Worrying News

I have wandered around the town today talking to traders and residents in an attempt to find out  more about Yermaj. My initial questions were not received well. It seems that he upset a lot of people around Kinrew before disappearing owning a lot of them drouts.

I joined Anleim for lunch in The Enchanted Window, and following out meal we began talking to the landlord. He was very reluctant to tell us much at first, until we reassured him that we were not friends of "that diabolical man".

Nichoc told us that Yermej had stayed in the tavern for a short while, and spent most days out and about wandering around the coastal margins. We discovered that although he was reluctant to speak to the locals, he seemed to meet with strange people most evenings. These meetings took place at the entrance to the town but, unknown to Yermej, the gate watchman saw several of them.

His description of Yermej's contacts sent a shiver down both Anleim and my own spines, as it seemed like Yermej was in fact meeting with what sounded very much like a Goblin. Not since the War of All Peoples has this race been seen around Methtintdour, as it was presumed that they all perished in the fighting.

Hearing that a wizard was in discussions with a race of creatures that were detested across the lands has caused us even more concern. What is Yermej up to that requires his partnership with untrustworthy and violent Goblins?
