Description
"I hear you may be looking for work," Grom says between drinks. "I know the man who has trained you. You see, I need someone who is a little less brawn, and a little more brain." "There have been two murders here in the city. They were prominent people and the murders don't seem to make sense. I need you to look into the matter. Speak to Eila Romgrid first, she's the wife of one of the victims. Then see Friosh Karn for more information, he is a witness to the other."

The parley
Quest Offering You say, "Hail, Grom Vermach." "I hear you may be looking for work," Grom says between drinks. "I know the man who has trained you. You see, I need someone who is a little less brawn, and a little more brain." "There have been two murders here in the city. They were relatively prominent people and the murders don't seem to make sense. I need you to look into the matter. Speak to Eila Romgrid first, she's the wife of one of the victims. Then see Friosh Karn for more information, he is a witness to the other." Eila Romgrid "Eila Romgrid," you say. "May I speak to you for a moment?" "I don't really feel like speaking to anyone right now," she says, coldly. "I understand this is a difficult time," you say, "but if you could spare a moment, I would be greatly appreciative." "I don't know what you want to know, I'm sure," she says. You smile wanly and say, "I doubt that. I would like to know just what you saw and heard." Eila looks up at you, her eyes red. "The man kicked down our door and plunged his sword in my husband." You look at your feet for a moment. "Did the man say anything before the unfortunate incident." "I don't know. I was reaching fo rmy sword," she says. "I didn't hear much. I think he may have said something like, 'you knew about this?' but I can't be sure." "I see," you say. "You were reaching for your sword, so you did not get a good look at the man. Is that correct?" "It is," Eila says. "As I said, all I remember is him kicking the door in, shouting something, then stabbing my husband." "Thank you," you say. "I appreciate you answering these questions at such a time. One last thing. When was your husband murdered?" Eila glares at you. She gruffly says, "Last night." "Thank you," you say in surprise. "I'll leave you now." Friosh Karn "Friosh Karn?" you ask. "Aye," he says. "I am. What can I do for you, traveler?" "I am here about the recent murder," you say. "I understand you were a witness." "A witness," he says, laughing. "I was talking to the man when he was killed." "I see," you say, stunned. "Did you see the man who did this?" you ask. "I did," he says. "It was Reingraf of the Morson clan. He lives up on the other side of the hill. Near the roat towards Dahknarg." "Did he say anything before he killed the man you were talking to?" "He accused him of selling tainted food, of killing his family," Friosh says. "Then when the man stammered, he killed him." "I see," you say again. "What did he do after that?" "It was strange," he says. "He was wild-eyed, he had blood in his hair. He picked clean the man's pockets and took everything he had. Including the bread I was going to buy." "When I shouted after him that I needed that bread, that my family was hungry," Friosh continues, "he tossed me back some salted lamb out of his bag." "That's interesting," you say. "It's plain weird I say," Friosh says. "I have work to be done though," he says. "So, please be on your way." "Thank you for your time, Friosh," you say. Quest Completion "So you have talked to the people I sent you to?" Grom says. "You were very quick. I appreciate your speed." "So, now we have a name," he says, "and the description of a feral man. A feral man with manners. Something doesn't add up here. I know I didn't introduce myself. I am Grom Vermach from the city of New Targonor. The noble house I belong to deals with these sorts of incidents on a regular basis." "What we have no, though, doesn't seem to make sense. It may be dangerous, but I need you to do something else for me if we're going to get to the bottom of this."
