Lloyd: Introductions

The sounds of battle drifting across the town still all too noticeable. As your small group of make-shift heroes catch a well earned rest, Father Zantus starts to walk back to the cathedral, with a small child in tow.

"Old Quinn, you better stay with Father Zanthus until things have settled here. The Hagfish is a bit far from here. I'll send someone for you as soon as it's safe."

Lloyd has just finished assisting the Hagfish's owner, Jargie Quinn, who was tripped earlier in the chaos and didn't manage to run because of his single leg. The old man hid under his stall and is now wet and dripping in his lobster chowder.

"But Norah..." The old man started to protest.

"We'll also check on Norah." Lloyd assured the old man, though unsure if he could find the time to check on he man's beloved fish.

He looks around and notices the new comer approach them.

"I am Lloyd Avertin. A member of the town's militia and we appreciate your help back there. These are my friends, the one with the staff is Gryffin and the one with the bow is Jarek."

Gryffin greets each of the newcomers while Jarek just gives them both a nod.

The border guard then turns to Lloyd.

"The sole goblin took a roundabout route and proceeded to go south. But that's just not all. It's tracks have merged with other tracks. More goblin tracks."

There is what feels like a blanket of calm for the briefest of seconds, and then a sudden bloom of fire leaps into the sky just south of the festival grounds, sending cheers, screams, and what sounds like goblin singing up with it. A thick pall of smoke starts to plume into the sky.

Something big has just gone up in flames, and you are sure the goblins are to blame. What do you want to do?
