Daeron's Adventure (traveling thread)

[Flex]

"Bah!" Daeron said, kicking the door and returning to his horse. "We set up camp a league from this shithole." He said before riding off.

The next day the group ride on and into the mountains of Silverhill, looking for another village.

[The Stranger]

There is a small village perhaps a league from the keep itself. It being the middle of the day, there are mostly women and children about. Daeron comes upon three women filling buckets of water from the well.

[Flex]

"Excuse me." He says, getting off his horse. "You pretty young ladies look like you know one or two things about this area."

[The Stranger]

The women immediately drop to their knees, heads down

"Milord, forgive us, We didn't see you approach." says the one, her face in the dirt.

[Flex]

"Get up, get up." Daeron said in a friendly voice. "I know mud is good against wrinkles though I doubt you need to worry about those for a while. I have a question concerning the Golem."

[The Stranger]

The women raise their heads, "The... Golem milord? You believe its real?"

[Flex]

"I believe there have been many tales of this monster coming out of the mountains and taking away young girls." Daeron replied, putting one hand on the pommel of his sword. "Have you heard any stories of him near here?"

[The Stranger]

"Yes milord, but we told his lordship at Silverhill, and they sent out riders, but no one ever found anything.... my sister Nym was taken... three weeks ago. Poor girl," tears began to well up in the girl's eyes.

[Flex]

Daeron moved forward and put a hand on the girls shoulder. "There, there..." He pulled out a handkerchief, red with a black dragon on it, and handed it to the girl. "Do you know where your sister was when... he came?"

[The Stranger]

"It was night, we were all sleeping, but some times she liked to go down to the well, to look at the stars. She was ... she'd have been right here... but we didn't hear anything... no screaming or anything... she was just... gone."

[Flex]

"Hmmmm." Daeron says, looking around. "Was this the last time the Golem took anyone from here? Has he taken anyone else from your village?"

[The Stranger]

"it was the most recent, but not the only time... Symona was taken a few months ago, but everyone just said she ran off with that Tucker boy."

[Flex]

Daeron nods. "You can keep the handkerchief if you like. I only have one final question... has anyone here seen him?"

[The Stranger]

"Seen who Tucker?" The girl asks.
