Clinging to the shadows, you make your way towards the direction of the voices... and what you find vindicates all of Sharille's fears.<br/><br/>Immediately, you can see that a full on assault of this room is inadvisable, at best... several of the sewn-lip goblins are present, as well as a taller goblin priestess whose lips are sewn with copper thread instead of leather, and whose eyes are clouded with the darkness of time. They're all gathered around a workman's table... and they are joined by the two guardsmen who had come to your "aid" the night before.<br/><br/>Perhaps most worrying of all, is that the guardsmen are carrying three dirt-caked rib bones... and since they had been left alone in the graveyard after you left, you get a sneaking suspicion that those rib bones might have come from a certain list of graves...<br/><br/>"Your time is running short, G'Riccth." The first guard says, sliding the bones towards the priestess. "An adventurer arrived in town today, and killed several of your warriors as they tried to get these bones. The halfling may be helping him, as well. So if the Bloodlord wants this thing built, we..."<br/><br/>"Will not worry you." Another voice, and a larger, heavyset man strides into the light- presumably from a hallway on the other side of the room. Just by looking at him, you can see that he's of noble birth... even in the dim light, you can see the broken-crown insignia sewn on his breast. "The good captain is such a noble paladin of Erastil... and I have heard such nasty rumors of bandits lately. I doubt she would stand by and let them run rampant. The people will be so sad to hear how she died protecting them..."<br/><br/>The guards fall silent, and nod their acquiescence. And across from them, the goblin priestess collects the bones, handing them to one of her guards to protect.<br/><br/>"Now, if we are quite done here... I have a town to run, and these men have posts to get back to." The big man turns and strides off into the shadows, motioning for his guards to follow. "Complete the Blood Lord's herald, goblin. He will need the protection to begin his ascent."<br/><br/>The three men leave, and the priestess follows them with her bone-carrier in tow... but three of the goblins turn and start to walk to the hallway where you're hiding.<br/><br/>And to really make matters interesting, the talisman on your calf starts to grow warm, as the sun starts to set in the world above the caves...
