We've arrived at Falkreath, but the place wasn't as I hoped. It was gloomy and dreary,the air was heavy with an aura of death. I looked over to the huge graveyard and saw a group of guards and people gathering over there, was a funeral taking place? I walked over the the crowd and saw people gathering over a dug out hole, and there was no coffin in there. I asked a guard what's happening, and my answer was "Grave robbers, they've been hitting our town for weeks! We've tried tracking them down but we never found where they were hiding,"
"Were they after a specific thing?" asked Nilin. The guard replied "No, they weren't, even if they were I'm sure they're after everything in the coffin, they might as well have sold the bodies to necromancers!"
"What if the body snatchers were necromancers themselves? Maybe they're raising an army to attack Falkreath?" I said. I've seen this kind of thing before, bodies go missing and a month or so a huge swarm of undead attack the town or village. Falkreath is a small town, there's no way it could hold it's own against an undead invasion. That is if the body snatchers are necromancers of course.
The guard was silent for a while and he said, "I must tell this new theory to the Jarl! We must be prepared is such an attack is true!" after finishing the sentence he ran off to the Jarl's longhouse I turned to my friends and asked, "So...what do we do now?" Nilin tilted her head towards the inn and said "I'm going to the inn, I'll leave the detective work to you two. Come on Oboros, we're going to grab lunch,"
"Wait! You can't just bail on us!" said Hennah, she tried to grab Nilin's arm but I grabbed Hennah's first and said "She's right, it's been a long trip and we should have some rest, after all don't grave robbers hit when it's night time? When it's dark? We'll wait for them, if we can't catch them, we can always have Holdin find and follow their scent, and then deliver them to the guards, no killing unless needed,"
Hennah just sighed and said "Fine...but when do we get some real adventure?"
"Tonight Hennah, tonight," I said as I walked off to the inn, with Hennah and Hodlin following behind me. The inn was quite empty, except for a few guards on break and Nilin and Oboros having lunch at a table. I walked over to the waiter and said "I'll have salmon please,"
"Goat cheese for me," said Hennah. We walked over to Nilin's table and sat down, Nilin looked over and said "How goes the investigation?"
"We didn't even start," I said. Nilin shrugged and said "Aw well, let me guess, we're having a stake out tonight?" I nodded my head and said "We'l have Hodlin track down the grave robbers if we can't catch them, Oboros has to stay back, is they're necromancers they could send you back to the Gurre plains, and we'll don't want to go through the trouble of getting you back, so you're going to have to sit this one out,"
Oboros grumbled something undead and dishonorable and crossed his arms. He didn't like it, but he seemed to agree with me. At that moment the food arrived, I grabbed the utensils and said "Well, foods here! Eat up!"
I looked at my salmon and started to de-bone it, I looked over to Nilin's plate and my jaw almost dropped, she was sharing a whole mammoth snout with Oboros. I looked at my salmon, and it suddenly not looked so appetizing anymore... Nilin looked at me and asked "What?"
"Nothing..."
I sighed and took of my helmet and placed it on the table, and at that moment, when I took it off, Hennah looked at me and said "So that's how you look like! You're quite good looking..."
Great...she had to embarrass me. Nilin stifled a giggle, but she ended up laughing and almost choking on her food. Hennah gave a confused look and asked "What?"
"Lig's embarrassed! That's adorable!" said Nilin. I sighed and said "Ugh..."
"I'm sorry Lig, I didn't mean t-" started Hennah but she was cut off by me saying "Its okay...I get this alot from females..." Nilin rolled her eyes and said "Sure, alot..."
"Fine! More than one time!" I confessed. This is one of the reasons I like keeping my helmet on, I always end up embarrassing myself in front of women, at least that's what I think. The women laughed and Nilin said "Well...what do we do now? It's still along time before dark,"
"How about we go hunting near the town, we'll pop back here when to sun is going down," I suggested. Hennah and Nilin agreed, Hennah because she wanted to test her swords, which she never did and Nilin because it was part of her blood to. Oboros had to stay back, I'm pretty sure the animals would run away at the sight of a Breton or Havkin wielding a huge scythe in his hands, Hodlin had to stay back too, he would have made the hunt too easy.
When we were done with lunch, we grabbed our weapons and headed out into the the forest. Little that we know, something bad was going to happen.
Author's Note: Something bad...You people probably heard about the stories of great adventurers, said to watch the sky but end up getting mauled by mudcrabs right? What's going to happen is worst... I give you a hint, it's not afraid of ice magic.
