Since nobody seemed to need anything - it's possible Josh did want food, but didn't come right out and say so - Daria was fine with staying put and keeping the game going.  But of course she noticed the sudden clarity and change in timbre as he pronounced one word - one of the harder ones, she would have thought.  She glanced his way, a little surprise evident, but then realized that just might make him even more nervous, and slid her gaze back to Marc.<br/><br/>She nodded, after he had finished portraying both the cleric and the Reeve.<strong>"Well, we haven't run into any Tharians, and just as well, it seems."</strong>Though... was the Baron one of them?  Anselm seemed to indicate those horsemen had recently taken over.<strong>"Why anyone would want to ... involve themselves with demons, I can't imagine.  Though... you mention magic.  You don't mean those wizards someone mentioned... a group near here?"</strong><br/><br/><br/><strong>"To help in our search, you don't happen to have a ... map of this area, do you?  One where you could show us where people have been attacked, or any reports of ... strange creatures, or wolves?  That is, for sightings or attacks since the huntsman left?"</strong><br/><br/><br/>Then, to the others:<strong>"It seems to me we might at least try the cave where Sir Padrim cleared out the one group of wolves.  If there are others that have moved in, we at least have some idea where to look.  Some rocky... part, in woods northwest of here, he said."</strong><br/>
