Following up on our story of last week, Orianna and I decided to check up on the worker shortage in Ocllo. Upon arrival we noticed a marked increase in the number of workers in the town. When questioned the shopkeepers stated that 15 of the workers returned yesterday. We went in search of one of them and found him within a few minutes of asking around. <input type="image" src="http://uo.stratics.com/newspics/baja/Sara_Dawn_01.jpg" name=Occlo><o

> “Good, very good! I missed my family but earned enough gold pieces between what we were paid when we left and what we got when we returned that I can put some gold in bank for my kids.”<o

> “Describe the events that lead up to your return yesterday.”<o

> “Mr. Runeblade told us during lunch two days ago that most of us would not be needed anymore as most of the work was done and would be gated back home tomorrow morning. He said that five of us would be needed for about another week to finish up the remaining work and asked for volunteers. At that moment, Lady WildStar appeared and said that there would be a feast tonight and that five single men should stay behind as we had been away from our families long enough and thanked us for our hard work. We had roasted pig, barbecued chicken and beef, the third best cookies I have ever eaten – my mom and wife being first and second – and plenty of ale, cider, wine and liquor. We were gated back to the bank mid-morning yesterday and paid the remaining gold pieces we were owed for our work, which was 15,000 gold.” <o

></o

> “I was doing carpentry work.” He said vaguely.<o

> We looked at each other and realized that we would have to try to trip him up to get some solid information from him.<o

> “You look like a man who takes pride in his work.” He nodded. “Are you proud of the work you did in Dawn?”<o

></o

> He grinned broadly and said, “Oh yes. It is like the buildings are ……” he paused then continued “Lady WildStar and Mr. Runeblade asked us to keep quiet about what we have done as an announcement would be made soon about what is going on in Dawn.”<o

> We thanked him for his time and decided to travel to Dawn and look around the city. We recalled on the rune that Oriana marked after our previous encounter with Mr. Runeblade and headed north. As we came upon were we had seen the men working before, we noticed one change right away – the name on the building had changed. It was now called “The Ethereal Travel Inn & Rune Library”. No one was around, so we went inside and noticed that work appeared to be about half way done – the furniture was in place but runebooks were missing or incomplete. <input type="image" src="http://uo.stratics.com/newspics/baja/Sara_Dawn_02.jpg" name=Dawn> <input type="image" src="http://uo.stratics.com/newspics/baja/Sara_Dawn_03.jpg" name=Dawn2> <o

> Oriana and I decided that we needed to talk to Grand Duchess WildStar as soon as we could contact her. <input type="image" src="http://uo.stratics.com/newspics/baja/Sara_Dawn_08.jpg" name=dawn> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table></body>
