3. Dawn of a grim day

The night was calm, and nothing came disturbing. Also a though occurred to you: you entered like burglars, if people see you exit won't they call to arrest you?

The adventurers exit the mill as normally as possible, and go for the orchard. On the road most inhabitants left their house and are talking in a frightened small voices.

Martha will keep her ears open to see what has sent everyone into such a strange mood. Has another person been found dead?

Noticing the vibe of the town, Gray will actively listen as they leave the Mill.

Martha sputters, grabbing the nearest man's shoulder and demanding an explanation.

Before the man can even start talking, Gray ask even more questions; "What was this catastrophe everyone is gossiping about? How long ago was it? Is that why the millers are gone? If not, where are they? Come an man, we need answers!"

People seems to finally acknowledge your presence and some with great surprise begin a large sad smile. The man whose shoulder is grabbed by Martha answers in a sad voice.

Well, it seems all are not dead, you are from the circus aren't you? During the night the circus was brutally attacked, there is no survivor. I'm sorry. Tis town is becoming too dangerous, a number of us will leave it as soon as we can.

"I don't know where you heard that information, but that can't be correct," Martha says loudly. The whole camp? It can't be possible. People would have run away and hid, or called for help from the nearby village. It makes no sense that they'd all be slaughtered. "Forget the orchard, we need to get straight back to the campground. "

Gray is just able to ask "Attacked how?" before he sits down.

Hix sets down the locked box he's carrying next to Gray and sits as well. "Are you sure they are all dead? Could people have been taken instead?"

What we learn is that a lot of bodies have been found and no one is alive.
