[h2][color=0054a6]Grane Falo | Crocus[/color][/h2] [@Lmpkio]

The green man rubs his head initially, but then looks to his left, his right, and back towards the door, before looking back at Grane.

[color=1a7b30][b]"Now this be low-key Grane-ole' pal..."[/b][/color] Dreadlin says rather quietly as not to make his voice heard by any passers by outside, [color=1a7b30][b]"But there' be another reason why I jus' so 'appened to be around here and be headin' to ya... It uh... It relates to the village."[/b][/color]

He pauses as he clears his throat.

[color=1a7b30][b]"Recently it appears that some ov our village folks have gone missin'. I believe we be down uh... four of em', if I recall. You dun happen to have seen any of em have ya?"[/b][/color]

[color=0054a6]”From reports that I’ve been given and from what I heard or seen, since I last visited the village. No, it’s news to me now. The only thing that I know is that Maiz left the village without anyone knowing. Since then, I haven’t received anything that could relate to his current location or status. ”[/color]

There was a bit of a pause as Grane appeared to be thinking about something. As his face showed a sudden realization as he remembered something. 

[color=0054a6]”It might not be much, but I did get reports of a few known rouge wizards and their underlings across Fiore who meant their death against some creature that left bruises and claw marks on the bodies. There has yet to be a witness to describe the creature. Because of that, it could be anything. I can’t confirm that it was Maiz’s work, but from I have seen from these bodies, it couldn’t be some animal. Every major injury that these bodies had were on vital areas. I could have some knights investigate further, but that could be putting them in danger. Last I heard in the village, Maiz detested humans. I tried investigating further with these events, but found nothing of worth.”[/color]

As he was about to return back to his desk, Grane turned back to Dreadlin as he tried to ask again. [color=0054a6]“Seeing as there is nothing else big going on in Crocus. What do you plan to do next?”[/color]
