[Praefectus Screptum]

Tantallos nodded and moved a hand up for a moment.

'And here we go again."

[Haspen]

Daniel and Christopher sneakily moved toward the village. From quite a distance they could see what was going on there.

There was a knight in bleached-blue armor and brown hair, wielding a rather large spear. A flurry of soldiers, checking on the houses and rounding the population, few other grabing bucketfuls of water, trying to put a fire of something that looked like a small country estate; as in, poorly constructed and made mostly of wood, bar the stone foundations. The man with the 'pastel' armor and the spear often checked on the various belongings and bags that his soldiers took from the scared peasants or from inside of the abandoned houses.

The spear knight in question was no one else than Aaron himself.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Christopher approached him.

"Hello, Aaron. What's all this then?"

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Ami, when you have a minute, can I get a heal?"

[scapheap]

"Ami, when you have a minute, can I get a heal?"

:"Here you go."

[Sirus]

Gregor saluted the knight.

: "Lord Aaron? What are you doing here, sir?"

[Haspen]

Aaron looked at Christopher with distress on his face, before he recognized the spy. He also nodded to Gregor who appeared in the village seemingly from nowhere.

"Ah, it's you Christopher. As you can see, now that the Eor's band isn't around, we're searching the village. Unfortuantely, someone set fire to Eor's house and it spread over entire structure. Damned wooden buildings... Considering you're alone here, either the mercenaries were decimated and you're the only survivor, or the battle were won and you were going here to investigate." Aaron looked around, and the up, at the pillar of dark smoke.

"Oh, the smoke, isn't it?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"That imbecile."

Chris sighed.

"The 'leader' of the mercenaries you hired is the moron who torched the house. He seemed to insist it would be more efficient to spend days sifting through wreckage than a few hours ransacking the place."

[freeformschooler]

: "Ah- Gregor? Adrien? Where'd they get off to?"

Charlotte saw the smoke.

: "Oh, don't tell me..."

Try to find Gregor.

[Haspen]

"Hmmm, is it really that guy? The fire started a while after we got there and started searhcing the houses. I was under the impression that it was accident. And my soldiers didn't notice.. what his name, Adrien? They haven't noticed him either. But I will take your word - if I will find Adrien, he is going to spend a while with me. Anyway - we haven't found the stone on our own. Had any luck with the Eor and his band?"

In roughly the same time, Charlotte ventured through the hills and bushes to the outskirts of the village, and she could see Gregor, and Christopher, and Aaron.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"No such luck. He didn't have it with him."

Chris looked at Aaron's troops.

"I guess it was for the best our Lady sent you. We'll need the extra manpower to sift through the wreckage in any reasonable amount of time."

[Sirus]

: "Eor didn't seem to appreciate our presence. He ordered his troops to attack and most of them were killed in the battle, along with himself."

[scapheap]

meanwhile
:"That a lot of smoke...in the direction we are traveling...should we hurry up?"

[Furtuka]

"Probably"

[CrimsonEon]

meanwhile
:"That a lot of smoke...in the direction we are traveling...should we hurry up?"

Olison stopped with everyone who was following him as they made into a clearing. The smoke was clearly visible above.
: "I just hope it doesn't start spreading to these woods. And there's been no report from Chris or Daniel, they must have been held up by something. Keep your weapons sheathed for now, we're moving in."
Rally the group into the village.
