WHO || Rocky, Thea, Cassie, Deryn, Baal
WHAT || The Knights investigate a series of bugbear raids on a village
WHERE || Stenskind, Denmark
WHEN || Early Summer 2017
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.

[ The quiet village of Stenskind is on edge when the Knights arrive. It has a small town vibe, but isn't without its modern amenities. However, there are visible signs of recent trouble - not a lot of people out and about, some signs of burned buildings, traffic signs bent over or pulled out by the roots. Danish police walk the streets, keeping an eye out, and keeping a close eye on the forest line at the village's edge. ]

[ there's actually several bars around, ranging from the seedy to the cheerful tavern looking kind of place ]

[the seedy one of course. He used to be a pirate after all]

[theshadowspeaks]

[ Deryn follows along closely.]

[behindcloseddoors]

[ seedy bar it is! the place is really damn dark, with only a few foggy tiny slits of windows. the place is steadily populated enough with apparent locals and regulars, who don't even look up when the door opens. it's mostly men, mostly middle-aged or older. ]

[theshadowspeaks]

[ Moving along close behind Baal, Deryn peered around the room, while listening for anything interesting being said. (Listen Check: 15) ]

[behindcloseddoors]

[ a lot of it is in the local tongue, but he does hear two old salts throw out 'bugbear' in english, the only word that stands out that he understands ]

[withasouvenir]

[ cool cool cool thea feels out of place here and as such she sticks close to cassie because clearly the young women should team up. she doesn't catch the bugbear comment, alas. ]

[ghostmagnet]

[ Cassie is all about sticking close to Thea. This feels like the start of a campy horror movie and she's not about it. Cassie also misses the bugbear comment, but is 100% in support of not sticking around this place super long. ]

[well sorry ladies, because Baal is going to head for the bar and order a beer, because you know, blending in helps keep people from staring, and then looks at the rest of them]

What does everyone want?

[withasouvenir]

I'm fine, [ thea chirps, waving her hand dismissively. none for her thank u. she peers around looking for anything out of place. (spot 18) ]

[behindcloseddoors]

[ there's nothing much to see, unfortunately. everyone seems to be just enjoying their drinks and in quiet conversation ]

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Deryn caught the few mentions of Bugbear and moved from Baal to move over to the old salt's table, keeping his hoodie up to keep how pale he is hidden, speaking in his best danish. ]

Excuse me, may I ask about the bugbears?

[behindcloseddoors]

Damn things. [ one man instantly grumbles ] Can't stay on their own land. Animals.

[byyourleave]

[Baal will just sit back then, keeping his back to the bar and sipping his drink, keeping his eyes and ears open]

[ to herself: ] Wynn needs to have a language professor on staff...
