-Once back at the store, [[people:Esandeor]] explains that the attack was probably because of his status with the elves. While the [[creatures:elf|elves]] in town have been sociable to him, he is considered one of the forsaken – an elf in blood, but not in spirit. Many elves consider the forsaken to be outcasts and not worthy of life. [[people:Brizanimthus]] knows that he is hiding something, but elects to keep it to himself.

 Briz spends his day wandering through the various taverns and shops of [[atlas:Ulrichstein]] looking for juicy rumors and innuendo. What he finds troubles him. The town may not believe the "outsiders" are dark wizards, but not they speak of them as "elf friends" in the same manner that one speaks of garbage or refuse. To little time has passed for the mood of the town to swing so wildly, something must be influencing them.

 ==== Tension Building ====
-That night everyone is discussing what has happened over dinner. It is decided to bring this to the attention of the [[people:Tobias Kuhn|Baron Ulrichstein]] and Inquisitor [[people:Valten]] in the morning. While they are cleaning the dishes there is a loud sound outside and something heavily hits the front of the shop. [[people:Sofiya]] peeks outside and sees a small mob of people gathered with torches and stones. A few of them hurl stones at the store while shouting insults of "elf lovers" and "traitors." Briz steps outside ans while he is able to diffuse the situation, the leader eyes [[people:Amer Terrente]] angrily. Amer recognizes him as the craftsman whose arm he twisted to secure a better price on the repairs to the store front.

-The next morning they go before the Baron and request to speak to him and the Inquisitor. Father [[people:Oswald]] is also there when they bring to his attention the dark miasma that is coming towards the town. The Baron is less that pleased it took this this long to bring it to his attention, but when they mention the lack of watchmen driving off the mob last night, he relents that things are difficult for everybody. Before they leave he agrees to send two of his huntsmen along with Father [[people:Dominic]] to investigate this miasma.

 When they return to the store it shows obvious signs of decay – far too quick to have happened naturally. Briz discovers that an entropy curse has been placed on the building – lending it an aura of disrepair and danger. He opens himself to the curse, but instead of dissipating it, the curse affects Briz causing his clothes to immediately rot off.

 ==== Buried Cheese ====
-Once back at the store Xarth shows Briz the books that [[people:Carina]] left behind when she fled. The stories talk about a great war between the dwarves and some notes indicate a major battle took place near here. It speaks of a "Great Machine of War" the likes of which the dwarves have never seen before. It hints that this machine killed tens of thousands of dwarves before it was finally shackled. They worry that Carina could find this machine and release it without really knowing what it is. Scary.

-Sofiya and Amer go to speak with the Baron. Inside his courtyard they find Squire [[people:Himmel]] in armor and talking to a pair of hunters. He scowls at them, but takes no further action. The Baron does not have time to speak with them, but they do manage to speak to the town’s perfumer. He tells them a customer does in fact purchase a very strong perfume fairly regularly. He says the poor man seems to be cursed with a strong and very distasteful smell. With a great deal of coaxing he tells them the man is staying at the Blue House Inn.

 Xarth and Esandeor leave a note for Sofiya at the store and go northwest into the woods. Briz settles into the shadows around the teleportation circle. Sofiya gets the note and spends the rest of the day at the store cursing her employees. Amer talks to the gate guards and gets the name of the young man, Owen, then he buries the cheese. It was bad cheese.
