JP between Cindy, Bandorchu, Lorem and Winteroak.
The laughter died down and the other farmhands all seemed rather grateful for some merriment, it was a reprieve from the dire situation at foot. Now that they were relaxed and jovial, Gonyaul took advantage to ask what they knew. They collectively opened up and relayed that there was weird sounds and strange people in the forest. When pressed further, that is all they had for him.
Gonyaul excused himself and rejoined the others, wondering how their interrogation was going with the Forager.
Alexis watched the forager for a moment before nodding.
“Thank you. As I said, I have a personal interest in this case. If you should remember anything that could help, I‘d appreciate it if you let me know. Greyriver. Soldier at the keep.“
She offered him her hand and he took it warily, his anxious expression turning to one of slight surprise.
Alexis nodded to her companions to signal she was done.
The forager could decide on his own wether he wanted to share the coin she just gave him or not.
Gonyaul took mental notes on how Alexis ended her discussion with the man using a handshake.
He came into the other three’s cone of vision. And shared what he learned using a less direct approach.
“farmers say weird noise and people sound in forest.”
"It will get dark soon. I would rather not be out here again too late." Jiyn said. " I could use a drink before turning in and will be going to the Hare."
Gonyaul grimaced at the thought of the Drunken Hare after the stories he heard tonight. He did agree that it would be foolish to enter the woods in these conditions, regardless of the reasons.
Islana gave a nod. And said to Jiyn, "I wouldn't mind a drink." She paused then asked the group, "Should we go speak with the loggers tomorrow?" She didn't know if anyone had any other suggestions. "Or we might be able to talk with the man who was found among the trees. He might be more - able to talk about what happened?" They wouldn't know until they saw him. "Or we could go back to the site and see if we missed anything?" She was open to suggestions. "If any of us find Wim we can fill him in but I'm not sure where to look for him." Islana had a feeling that, at least, Gonyaul would want to find Wim. She was even feeling a little bad that Wim might be in danger but she really didn't know where to look. If they found the man with more info it might be better.
The four returned to the city under the rain and decided where to turn their attention the following day.
