    Ekbard greets goodie. "Master now? Can you read magic scrolls? Would you like to see if you can figure out what one i have does?"

    Goodie reads the scroll intently. With help from the Shire he decodes the meaning, a spell of sustained flight. Though it would require a proper Mage or an elf to cast it.

    The two salute Ekbard "Yes, Ser!" and run off.

    As the halflings begin to crowd Goodie with a million requests, one lone voice of dissent perks up. A very elderly halfling.

    "Master my wizened hole. Sure he may have the power and been off venturin' in mannish lands..."

    Some in the crowd nod.

    "...be he has yet to go a questin' in service of the Shire

    And more so boy, I know those features. You're a bloody Tarmsworth lad aren't ya?! AREN'T YA?"

    "Tarmsworth...Tarmsworth...TARMSWORTH"

    The words pound in Goodie's mind. He can see it as if it were yesterday.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2g3lvNkAfI


    People running in the streets screaming at another murder victim found in a bakery or a shop or a house, others fighting each other out of sheer paranoia. The outbreak of Lycanthropy had hit the village two months before. By this point half the villagers were dead, killed by the werewolves or falsely accused.

    Goodie himself had barely escaped with his life. After a bloodbath at the gallows, he had retreated to the old Mannish dungeon at the edge of the town. A lord and his court mage had built it two hundred years prior. He only went into the first room, where as a boy he had hidden supplies. He had narrowly avoided a lynching.

    The townfolk were holding another of their perverse "votes" to see who to execute next. Poor Conyver, he was being accused over the way he said hello a few weeks prior. The game was rigged anyway, the wolves were always playing mind games pushing the villagers to kill their own.

    Goodie patched himself up, blood still dripping. Soetrard, he would head there, find a group and lose himself in mercenary tasks, he was rid of this place.

    In the present the old man regards Ekbard. Goodie snaps out of whatever stupor had overcome him.

    "At the human has stones. The beast in the woods must be killed"

    "The men who were old when I was a boy spoke of the cult of the Bumblebear. In an attempt to reach his plane, the eternal honey mine, the cult breed monster with monster to create one with enough planar magic to get them there.

    They were undone though when their reach exceeded their grasp. By their grafting of dragon flash and that of a devil they had bound. Arcane magics brought forth a creature from that culture of muscle and tissue. It slaughtered the cult in one night."

    He looks Ekbard in the eyes.

    "You have seen it, haven't you lad? The Dragvil?"

    Goodie scries into the wood where he glimpses an old gnarled massive oak tree, on a hill beside it is the entrance to the old cults lair. He cannot see further, but the Dragvil lies within.

    OOC: Lair is at 14.12 on Shire map.

    Goodie eyes the crystal. A crystal of animation. It can allow an inanimate object to enact a set of simple instructions twice a day.
