The following morning is much the same as yesterday. Warm, but with a light rain making a pitter-patter sound on the roof above. Everyone feels refreshed and a little better after the experience in the Eyrie.
However, when Drezden, Elvarian and Gribben step out of their room, they find a minor commotion waiting for them in the hall, just outside Eringard's and Maria's room. Gimak is there, speaking with the innkeeper. Both turn to the group as they approach.
"Ah, you're up. I was just about to go wake you. It looks like the women have gone missing, sometime during the night. No sign of a struggle, but the windows were open and I found these on the floor." He holds out his hand, revealing a few bristles and thorns--just like those found in the farmer's sister's bedroom. "I fear the wood woses have struck again."
==============
It is now Ches 12th, 1367 DR at seventh bell.
Everyone regains 1 HP.
Gribben can study new spells today.

Elvarian slaps his forehead before responding. "Oh no, not this again."

Drezden "Uh this again we need to get to that temple ruin and deal with what lies beneath it."

"Agreed," Gimak says. "First we'll need to go see the constable and ask for permission to enter the temple ruins, otherwise his men will not allow us to enter. He's expecting our report from the Eyrie anyway."

Drezden "Right you are Gimak." stopping down to get a quick breakfast the ranger orders a quick order of bacon to go and pays the inkeeper then heads off to see the constable.

The party, now down to four, head to the Constable's Tower. After they are asked to hand over their weapons at the courtyard gate, they are brought in to see Constable Tren Noemfor. "Ah, you've returned," he says from his desk, gesturing for them to sit. "But I notice you are two short. Casualties of the Eyrie?"

Drezden shakes his head "No something else, they were taken from their rooms at the inn last night and thorns were left behind. Only thing we found in the eyrie were some fire beetles, a bear and two beastmen with eagles. Took care of them all. Appears the culprits are still around and not in the eyrie."

Tren frowns at this news. "Then if the culprits are not the dwarves of the Eyrie...then who are they? We're right back where we started, and people are still disappearing."

Drezden "Aye and so far the only other place left that I would like to get permission to search is the ruins of the church. An the only other place we could look is beneath the tower ruins. But the eyrie held no secrets hidden within that would cause this trouble."

"The temple basement?" asks Tren. "No, I've already sent men down there. Most of them were killed by some creature lurking down there. I can't see any connection it would have to these disappearances. Unless you know something that connects the two?"

"We believe there is a connection based on some old lore. All we need is permission, we would obviously assume all of the risk." Elvarian says

Drezden nods agreeing with Elvarian "Aye we wouldn't put any of what happens on anyone but ourselves if you'd grant us permission constable."

Tren takes a moment to think this over. He strokes his chin, arches his brow, and looks to each of them--Drezden, Elvarian, Gimak and then Gribben. Finally he says, "Very well. I suppose I have nothing to lose at this point. And if nothing else, if you can kill that monster down there, I won't need to waste manpower guarding it any more. I'll send word to my men to let you enter. But again, I warn you, the last group I sent down there was nearly wiped out. I would advise you prepare yourself well, especially now that you are two people down."

"Thank you, hopefully we will be able to deal with the issues below." Elvarian says by way of thiank.
