WEEK 2 - CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

Let's retire in the countryside
Just as you wish it


Welcome to Hillbury
You come to in an intricately decorated dressing room. For those familiar with it, the style seems to be that of a Victorian manor house, and to those that aren't, even you can tell this is a stately room fit for the elite. In fact, you too, are decorated to match, fully dressed in luxurious suits or dresses, elegant and perfectly tailored, but still somewhat breezy and lightweight for the time period and class it belongs to. Looking outside, you get a view of a rolling and bright countryside. In the far distance, fields of crops and grazing cows can be barely spotted, but all of the nearby landmarks are elegant manors presumably similar to the one you stand in.

I agree with that...

Also, wherever we are, it feels related to what we are experiencing back where we came from. It may even be the origin point.

So we should gain as much information as possible - the occultists are dismissed as maniacs here, but we've learned to know better about the existence of magic.

In light of that, I believe it may be best for Urianger or myself to accompany those who have an interest in the occult. As magic users, we may be able to glean more from their words than those who have little knowledge in that particular topic.

[With a nod,]

I agree with this. Sir Angus seemed to not dismiss the occult claims outright.

I'm passingly acquainted with the majority of his group, so I can accompany anyone investigating him.

Lord Barton and Felix Harker also seem to have their own connections to this hunt and the occult.

[So if someone else wants to go nose in their business feel free, we're gathering gossip while figuring out horses.]

Why do I not feel surprised to hear of Lord Barton having involvement...

[He's seemed pretty sketchy from the outset.]
