Elyshaeba remains outside the hut with the horses and those who have not gone inside.

"I'm Garam, this is Lazalla..."
The woman gives you a shy wave of her hand, as if to introduce herself.
"...I don't know... We woke up from trying Hannon's latest batch of black lotus... and everyone was just dead... they were torn apart as if some vicious beast had gone through a rampage here... I don't understand how Lazalla and I slept through all this... well, I have an idea how we managed to sleep through all this..."
With this, Lazalla elbows him in the ribs and glares at him, as if to stop him to continue on that line of thought...
"Ow! Yeah... right... anyways, that's all I know."

Uhm, I never like it when a couple of villagers say "oh it must have happened while we slept" when found in a village full of dead folk. They either turn out to be the predators (shape shifters, demons, whatever) or unwitting carriers of something nasty. Sigh...Jun 13, 2023 11:21 pm
"Oh, yeah, here..."
He pulls some black flower petals from his pockets.
"Want some? It's pretty potent stuff, really expends your mind. Yeah, sure, the whole village partook in it!"

"Can you tell us where this Hannon stayed in the village? Is there anything we might look for to identify the body?"
OOC:
Yeah...I'm not touching the lotus stuff. Ha!Jun 14, 2023 10:36 pm
Garam points in a direction further inside the village.
"Yeah, you can't miss it. Hannon's house has this big annex where he stores all of his stuff, and this big garden out back where he grows and creates new breeds of lotus."
Then noticing none of you seems to want any of the black lotus, Garam smiles.
"Hey, more for the both of us!"
At this, Garam and Lazalla starts sharing and chewing on the dark leaves as you make your way towards Hannon's house.

Palari follows the others to Hannon's house, keeping alert to any more survivors as they walk, filling in Elyshaeba on what they found from Garam as they go.
"I wonder how it was that they survived when others, who also took Hannon's lotus, died?" she comments to the others. "I am sure they were not the only ones locked inside their home when the attack happened. We should tread carefully, and treat any surviving villagers as suspects until we can prove what did this slaughter."
She casts a look back to the hut they left, "Especially the lovebirds Garam and Lazalla."

"Being under the influence of the lotus could explain things, but it's flimsy. If they are possessed...or the lotus caused them..."
"Well, there's a lot that could be going on here. We still have those mysterious figures in the ruins to consider. Could have heen them."
Gilcyne's mind buzzes with possibilities, and lack of information making holes for other possibilities as she walks to find where this may have all started.

You eventually find the house that correspond to Hannon's place just as the sun dips below the horizon.

Gilcyne approaches slowly and as stealthy as she can, axe ready to fight if there is any trouble, ears and eyes searching for any sounds of life.
Jun 22, 2023 7:26 pm
Glump joins in with weapon in hand and beginning looking as they go for possible sources of light, with the twilight approaching.

i have flint and steel for making fire...but no torches. Guess we should look around. Jun 22, 2023 10:53 pm
OOC:
Palari has a lanthern with lamp oil. She will give that to someone to use, so she can keep her hands free for fighting
Jun 23, 2023 8:25 am
Valmara holds her bow at the ready, as she sojourns through the village with the others.
Jun 23, 2023 8:42 am
Elyshaeba accepts the lantern from Palari and moves to the middle of the group, lighting it to provide some illumination.
Jun 24, 2023 3:57 pm
You find Hannon's place, just as the rest of the village it. The place doesn't seem to have been spared, and inside you find a body that you can only deduce is Hannon, torn to pieces as if by the jaws or claws of some wild beast. The funny thing is that it seem to have happened while he was sleeping peacefully in his bed, no signs of him ever having defended himself seem apparent...
You also find 10 large sacks full of dried black lotus leaves, as if they were ready to being shipped out somewhere, and a small pouch containing 12 gold pieces.

"I have to say, I am absolutely lost about what happened here. It doesn'tmake any sense. What happened here?" She passes the gold out. 2 pieces per party member, leaving the last two on the eyes of the corpse. "Might take a couple bundles and try to sell them in town if it turns out to not turn you into a demon or something."
