"This slavery...it must stop. You say the gobs are taking slaves. Could this be the main purpose of their raids? We must discover where the slaves are being taken and learn what they being forced to do." Stephan feeling of desperation was evident on his face.

I guess that carved wound on Stephan's ring finger was a bit extreme. But how could he know!] [OOC: I really thought it was going to take longer to somehow recover the horses or their monetary equivalent.

"But I'm sorry it's under such a pall." Stephan listened carefully to Gregor and the others. He was glad his new companions were also listening. The more minds on this the better, he thought. Stephan asked, "Did you hear of a 'Vlaak'? He as a leader, we believe, of the group that attacked Sukiskyn." Aside to Feldard, Stephan said, "Master dwarf, I am torn. I would see you fulfill your oath but we must not let an opportunity to strike elude us." “It is good to see you again,” Stephan greeted the four. “But I’m sorry it’s under such a pall.”

It was becoming less and less surprising how quickly his companions lost sight of their own tasks that needed to be seen to - not that aiding these clans wasn't important - but Feldard was impatient to get on with getting to High Forge and then Threshhold. He'd made a promise to his fallen companion Nicolai and it was an oath he intended to keep.

If I may ask you a question. Did anyone mention the name Vlaad? And do you recognise the tower image on this token?" he said producing the silvered disk. “Yuri? If I may ask you a question.

Maruc nodded, "Yuri, Grisha and Grishkal, I am Maruc. The dwarf with the big axe is Feldard and this elf is Prince Hasan. The dashing fellow in the corner is Miklos, Stephan you know I think. Pyrtor do you have a map of the surrounding area? Can you mark on Cherkass, Hokol and Segenyev as well?" when Pyrtor returned with the map he asked, "Gregor can you detail goblin numbers, and note when each settlement was attacked and if possible which clans were involved. And if possible whichway they fled each assault?" “Gregor.” Maruc nodded, “Yuri, Grisha and Grishkal, I am Maruc. The dwarf with the big axe is Feldard and this elf is Prince Hasan.

You can help us. Come now to try to end this scourge, and make amends to this family, so your trading may start anew in peace. Or you will stay here in this homestead, subject to their protection.” Hasan nodded at the floor below, which was scrubbed but still showed some black blood and grit between its rough pine timbers. “They protected two goblins that attacked their home here.” (sorry – it’s substantively the same, but i edited the second para a bit. pls use this one)

While it is the authorities of this land that are responsible for your safety, we are here now and cannot ignore the evil you face. We will help you root out these slavetakers. You must have some sense of where the goblin clans lived. Who here can guide us there? Who here would join us in an attack? Now is the time for the people of the Dymrak to band together.” The Quiet Way be damned, he thought to himself.
