An Old Family Secret
"Halt! Who goes?!" The voice comes from a small guard tower adjacent to the library.

Tuq calls out in a loud a voice as he can muster, "It's Chef, Jeff - the artist formerly known as Korwin, Lumenor and us. We found Wella!"

"Well so much for stealth," Chef mutters at whisper level. He then steps into the light (what time is it?), as to be more easily identified. "It is true. We have returned victorious from the stinking goblin hive."

"Alright, thanks buddy, " Chef answers the guard with a smile. He turns to the group whispering, "The duke is here? Something doesn't smell right. Tuq and Emilian feel like scouting out the south gate? When we enter, I suggest Emil stay hidden outside the gates, just in case."

Tuq looks at Chef with surprise, "You think so? Maybe the Duke is here because the village got burned halfway to the ground, goblins in metal machines massacred the town guard and the fort was nearly taken. We saved the town, destroyed the goblins' base and rescued this child. I am expecting a parade and ribbons!"

Is this the raven's observation, or lumenor seeing through its eyes?

His own observation. The raven can speak common, however!
"A raven familiar can speak one language of its master's choice as a supernatural ability."

The Raven quoth that most guards are watching the surrounding lands. Some, however, are just watching the tower.

Re: An Old Family Secret
Ila lifts her nose a bit higher and sniffs the air. Her fur bristles and she growls in a low steady tone to warn of danger.
"What's the matter? You smell something girl?"
Tuq halts the party by hopping off Ila and pretending to adjust his saddle straps. With his back to the guards, he says in a low voice, "Cookie might be right, Ila smells unfamiliar scents inside.

Red-eyed Raven glides down and lands atop Lumneor's shield. "Curious, the tower." he croaks. "Guards keeping in, maybe not out? Caution!"
He then flies back into the air and resumes his aerial patrol...
Lumenor keeps his eyes alight for trouble...

Re: An Old Family Secret
As the party reaches the gate, they are met by a young officer and an out of breath squad of pikemen. None are familiar faces.
"They said you'd gone after the girl; I'm amazed you found her. Those... Things... They're merciless." The young Captain then shuffles uncomfortably. "You'll have to surrender your weapons here. Duke's orders; they'll be in the armory for you if you have duty... Or if... We're uh... Attacked." He winces at that statement. "You can take the lass to her mother, but then you're to report to the Duke."

Re: An Old Family Secret
DM: Previous to approaching the south gate, Chef has already made a deal with Emilian. The rogue agrees to stay hiding in the woods while the rest of the party goes inside.
That night, at around midnight, Chef will deliver a message over the wall (basically, hurling a stone with a note tied to it) at the south east corner. Emilian knows, that if the note is not delivered (or found), then something is up. It's up to him to find out what. This includes sneaking inside, of course.
Chef hands over his weapons without complaint. "I am the head chef and loyal servant of the squire. I am happy to serve the duke, perhaps on patrol or in the kitchen."

Re: An Old Family Secret
Ila sniffs the guards to capture their scent. She snorts disapprovingly.
Tuq says in a friendly tone, "Greetings Captain! Glad to see some reinforcements arrived for Starfell. Now, be a good lad and go fetch Wella's family for us. We will wait here." Tuq makes no motion to surrender his weapons or enter Starfell.
Tuq looks about earnestly, then to one of the other pikemen, as casually as possible, "Where is Marco? After the fight, he bet me 5 quid that we wouldn't make it back with Wella before sunrise. I want him to see Wella before her family arrives, haha!"

Re: An Old Family Secret
The soldiers all look pretty disciplined. Duke's personal guard; not like the squire's bumpkins.
"This is all going to work out better if you all just come in and talk to the Duke. We're all on the same side here."

Wella looks uncertain; the town looks different.
"I can give you an escort, but lets get this done quickly. No free movement until The Duke says so. The men need to be back on the walls soon."

"Orders are orders. We'll help you find the girl's mother." He motions, and the gate opens. "Your weapons, please..." To Korwin.
Most of the homes were outside the new fortifications. Wella's mother resides in a large utilitarian hostel. It is neat, but spartan. Though the mood is somber here, mom perks up at the sight of Wella. "Wella? Wella!"

Mother obliges, "The valley is under seige. The Duke came right after you left saying the library was a threat. He wanted to raze it. The squire went into the library under protest two days ago and hasn't returned. The Duke declared Martial law..."
"Ma'am you need to stop..."
"No, Captain, YOU need to TELL them the truth. These brave men are exactly the ones you need to sort this matter out. We shouldn't be squabbling while those THINGS are out there."
"The Duke..."
"Your Duke, boy, is not thinking clearly. He is more concerned about his authority than he is about solutions!"
"But what if..."

Lumneor breaks into a wide smile, and can hardly contain his glee!
"I agree that the library should be burned down. We must reduce all that is bound in the sins of our past mistakes to ash - so it may be reborn again in holy light. Is the Duke in agreement on this? He sees clearly that we must burn away the all the filth that stands between us and our rebirth?"

"Bah!" spits Chef and proceeds to cuss at length in draconic. The sky darkens for a moment.
He catches his breath. "Charred is a delicate, acquired taste, my friend Lumenor. Much better to me is the thought of charred eggplant with tahini spread, than seeing priceless tomes reduced to ash. I've learned much from the squire's private cookbook collection. He had recipes from all over the known world. Surely madam, that section of the library will be spared?!"

Tuq assures the woman, "It's not the Captain's fault, he is just following orders. I am confident that he has the honor to only follow legal and just commands. The Duke hasn't burned the Squire and his men alive, so he is clearly rational, if perhaps mis-guided."
Tuq suggests, "Let's go talk to the Duke. Since we are "local heroes" maybe we can reason with the squire in such a way that everyone is happy and peace is restored to Starfell."

Re: An Old Family Secret
You arrive at the fort without fanfare and are ushered in without pleasantries. The Duke has taken over the squires offices. As you enter, he is dictating to a scribe:
"...conscrpts to the front, but beware your flanks. We have reason to believe the old towers have something to do with it. You should fortify against them and maintain a watch." He ignores your entrance until his statement is finished.

Chef whiffs the air. He has learned that much can be told from the aroma of a place. What smells permeate the keep? How have the soldiers been eating?
If Chef had been there, the scent of saffron and garlic, and baking loaves would fill one's olfactories as they wander thru.
