Currently in one of the largest towns, Endora, centrally located on the island our band of adventurers is a gathering of the elite of the schools, training halls, the self-taught, and other groups brought together to protect the island.  They have been called together for the purpose of a small crisis that seems to be spreading over the island.  The islanders are worried about it becoming a larger problem and want to act quickly to put an end to it.
Children around the island have been disappearing from villages and towns in small groups all around the main island and some from the surrounding islands.  The occasional child or caravan missing is not uncommon with the presence of monsters on the island but this seems too widespread and close together to just be coincidence.  So instead of just sending adventurers out individually it was decided to bring in the best to go as a group and find what is happening.  This party is consisted of those selected elite and have been summoned to the town to see what they can do to help. 
You are in the middle of the town, around you are homes and shops, and you can hear the noisy (but not so much it makes it hard to speak) bustle of townsfolk going about daily business.  You see some spot and point to neighbors and friends as they realize that this is the group brought to solve this mystery.  You have an audience with one of the larger landowners on the island, Jaxus Ridale, who has 3 of his own children missing.  You are a short walk into the town, and can see past the main market street the rather large and luxurious looking home of Jaxus.  What will you do?

OOC:  Everyone consider yourselves introduced and equipped and ready to go right now.  You have already gathered supplies and things like that.  And Jaxus has offered to put you all up in his house seeing as how he called the band together, free of charge.

Belthan makes his way towards Jaxus’ house with a brisk pace.

“Lets keep up the pace, we have to get to the bottom of things before any more kids go missing.”

OOC: Are we already together with the other characters?
Do we already have room and board here?

Erick stows his greataxe on his back and grunts, “I agree. The sooner we start this investigation, the sooner I get to choppin’.” He steps in line with Belthan.

Wynter walks up in line with Belthan and Erick, looks at the nearest person near him with a scowl on his face, and states in a rather ominous tone, “What the hell you lookin’ at? Yeah, I got horns, so what? Everybody does, its just that mine show all the time.”

Wynter turns his head to look at Belthan and Erick, “What? It’s the truth. And I’m tired of bein’ looked at like a freak show. That’s why I blow $#!t up, so it can’t do that no more. Are we goin’ or what? I’m bored of this place already.”

Mayamei looks around nervously. “Why everyone is looking at us like that? You got horns maybe Wynter but i got fur and long tooths… i hope they dont think i ate their kids… But i wonder if that Jaxus have really something new to tell us.”

Mayamei touch her katana’s sheathed on her back to recomfort herself. Talking to herself softly “Just hold on a bit longuer Hinata, i’m coming to save you.”

“They look at you and see a freak show, something that is different from them to be gawked at and talked about under their breaths so that it seems somewhat right to do so because you can’t hear them,” says Wynter as he turns his head to look at Mayamei. “When they look at me, they see evil incarnate, something that reminds them of the countless atrocities my ancestors committed millennia ago. No matter what I do, what I say, or how much I try, that’s all they’ll see.”

As he turns his head to face forward once more, Wynter leans over to Mayamei and whispers, “Besides, if something happens in this town and it comes down to you and me, who do you think the first one they’ll try to lynch is? Hatred trumps freaks. But if they do happen to get me, I suggest you run.”

As he straightens himself, Wynter asks “So, where is this Jaxus fellow?”

"Appears he is at the other end of this market.” states Nicric as he points ahead.  “I wonder what grub this guy has, I haven’t eaten anything but berries and trail rations for the past week.”

“Gald I am in a bunch eager for battle.  Too bad I am the one that has to bandage you up when the chopping goes wrong.  You should all try to keep in mind I am only one man and that I too want to bust some skulls.” Nicric chuckles out loud and prods Erick with his elbow.

"Now now, we ain’t planning to get wounded, I tell you that. We just keep our heads cool and watch each others’ backs if we have to fight.”

"Don’t worry i am not looking for a fight in this town. Harming villagers is not in my way of see things. Lets just hurry and meet with Jaxus and not waste our time about how we are look at.”

"I would prefer if we could complete this portion of our task quickly. Cities, and other great amounts of social interaction are foreign and awkward. I would rather be swinging my axe into something that it needs to be swung into.”

"Heyyy there”, a tall, very slender elf says as he slinks into the scene with catlike grace. He’s dressed in smart clothing - boots, dark blue trousers, light red button-up shirt - covered in leather armor, and keeps his brown hair short, as long as elves go anyway.

“Isn’t that a gung-ho group! So, you’re in on the job, right?” He eyes the group carefully as he circles around them. “That’s good. Say what, sounds like you guys are gonna need a level head to keep you in check.” He grins at his own pretentiousness. “Besides, I could really use some fresh air right now. Some challenge and such, as my ol’ grandmother said, rolling stones gather no moss.”

“So, are we seeing this Jaxus fellow or what? I’m growing bored already. By the way, I’m Galtrik. I’m sure you’ll be hearing this name again, though I only hope it’s not preceded by the word ‘seize’...”

"Galtrik huh? And why would it be preceded with ‘seize’?… And by the way its an investigation and rescue team, not a simple ‘job’, childs are the target its not every day work” Say Mayamei with an unpleased look.

“Sorry my sister and two other child of my village have been aducted… I can’t take this matter lightly. You all like good people, even you Wynter, i just want to say thank you for coming along to investigate that mysteries. But lets hurry please.” Says Mayamei bowing her head to everyone, then heading toward Jaxus house at a faster pace.

"All right, don’t get your pants in a twist. ‘Job’ is shorter than ‘investigation and rescue team’, that’s all, but I can use the latter if it’s such a big deal to you. And as for the ‘seize Galtrik’ part, I think there’s no reason they’d be saying that, so I’m just hoping it stays that way...” He talks as he briskly walks with the group in search of Jaxus.

Walking up to Galtrik, Wynter drapes his arm over the elf’s shoulders and says, “Galtrik, is it? You seem a little, um ... happy ... don’t you? See, I have no idea where here is. So what else am I gonna do? One minute I’m fighting a devil and the next I’m on a beach. Can’t get more f’d up than that. Now, let’s go see if this Jaxus fellow can fit you for a padded helmet, hmmmm?

Wynter removes his arm and continues toward Jaxus’s house.

Belthan walks along with the group with a brisk pace.
He seems to be geared up for a long haul. He is carrying a backpack full of neatly packed supplies and his gear is very tidy and organized. He is carrying a big sword on his back and a shield is hanging from his pack. A strange looking wand is hanging from a loop in his belt.

Galtrik shrugs at Wynter’s words. “Well, what can I say? Lose your rings, keep your fingers, as the saying goes. Your situation is never so bad that you can’t make it worse by being all sorry for yourself. I prefer to think that forward is the only way to go.”
