Gordon looked the trio up and down. Sure, the guy looked kinda tough with that big metal arm, but he wasn't sure about the dog-like creature or the teenager. "Middlemist, huh? You must be from that... what is it...Mystic Ham then?" He asked, after a brief pause as his older brain mixed up the last half of the name. "Well, it depends which missing persons you're looking for. Our most recent report was about some group of travelers getting stuck in there." Gordon reached under the bar and pulled out a box. Upon opening it, one could see files within it's confines, filled with yellowed paper. 

"These are all of the Web Valley notices we get. Let's see here, X791...here we go." Gordon pulled a sheet from the box, upon which was scrawled a map, showing how far and where the last party went. The trail was drawn around the outer edges of the valley, showing just how hesitant the Hunters were to go any deeper. Additional details concerning the case were scrawled above the map, showing that the group was a band of merchants from Bosco, and time of disappearance: 5 days ago.

"Here's what we've got. The poor fools must have gotten lost much further in...and considering the time they went missing, there's no guarantee that they're still alive." Gordon cautioned, as several hunters about started whispering. [i]They're goners...[/i] They whispered, [i]We've tried everything, as usual...[/i]

Celia snapped out of her daydream to hear all of this, and she simply countered him, them all, really, with a bright smile. "That's no way to think, Mr. Gordon, " She bent down to pet Noire on the head as she continued, "There's still a chance to find them, we just have to push onward, even with the risks. Simple as that, right, Jayce?"
