In the pouring rain a certain young Bardess was seen approaching Devlin and dropping three large, bloody bags at his feet. After a brief conversation Salyesi strutted down the road, with her Song touching the ears and lifting the sprits of all those she passed.

A black-winged figure clad in plate armour and wearing a (decidedly not bird-like mask) might be observed stopping by to check the notice. He departed swiftly for the nearby forest.

A short while later he returned, battered and bloodied, with a large and similarly-bloodied sack. He doesn't linger in Osthavn for long, instead leaving a small, rough note by the original poster.

Quote:

Devlin,

Couldn't really stick around but I'll try to find you later. Got proof, looking to collect payment.

- Serjo

Near the witching hour Bo walks the deserted streets of the village Osthavn. He stops to ask a man on a bench about the bounty on the birdmen. After a brief talk Bo lines up the mask for the man to see from the collection sack. Taking his payment he heads off towards the village pub the Tankard.

A young, chatty Hin is humming along the roads when she notices the wanted posters.

"Oooh. That's quite a sum but it's quite dangerous too!", she reacts as a whistle forms from her lips at the amount and the danger that the sign offers.

She heads to the direction north of Ostland while she holds the hilts of her blades.

After nearly a day of passing since the Hin left for the north, she pulls on a string dragging along with her 32 masks of birdmen. The smell coming from the masks causes a small uproar due to the smell emanating from the bloodied objects. She does not realize that the smell was coming from where the string in her hand is bound to and quickly checks the bottom of her shoes to check if she stepped of what she imagines could be Umberhulk droppings.

Finding nothing she tries to retrace her steps and soon realizes where the stench is actually coming from.

Deciding that dragging the smelly masks on the ground may cause havoc on the residents of Ostland, she heads back to the wanted posters and writes down the name of the author of the wanted sign.

Slowly, she tightens the string holding the unusual number of masks she has been dragging and places them on a box which she in turn places on her pack.

She looks back a bit from where she came from and searches for this Devlin Faramond who seems eager to give her the prize for her efforts.

Pylithien and her daughter Tempest could be seen leaving Osthavn, almost a mirror image of eachother. The two very similar looking women were seen going north and heading into a thicket with purpose. Anyone walking by would have seen feathers flying into the air and heard praises to Tempus, and the birdmen screaming as they died to the mightly blows from the warhammers of the Eriamyn clan.

Tempest and Pylthien emerge shortly after entering the thicket, both of them randomly picking feathers from their hair and armor as they walk back to Osthavn.

"You did very well my daughter" says Pylithien,

"Thank you mother, especially since I ended up with 34 and you only got 33" replies Tempest.

Laughingly Pylithien responds "Oh your never going to let me hear the end of that are you?"

With a big smile on Tempest's face she says "No not on your life, but I will give you a chance to redeem yourself with a race to Osthavn to turn them in if you like?"

"Sure" says Pylithien "on a count of 3?"

"Okay you count" replies Tempest quickly adjusting her gear preparing for a run.

"THREE!" Shouts Pylithien as she takes off running.

"Crap, I always fall for that" thinks Tempest as she darts after her mother and her insurmountable lead.

A black-masked Tiefling passing by takes a look at the noticeboard and his eyes show interest in the hunt for these so-called Birdmen.

He slides his gloved hands over the wanted sign's picture of the Birdmen as if trying to learn every detail of the target.

Soon enough, he departs and returns every few hours over the course of the next few days with a slowly growing bloody sack of what appears to be stained masks of the creatures known as Birdmen.

The sack, containing evidence of what is potentially 150,000 pieces of gold coin, becomes bigger as each day marks the return of the black-masked Tiefling.

More than a week has passed and the black-masked Tiefling is now seen hauling a large sack and inquiring about the whereabouts of the paymaster who holds the bounty for Birdmen.

He appears to be loitering around the entrance to the North Road but can be seen occasionally nursing a quiet drink while observing the locals.

He is informed the one name Devlin that put up the bounty has simply been more busy then usual. He can be found again in Osthavn. ((Poke me via PM when you are on))
