*Corky Embercrackle walks into the Leringard Inn carrying a duffle bag that is soaking at the bottom and leaking some kind of blue ooze onto the floor as he makes his way to the bar. He plops the bag on to the bar top with a "squish":
Where's Skinny Ken? Me and my brothers have taken care of the Eyeball problem in Whitehorn! Gromak the Barbarian Gnome, Quenton the Halfling Tracker Extrordinaire and Ryubi the Evervigilant Gnome have come to your aid. The various eyeball and eyeball stalks in this bag are proof of our task.
Unfortunately Benny could not be rescued alive. His body was found naked and it looked to have been probed by all means abominal. We have taken his lifeless body to the Healers in Whitehorn in hopes they can perform a miracle.
Ryubi sacraficed himself in the tedious task of investigating a chest we found. The trap on the chest was above his pay grade and we had to meet him later in Center. His bravery and courage will be written in gnomish books for decades to come. The items we found in the chest were of top notch quality and a just reward.
Send word for Skinny Ken. We'll be spending a few nights here at the Inn to recover from all the magic and negative energy damage the eyeballs cast our way. If any more work is needed, you know who to call.
