Donny wasn't the only one with defiant questions towards the mayor, as the strange man in the fighter robes attempted to even assault the mayor. This only earned an eye roll. [b]"I don't like the mayor either, but that was a bit excessive. Hopefully you're more willing to punch monsters than these peasants."[/b] Soon after Maria and the Mayor explained some of the situation to them, but it hardly gave Donny anything useful. Maria suggested to the man with spear that he should ask Rotten Bone more about the history of the village. The mayor simply told Donny that the woman was [i]suppose[/i] to be a sacrifice, and apparently this is a regular occurrence with these God Hand folks. Despite how regular this may be, Donny wasn't exactly going to let this sick ritual continue, if he can help it. And even if he can't.

Otherwise the only worthwhile thing Donny was able to get from the Mayor was another job to hunt monsters in the Paraanon Ravine. He made a veil threat along with the job offer, but he left before Donny could give his rebuttal. Huffing, Donny wasn't going to look into that job. First he needed to take Lillian somewhere to rest and recover. Maria was so gracious as to offer her own home, which if Donny remembered was one of the bigger buildings around here. He wouldn't mind finding a place to rest for the night, as well as figure out what to do while he's here. Not only that, but he felt he needed to gather more equipment. While he may not be able to get anymore weapons, he could try to gather some gear such as more rope, torches, medical kits, etc. [b]"Alright, I'll take her to your place. Maria, if you have time, I'd like to talk to you more. I'm sure Lillian may have some questions too. Mind leading the way?"[/b]
