" A Beast Cult that worships the Black Wolf, that lives on the High Moor amongst other places. Though there are reports of possible werecreature membership. I've yet to come across one, thats a member yet. I always carry around my silver dagger, have you got one?" She replied matter of factly.

"Cult o' the Black Wolf?" interupted Cathmhaol, "Who're they?" Zeric nodded, " Aye, that would have been my question, too."

I've yet to come across one, thats a member yet. I always carry around my silver dagger, have you got one?" She replied matter of factly. Zeric made a mental note to acquire a silver weapon, just in case, " Do you think this Black Wolf Cult may be the bandits we've been hearing about? If so, then we may indeed have a common purpose? We have been charged, by the Baroness Cromm, as our gracious host, so eloquently stated, to find out what became of the overdue merchant caravan bound for Cromm's Hold."

"No, lassie," replied Cathmhaol. "Ye think I need one, eh?" "That or a magical weapon. Its the only thing that seems to work against werecreatures, they just regenerate the damage otherwise. You may be able to put them down for a minute or so but they'll just keep getting back up. So have you got any?" she replied dryly "Its certainly a possibility. Id think for the short term I have no real option, if I want to find my men again. " she paused frowning. "Tomorrow morning at dawn. Here in the bar. Ill have Binn to prepare us breakfast, get an early night and get that priest in a bath. The Cult maybe to find us by his smell. Ill bid you farewell and Ill see you in the bar at dawn" The woman called Minem walked off to the barman, from her rather heated conversation you only hear a few words. "....delivery did you get it...... ......breakfast at dawn...... .....they are not ready..... " After a few minutes she disappears up the stairs in what could really on be described as a huff from the seemingly emotionless woman.

"Strange woman," muttered Cathmhaol as Minem headed to the bar. He looked at Zeric, "I don't know what t' think o' this business o' silver weapons but better t' be safe than sorry. See t' it, will ye?"
"Oh, an' if ye see Vane, better tell him t' ha' a bath. A man wi' no nose could smell him comin', nevermind a bunch o' unwashed cultists!"

A man wi' no nose could smell him comin', nevermind a bunch o' unwashed cultists!" " Oh aye, not to mention a werewolf!" the sorceror answered. He turned to the barman, " Is there a decent blacksmith in Liam's Hold? If so, can you direct me there, please?"

"Yeah there is, but he doesn't have the skills of a dwarf. He is a basic blacksmith, shoe your horse, create nails and tools. Yeah he can do that, knock you up a silver weapon? I doubt that very much. Sorry. Speak to Lady Muck in the morning, I'm sure she has something up her sleeve" he pointed upstairs, obviously referring to the woman who had just disappeared upstairs.
"As for your smelly friend, you'll find him on the other side of town by the old abandoned mill. Its where he suspected that Ghast was." commented the barman

The cold night air pierces your clothes, even though you are dressed for the harsh cold that is often present at this time of year. Your breaths are also visible, glimmering in the light of the lantern that is held in Zeric's right hand.
Liam's Hold isn't that much bigger than Cromm's Hold. The buildings are built in a similar fashion, using local stone and remnants of previous buildings. There are a number of larger buildings in the village, they look like fortified manor houses. Likely the houses of the more affluent villagers. Probably built in more dangerous times, when evil of Dragonspear Castle was at its height.
As you approach the abandoned mill which sits on the stream at the southern edge of the town, the voice of vane can be heard as clear as elven crystal. "Cmere, little ghast. Cmere! I know you are here. Come to Vane!"

Zeric grinned wryly, " Boss, I'm duty bound to tell you that Vane probably wouldn't look too kindly on interlopers on his 'Holy Purpose'... So, why not?"

Zeric tapped Cathmhaol on the arm, whispering, "Do we help, or do we watch the smelly bastard at work, Boss?"

As the two men watched, Vane wandered around the Mill, calling for the ghast in a deranged manner. "Here Ghast-ee............C'mere Im waiting for you......... There are people to eat around here, you want to eat us dont you........ Lovely food I am, come and eat me Mr Ghast." After ten minutes or so of watching, from within the water a shambling creature rises. Its low groans filling the area. "uuuuuuuuhhhhhh, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh." Vane jumps in delight, he squeals "I found one you, found you!! I knew I would!" Wrapping a handkerchief around his face, he runs at the creature hammer raised "Foul beast Ill smite you down"OOC- added in to further stuff along.... actions please

Zeric pointed at the ghast, "Oh, well... infor a copper, in for a silver..."
He began the magical incantaion and gestures which loosed bolts of energy towards the creature, remaining at a safe range.
OOC: Magic Missile, in case you're wondering... I believe, IIRC, there is one missile at 1st level and an additional one each Odd-numbered level after that?
