	Inola, as the sheriff had given her name earlier, looks a little panicked about the place, searching for something to give her. ~~Crys~~ in the cell shifts a bit to pick up a blanket that had been left there, and carries it out, handing it to the younger woman with a respectful glance before returning to a location where she can watch. Sorien's already moved on to, "And we hear you had visitors before us?"

	A flick of her tufted ear accompany a greater smirk across the lynx's face. Grantok remains quiet to let the elder continue her thoughts and answer the questions already placed before her.

	Inola leans in and whispers to [REDACTED], "Would you all be upset if I asked to come with you? If you're going after those bastards, I'd really like to be sure they die." An odd person to ask, considering ~~Crys~~ has snown no outward leadership. She looks a little lost, unsure and seeking help from the others on the answer.

	Heath slowly cocks his head towards the old woman. "How did the fake coyote trick?" he slowly stood up and walks to the old woman nice and slowly. His dual-colored eyes full of curiosity.. though Balina spoke, his ears folded back for a moment then he gave a huff.. before he sat back down on his haunches. "Could story of when and wear also help by knowing how tricked? If know how tricked it may give ideas."		Heath slowly cocks his head towards the old woman.

	Eithne nods, and waves to the Elder. "When we get back from dealing with the group of assailants you'll tell us, then...?" the cat asks quietly, ears partially flattening as she gets a Bad Feeling. She slowly meanders over to resit by the maps, pulling out a highlighter to mark the fastest path to the landmark she thinks the riders have holed up in.		Eithne nods, and waves to the Elder.

	Sorien slips over to ~~Crys~~ and gives her a quick embrace, before answering Inola, "Of course you are welcome. Do you know much about the area? We could use a guide I'm sure." ~~Crys~~ looks relieved to not be responsible for answering. "I have no issue, but are you sure she'll be alright if we leave her here? She mentioned something about them wanting her blood." indicating the eldress departing.

	Ash tips his hat at Sparhawk, and gets the police car started, before opening a door for the Eldress who shambles in. She gives a quick smile at Sparhawk as she sits. "I will be sure to include you." and then a nod before the door is shut. The police car revs off, leaving the group to decide their course of action.

	Inola adds, "Oh yes, definitely. Three bullets in the chest would stop a man. He did not stop, and killed just as easily. Drained the blood of the Eldress' husband, and then set fire before they left." She looks about, "Would it be easier to follow them if I bring you to where they were, or did you already have an idea of where to head?"		Inola adds, "Oh yes, definitely.

	Sparhawk ambles along at the back of the group, without proper pockets to put hands in. Roasted human is, alas, a sensation to which visitors to Woodfield tend to become desensitized.

	~~Crys~~ seems to hesitate following, hanging back from the rest. She looks upset, visibly upset. Above, the closer they get, the darker the sky above grows, like a storm cloud hitting suddenly casting the place in an eerie violet overcast. The place tingling with energy. Sorien's tail is agitated, she's felt this before. Everyone in fact can sense it. An overwhelming sense of pain, like a strain on the earth itself, the closer to the source they get the more maddening it makes the skin itch.

	Eithne does not like the feeling, and it's rather obvious as she curls into Balina's backpack, little wisps of Phoenix Fire kicking into being around her. "... mrrrrrr." is her only sound, TEETH pulling into a vicious snarl and ears flattening to her head. One paw flexes, claws sliding in and out.

	The door handle was warm to begin with, Eithne twists it, and the door pops, slowly creaking its way open. Light from outside extending like a hand, uncovering first black boots, and then brown pant legs, stretching outward to grasp upward over him. The shiny metal of a sheriff’s badge reflects back as the light hits it. Then nothing, where the rest of the body should be, there's just a bloodstain on the ground. As the darkness is uncovered, light spreads over surfaces, and the darkness seems to almost bubble and writhe.

	~~Crys~~ strides forward, and takes her blade and swings at the metal wire holding the Elder's body up by its neck. One clean swipe brings it crashing to the ground. She is scrambling through her pouch, pulling out red prayer beads, and unhooks the water pouch at her waist, dumping it on the body.

	Blood! Balina prepares to pounce, only barely remembering herself as she stands at the threshold. "Blood, dark, shadows, blood... Love, could you turn off the fire for just a moment? I think I need a few moments in the dark with the lack of a body."		Blood! Balina prepares to pounce, only barely remembering herself as she stands at the threshold. "Blood, dark, shadows, blood...

	Sparhawk, the strangest of strange things, is still leaning against the outside wall. Next to a window that blows feeble wind into the room and lets the conversation out for the blue skunk hexataur's flicking ears to catch.

	Balina glances about to make sure nobody else is going to say it before she flops her head down atop a paw. "This is going to be one of those evenings. Okay, are we doing riddles, puns, or is this simply a case of storytime? I'm sure that the people who came through here first aren't going to make any headway out there in the meantime."

	Outside, the young man fidgets nervously, but notices the creature nearby looking at him. He shuffles a bit, then speaks up. "What, exactly, are you? How can you live looking like that? How can any of you?" Inside, Inola places a hand on ~~Crystala~~'s shoulder, a small thank you of sorts for the blanket, and a curious look toward the leopardess is passed. Sorien pauses in her rapt attention to scold Balina, "Bal, don't be rude." before turning back, "We do want to hear, it's why we came after all." cheerfully delivered.

	The Eldress frowns, "You young ones always think you know everything. I did explain earlier, that stories are not in what is told, but how." and a hand reaches out to scratch Heath, petting at the wolf's head like a friendly dog. "I will give you the whole story child, but this tale is broken, and I must rest." To which she gets slowly up on her crooked ankles. She rummages about in her pockets, and pulls out a feather, and then takes a bit of leather tying it around Heath's neck. She slowly makes her way up and out, immediately saying to Ash, "Please bring me home." The conversation broken before he can respond to Sparhawk. "Uh..." looking back and forth between the eldress and the hexataur. "I'll take your word for it." before getting the vehicle ready.

	Grantok shrugs, looking at ~~Crystala~~ out of the corner of her eye. Her attention has moved back towards the maps at the resurgence of interest in the assailants from the last night.

	Sparhawk ambles along to the car. "I'd offer a ride of my own, madam, but I expect a car is kinder to your joints than any running creature known to man. Don't tell that story before I'm around to hear it too." To Ash himself shi says, "I'll try and cobble together a solar panel for the fan when I come back. Dunno how long that battery will last."

	~~Crystala~~ pours the entire contents of the pouch over the corpse, chanting some sort of mantra to herself quietly, and closes the man's open eyes, though they are hard to do. The water clears off the flies in a swarm, as they take to the air. The water strikes the wound, and seeps inside the flesh. She eventually lifts it up into her arms and walks by Inola, "I'm going to take him somewhere to rest that isn't here. Is there anywhere his family would prefer?" Inola's response is distracted, her eyes watching Balina. "Bring him to Ash, he'll show you where to bring it."

	Inside the door slams shut and with it the light. Windows don't seem to let any light in, and when the last spec of light blinks out with the door, the place is filled with utter silence. Balina and Heath can't even hear their own breathing or hearts. The only sensation is the pungent scent of blood, the smell of death, and that strong scent of corruption that fills the place, the one Balina is quite familiar with. And then there's the sound of dripping, breaking the silence, like something dropping from the ceiling to the floor.		Inside the door slams shut and with it the light.
