After hearing about the wolf attack The Beard felt his calling to lend a healing hand. As he approaches the gate, he dusts off his pants, pulls his hood from his head, and nods approvingly at the opportunities that await him. Onlookers noticing the dwarf who stands at 5'6" and stout Brown hair and odd blue eyes which sit behind some glasses.
"So this is it. A new place to call home, and continue the studies of medicine. The Beard isn't sure what to expect, best keep an eye open. Don't want to have to deal with any unkind creatures or people. Unless there is more undead... A nice swift healing spell puts that to bed."
The dwarf glances up and checks the sun's location.
"Excellent, it would be a great time to eat, but there is time for that once inside."
Just then, the dwarf twists his head to the side, seeing a man approach him.

Walker watches with interest and the tallest dwarf he has ever seen approaches the town gates. He was making his rounds around the perimiter when he noticed the dwarf. He intended to wait for the dwarf to approach, but the dwarf seems to be in deep thought and stands there for some tome, watching the town. Walker gets impatient and approaches. He is adornes in a black and blue tabbard, with nice shiny plaitmail legs and sevrral pieces of plate on his arms. His tabbard seems bulky, and it is a safe bet that it covers yet more plate. He has a sword at his hip and a shield draped over his back. "Hello there" walker says with a friendly smile when he is still a good distance. My name is Squire Walker Willis of Drakemyre, Sheriff of Shallowfort. Are you well? Do you need help? Or are you a merchant here to sell your wares at the frontier town everyone has hears so much about."

"Ah, Sheriff, greetings. Yes, all is well on this end. The Beard heard about the wolf attacks, and figured that bringing some healing magic and potions could aid as well as some morale boosting as that can always be helpful. A friend in need, they say..." The Beard looks the Sheriff over and giving a nod of approval on first impression. " How wells the town in the wake of the events? Are healing services desired? Any help The Beard can provide will be done. The Beard has been looking for a settlement and this just might be it

"Healing is always welcome here on the frontier, and there is no cap to moral. Let me be the first to welcome you to the himble town of shallowford." Walker approaches and offers his hand in greeting.

After a few aquward moments, Walker puts his hand down. "oook, well, let me show you in." He heads to the gate, knocks 'random knocking pattern a' and then waits. after a moment he signs and just opens the gate himself. "is an awesome entrance to much to ask for." he says under his breath. after a moment, the gate doors are swung wide and walker gestures for the dwarf to follow him inside.

The Beard looks around as the gate opens. The dwarf casually walks inside, following Walker.
"So, The Beard was wondering, what exactly happened with the whole wolf situation. Would prefer a first persons telling, rather than whisper gossip. But that will not change my offer of my services. The Beard just wants to know what he be getting into."

Walker pauses for a few moments before continuing. "Well, the cliff notes is that a warewolf master got his power by cheating, thus he has no idea how to controle it. And wether intentional or unintentional he is biting things, creatong a small pack. The other, already established packs are very mad about this, as a pack of feral warewolfs will ruin all that they have beem striving for. So things are coming to a head, because if the warewolf packs wage war, than the aklecium army will get involved and be forced to fight on yet another front, which they can not afford." "Were here," walker says as he motions to a small building that has been renovated to serve as a tavern "the tavern, the gathering place of all adventeurors"

Your not wrong in that really short message, but the problem comes down to wgat to do with the uncontrolled weres? If we go after the fae fir his contract, you can gurantee it's gonna require more folks getting more deals. Then you have the issue if wgat happens if we can't find them, since we are on the fae bad list. What can we do, cause I know pearl is a tough fighter with out the transform. If it continues to spread, then all are at risk abd the army will have to start slaying. I hate to say this, but this is a no win situation.

Walker turns to griff, who was behind the gate and had gone unnoticed. Walker thinks for a moment that he purposly didnt open the gate. Bit after shaking that line of thought from his mind, replys.
"Yes, but this is why it has been arainged to discus this matter in a more private setting at the next market day, as was agreed by multiple partys, yours included."

"With all of this going on, what is the town's leadership doing with this matter? Hopefully not sitting idly by. The Beard thinks solid leadership is a solid foundation."
The dwarf nods proudly to himself feeling profound at The Beard's statement Looking to Griff after a moment and back to Walker not really sure who the question was directed to.

Ahh friend dwarf, the leadership had recently gone through a change. We have a new mayor. Mayor Trilock or some call him mayor snake face.... ok me .... i call him snake face. So he has been a mayor a short time after the list mayor was murdered. I have been in the military barely longer than he has been mayor. Abd or sheriff here has been sheriff for a few days now. So it's kinda hard to see where all of it lies.

"Ahh, so that is how it is... The Beard is not a fan of specie-ism. Have you said that to the Mayor's face, or just behind his back? Do you also believe that the origin of the scavenger is unnatural, as well? Your kind sickens The Beard. How does one of the military carry such low bearing. Should you not try and remain above reproach.. set the example?"
The dwarf shrugs his shoulders turning back to Walker.
"Is this how most of the folk here are? That behavior is not what The Beard signed up for."

Walker is somewhat in shock. This dwarf has spunk. He is unsure if it was ment as an intentional insult, or if the dwarf was just speaking his mind. As the dwarf continues, walker preps his non-litteral fire extinguisher to defuse the situation before the barbarion loose his cool.
With his responce prepped, he catches himself. He too had wondered this , and is curious as to what griff's responce will be. This was a topic of several conversations last market day. Walker holds his toungue, waiting to see how this plays out.

Griff puffs out his chest. What do you mean speak behind his back. Anything i saw about some one, I say to thier face. It is a thing called honor. Such as if I choose the name stumpy for you, i would not be an honor less curd and say it to only my friends, i would get on my knees, look you in the eye and call you stumpy. Now if have a problem with what I say, try saying it bluntly. Normally I listen....
