<strong>"Oh I... right.  Right, we can... think about that another time, I guess."</strong>For the moment, Daria was glad the conversation was moving on from the mis-heard word, and the joking suggestions about thighs, tits, and alternate forms of payment.<br/><br/>Instead, there was news from the acolyte - very relevant news to their investigation!<br/><br/><strong>"What, really?  When.?   And.. what sort of beasts, did you see them?  Or... could you please tell us who did?"</strong>Daria, and Gwyn, were clearly quite excited, eager, at this indication of something they could really sink their teeth into.  It sounded like there really were creatures... maybe wolves, maybe not... causing the trouble.  Her earlier guesses about some possible conspiracy seemed incorrect... people wouldn't be risking their own starvation just to spite the Baron.  No, they really were scared, and the best way through this was for the adventurers to find the beasts responsible, and drive them off.  Or kill them, presumably.<br/><br/>Lisa certainly wanted to do the right thing ... and so did Josh, obviously.  He seemed remarkably enthusiastic about it... they both were, and that suited Daria just fine.  Paco was maybe more... cynical?  But he wasn't objecting, so she was happy to run with it.<br/><br/><strong>"Yes, we would be ... honoured to meet Elder Anselm."</strong>this Acolyte seemed a bit squeamish about the dead body, but maybe the Elder would be able to tell them if the creature that killed the tinker was the same one that had killed the Reeve... and the Balliff?
