Zachary Thorrson spies the city of Waterdale just ahead. The town is a welcome sight indeed. He is wearing a royal blue tunic and pantaloons underneath his shiny plate mail, both of which could stand a good washing. As a priest of Odin, the All-Father, he has traveled many miles, spreading the word about honor in battle, the wonders of Valhalla, and the evil of giants. Most of the people he has encountered have been polite, but not very receptive to his message. Apparantly, the entire pantheon of Norse gods is practically unknown in this land. Zachary plans to do something about that.

He has heard tales of this Waterdale. It is a popular town that is growing daily, but it still has it share of troubles from creatures that inhabit the surrounding area. "This definitely sounds like a good place to start my temple." Zachary thinks to himself. I shall have to look into that straight-away."

As he enters the town, he notices a definite lack of activity. Wandering on, he nears the gov't building and hears many voices inside. He enters to investigate and disovers that he has just walked in on a town meeting.

Hidden in the shadows across the street, Caladar watched the priest enter the Town Hall. He followed him in - from a discreet distance and saw the large gathering of townsfolk. Even MORE importantly, he saw the large money pouches attached to several of the belts in the audience.

"I'm sure they could never use all that money themselves. I ought to help them out."

And with that, Caladar began to discreetely remove a few of the pouches along the outer edge of the crowd.
