Oddly enough, it is not the serving girl that took your order who brings it to you, but the owner of the tavern - Eamon.<br/><br/>The man is in his early forties, and seems to be in fairly good shape for his age - or at least he would be, were it not for his haggard appearance. Dark bags under his eyes, messy hair, unshaven face - he doesn't seem to have slept for at least a few days.<br/><br/>After he sets your plates and mugs in front of you, Eamon takes a seat on the other side of the table, sighing and looking at each of you intently.<br/><br/>"So..." He begins. "Someone has finally come to help us out. Well, I'll tell you what I know, then you can question patrons - preferably as they leave. I'll keep the staff here after the kitchen closes, if you want to question them as well."<br/><br/>Looking around the bar, Eamon runs his fingers through his hair, before leaning forward and speaking to you quietly. "It started last month. I sent one of our cooks down to fetch a few bottles from the cellar, and before long she ran back up screaming herself hoarse. Scared the hells out of everyone, and she wouldn't stop to tell anyone what happened. She just insisted on running to the church and taking refuge inside."<br/><br/>"Naturally, I took a few others with me to check out the cellar for whatever scared the girl so, but there was nothing down there but the stock. And when we went to talk to her at the church, she wouldn't say anything. She just stared off into the air with these big scared eyes, shaking."<br/><br/>"After the first time, we were on guard for another incident, so we could react faster and maybe stop whoever was behind it all, but every time we run to see what happened there isn't anything to be found."<br/><br/>"I've lost six girls so far. And what's worse, the first one left the church, about three days ago. We haven't seen her since."
