"That does add up," Gimak agrees. "But there's still the question of where these things came from, how they got that net, and why they're doing this." He looks to Maria. "Where did you hear about this net?"

Elvarian finally responds. "They are definitely the cause of the issue here. We need to organize an attempt to catch and/or dispatch there things."

"I come from a place where magic is very common, especially necromantic magic, although I would rather not say where.", Maria says, "But I.....well I am a mage so I know a bit about magic and can cast spells. I am good at researching things and I remember being taught by my mom about certain magical items. I can cast spells too if you are wondering, though I cannot be that good because I can only memorize and cast 2 spells and one of them must be an invocation. I cannot even handle conjuring things or even charming others."
Like any child she is talkative and did not mean to ramble on. She is simply really telling the truth and be helpful. It is her nature.
"I do not know all the details of such a net but it does drain the life force of others. What are these things you keep mentioning? Are they creatures of some kind? How are they using the net?"

"Maybe that is what the constable wishes to speak to us about," Eringard says to Elvarian. "At least, I hope so..."
"A mage? When you're so young?" asks Gimak, a bit surprised. "Not that I'm any expert on the subject, mind. In any case, these 'things' are called night dwarves, although Drezden here thinks they might actually be something called 'wood woses.' Never heard of 'em myself, but apparently they are using this net to put people into a deep sleep, called the dream fever. It's affected over a hundred people in town. They just fall asleep and waste away until they die."

Drezden "There is another name for em too nightshade, wood wose sounds better to me. Aye though just a young girl and already a mage, wonders never cease."

"How do these Night Dwarves get the net on people?", Maria asks, "Maybe we can lure them out onto the open by using me as bait?"

"From what we witnessed, it looks like the woses break into people's houses at night, then toss the net on them while they are sleeping," Gimak says. "That's an awfully risky plan. You might fall victim to the sickness, too. In any case, we probably won't see any more tonight. We might have better luck tomorrow."

"Well I never said that I was directly using myself as bait. What I am saying is that one night I will leave the window open in my room. But I will not be in bed. I could disguise it to look like someone is sleeping in my bed using pillows while we hide in said room and wait in ambush. Maybe near the window off to the side corner, using the darkness as cover?", Maria suggested.

Drezden thinks for a moment "Might work but then again these critters might be smart enough to see through that ploy."

"According to the innkeeper, there haven't been any infected at the inn. At least, not yet. I suppose that might change, though," Gimak admits. "Especially if they are offered a tempting victim."

Drezden thinks about the plan "Maybe the inn wont work but maybe the homes near where they were running around tonight might work or we can follow em and ambush em tomorrow night?"

"Well I am coming along too. Sounds like you guys could use some help. I will see you tomorrow.", Maria says and then heads to her room.
In her room Maria closes the door after her and looks around, looking under the bed and checking for any hidden doors. Silly perhaps but for her a necessity. She then makes sure the window is locked and closed and not so easily opened before going to bed.
