Event: June 1312

[northcliffpass]

WHO: the town of Northcliff Pass and their new friends
WHAT: the Shepherds have returned
WHEN: early June
WHERE: the town square
NOTES: oh this gonna get real gnarly yall

The month has been quiet, cheerful even, with the snow melting away in its entirety and giving way to the beautiful sunny weather with which Northcliff Pass is blessed this time of year. It will last a few months like this: high-70’s, a light breeze, flowers blooming and birds singing, until it’s time for winter to reclaim the mountain again. But in the meantime, all is bucolic.

It’s a pity a damper is thrown onto it when, one evening, the two Shepherds return from the pass. They’d been gone long enough for everyone to more or less put them out of mind-- people do come and go, after all-- but when they come back they have a third traveler, and he looks rather worse for wear.

The Watch bell is rung, and all townspeople are summoned to gather in the fountain square. The Shepherds stand in front of the town hall with their shivering charge between them, waiting stoically for the townsfolk to gather.

More than anything, at least at first, Lance is mostly grumpy that they had the audacity to ring the Watch bell and make everyone think there was an emergency. Which... there is, in a way, but not the kind he's equipped to deal with.

He's not entirely equipped to stand in the way of temple officials here to do their job, but he doesn't look at all happy about it, eyeing the pair with open suspicion.
