The old man thinks for a bit, and then states proudly that he has never been to Granttown before and that this will certainly be the best trip ever. You have already decided to keep him, but are slowly starting to reconsider it. "So what is it, Grantown, Barrsmouth or Barrspring?" The old man thinks again, and answers: "Definately Aviemore. Wait...thats where we are right now. Which of them is south?" "Thats Barrsmouth." "Then that where the Gehennas went."
With great difficulty you drag the old man to the inn. He has a tendency of randomly changing directions, and you have to literally turn him around from time to time. You spend some time attempting to ascertain who he actually is, but he keeps calling himself the king of the Tokzoku empire, which you highly doubt. And at one point he becomes convinced that he is a fort. However his relatively small amount of sanity returns quickly and he notices that he is not a fort, nor made of stone.
Upon finally reaching the inn, you have a very(very) hard time convincing everyone else that he is a valid source of info, but everyone else found absolutely nothing, making things far easier. In a fit of sanity and/or luck, the man manages to convince everyone else that maybe, but just maybe, he does know something: "The Gehenna family travelled south to Barrsmouth after they got tired of The Barrtal Monster Hunters trying to buy, take and steal Grimbane. They were hoping that travelling farther away would get rid of them." After this he remains silent and relatively sane looking.
You spend a week in Aviemore, attempting to see if you can find anything else. The others dont trust the old man, and quite frankly, neither do you. Over the course of the week you find absolutely nothing. Not a single clue or piece of paper on anything related to the Gehennas. Having no other choice, you follow the old mans directions and get ready for a trip to Barrsmouth. Before long, you are on your path, the old man with you. The others in the party do not particularly like having him around, but agree to it if you are the one to take care of him.
You leave Aviemore and head south, to Nagatron. The path to Barrspring is long, but the less hilly terrain of Nagatron makes travel easier than in Barrtal. You travel alongside Barr, stopping in the small villages that live off the river, but only to sleep and eat. You would think about stopping a bit longer in some, but your compatriots wish to find Grimbane and to return home. After a week of travel, you see someone waving at you in the middle of the road. You stop next to him to hear what he has to say.
A couple dozen bandits had apparently attacked his village and dragged off 8 people to their camp. He hasnt been able to get any help from any of the local lords, and begs for your help.
This is met by mixed reactions from your group, half want to go on, and call someone else to help. The other half think you should go help them out. Paul is ambivalent about the whole thing, and asks for your opinion on the matter.
So, do you go help, or continue to Barrsmouth? And if you decide to help, do you go to the village, or directly to the camp?
