On Alia listening in on the conversation's of the villagers she only of the what you would hear in any fishing village, except that the Patron God of the village is called Algor . It is a God that Alia has never heard of before in all her travels . But the God sounds like many similar Sea or Ocean Gods she may have heard about on her travels through the Realms . On questioning the villagers about this God she finds out that he some type of Giant and that he created the Ocean by giving a great part of himself to create it . The villagers will prepare the fish with special oils and then the rest will be used for the feast later today . About the "monkey men" the villagers no less about them than the rest of the party does as the villagers did not encounter them directly and had never heard about them at all until they had abducted their children from them . It does not look as if Bane or any form of Bane worship is in this village at all as far as she can tell .

Sara's Interview

"Thank you for helping the village in it's time of need . That is all the questions I have for you at this time . " And with that Ping escorts Sara out of his home . After taking Sara out of his home he hails a small girl to come into his house . After brief time in there she comes out and seems to move as if on a mission of some sort as she skips along on what ever errand Ping may have send her on .

Sara just nods and has started pacing to meet the others when sees the girl get in Ping's house and exit pretty soon. Sara notices the girl's rush so runs after her and with a calm voice so not to alarm her asks:

"Excuse me, I'm Sara Croft, one of the rescuers of the missing children. I couldn't help notice that you entered Mr Ping's house and he seems to have told you to do something for him. Do you need any help to accomplish your task? You know very often 2 people are better than one to do something."

"Nay, I'm just on an errand for Old man Ping is all . And I also know the village better than you . But thanks any way ."The little girl says to Sara as she skips away at a good clip ."And besides I don't want to split the treat he said he would give me for doing this ."The girl mutters under her breath .

"Very well" Says Sara. But still she isn't convinced. So decides to follow the girl. She let her go first and then she moves as silent as she can behind her trying to remain also hidden.

Dalorna pokes around town a bit, asking questions- but only if her brother and Isidar come with her.


Her stated goal is to find Alia- and then look out for Sara's return.

Alia is easy to find, and smiles politely and bows as Dalorna approaches

It seems that a deity called Algor is worshipped here. A sea god. I have never heard of him, but he seems mu ch what you would expect from a deity of the sea

''Algor? I've never heard of him. Of course, there are so many gods, and some of them have more than one name."

As Sara follows the Girl she is taken on an involuntary tour of the village as the Girl seems to be looking for something or someone . As the girl steps into a hut for little bit of time, Sara is waiting for her to come back out . It seems like she is has been in there for more than 15 minutes .

About a minute after the Girl enters the hut she leaves by a back entrance that Sara can not see after getting some dried fish to snack on while on her errand for Ping . She finally finds the person she has been looking for in the person of Huln the Professor . She goes right up to him saying "Hey, my name is Amy . I was told to bring you to Old Man Ping ." With that she starts to tug on Huln's arm to bring him to see Ping .

The Professor smiles at the the young girl, not giving away any apprehension he has towards the old gentleman Ping.
"But of course child. Lead and I will follow."

Well, this is it. Huln thinks to himself. Time to get to the bottom of this.

"Algor? Who's that? I've heard of Umberlee, the bitch goddess, but that is pretty much it." Arnulf notices the look Lorna gives him at his words and shrugs. "Hey. I think you've heard worst than what I said, sis. If we hang around a bit longer I am sure we will learn more of this "Algor"."

Arnulf accentuates the word Algor with both his hands, index and middle finger of each together, making a make believe parenthesis with both hands and their fingers.

Isidar listens to Alia and Arnulf and then turns to the nearest villager to say, "I hear that your village's patron god is Algor. I have also heard that people in this region worship Bane. Is this so? Have you heard of Umberlee or Gond?"

"Bane ?" The villager answers Isidar . "Well I know they worship the Lawgiver in the big cities far to the north . But I have never heard of this Bane or Um-ber lee you or the other one Gond you said right ? " "We have a small shrine to Algor here is all . One of the old men had some kind of dreams that told him to go to a certain spot to fish . And had been having bad luck that whole week in how much he had been getting that so he gave it try . And came back from that spot with a lot of fish that day ." The villager pauses in his story :"Well after that he said few more dreams came to him showing how the shrine should look . So he built one on the dock as a place to leave offerings . "
