Wartable: Babysitting, the mission

[eternalsquire]

WHO: Kif, Amélie, Pamelia, Samouel.
WHAT: A boy has gone missing, and it's up to Kif and the Healers (a really obscure band, you probably haven't heard of them) to save the day OR DIE TRYING.
WHEN: Haring 2 and for a few days around then
WHERE: The Arling of West Hills
NOTES: Possibly some injuries? They're not actually going to die. Probably.

Dangerously close to the Fallow Mire (and by dangerous we mean sometimes there's a stiff wind that blows a stench into the area that may or may not actually be from the Mire BUT IT SMELLS BAD) lies a plot of land ruled by an increasingly ill Arl Gallagher Wulff, run by his daughter, Izot, and her husband, Lord Niall Packton, who give lip-service approval to the Inquisition while not giving permission to it to cross their lands, or any other form of support.

When Izot's only son goes missing, though, there's an opportunity to change matters around if they can find the boy in time.

Hysterical mother and a curious book

[el_tybs]

Being one of the humans in the group, Sam was left with talking with the family - the mother to be more precise. He had been hopeful that doing so would have been helpful, but instead the mage found himself mentally being glad that the woman had not registered that he was a mage - it had to be how he dressed and carried a 'sword' instead of a staff - and just nodding his head slowly as the woman talked. More like sobbed. She was insistent that this was the work of mages and their magic, and any other line of questioning ended up with the woman becoming hysterical and falling to her knees in prayer.

When Izot became inconsolable, demanding to be left alone, Sam inquired about checking the boy's room again. The permission was given swiftly, as an after thought really, but at least he no longer had to listen to the mother's rantings.

Later on Sam could be found checking Gareth's room, looking over a couple books that had been left on the boy's desk. One book was tattered with several bookmarks in it's pages - an account of Genitivi's travels if someone asks - and other book about maladies.

This is Pamelia's second time in the room, but she'd not bothered much with the books before; the title of one of them catches her eyes, however, and she frowns as she approaches the desk.

"What is he doing with this one?"

"Hm?" Looking up from where he's flipped to one particular dog-ear marked page, Sam turns to Pamelia then looks back down at the books.

"Which one? The one on maladies or Brother Genitivi? Either one is pretty heavy reading for a kid his age, but it seems like he was dedicated." All the bookmarks and notes proved that.
