Ekai for once had found himself in a town where his hideous physical appearance wasn't as much of a detriment to him as usual. Recently the small town of Lawnilothhlle had been struck by a mysterious plague which left many of it's inhabitants with an array of scars similar to his own. Still conscious about his appearance Ekai chose to be more subtle than his barbarian kinfolk would in entering the small village and didn't kill anyone on the way in.
Ekai, like any adventurer would, made his way first to the inn to find out about local events and any possible link to his ultimate quest to find his home. Upon entering he was suprised to find only 3 people, all sat at different corners of the room and none of them paying him any attention. He made his way to the bar and asked for a drink.
"Ye'll be wanting to cover those wounds if ye be wishing to travel to any of the villages in the area, plague bearers aren't welcome in these parts" hissed the barman
Ekai decided it was best not to kill this barman and instead chose to give him a friendly warning, taking him by the collar and bringing him close
"I'm no plague bearer, I'm just a man looking for his homeland, if you wish to compare me with your rat eating village folk then you may find yourself scattered across their homes"
"Say what ye will but if you don't kill me the plague will so I can't win either way" The barman wheezed, coughing blood as he did so
"You sicken me, tell me who has knowledge of these areas before I put you out of your misery"
"The hooded man by the fireplace knows all"
Ekai sat by the fireplace and talked with the hooded man for hours, he learned much about the geography of the area including the location of a barbarian village to the northeast, famed localy for it's unusually powerful bezerker army. Ekai wondered if this would be his chance to return home and claim his place as leader, he decided it was his best chance for the time being and so left the pub to seek this village.
