Legend
While walking along the outskirts of Altberg, you hear the faint sound of footsteps behind you, this is followed by a calm voice.
"Hi friend."
You turn around and see two men in simple traveler's clothing, but you know instinctively that these are no simple travelers, just as they know you aren't some simple peasant.
"You really should be more aware of your surroundings, brother. We could've easily slit your throat and nobody would've been the wiser." One of them says.
"Huh, I heard you coming, before you even opened your mouth."
"Hmm, well I guess we shall have to be more careful in the future then. I couldn't help notice that the peasants of this little backwater are quite busy building. What's going on?"
"There was an orc attack."
"Ah I see. Were you involved?"
"Yeah, I got stuck in it, but I survived obviously."
"Obviously. But then you do have the knack for survival. Just like back in Holgard eh?"
"Uh huh. So what the hell's your name and what do you want?"
This bluntness causes the speaking man to smile before continuing.
"To the point as usual. Very well. My name is Dimitri. I am Falcon's replacement for this area. So in effect I am your superior. But don't worry; there is no need for formalities."
"O ..kaaay."
"Anyway I've heard of your actions, so you are not unfamiliar to me. The Claw is looking to get its presence back into Holgard. In fact two of our number already passed through this way. Heard they had a plan to set up a base in a nearby village or something. It's obvious that they didn't think that idiotic plan through given that this place was hit by an orc attack. You didn't happen to see them did you?"
