After squeezing through the crowd and with the help of a bard, Cuckoo, he brought us to meet Elder Murdow. We had a long conversation with Elder Murdow outside of his house. He told us about the tragedy that struck Ossington. It happened about three or four months ago when the horseman came to town. No one knew what he looks like as he never take off his helmet. What's worse is that after a while, the elves started attacking people from the village without any reason. When the previous mayor, Elder Meril led a group of villagers for a parley, they were massacred.
The villagers tried to ask for help but as soon as they leave the village, they were killed by the horseman. He said that the horseman was always lurking around the area to kill villagers that are attempting to leave. No one knew why the horseman were acting that way. It is believed that the horseman and the elves are working together. Elder Murdow asked for our help to defeat the elves and the horseman.
He offered us a house to stay in. It was an abandoned empty house at the corner of the street. As we untether our horses from the fence of his house. An arrow flew from the sky and hit Elder Murdow in the chest. Several birds and eagles appeared. The eagle grabbed Ryotine but luckily the fall didn't kill her. We killed the birds and eagles and noticed an elf running towards southeast. Faeron's arrow definitely hit him but the arrow flew through him instead. That made me realize, it was an illusion! We stopped chasing and went back to the spot where the elf was standing and checked for his tracks. We found a track leading southwest.
Tully, the swordman and Cuckoo came. We told them what happened and went chasing after the elf. On our way, we encountered the horseman again. After Faeron firing a warning shot, the horseman charged at us. The horseman was a total mystery. No physical attacks seems to hit him and magical attacks don't quite affect him either. As his horse made a loud growl, I had goosebumps, my legs were frozen and my heart almost stopped beating. It slowly turned it's head and stared at me with it's death-like red eyes, I screamed and ran away as far as I could as if death was chasing after me... It took a while before I finally calmed down.
As I return to them, I saw Ryotine conjured a lightning spell and struck the horseman. Then, the horseman faded away... Did it die or did he evaded the attack? What is he and what's wrong with this town?
