 | Black Jay's Cottage sits right across the path from the Abby of St. Cuthbert. You can see a few sheep outside in the pin as you approach. Sitting on the porch of the small cottage is a ragged looking man, his hair unkept, his eyes opened wide, he looks like he is in a state of distress but his actions are calm, he sits on the porch smoking from a pipe. You have smell the pipeweed as you approach. |
| Black Jay looks dishevled, but he catches his attentions and then looks to Stormrider when he comes closer. "My Sheep, Oh yes, My Sheep. Something has been killing them in my field, but I don't know what. I keep waking up and finding them dead in my field." he says. |
| Black Jay looks shakes his head. "Here come around back and look, I had another one just this morning die on me." he says as he gets up off the porch and walks around to the side. He enters through a small gate into the gated pasture You can see four sheep in the pasture. He takes you over to a small shed and opens the door. Inside you see a dead sheep, it looks to have died recently, no marks, no wounds, nothing seems to be wrong with it on the outside. At least from the experience you have with animals. "I just don't know what it is." he says. |
| Black Jay nods. "I've already talked to Father Calmert, he too is unsure, but he didn't do what you just did, he just checked on the sheep, and couldn't figure it out either. That's why I put out the flier on the notice board, thought maybe someone that knew about animals could help." he says. |
| Black Jay nods. "Thank you, that would be perfect. Without my sheep, I don't know how I would survive, I didn't want to butcher them without knowing how they died, maybe its something they are eating." he says, as he walks out into the pasture and looks around. Kicking a tuff of grass. |
| Black Jay's Cottage sits right across the path from the Abby of St. Cuthbert. You can see a two sheep outside in the pin as you approach, a one laying on the ground dead. You see Black Jay running around his small house trying to get the shutters closed on all the windows. The Sheep are bleating something awful. |
