A Horrid Horde of Horrors

"Building his house?" Arad looked at the owner, and Jack approached, "Newly married, I guess?"

"No, he's been married for a while and lived alone. His house got damaged last week in a storm. So he decided to build a new one and use the chance to make it a bit bigger to accommodate the children."

"A storm strong enough to break a house. The other building in the village must be quite sturdy. I didn't see anyone of them that is damaged." Jack looked around with a smile.

"His house was poorly built." The owner replied, and looked at Arad, "Want to rent some rooms?"

"Yeah, two rooms would do it," Arad replied with a smile and left Jack to haggle for them with Lydia. He then took Aella and went out.

"Where are we going?" Aella asked looking around and seeing Arad looking at Village gate.

"I want to go check the surrounding of the village," Arad replied and looked at the road, "Then goblins might leave traces on the ground."
