Lucy VerimYour search efforts bring no results as you check all the corpses over once more in case of something Chronus might have missed before also searching the grass for anything other then arrows. All in all it was quite a waste of time.
ChronusYou give the area where the necromancer a quick look over, and at first you find nothing but as you start to turn around to walk away you notice a slight glint from a whole hidden underneath some of the stump's roots. Looking around to make sure no one is looking you duck down, and reach in to grab the object, as you pull it out you find a book with a black cover bound in silver with neat writing on the cover that reads 'Memnok's Guide to the Basics and Fundamentals of Necromancy'. Standing back up you tuck it away beneath your robes, and give a final look around the clearing finding no one noticed you reach down and grab the book from its hiding spot.
Gained Memnok's Guide to the Basics and Fundamentals of NecromancyTrevor AbbotYou reach down and take one of the Necromancer's Femur bones before going off to gather up the arrows you launched during the battle to rather average effect.
Gained Necromancer's Femur Bone, and 9 Small Game ArrowsEtherealYou gather up roughly a dozen bones that are suitable enough to be made into arrows, but once you've gathered them you realize you'll have to hand them over to a skilled craftsman, probably at a fee of some sort, to get them forged into arrows that will be of any use. Handmade arrows of pure bone aren't like to harm anything other than maybe a rabbit ...
Whispers in the Darkwood has been Completed! +5 XP to Chronus, and +4 XP to Everyone Else. Chornus and Trevor Leveled Up!
With your quest finished your group as a whole searches the clearing, and the nearby vicinity for any sign of the reported missing child, but after an hour or so of searching you come up empty handed with somewhat sorrow filled hearts. Defeated in that respect you make your way back to the village of Belton taking turns to carry the wounded Jase as you try to make at least a semblance of haste hoping to arrive by dawn. As luck would have it you do arrive at dawn to be greeted by the Mayor, a jovial man big enough in the waist to make two people, by the name of Clyde Blademont and some of his house guard on the main entrance to the village. Seeing Jase is injured he has you all hand him over to a pair of his guards who carry him off to see the village healer as Clyde begins to tell you of a rather strange occurrence, when he went to check on the family whose child had gotten lost near the Darkwood he found the house abandoned with a thick layer of dust covering everything.
The Mayor questioned the neighbors about this and they reported that no one has lived in that farm for nigh on thirty years now, the family, and the child it would seem were an illusion, a lie, or something else entirely it would appear ... Shrugging the man thanks you anyway and hands you each a pouch of gold, along with Jase's though from it he takes a nearly a third of it to pay the healer for their services. With that he thanks you and turns with his guards at his heels leaving you all to do as you wish. You could visit the shops, go to the village's rather modest library, or perhaps visit the healer to learn of her services?
