The reunion of the investigation crews was... really, not all that grand. No fanfare, no lightshow, only muddy ground under the beautiful midmorning sun. Both halves had swelled in size despite the departure of one particular individual, but the more apparent difference since their last meeting was the various state of injuries on Jazdia's team while Matilda's crew was more or less unscratched. There's... more than a few words that needed exchanging, it looked like.

Probably not here though. The size of the group was attracting the eyes of the farmhand that Cedar and Solomon made a deal with earlier, currently starting some fire in a newly dug pit while two other farmhand and a young woman was busy peeling and chopping various ingredients into huge buckets next to them. The first farmhand waved at them.

[i]"Whoa, there's a lot of ya! An' 'ere I thought mistah' bear would be eating all this 'imself. Ah! I see ya've gotten acquintances wif' our hunter neighbors."[/i]

A few bouts of pleasantries later, the party left the farm and gathered into the local inn which thankfully was empty for the day. The dining area was big enough for them to be seated, and after a generous helping of coins was exchanged the previously sleepy innkeeper went off the back to prepare for food and drinks.

Now would be a good time to exchange reports.
