1. Winter Festival of Newville

"That's very kind of you Ms Lucinda. We'll go with you. Just as long as you promise to actually talk to us and answer our questions because mine have been ignored so far since entering this village. You told us we would talk at the tree but I guess we'll go to your house then." Anne said after she stretched her arms out.

So Albo's food was just an appetizer.
I agree with Anne's sentiment about the lack of information, but I try to be a little more tactful.
Thanks ma'am. We are anxious to hear details about the attack.

Nog follows the mayor to her home

Anne nods and follows the mayor to her house with the rest of the party hoping to finally get information from her about everything.

An as the group is about to follow the mayor a small halfling boy on tiny crutches, approaches holding out one hand covered in a frayed glove.

Could you spare one or two copper, please ?

He then begins to cough pathetically.

Anne looks through her pack before shaking her head sadly.

"Sorry. I don't have any copper." She says with pity.

I look at the boy and then at Lucinda.
Something is not right about an urchin approaching the mayor's guests.
I begin to suspect things are not as they appear.

Gimdrus catches Wyce's sight and isn't afraid to speak up directly:
Lucinda, Albo, would anyone please introduce us to the poor boy here. In such a small settlement I believe everyone know each other right? Unless this is an some evil creature that cast disguise self magic. Have you ever faced that wizard trickery ?

"Nice to meet you small Sam. I don't have much money on me so I try to save what I have." She says to him a moment later with a smile.

Hey Small Sam, I have something better than copper for you! Gimdrus hands him a ration from his backpack. Good luck!

Here, you can have this. Knowing what its like to not have anything, Nog hands the boy a Gold Piece.

"Here Sam, you can have this." Anne says a moment later and hands him a piece of pork jerky from out of her rations.

Hey Nog says a bit hesitantly to Lucinda I just remembered reading about a spell that could cure illness. Id have to prepare a bit to do it, but could i examine Sam to see if it would even work?
