Return to...?

[nightsveilqueen]

*the party that left for the Great Hollow a week or two ago arrives in slightly smaller numbers than when they departed--just Sieg, Chrodechild, Jale, and Roberto, though they seem to be hale and well and merry until they take in the entranceway.*

*all thoughts of reporting on their own journey fly out Chrodechild's mind and she looks around to

*Blinks, jogging a head towards the entrance*

-what the heck happened?!

[toran_tenkai]

*leaning against a tree, he grabs his right hand as he hears Sieg. Tir turns around to look at Sieg*

"Oh. Welcome back. There was a bandit attack. Some of the merchants lost some goods money, and a few died, a lot of bandits died in return. You couldn't even capture one alive."

[wontknowtilitry]

Tir! *Stops over by him, frowning as he casts a glance at his hand* -You okay?

...a bandit attack, here..? I woulda asked why they'd attack a place like this, but with all the merchants... *Shakes his head* Well still! That's no excuse!

[toran_tenkai]

"For the most part. I'll be fine." *puts his right hand in his pocket*

"There's a lot of anti-Harmonian sentiment here. Harmonia's the big nation up here, and it's a complicated deal, as with anything with politics. It wouldn't surprise me if the bandits were politically motivated as well. But that doesn't explain why they decided to kidnap someone from the inn."

"Which, I've told the authorities about the kidnapping, but I've not seen anything being done. I might try and do a head count of my own, find out who's missing. I may be overstepping my bounds with the law, but at this rate..."

[wontknowtilitry]

Huh... *Frowns a bit, knowing he has his own concerns about Harmonia, but it still didn't give anyone reason to attack Budehuc*

*Blinks* Wait, what? Someone was kidnapped?!

[toran_tenkai]

"Yes. I saw it myself, the bandits fleeing from the hotel with some people bound and gagged. I wasn't able to get closer, what with it being the thick of the bandits."

[wontknowtilitry]

So there was more than one person taken? Did anyone see which way the bandits went? And how long ago was this anyway?

[toran_tenkai]

"About a week ago, and like I said, I didn't get a good look."

[wontknowtilitry]

..a-ah... Sorry. It's still kinda hard to believe. I'm sure you guys all did what you could, though. I'm gonna go check out the rest of the place and see if I can make myself useful.

Thanks for the updates, Tir.

[toran_tenkai]

"Yeah. Take care."

*grabs his right hand again as he walks off and whispers under his breath* "Damn rune."

[wontknowtilitry]

*Turns to do likewise, pausing to glance over his shoulder*

..... *Looks after Tir concernedly, but then goes on his way*
