Darius,
I thank you for the information you bring. I am sure that those that attacked my Boy will certainly wish they hadn't after Tanza has had a little chat with them. I know she has been moderating her diet of late but what harm can a little group of, well, to be frank, dead men walking do? I won't tell anyone
This being the case I am inclined to acquiesce to your request. For wine. There will a flagon put aside for you at the Tavern. Please do make sure your descriptions of the offenders are accurate, it's hard to say sorry to someone after they've been digested!
I am sad to hear of Abigail's ill health, I have a potion that will help her. There will be no charge, let's just put it on your tab shall we?

Tanza, my itchiness has subsided! Do let me know if you want some company this eve, it sounds like fun! And I hear Nydas has found me a replacement, I do hope he is as....sturdy as my own. Speaking of which, Mrs West is sooooo tedious, I think I'll leave him with her for a while. Let's visit though, I feel the need to make a point.

What a delight, I must confess
Tonight I dine with Mrs West
In expectation of a feast
For she has promised spit-roast beast.

She has not said what kind of critter
No matter, her food is never bitter
A fine evening is in store
On my return, I'll tell you more.

Ah Tanza, Waycyber and Elvira, I saw you earlier gathered around the table in the corner of the tavern discussing the missing boy. I know very little about Mrs West, and have never met Old Man Willow, although I do know a Willow, perhaps that is his daughter?

All I know is that I saw the unfortunate boy being beaten... Elvira, if he survived the attack then he was very lucky, Waycyber perhaps helped someone, that being his nature, now that Zarko has left him. Sibrwd Rhai? Not familiar with them, as a seeker of knowledge, I am keen to know more. Please enlighten me further when you have the time, you can always find me at the card table, playing a hand or two with Korben, Vask, Morten and Tax Toolly, as I'm a keen gambler.

Elvira, I fear if your boy fled into Tanza's claws, dripping with blood as he was, how could she resist and not eat the boy? I believe Tanza is quite misunderstood sometimes, but her eating habits don't appeal to me as I am a vegetarian.

I can merely identify some of the gang by their Wanted pictures. There were at least six brigands and a man with a large ginger beard was leading the attack. Thank you Elvira, I shall now make merry with the wine you have left for me to sup. As for the silver tobran, did we not have a deal agreed? I await my financial reward for information given... Potions of Healing, there could be great profit in such things. Perhaps you could mix me some as a further thanks for the help that I have given? I know many sick and desperate people who would pay a small fortune for such concoctions!

The Sibrwd Rhai, or Whispering Ones, are demons of the lower orders. They have the power to read and implant thoughts in the form of words and images. They have a limited understanding of the future.

Using these abilities alone, they can make their victims believe they can read minds, see into the future, and gain arcane knowledge. Mind reading, for instance, is when they read one mind and implant the thought in another.

Their aim is to control, isolate and manipulate so their victims distrust everyone except them. However, they cannot resist increasing control, with the inevitable result of madness.
