Anne waits patiently for everyone to head to Lucindas house so they can talk about everything without being distracted by all of these interruptions. She leans up against a tree and sighs.

OOC:
I'm waiting for @Bosko_b who did not post for while with Ado. I do not want him to feel like he is left out of the game.

Nog begins examining Sam. I'm a half Orc he thinks to himself, he doesn't correct her though as not many take kind to Orcs, half or not and he doesn't want to frighten the child.
OOC:
Fyi, Nog is a Half Orc lol. Wasnt sure if that was on purpose or not, so im not going to correct her.
OOC:
Poor child, it just wasnt meant to be :(

@KirinOfDarkness You think it may be a curse, but it is way over your power.

Nog's action makes Albo think more highly of Half-Orcs. He nods at him in appreciation.

Anne then asks "Shall we head to your house then, Mayor Lucinda so we can discuss how we can help you and your village out from the attack over dinner? If so, please lead the way."

She'll then allow Lucinda to start walking first before she follows her.

Wyce is still suspicious.
We moved logs for no benefit.
Albo gave us food but Lucinda says "Let's go eat."
The cleric offered to help the boy but found nothing to do.
Wyce is anxious to get an explanation but he doubts it will come from Lucinda.

The boy is very happy and thanks all the people in the group
OOC:
I'm not waiting for Aldo, it has been too long

The group arrives to Lucinda house. DiscoveryThis simple one-room cottage is a bit larger than the others in Newville, though its door lies in a nearby snowbank. Wisps of white snow blow across the threshold and into the house itself. Inside, a large empty spot below a hole in the ceiling is where a cooking stove undoubtedly once stood. The timbers of a bed frame lie in the opposite corner. All the furniture in the room appears to have been disassembled down to its base parts. Even the nails that once held up the family portraits are gone.

You do have some questions don't you ?

"Yes. 1. What do you need us to do in order for us to help protect you and the village from these Crueltide elves and their master who has caused such destruction to your town and your people? and 2. Do you know where their lair is so we can go face them ourselves or are you going to give us people that can fight to take them down? We are sorry this happened to all of you and ruined your festival but being invited by Albo and lack of communication and information is very bad form, ma'am. We would love to help you out... We just need to know how. " Anne said a moment later looking at the woman with frustration on her face.

Skeptical, Wyce inspects the supposed furniture pieces and, well, they do look like nails and hardware were removed.
He looks closely where a stove might have been. Hmm. Ash and soot.
So Wyce is becoming convinced the crisis is real.
A stove would have been heavy.
Are there signs of anything drug away?
I ask Lucinda, Is there a forge nearby where someone might want your metal?

OOC:
As before, do not wait for me to move things along. If I'm not posting just assume that Albo follows the group waiting to see what is going to happen next.
Albo lets Lucinda take the lead and explain the whole situation to the company.

Gimdrus lets Lucinda take the lead and explain the whole situation to the company.

Lucinda answers giving some food to everyone.

First, I am sorry to be such a poor hostess, I cannot lit fire after the attack so it will be a cold meal. I have some cold pork, some cheese, and some bread.

For your first question Anne, I am not sure, we need some help to protect the village from another attack and if you could stop them, it would be great but I do not know if you are strong enough for that, I do not want to put you in danger for us.

As for the second question here is what happened and all I know, it will be the answer to your question too Wyce.

Last night, a strange, demonic goblinoid creature came storming down from Mount Strumpet, just a little way west from here, wearing a red suit and leading a small army of strange goblins clad in pointed shoes and wearing bell-topped hat. The News of Newville never heard them arrive or saw them coming down the hill as the villagers were too busy gathering in the town circle to sing around the Festival Tree. Orcus' Claws announced his presence just before departing, and it was then that the News were torn from their reverie and realized that the strange creatures that served him, he called Crueltide elves, had stolen every piece of iron they could get their hands on. They had pried nails from walls, peeled hinges off doors, taken plates from wagon axles, removed shoes from horses, eveything !

Now, we are completely defenseless, and he may return to finish us all. And even if he doesn't, we don't know how will survive the winter.


She turns her head to avoid the party to see her cry, but her sobs are great and she takes some times to recover.

Speaking quietly to our group while Lucinda sobs,
This woman is too emotional to provide any useful details. We can either search the forest or wait here in the village. Either way those elves will likely come for the steel of our weapons and armor.
Jan 8, 2023 5:54 pm
I say we go to the forest; take the fight away from the village.
Jan 8, 2023 6:02 pm
"I agree with Wyce. We'll take the fight to the forest. " Anne says a moment later.

Hearing a bunch of hero ready to help them Lucinda dry her tears.

You will help us ? Although we do not have much to offer ?

If you go find them, it is not in the forest you will find them, but in Mount Strumpet a little to the west. I would advise you to start in the morning, it mau be a little late to arrive there before dark. It is about 20 miles from here, but you don't go very fast in the forest. ANd I'm sure the villager will be glad to know some heroes are going to fight for them, notwithstanding they may be happy to know there will be protection for the night.

You can stay here to sleep tonight if you want. But if you rather go now, I'll understand.
Jan 8, 2023 8:23 pm
I have no problems with the dark Nog says confidently so we can leave now if the group wants.
