Session 9

General Summary

The day began with half of the party completing some shopping, and the other half pursuing Kallo's personal goal.
Firal visited the market with Leon to obtain a pearl, but decided to have it attached to a chain, so had to leave it with the jeweler to have the chain fitted. After visiting the market district, they spent the rest of the day wandering the entire city, gauging the layout, and ending their exhibition with a picnic in the druid circle near the center of town.
While those two were adventuring, Kallo and Wyndi went on a fact-finding expedition, where Kallo was fruitlessly searching for information about his parents, despite a lack of information to go off of.
Both pairs ultimately met up in the center of town, where they soon remembered one of their main motivations for traveling to Woodhurst, the missing kids. They made up for this slight setback by spending the night staking out the local school, which they discovered isn't a boarding school, and then moving their search to the local residential neighborhoods. Eventually, they discovered a kid running into the woods, and they caught him.
The child, Caden, was unresponsive, and mildly violent. They party searched his person and found a mirror, but decided to destroy it in an effort to get him to talk again, but it didn't work. They finally managed to get him to talk after knocking him out and waking him up again. Caden talked about this mysterious Granny that had been talking to him and was talking to Tommy, who had disappeared previously. Caden seemed rather reluctant to talk about the Granny, until he discovered that the mirror had been broken.
As soon as he could, Caden made a break for it, taking off towards home and climbing back into his room, where he accidentally slammed his window closed and woke up his parents. Because of this, Kallo and the rest of the party decided to talk to the parents of the kid. This ultimately lead to the party being encouraged to stay with the family in the basement of the house, in order to protect Caden.
The next day the party continued their investigation, heading to the local school that Caden attends. They talked with the headmaster, who was in a meeting with Caden's mother, about the situation. The headmaster told the party that they couldn't interrogate the staff and students during school, and he also seemed to confirm many of their suspicions.
The party also asked the mother of any places that kids normally spend time, other than the school, and the mother mentioned a general store in town.
The party made their way to the general store in order to look for clues, and talked to the owner, who seemed clueless. And the session ended with the party leaving the store.
