Deciding there is clearly something happening in town you try to prize some information from the inhabitants of the Inn. A few give you strasnge looks, suprised that a stranger is suddenly conversing eith them. However a few well placed compliments and a round of drinks later and Saranac is laughing and joking with a man named Illius, who indroduces himself as part of the town miltia.
"You're new here? We dont get many adventurers 'round this way...certainly none that stay more than a day or so. You wanna know whats going on here? Nothing much is the answer. Nothing too much of interst 'round these parts anymore'course back a few years ago we was the centre of attention....now that is a story! Anyways, a while back these cultist built a vast temple that worshipped the four elements themselves. The Temple of Elemental Evil it was called. Of course good clashed with evil and evil lost....or so we thought. Anyway a few years back people started to gather at this temple again....buggers trying to resurrect the cult. Anyways, Elmo, his brother Otis (Cuthbert preserve his soul) and a few clerics from the Church of St Cuthbert got together with some adventurers andd cleaned the place out. We check it from time to time but theres not much going on to be honest. Bandits have been known to use the temple ruins as a staging post and the old moat house a few miles out of town is checked by Elmo....he still manages to find........er......things down there. Cuthbert only knows where they come from. Anyways i have to dash....the missus will be exppectin' me home anytime soon. Evenin'" And with that, Illius wanders off into the night
{with the weather still rather poor we'll fast forward to the next day unless anyone else want to continue their discussions}

Slipping out at first light to commune with some more honest inhabitants you speak with with a badger foraging in the twiglight before sunrise. He is intially surpised by your advances but soon calms and relays what little he knows. No bad humans from outside but he doesnt stray far from his set by a clump of woodland on the east side of Hommlet. Perhaps a more broader sweep of the area can be made later?
Everyone
After a light breakfast you are rested and recovered to a fashion from your journey. Will you expore Hommlet some more or carry on questioning the populace or something else?[rand=2524672948869583992394334002009353417220762533888792999409782501]
