The DM: It is a cool day, with a fresh southeast breeze and a steady rain falling from a grey sky.
Lexent: "Well Vafrandir, Should we spend time looking into the other disappearances, or hurry straight back to the hole?"
Vafrandir: I don't mine popping over to Kristensen's. I suspect it was a crime of opportunity, but it won't hurt to let him know. Also, if we have opportunity to restore anything to these people for what they've lost, I think we should take it.
Lexent: "I agree. We should be able to compensate their losses out of what we find in that horrid pit, assuming we survive it. Though, I didn't want to make any promises before we can resolve the situation."
Lexent: I head toward Kristensen's property.
Vafrandir: I'll accompany. "True, we don't know what will be usable or useful to them. Or indeed if we'll even survive...that last fight was close."
The DM: I’m afraid it is just a crime of opportunity. The calf was with its mother when they took it. Kristensen will say it’s a pity, as his milk cow is five years old and he was going to butcher it next spring, when the calf began to give milk. Now he guesses he’ll be without a milk cow for at least a year, if he can convince the 5 yr. old to bear another calf. He wears your ears off with farmer talk.
Lexent: When it is polite to do so, we thank him and take our leave. How much of the day do we have remaining, and has the weather improved?
The DM: It's noon.
