Up close the knight was as imposing as he was from a distance. A strange woman may have caused him some concern but the meekness of her character caused him to ultimately dismiss her. A northerner was unlikely to be working for any hostile parties and she clearly wasn't a threat on her own as far as he could tell. So the knight simply grinned and said, "Have care miss; a pretty girl wandering the marsh alone is likely to attract some attention. Undead will eat just about anyone but bandits are more likely to take notice of this!" and with a swift motion the knight gave Raya a sudden smack on her rear.<br/><br/>Without waiting to see her reaction the knight turned and grabbed a boy who was running through the gate, holding him still with one hand. Moments later the patrol Raya had seen earlier appeared, the first one speaking breathlessly, "Tha... thank you Sir Reginald! He's a... pickpocket we've been.. chasing... oh I need a moment..."<br/><br/>Tender Hill sat within the outskirts of Almare; the dark city walls well within sight. A winding stroll off the main road and up what must be an old trail led to the location. The ruined temple made the hill unmistakable causing Raya to have little difficulty finding it. The marsh laid on the opposite side of the hill and as Raya moved up it the smell of salt water and rotting vegetation rushed to greet her; carried on by a sudden breeze which rustled the leaves of the few trees around the hill.<br/><br/>The temple appeared to be deserted for now; no signs of others searching at the moment but foot prints told the bard that many must have come here recently. The temple doorway loomed up ahead; it's doors long gone. Alternatively a trail led around the side of the temple towards the cemetery.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Knight's Insight: 7 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=124739)</div></div>
