Giunona ScarletbarkHP: 33/33 - AC: 18 - CD: 1/1 - Inspiration: Yes The dwarf nods. - " Thank you. I'll see you later then." She goes to leave but stops and turns again toward the other priest: " Oh, one last thing. Captain Miles, erm.. The man from the Purple Dragon Army. Did he say where he was going when he left?"

"I believe he returned to the inn," Montrel replies.

As Giunona walks toward the hill on which the mayor's manor sits, a tall, bony lad runs up and tugs on her cloak. "Please, my lady," the boy cries. "My ma is hurt. Can you help her?"

Giunona ScarletbarkHP: 33/33 - AC: 18 - CD: 1/1 - Inspiration: Yes Giunona looks at the boy, then looks at the hill with the mayor's house on top of it. Sigh." Of course, young man, we can't leave your ma' hurt, right? Lead the way!" - she answers to him, with a warm tone. " What happened to her?"

"One of them dead folk tried to carry me off," the boy explains as he leads Giunona to a nearby house. "But my ma fought it off and saved me, but she got real hurt bad." He leads her inside, where an adult woman is lying on the floor, unconscious. She is alive, but has suffered grievous injuries. It looks like someone amateurishly patched her up, so she is stable.

Giunona ScarletbarkHP: 33/33 - AC: 18 - CD: 1/1 - Inspiration: Yes " Hmm...I see." - Giunona says as she inspects the woman's wounds. - " Did you apply those bandages? You did a really good job, you probably saved your mum's life." As she says so, she lays her hands on the unconscious woman, channeling an healing light.

The woman's wounds mend, and her eyes flutter open as she regains consciousness. "What? What happened?" she asks, in a daze. "Robert? Robert!" she calls out in a panic.
"I'm right here, ma!" the lad says. The woman grabs him in a hug and breaks down in tears. "Oh, thank the gods you are alright!"

Giunona ScarletbarkHP: 33/33 - AC: 18 - CD: 1/1 - Inspiration: Yes Giunona backs off a little, leaving enough space for the family reunion. She smiles a bit, nostalgically. She wasn't used to that feeling, but all that happened made her feel homesick. " How do you feel now, madam...?"

Only just now really noticing Giunona, the woman looks up at her in a bit of surprise, then manages to get to her feet with her son's help. "I'm...good now. Thank you, stranger. I don't know how to repay you for this kindness."

Giunona ScarletbarkHP: 33/33 - AC: 18 - CD: 1/1 - Inspiration: Yes " Oh no, don't worry! There is no need to do anything, I was just doing my duty. And please, stay still yet. We don't want those wounds to reopen, no?" - she says gently. " Now, there is only one thing I need from the both of you: rest a bit, till the sun is up in the sky at most. Then pack something for the night and head to the temple. You'll be safe there. Can you do this for me?"

"Yes, but it looks like evening is already approaching, so we better go soon," the woman replies. "Thank you again for your help."

Giunona ScarletbarkHP: 33/33 - AC: 18 - CD: 1/1 - Inspiration: Yes " Be careful, and don't strain yourself. I would accompany you but I have to run some errands before nightfall. I'll see you later." - she says, before taking leave with a nod of her head. Giunona leave the woman's house and resume her walk toward the Mayor's house, this time at a brisk place. OOC Oh God ;_; what time will be night approximately?

Just as she's reaching the base of the hill, Giunona spots a pair of people descending the hill, heading right for her. Once they get closer, she recognizes one of them as the mayor herself, Nichole Theneuse. The person with her is a strapping young fellow who bears a family resemblance to her.
Nichole's face is set in a hard frown, as she is clearly angered and frustrated with the current situation. "Ah, it's you," she says in recognition of Giunona. "You did well last night, and the town of Pommeville thanks you. By my count, we lost six people last night, and dozens more were injured. We need to find out what caused this and put an end to it. I think we'll likely need your help to see us through this."
The young man beside her says, "I'm Terence Theneuse, Nichole's brother. I'd like to help you, if I can." Terence looks to be in his mid-twenties, and is wearing studded leather. He has an axe on his back, a hatchet on his belt, and a quiver with bow and arrows slung over his shoulder.

(OOC: I'd say the sun will probably set around 8 PM or so.)

Giunona ScarletbarkHP: 33/33 - AC: 18 - CD: 1/1 - Inspiration: Yes As the mayor and the man approach her, she raises her hand to greet them. "We need to find out what caused this and put an end to it. I think we'll likely need your help to see us through this." " Yes, on that subject... I spent the afternoon researching the books contained in Brother Montrel's library. Apparently the ruins near Pommeville are the remnants of a temple dedicated to an evil God, run by a priest named Nedrezar, a name that was also spoken by some of the undead we faced in the graveyard last night. His crypt was originally sealed by a certain Truehart, but I think some travelers may have broken the seal." "I'm Terence Theneuse, Nichole's brother. I'd like to help you, if I can." " Yes, I'm thinking of assembling a party to investigate the ruins and see what's amiss. I could certainly use your help, young man. I'm Giunona, nice to meet you, sad it has to be in those circumstances." Formalities concluded, Giunona proceeds: " Today is probably late to start our research, but I was thinking tomorrow. if we're blessed to see another sun, after seeing if someone else is up to the task. I wanted to ask Captain Miles to join us as well, and...Uh, Nichole have you see the young monk that was with us last night, Nicholas? At one point we got separated, he was still with Oswald, that farmer that guided us through the town."
