As with most farms food is on a need to have basis and at the time of the need. So a chicken or hog may be butchered for the time. But the party does not wish to intrude so only has tea, biscuits, bread, cheese and some salted dry meats. Z'leyra almost offers to cook but realizes that a female wouldn't like another female in her kitchen. During the time Niv leaves and comes back often. He spends time with his boys to dictate orders on the day's chores. At times he whispers privately with them in very hushed tones. At one point Squirt runs from Raban and enters the barn in some chase of something it saw. Raban enters the empty barn and looks around for the animal. Only to find him about 10 minutes later chasing a small gray mouse. Eventually Niv returns to the house. "I hope you are all sated? You are free to take some cheese and biscuits if need be. I think it is time we move to town?" [Time: 8:47am] Fremea still seething walks out of the farmhouse. But there is a very small glint of a smile on her face that quickly fades. She would like to slap the man for touching her but she is happy with her time in the house. Earlier when no one was looking she placed some very hot powder in the mix of flour. So the next time some baking is done he Niv may need a mug or bucket of water for salvation. Course it is best not to hurt the kids. So she quietly approaches the youngest and tells him that Niv was of great use. She gives him a copper coin. She asks if his mother could bake him a nice cake just for him in appreciation? The boy looks confused but nods a bit distracted by the sudden coin in his hand now burning a hole in his quest for spending it. Niv walks to his horse a nice riding horse of low quality but he checks the saddle. "I am sorry I don't have any more horses here. I have a couple old farm horses that might not last in hard travel. In the city you should find plenty." "I will ride ahead and start the quest on finding the info you asked for. We can meet at 1 or so at the tavern I mentioned earlier." He points south and a bit west. "So take that path then it will come to a dirt road and take it south all the way to the city. It is well traveled so can't miss the city. Shouldn't take too long." Niv mounts up and looks the party over. He considers things a few moments. He turns to look down at Fremea who is staring away from him. "I hope you find your parents. Family life is important to folks here in Donara." He turns the horse to the south. "More important than the king and country in some places." He gives a quick salute to the party and rides off. Fremea almost feels sorry for the guy after he says those words but almost is not close enough to change his fate. Smiling a bit now she walks toward the south. She would prefer to fly and could be there in no time. But these disguises ruin that. [Time: 8:52am] The way south is mostly flat plains but there are light woods here and there. The party sees Niv riding south and now is about 700 feet ahead of them. Suddenly the man diverts eastward turning his horse past some trees and away from view due to the light woods near that area. Raban speaks out, "sorry about falling through the silo. Some times the power is out of my control. I noticed in his barn a secret area so maybe the guy isn't fully out of the game?" Actions? Comments? Next Update....Friday... GM: Was hoping to have more posting. But I guess folks are busy. We have a holiday so may not have much posting this week. So we'll play it by ear if a update will be out for Friday or not. GM: Info to seek - Reminder for me mainly * Party to find stables * Niv to get info on Admiral, Ozon, Gambling halls * Moneylenders before Stables * Anything else to do?
