Trapping food

Well, I rose early this morning to begin talking to the locals about their depleted fishstocks. Iollan was right, they are angry! Finn Stringer took me to one side and spoke to me about the changes.

As we had spoken in the past, and he was aware of my meeting with the Baldrake, he thought it only fair to warn me of the feelings the fishermen had towards the Baldrake. He took me North from the quayside, and into the fields were I could see men standing in the fields with their fishing nets. I had mist this unusual site yesterday due to the rolling mists.

As I stood with Finn, he explained to me that this was what the fishermen were reduced to - throwing their nets in the meadows trying to catch either bird or rodent. They were devasted at their loss of fish, and were seeking revenge against the Baldrake.

I begged Finn to allow me to visit the Isle and attempt to speak to the creature for myself. I just cannot believe that after helping the creature, it would resort to this. It seemed to me that it was a calm creature, only aggresive when we were threatening its clutch of eggs.

Back at the tavern, I settled for the evening ready to travel to Roper's Isle in the morning and a meeting with the Baldrake.
