Hark looked at the courier as she voiced her concerns and then not too long after the innkeeper piped up. [color=a36209]"Hark, my friend. I know you have your orders, but the king must know the trouble the Cult's presence has caused."[/color] The innkeeper said to the Royal Guard- Hark. -Hark was the man's name. Apparently they were acquaintances. [color=a36209]"I don't know what they are telling people, but what I do know is, ever since they came here, everyday people have begun to attack people they have known their whole life. [/color]

 The innkeeper paused before continuing. [color=a36209] I've seen people attack family claiming them to be crooks, cheaters, whores. My wife's best friend killed her husband and before going after my wife calling her a harlot. And the one thing all these people have in common? They've all visited the Inn at the center of town. The one the Cult has procured. The king must hear this, Hark! Shimmer Town's lord won't listen to our cries, but surely the king will listen! I don't believe all this talk of him abandoning us." [/color]

 He looked at the the innkeeper and then back to the courier, [color=007236]"Well the kind has been so called enlightened by one of the elder members of the Cult and is far too busy to be concerned for the likes of a few complaints and concerns from the citizens of the towns the Cult operates in."[/color] He took the last bite of his quail and washed it down with his drink, [color=007236]"I suggest you just ignore it the king wont help anymore than the towns lord."[/color] 

Although Hark pretended it didn't bother him that the Cult's practices were indeed causing trouble deep down he was worried about the plague the king seamed to unleash. Just as he was about to get up and leave he heard the man who's life he saved mutter something about the town being in real danger. Hark was about to dismiss the comment but his gut told him otherwise as his expression showed he might just know something he didn't. 

 [color=007236]"I'm the commanding officer of the royal guardsmen that are monitoring this towns Cult activities."[/color] Hark said in a low and serious voice , [color=007236]"If you know of real danger you better tell me so I can do something about it, I don't trust these Cultists anymore than you do."[/color]
