is not sure what he did wrong and this is not going at all like he rehearsed.
One of the old codgers watching this spectacle through the inn's windows calls out: "Does your father know you are wearing his father's old armour, Daryl?" before he is shushed as one speaking in a theatre. You have quite an audience waiting to see what happens next.

Albert takes a moment to think things over. With Asha and Bimi out of commission for now, it might be handy to have someone else around who at least looks menacing. You never know when that might come in handy. And he seems to be dedicated to Raynor. Maybe I should test his resolve.
"Listen, Daryl. We're not a training school for bored children. Why don't you head on back home. Your mother is probably worried about you. Find us again when you know Raynor's 3 virtues of battle." He says with a stern face. It's not difficult, cause he's tired and has had enough of 'today'. He just wants to get to the inn and sleep.

Daryl shuffles round again so he is kneeling before Albert. His innocent face lights up with the acceptance, but, more importantly, with a issuance of a QUEST!
"Yes! Sir!" He bellows, clapping his fist to his hollow chest again, then he runs off home... which is awkward, since he is also trying to stay as close to kneeling while in your presence.

Continued from The Contact.
The village is abuzz when you get back. An unseen gate-guard challenges you, but quickly lets you in after someone inside shouts that you are the 'adventurers the mayor is asking for'.
From inside the gate you can see the healer's front door. There appears to be a lot of people standing around there. The word that comes to mind is 'queue' rather than 'mob', and many are carrying parcels or items in their hands. You see one man leave the dwelling, look sheepishly at the rest and walk away, then another is allowed in by the healer, who is looking a bit harassed by all the activity.
The mayor is apparently waiting for you, and you can be sure one of the people near the gate will have told him of your return. But something big is going on at the healer --where your two companions were last-- though there does not appear to be any 'danger' there.
Where do you go first?

Before entering the village Norbert kneeled next to the dog, whispered into its ear for about a minute, pulled his hood over his head and followed the two men into town.
The dog ran of into the wood and the 'disguise' won't hold ub for someone looking for him, but it appears the village has others things on its mind.
Norbert follows the men wherever they go

As the three of you approach the healer's door there is a bit of muttering which quickly turns into excited whispering as you are recognised as 'the adventurers' (plus one). Just before you get to the door it opens quickly and a lady almost bumps into whoever is leading your party. She glares at you --but looked a bit less than happy already-- before storming off.
You can see the healer ushering the man you saw upon arriving into the back room. There is no sign of Asha or the captain. The healer looks annoyed, but also relieved when she spies you at the open door. "If you could wait your turn outside, please." She says to Norbert, not thinking him part of the party, and clearly having said these words many times recently.
What do you all do?

Roald clears his throat:
"Ahumhum... Could you spare us a moment of your time? We are on a mission and only need to ask you a few questions"
Roald uses an over-the-top voice that puts some extra weight to his words. He appologizes to the people at the door.
"I hope you don't mind us cutting in line, we don't require any healing so we will only be in a short time"

Now that you have engaged with the people outside the door, they have questions: The obvious: "What happened with the barons?", "Did you find her.", but also some that don't make any sense, like: "Is it enough?", and "That's all we have."
They seems more than happy for you to cut in line and see your friends.
Closer up, you can see that at least one man is carrying a nice dress, and one a pair of ladies' shoes, one a mirror, though most are smaller packages that are harder to identify.

Albert is a bit unsure about the situation and doesn't really engage with the crowd. "Let's go in and see how Asha is doing." He says to Roald and lets Norbert enter the healer's house in front of him.
Jan 30, 2023 10:15 am
"I wil be right with you." Nobert says to the two men and also to the guy at the door (hoping he will be let in later).
He turns to the people who are waiting in line and starts chatting to random people. "That is a beautifull dress ... it was rough at the baron ... We did not find her, but we won't give up..." Hoping to find out more and where the villagers got their info.

Smart guy Roald thinks to himself.
He steps into the healer's house and looks around for Asha or the captain.
What happened here?

The healer drops her voice and answers Roald.
"Ever since Asha went out for a careful walk yesterday people have been eager to come and visit her. Apparently she made quite the impression. Most have brought gifts." You can not easily tell if there is more something more in her voice than annoyance at the stream of visitors --and her role as 'receptionist'. She definitely does not seem to hold Ahsa in such high regard anymore.
"The Captain could not take it, and went out this morning. She has not returned, and needs to be gentle with that leg." The healer notes.

"Huh? What kind of impression are we talking about here? Can we see her?" Albert asks.
Jan 30, 2023 8:34 pm
"You saw them lining up to get to see her." The healer says to Albert. "What kind of impression do you think! And, yes, yes, go in. She has been asking about you."
Jan 30, 2023 9:06 pm
Albert enters Ahsa's room. "Asha? How are you feeling?" He's happy to see her again. Even though they really haven't known each other for that long, Albert has always felt genuine friendship there.
Jan 30, 2023 9:24 pm
Ahsa is reclining on the bed --propped up by pillows that are fancier than everything else in the healer's hut. She is wearing a very good looking dress that you have not seen before.
She looks tired, but perks up when she sees you rather than another visitor.
"This is a very nice town." The observes. "The people are so friendly." She looks around to make sure you are not overheard and adds. "I don't know all the details, but I let them know that you are here to help them with their 'problems'. They say that mayor is skinflint, so they did a little collection to help." She indicates two small pouches on the table beside the bed, one for Albert and one for Roald. There can't be many coins in them.
