Blood Run: A Terror Returns RPG - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Kuric sat calmly listening to the various stories about Jak and Owyn, realizing that more than likely they are the scary stories that are typical in small communities where 'strange' folk aren't trusted. "Why" he thought, "I've been that stranger more than once and I've been accused of more than I've ever done."

Kuric readily dismissed the stories with an exasperated sigh and sunk back into his chair with a great deal of agitation. As it seemed that these so called defenders were only capable of defending their chair from somebody else taking it, Kuric began to question the reason why he joined this motley band in the first place.

While in the midst of his own thoughts he sat up with a jolt at hearing a voice from below chant:

""Hey ho, in moonlight they were seen, both Old Jak and the Nightowl Owyn, dancing around a ritual stone, blood in their hands and evil to the bone."

All too quickly it was revealed to be the younger sibling of on the other defenders. Kuric openly chuckled at this occurrence and sympathized with the lad.

"Aye" Kuric said speaking to himself, "a little more action and less talkin would be good lad." Kuric was glad for the distraction but then it seemed the endless debate would continue until Parkun stated that it might be best to get moving.

Kuric, seeing a window of opportunity, gave the suggestion, "Perhaps we would be best off splittin inta groups and speakin to those and looking around town a bit, it would be helpful to get into the wild too. I think 2 or 3 groups might be enough fer our needs"

"Two groups, I think," said Toby, "to check around town this afternoon. We can meet back here in a couple hours, and be home for dinner. A trek into the wild might best be saved for tomorrow, as the gathering of supplies and all would probably take more time than we have if we were going to make any progress out there today. I also think that those of you with families would want to let them know before you go traipsing off like that, yes?

"Now, try to split yourselves up evenly, and we can decide who'll cover what areas from there - if no one has any problems with that?"

Breathing a quiet sigh of relief that Farmer Mugwort had decided to step in and apply a little common sense to the discussion, Sam loosely cupped his near-empty tankard in his hands and stared at it while he pondered. He still doubted that one of the Bree-folk was behind the attacks, but clearly several of the others did.

'We don't need any more stories, we need to see what really happened,' he thought. The young hobbit frowned in concentration as he tried to recall some of the talk swapped by customers at the smithy over the last weeks. One name jumped into his mind all of a sudden and he looked around at the others and cleared his throat.

"Edin Cengal might be a good one to talk to," he began uncertainly. "He lives in Bree, but he farms outside of town, and his place was hit twice. He comes to the forge every once in awhile to get something mended, and he seems like a sensible sort. The thing is, I'm no more than a nodding acquiantace. I'm willing to go talk to him, but if anybody here is a friend of his, it might be better if one of them asked him about what happened."

His blue eyed glance rested on the face of each of the others hopefully.

After speaking to the group, Kuric began gathering his few things, excited about the prospect of finally leaving and going hunting. Upon hearing Toby proclaim that nobody would be going into the wild, Kuric sat back down with exasperation and annoyance. He sighed loudly but Toby was getting the attention now.

Shaking his head with disbelief he began to speak until Sam spoke first. Kuric slumped further in his seat awaiting another discourse wondering if this would ever end.

Looking around at the group, Kuric was more certain than ever that he was the only one who cared to go out and make some kills. After Sam spoke Kuric made one final appeal, "Actions, not words are what we be needin'. Bah, some defenders we've turned out ta be!" Kuric proclaimed with a mirthless laugh.

Pounding his fist forcefully on the table he stood up. Glaring at Sam he said, "I'm going with you lad, I'll show ya how we'll figure this one out." Kuric was hoping that if the two could make it out alone with one other perhaps he could convince them to go out in the wild, he figured that Toby couldn't be in his group so in an attempt to maneuver that he looked at Toby and declared, "Why don't you take the others as they'll need yer leadership." With that Kuric grabbed his pack and readied himself waiting for a reply he dug his fat finger into his ear cleaning out some of the accumulated grime.
