"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh!" Taxen muttered to himself quietly. This was bad, very bad, horribly bad, he had in his possession one of the worst things he could possibly acquire: Attention, and lots of it. To him, it was a lethal. He had no idea where he was, and suddenly he's being regarded as a hero... though then again, it could be worse, he could have been arrested for murder instead. These people didn’t seem to know what an Orc was, reffering it to instead as a daemon... strange, as they were very common, especially in a run down looking village like this settlement appeared to be. He would have guessed by the looks of it that the place was a perfect hunting ground for Orcs. He tired to move his way through the crowd, but everyone seemed to gather around him, giving him attention; asking if he was here to kill someone named Modovu.
"I don’t have a name." Taxen lied, he never gave out his name to those he didn’t trust, especially if it was possible to be traced. "And no, I'm not here to kill someone named Modovu, I don’t even know who that is, or really know why I should care." Taxen muttered, just loud enough for the elder to hear, he wanted to keep his voice quiet as well...

"Wow, really? That sounds great. To be treated like everyone else." She smiles and says,"I know, you should stay at my mothers inn tonight. I'm sure she would love to meet you......I mean, if it's ok with you."
(In town)
"Very well traveler, feel free to stay at my estate or one of the inns in town." Then as the headman let out a sigh he says,"I was hoping you might be interested in the reward for his head. But I guess not."

Taxen was not motivated by greed, the reward would be of little interest to him especially since he needed to find out where he was first before anything else really. He was however, moved by guilt, and his violent turndown did make him... reconsider, he should at least here them out. If they were terrified of an orc and calling it a deamon, perhaps this wanted man was no more than a gnome with a pick axe.
"Fine... who is Modovu?" Taxen questioned.

In response the headman says,"Mondovu is a terrifying boar demon that has led the boars to attack on our village many times over the past year. We have posted a bounty to anyone who can stop these attack by killing him."

One villager stood nearer the elder in the crowd, a hard worker from an old family, nodding vigorously at the man's description. Yes, the evil Mondovu! The beast! The demon!
Yet, Hiro Satoko was not quite himself that day.
Early in the morning he'd risen, before the sun kissed the horizon. He'd gone out to feed his single goat, little Yin bleating as one shadow on the roof dropped down.
Now Hiro's irises were a little too dark, and a self-proclaimed witch doctor sat in his head, controlling, observing. Lucubro found himself gone from his world again, snatched away and thrown into a new problem, a new conflict, a new time.
He glanced again at the ruined orc. Lucky me, the alien figured.
No, Hiro Satoko was not quite himself that day.

"Well, to be honest, I was just passing through," he answered the girl, feigning mild ignorance as to his location. "I was making way toward Doga, I heard some interesting rumors that I thought might be worth investigating."

Dynne hopped down amidst the group surrounding Taxen. "No. I cannot allow you to go alone, if you decide to go that is." He walked forward with an extended hand. "People around here call me Dynne. I've been hunting Mondovu for a while now, and he is very dangerous."

*Outside Village*
Miko smiles and says,"Great, that's where I live. I'll take you to my moms inn, she'd love to meet you." Then with a slight frown she says,"Also, I don't think anyone else would let you stay with them."
*Inside Village*
"If you wait, I am sure he will show his face again soon." And with a angry expression the headman says,"Those vile creatures always attack around this time. They don't deserve to exist."

"A daemon, huh?" Taxen repeated, his accent coming forth in his pronunciation of the word Demon. His voice however did not sound impressed, more that of sarcasm. Though he was curious, he had never heard of a boar demon before. Although he did not sound impressed, he knew that denizens of the Abyss were not to be underestimated... ever.
Suddenly a new figure appeared before him, making him almost jump in surprise, ready to attack the sudden ambusher, before realizing, that this person was just trying to be friendly... feh, telling him that he couldn’t leave without taking him along... he'd deal with him in a moment. Without turning to the newcomer, he held up his index finger to the newcomer, telling him physically he'd talk with him in just a moment. He then questioned the elder.
"Humor me, what is this reward?" While he was being polite, the reward probably would mean little to him. He was somewhere he wasn’t supposed to be, was cheated out of a grand deal, short on supplies, and was in a bad mood. Taxen most likely would not be impressed by the reward...

"The reward is that of fifty-thousand gold pieces, it is all our village can afford." The headman explains. The he says,"You don't have to decide now, please stay in town for a while." While thinking,"The longer he stays, the better the chance he'll have of defending the village from one of Modovu's attacks."

"Small fortune..." Taxen muttered. It would pay for some equipment that he needed to replace, however it was really nothing compared to what he almost aquired, but it was something. Still, these people needed help... and his conciense wouldnt allow him to simply turn around and walk away.
"You mentioned that they attack around this time... when specifically, and from where?" Taxen questioned, not agreeing to help just yet, but gathering information on the situation.

"Then tend to attack from the hills to the north around once a month, and it has been three weeks since there last attack." The headman explains. "They have been attacking us for almost a year, please you must stop them."

*Outside Village* Miko smiles and says,"Great, that's where I live. I'll take you to my moms inn, she'd love to meet you." Then with a slight frown she says,"Also, I don't think anyone else would let you stay with them." Dorian gave that dazzlingly perfect, white smile. "Well, if that's the case, I suppose I don't really have any other option than to take you up on your offer, do I?"

Miko says,"Great! Follow me." as she grabs Dorian's hand and starts walking to town.
