I need my messenger Jadan to deliver a package that just arrived, but he’s nowhere to be found in the village.<BR><BR><PCNAME>, can you go ask {@LinkCreature:67#1008$$Okon} at the northern gate if he saw Jadan leave? Jadan? No, I haven't seen him pass by today.<BR><BR>Check with {@LinkCreature:67#1019#Kripa} over there, though, just to be sure. Say the name again...Jadan? Oh, sure. He and his boy came through a while ago, headed toward the <font color='#660000'>Vale of the Fang</font>. Said he had herbs to gather.<BR><BR>Now that you mention it, it's been quite some time. (It's a popori corpse lying next to some freshly pulled herbs. The fur makes it difficult to examine, but with some effort you discover that all of his blood has been drained.) He...what? That...that doesn't sound right. How does something like that happen?<BR><BR>You should let Paka know immediately. Jadan is dead? That's horrible. Strange things are happening lately, that's for sure. We should initiate a buddy system.<BR><BR>But wait, where's his son, Dipa?
