The women paused for a moment in response to the intrusion. A couple of them seemed to be annoyed at being interrupted but one, a lithe woman with redhair, responded almost instantly, "The Mason Quarry at the edge of the Old Wood for one; the other would be the temple on Tender Hill which overlooks the marsh. Seems that with the first was where the original item was discovered but the land is owned by Victoria Mason."<br/><br/>Another cut in abruptly, "The Mason family are blood lords of course; that is vampires. Since you're clearly not a local you should learn that much."<br/><br/>The redhead continued, "Whereas Tender Hill isn't owned by anyone so it's free pickings. Or at least it is for now; sounds like someone might try to purchase the rights to the land now that it might store an artifact that could fetch a fair price and the count's favor."<br/><br/>"Neither is a place for anyone sensible." the third woman said, her attention shifting as she eyed a couple of men entering the bar. "They say both hold ancient burial grounds that are older than the blood lords themselves and disturbing them is to invite trouble. Now please move; it's hard to get noticed when you're standing over us."
