(Nothing of Ana's is missing.)
Taylor steps up before his uncle or cousin can speak, seeming to take charge of the situation.
"They ain't been around for very long. They just recently come and started demanding money or slaves. First time all the towns were able to pay 'xept Pinston. They took 'bout six or seven boys and four innocent girls, them poor girls. Chained 'em up and took 'em away."
"Don't know if they got a speciffic price or anything. You just show 'em money, and if it's enough to their liking, they take it and let you know they're gonna be back to collect again."
"Uncle Jasper thinks they working with some slavers across the mountains, gettin' paid good for bringing people over and still gettin' paid good from us even if they don't."
"Last time Onyx came with 'bout eight orcs at his side, had some more by the cart too. He always comes to the bigger places, like this town, but sends some of the others on their own to the smaller places cause they ain't nothin' to worry about."
"Onyx got himself some armor like yours," Taylor points a finger at Ana's chainshirt. "Got himself a pretty big axe too and I don't doubt he knows how to use it. That's what's got people so scared."
"Them others, I could definately bring 'em down but hasn't been no one else who wanted to 'till you all come along. Wear studded leather and carry around falchions and longspears."
"Last time they was around I snuk out and followed and watched, that's how I know. They never even saw me."
He turns to his uncle, seeming to realize that it might have been a mistake to admit this in front of the man, but he continues on anyway before Jasper can say anything.
"I'm gonna fight 'em if I gotta, but I know we need to make a plan first," Taylor says to Ana when she mentions that he needn't fight, "So what are we gonna need to do?"
Jade turns to face the group, wiping tears from her eyes. She speaks, her voice still a bit choked up.
"We have-we have a cellar beneath the inn. And over at the town hall there's some rooms belowground. Nothing really designed to hold alot of people, but if we've gotta, we can. Do you really think we can stop the orcs from doing this without getting anyone hurt?"
She looks at the group with wide eyes, trying to claim some little bit of hope that this could actually be accomplished.
Edrianna speaks up on behalf of the group's credibility
"You needn't worry Jade, these four are amongst the most capable. They will handle this terrible situation."
Marlowe nods his agreement and then turns to address the young adventuring students, speaking on behalf of Edrianna and himself.
"If there is anything you will need from us, it is yours."
