"So, you fear your fate that much?" August lets the old man go; he had only wanted information anyway, but it seemed this one was not as easily intimidated as he had appeared, and even hidden as he would be down in that hole, it would be too easy for someone to cut him off.

Sheathing his sword, August blows out the remaining candles in the church to avoid attracting any more of the dead and sets about a more thorough inspection of the building's interior. If that man had been the source of the town's curse somehow... perhaps there would be some sign of what he had done.

Taking 10 on Search for 13 around the edges and the floor, and taking 20 for 23 on the altar area. Figure I can probably spend half an hour or so searching before returning to the inn, although August will withdraw outside the door if it seems anyone is coming up through the hole.
