"We meet again friend. Do you not remember, it is I, Shontale, from The Drunken Belchar Tavern.
"You too, I see, have come here to investigate the rumours. I have heard some things of the cave ahead, things that do not sit well with me.
"Do you believe, as I do, that the creatures there refer to our protection of the girl, juanne?
"How comes about the time when working for good is working with evil? It cannot be. I do not want to repeat the mistakes of my past, nor do I wish to make fresh mistakes in the future.
"I can only think that we must investigate this further. I have heard that the juanne was seen entering the Healer's lair; a bad sign if she is unwell. We should travel there as soon as time permits, and see if we might discover why darkness seems to intent on protecting the girl." |
