From then on, he decided to stay close to the group instead of wandering around like he was before. On their way to the town, he noticed some curious children scampering about in the woods, attempting to stay hidden and watch him at the same time. He smirked a bit but didn't pay them any attention. When they got to town, he noticed it was very empty in the streets, but he heard a lot of commotion coming from just beyond the markets where there was a field. The crowd, however, still seemed rather small for whatever festival had been going on. Thats when Dremmick noticed that the building just across was a medical building. The tents outside with quite the number of people receiving treatment as well. That could only mean that the facility was full inside. Putting the wreckage outside the town and how full the medical center was, he could easily deduce that they were attacked recently, which would explain how quiet the town was. He noticed a lone knight standing watch with the Taxis healers, straightening up as the group got closer. Dremmick looked over the strength competition. It was an impressive sight, but there didn't seem to be that many participants. Most likely also caused by whatever recent attack they suffered. When they offloaded Mason to the Taxis healers, Dremmick breifly explained to the healers what had happened. [color=A52A2A]"I'll go reserve a spot for our horses in the stables and reserve a few rooms at the inn. I'll be busy by the time you all arrive, so unless it is important, try not to bother me. However, when Mason is up and about I would like to speak with him."[/color] he said before he took his horse down the street towards the inn. Dremmick reserved spaces for all of their horses, and the one ox, and went ahead to the inn. He was greeted by the bar maidens and simply reserved the rooms and ordered a pint of ale. It seemed like he was the only one here at the moment, so he found a corner table to relax a bit before he would get to work studying that sample he collected earlier. It was going to be a long night. [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/354788242224185348/458752908259885056/wasser.regular.png[/img] Lynn was worried when the young seraph boy didn't wake up. He was stable now, thanks to their combined efforts, but she was still worried about him. He rode inside the carriage with the two lassa girls till they got to Pearl. Once there, Lynn had to fight the urge to go watch the competitions. Instead she met with one of the healers that went to tend to Mason, though trying not to stay too far away from Metis in the process. [color=7FFFD4]"Hello, My name is Lynn, and this is Metis. Would you like any assistance? I used to work at an infirmary in Tearia, I'd be happy to help if needed."[/color] She gave a little bow after the introduction.

He knew something was wrong as soon as that vile smel was in the air. On the way to the town, there were clear signs of battle and destruction abound, making Allard worry for the fate of the town. He was able to rest a bit easier as it came into view, looking fairly well in fact. It was empty in the streets, which to anyone else may be unusual, but for Allard, he knew what that meant. It was time for the strength competition, something he used to compete in frequently. Though, when they arrived closer to the event, it was a very sobering sight. people were still holding the small festival of coarse, however, attendence was a lot lower, the competition was scarce, and the medical center was overflowing with patients. [color=9ACD32]"What in the world happened here."[/color] he said to nobody in particular, already fairly certain of the answer. He shook his head, [color=9ACD32]"I'll be headed for tha stables as well and then ta the inn if anyone would like ta come along. Some mighty fine brews they used ta have there."[/color] When he arrived to the inn's bar and he noticed that Dremmick was already in the corner, apparently getting here a good bit before him and keeping to himself. He was greeted by a few of the waitresses and it wasn't until one of the waitresses introduced herself that he recognized who she was, his face lighting up. [color=9ACD32]"Little Raquel, is that really you lass?"[/color] He was actually surprised to see a familiar face, one of his daughter's old friends. It was weird, he knew that there must be people he would remember here, but somewhere in him didn't make that connection. As if he had believed that he would never see anyone from here again. Last time he remembered seeing her she was still a young teenage girl, maybe barely a teenager up to his knees, same age as Hilde. Has it really been that long? If she was here that must mean that at least some of the other farming families were here too. Eleven years....and he was actually back... the only one in his family that survived the raid eleven years ago.
